Can I burn incense and worship the Buddha during menstruation, and can I go to the temple to burn in

Of course. Many people ask this question, are "during the menstrual period can not enter the temple to worship the Buddha" said frightened, in fact, this is not in Buddhism is such a statement, the Buddha does not care about this, in addition, I also consulted a lot of high monks, including female monks (that is, our so-called "nuns"), the answer is yes, you think, especially the women's dojo (commonly known as "nuns"), they all live in the practice, everywhere worship the Buddha, do you have to move to the temple to live outside the temple in those days? It can be seen that the statement that "you are not allowed to enter the temple to worship the Buddha during the menstrual period" is a fallacy.

So you just have to go and worship the Buddha and offer incense.

Of course, everything has a root, so where does the saying "you can't go into the temple to worship the Buddha during your menstrual period"? Originated from Chinese folk worship of ancestors, because the ancestors became gods, the yang energy is very heavy, so when worshipping the ancestors, women who come to menstruation are forbidden to enter, the reason is that women are considered to be yin, and they will be chongke; Second, ancestor sacrifice comes from ancient times, and scientific knowledge was not popularized in that era, believing that menstruation comes from the lower body, which is homologous to feces and urine, and is not clean, and thirdly, blood represents war, disaster and bloodshed, which is not auspicious, so it is forbidden for women to sacrifice to their ancestors during menstruation. Then it was slowly misunderstood by later generations, and it was extended to the misunderstanding that "you can't enter the temple to worship the Buddha during the menstrual period".

In the same way, if the girl is pregnant, after giving birth and other factors, if the physical strength permits, of course, you can also go to the temple to worship the Buddha.

Of course, you can go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha during your period. There is no other way to say this, how can there be so many words, it is all superstition. If you are not feeling well and have poor physical strength, you can arrange it as appropriate.

As long as you are sincere, you can burn incense and worship the Buddha at any time! Of course, you can burn incense and worship Buddha during your period. Don't believe that menstruation is unclean, it's an insult to a woman.

Can you burn incense and worship the Buddha during your period, you should go to the Buddha hall to consult about this?

During menstruation, it is not allowed to go to the temple to offer incense, and the reasons for prayer are as follows. We have rumors in the community that women are not allowed to enter the Buddha hall during menstruation, nor can they worship the Buddha with incense, thinking that the blood is dirty and will collide with the Bodhisattva, in fact, this is a very superstitious statement. In primitive times, people knew that menstrual blood was also blood, but they did not understand its principle, although it would bleed for several days every month, but it would not get sick, so people would think that it was particularly mysterious, and that menstrual blood was also magical.

On the one hand, blood can give people life, and people worship it very much, so the ancients used blood when they swore an oath, on the other hand, when it was war, blood was a symbol of pain, and people were particularly afraid, so when the ancients looked at blood, their hearts were very complicated, and women's blood was generally a symbol of uncleanness, and when women came to menstruate, they had to avoid incense, so it also brought a lot of taboos. <>

Later, after Buddhism was introduced to China, many people would use this realm when making incense, thinking that it was very disrespectful for a woman to put on incense during menstruation, but in fact, this was also because she did not understand Buddhism and looked at Buddhism with secular eyes. The Buddha has seen through life and death, told us some truths, and will treat the physiological correctly, will not taboo women's menstrual blood incense to the Buddha, the most important thing is sincerity. A normal phenomenon doesn't mean anything, and when we make incense, chanting sutras and reciting Buddha is a necessary homework every day, and we need to keep sticking to it, respecting the Bodhisattva, because of this small phenomenon, it is not good to give up.

Therefore, for example, women can also go to the temple to offer incense during menstruation, but they can't not fail to worship, and they must wash it when they go up the mountain, and they can't stop worshipping the Buddha because they have menstruation. When chanting the sutras can be carried out normally, if we take the dirty things in our hands, we must first wash our hands and not touch the sutras with unclean hands, because the sutras are very clean, and our most important thing is sincerity, so we do not have so many taboos when we worship the Buddha, as long as we maintain a true heart to the Bodhisattva, this is the most important thing.

OK. The arhats, bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the temple are all compassionate and want to live their lives, so they don't stick to these little things.

So, don't worry.
