Why are incense lamps always lit in front of Buddha statues?

Because in the Buddhist tradition, there are countless merits in offering lamps, incense and flowers in front of Buddha statues.

"Buddha for the long old man says that karma is different" says: All beings get ten kinds of merits when they offer lanterns:

First, shine on the world like a lamp;

Both, in the place where they were born, are not bad to the naked eye;

Third, from the eye of the sky;

Fourth, wisdom comes from the law of good and evil;

Fifth, eliminate shovels;

Sixth, become smart and smart;

Seven, circulation in the world, often not in the dark;

Eight, there are great blessings;

Nine, life for life;

Ten, quickly prove nirvana.

There is a record in the Classic of Lighting Merits: fewer lamps are blessed. Only the Buddha can know the result of the gathering of Ford. People in the world, Monty, Brahman, Saman, Brahma. Even the voice of Buddha can't be known. If so, there are few lights. You can't say what you received. Sharifutsu。 The realm of Buddha is incredible. Only Tathagata, right? Know this meaning. Sharifutsu。 Peter the lamplighter. Get good luck Boundless and uncountable. Only the Tathagata can know.
