When should we burn incense?

You can burn incense on any day, afternoon or morning.

According to the traditional custom of our country, the people have the custom of burning incense and praying in the temple on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. This custom comes from Buddhism, which stipulates that Buddhist believers should fast, recite scriptures and respect Buddha on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is actually equivalent to Sunday, and then spread among the people.

Actually, it's not the number of times you burn incense. Usually once in the morning and once in the evening, you don't need to pay attention to the exact time. Any day is fine. The rest of the time is whatever you like and convenient. As long as you want to burn incense and worship Buddha, this is the best time, because at this time, you have both faith and will, but you can do it. Buddhism emphasizes belief, desire and behavior.

The true meaning of incense:

First, show reverence and respect for the three treasures, so as to demonstrate and attract all beings.

The second is to send a message to the void dharma circle to understand the ten treasures blessing.

Third, it means burning incense in ten ways to remind Buddhist disciples of their selfless dedication.

Fourth, it means that Buddhist precepts are really fragrant, which means "practice precepts diligently, be calm, and eliminate greed and ignorance". Buddha doesn't like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts and commandments of Buddha disciples, which are really fragrant.

The Buddhist scripture says, "All offerings come first." The so-called Buddhist support is the teachings in Buddhist scriptures, such as the principles of Buddhism being recited, self-transformation, and speaking to people. That is, in daily life, in dealing with people and things: "If you don't do evil, all good will be pursued."
