What are the Buddhist etiquette for offering incense?

Place incense and worship Buddha: clean your hands, straighten your clothes, and meditate quietly.

Lighting candles:

⑴Stand in front of the candlestick. If there is a candle on the table, you can light it directly on the candle to continue the good relationship.

⑵ After the candle is lit, hold both hands vertically and raise them up, silently reciting: "The light will shine in all directions and eliminate all darkness."

⑶ Place the candle firmly on the candlestick. It is worth noting that you should try not to leave wax, matchsticks, paper or other debris on the ground.

Put incense:

① Light the incense (you can light it on a candle, save matches and cherish blessings everywhere, as the saying goes: cherish blessings carefully and give generously), use the middle and middle keys of both hands. The index finger holds the incense stick, and the thumb holds the incense tail.

② Place the incense on your chest, raise the incense to your eyebrows, and recite silently: "First, pay respect to the Buddhas, second, praise the Tathagata, third, practice extensively and make offerings, fourth, repent of sins and obstacles, fifth, rejoice in the merits, and sixth The first one is to turn the Dharma wheel (these two words must be separated, otherwise it cannot be transmitted). The seventh one is to ask the Buddha to live in the world. The eighth one is to always follow Buddhism. The ninth one is to be obedient to all sentient beings. The tenth one is to dedicate universal devotion. ”
