The rules of burning incense and worshiping Buddha in temples?

On the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when Buddhism and Taoism are auspicious, good men and women will go to the temple to burn incense, worship Buddha and pray. Besides piety, there are some things you must know about burning incense in temples. Let us understand:

There are many bodhisattvas in the temple. You can worship them one by one if you like. If time doesn't allow, burn them in front of the Ursa major. The steps are as follows:

1, I invited the incense myself, and others can't pay for it.

2. It is best to burn incense with your own fire (three is enough, no need to burn a lot), facing the main hall door; Holding three Qing Xiang lightly in both hands (the man's left hand is above, the right hand is below, and the woman is in the other hand), he suddenly mentioned the above.

The blazing fire will go out at once. Never blow it out with your mouth.

3. When burning incense, burn incense first and then worship. Three sticks of incense is enough. You can worship in the stove. You can bow three times when you pass each Buddhist temple. Buddhism doesn't take it seriously at all. The most important thing is whether you are clean and self-centered.

4. Hold the incense to your forehead, close your eyes and make a wish, and then worship three times. (The height of incense cannot be lower than the lower body)

5, turn right, facing east (generally the hall door faces south), make a wish according to the third step, and worship three times; Then face south and face north. After the worship, you can insert the incense into the incense burner. Note: burn incense with your left hand, because the right hand kills people, and the left hand should be relatively peaceful. You shouldn't throw it into the incense burner.

6. Don't burn incense when a woman menstruates.

7. Burning incense in the temple is to light your heart, and lighting a lamp is to light your heart. At this time, you can get the blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattva, thus gaining wisdom and so on. So you can burn one incense, two incense, and three incense at most. No need to burn more. When you enter the temple to burn incense, you can bring it with you or buy it from outside. However, incense is usually found in the main hall and can be used directly. If economic conditions permit, you can put some merit money into the merit box. If it is difficult, don't worry that the Bodhisattva won't blame you, and you have the same merits in worshipping Buddha.

8. Burn three incense, one for Buddha, one for dharma and one for monk; In the middle of the cushion in the temple, it is for family members to worship Buddha. In the family, men bow their heads with the left one and women with the right one. When entering the temple gate, it is best to carry the hat and walking stick by yourself or put it in his room, and never put it on the Buddha case or the Buddha table. Try not to walk in the middle. Walk along the edge of the stairs. Men are left and women are right. Try not to walk through the main entrance, because the night abbot's door comes from the main entrance, while the novice monk comes from the side entrance. Therefore, in order to be consistent with the temple, everyone tries to enter from the side entrance, men are left and women are right. When entering, try to cross his right foot. When going out, go out from the side entrance, and don't step on the threshold (generally, the threshold of the temple is very high). Never step on the threshold when you enter the temple gate.

9. Be pious, be honest and keep your hands clean. Don't make a loud noise and say irrelevant "nagging" in the temple. Don't point your finger at the Buddha statue. Don't talk loudly and say disrespectful things. More importantly, you can't make a wish casually, because you must keep it; If you are not sure, don't make a wish. You can seek peace and health. Don't just promise to give the Buddha something to support and then forget it. Buddha does not dispute your fragrance. This statement tells us not to make promises at will. The so-called life must be carried out as promised. It should be these lies that annoy the Buddha.

10, walk clockwise in the temple to worship Buddha, don't cross the futon, because it will give people a sense of solemnity. Don't walk in front of someone when he is praying.

1 1, the wish will come true soon. Come back after a year's wish has come true. Just go in and ask someone. If you don't make a wish, just worship, then you don't have to. Generally speaking, monasteries don't have to make a wish, but you'd better make a wish and do a lot of good deeds. Make a wish. Make your own wish.

12. Without the consent of the temple, you are not allowed to pick flowers and fruits within the management scope of the temple, or take offerings without permission. This is also a wrong behavior. It is called "Stealing from all directions to live forever" and there must be a reward.
