Can a pregnant person go to a temple to burn incense

It is better for pregnant people not to go to the temple to burn incense. Because Buddhism is a pure place, I can't say the specifics. Let's say someone who is pregnant. Can't go to the wedding. It's the same thing that you can't attend a funeral.

OK. This question is similar to my previous question, "Can I go into the temple to worship the Buddha during my menstrual period?" The Buddha is exactly the same, so I was lazy and directly pasted and copied:

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.

If you are pregnant, you can go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, not only can you go, but it is very good for pregnant women and children. Female believers at home, during their menstrual period or pregnancy, do not dare to enter the monastery to worship, or even dare to go to the Buddha to offer incense, chant sutras, meditate, and chant Buddha, in fact, this is a taboo for low-level ghosts and gods, and it is not a Buddhist statement. The question is this, like a sun, can it bring dark clouds?

It doesn't bring dark clouds.

Worship the Buddha at any time! OK.

Amitabha.

No, it is recommended to take care of the fetus;

You can dedicate yourself to the merits of releasing more lives and ask the Bodhisattva to help you give a good child.

There is no limit to the number of recitations of Pumen products and Heart Sutras (or transcriptions) every day, and the more the merrier, the blessings are dedicated.

Dedication text: Ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for the mercy and blessing of (the name of the birth on the year, month and day --- the birthday of the lunar calendar) a blessed and wise man (or a beautiful and dignified daughter) in the future, and the child will be healthy and happy, and may the child be happy and easy to raise. Ask Guanyin to bless smooth delivery and don't react too strongly during pregnancy. Three times.

It can be voluntary.

The wish is to burn a lot of incense, just make a lot of offerings, generally fruits, dried fruits, bottled water.

Burn incense, kowtow, explain your intentions, thank you, etc

If it is easier for a pregnant woman to move around, it is possible to go to the temple, and these decisions should be made according to the individual's situation, but it is best to have the company of the family by her side.

Pregnant people are not allowed to go to the temple, in fact, it has been handed down from ancient times, because most of the temples are built on the mountain, and there are many steps, and when pregnant women go up the steps, because too many times of leg lifting exercise will lead to some accidents, so there is a certain reason.

Precautions for pregnant women:

1. Sleeping position. Supplement adequate sleep and do not stay up late often to avoid affecting the development of the fetus.

1. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the sleeping position can be arbitrary at this time.

2. In the second trimester of pregnancy, attention should be paid to protecting the abdomen and avoiding the direct action of external force.

3. If the expectant mother has polyhydramnios or twin pregnancies, she should sleep in the lateral position.

2. Diet. During this period, it is necessary to take into account high nutrition and low fat to protect both mother and baby during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

3. Skin care products.

Choose products with five characteristics: naturalness, safety, professionalism, effectiveness, and foundation. It is not harmful to the fetus and pregnant women, and can effectively improve skin problems during pregnancy and childbirth.

Yes, but be careful when going to the temple to burn incense:

1. Dress modestly, never too revealing or fancy dress, and should not wear slippers or hats into the temple, these are the basic respect for the gods.

2. Avoid loud noise, although each temple enshrines different gods, but they all hope to purify people's hearts, so speech and behavior must be gentle.

3. Prepare 3-5 kinds of offerings such as fruits and biscuits in the season, but they must be singular (because the singular number is a yang number); In addition, you can also prepare incense, gold paper, etc., depending on the regulations of each temple.

Special attention: 1. After attending the funeral or farewell ceremony, you can go to the temple on the same day to remove the filth on your body.

2. Those who have third-class relatives and other deceased relatives must go to the temple after 49 days before they can visit the temple, otherwise Dai Xiao will easily pretend to be taboo when he enters the temple.

3. The mother must finish the confinement before she can go to worship.

4. It is best not to worship during women's menstruation.

Yes, burn incense to worship the Buddha and pray for the safety of mother and child, this is a traditional cultural practice in our country for thousands of years, and many people will do this.

Pregnant women are advised not to go to the temple to burn incense.

This is mainly due to the fact that the incense burned in the incense is generally made of wood and chemical flavors. The gas released by these substances after combustion, is not conducive to the health of pregnant women and fetal car, Indian incense, sandalwood, especially harmful to human health, pregnant women smell for a long time will also lead to miscarriage, and there are many people in the temple The air is not fresh, which is not conducive to the health of mothers and children, if you really want to go, it is recommended that pregnant women choose to go when there are fewer people, and try to stay away from the smoke of incense, do not be too tired.

Pregnant women are pregnant women, an identity of human society, and they share common psychological and physiological characteristics, as well as consumption needs. Pregnancy is a special physiological period that needs to be strengthened because all the nutrients needed for fetal growth and development come from the mother, and pregnant women themselves need to store nutrients for childbirth and milk secretion, and there are more and more pregnant women with overnutrition.
