What kind of incense is good for burning at home?

Yes, preferably a pure natural incense.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Medicine Buddha.

Wait. It's good to like yourself, there is no unified rule for this, but it is not appropriate to furnish too much, generally we are at home, and three Buddha statues can be offered at home.

2 Buddha statue material: It can be a paper statue, or a ceramic, or copper, gold, silver, any material can be, this is not particular, according to their own economic ability. The ceramic Avalokiteshvara I offered.

It was a leak in the flower market of the Spring Festival that year.

I bought it, and it has been for nearly 20 years, which is quite effective.

3 Location of Buddha statues: If the conditions are good and the home is spacious, you can choose a small room, which is dedicated to the Buddha hall, which is equipped with Buddha statues and worship mats to facilitate practice. If there is no extra room, you can put it in the living room or in the respectful position of the garden at home, some people are working and renting, there is no living room or special room for the Buddha statue, you can also put it in the bedroom respectful position, and you can use a red cloth to cover the Buddha statue when it is inconvenient.

4 Offerings in front of the Buddha: These are based on one's own conditions, and it is not necessary to make offerings. If conditions permit, flowers, fruits, vegetarian snacks can be offered, and some treasures can also be offered if the conditions are quite good.

We make offerings to the Buddha to show respect for the Buddha on the one hand, and on the other hand, we offer treasures to the Buddha to show that we are willing to give up our wealth in order to cut off our selfishness.

5 Water supply: Offering a glass of water to the Buddha every day is something that everyone can do. It is best to boil the water, the next day this glass of water can be drunk. The water supply also reminds us to be pure in heart and to treat all living beings equally.

6. Incense: Because the family space is relatively closed, environmental pollution should be considered when incense, so the material and quantity of incense should be considered when incense. We generally recommend that you put on a stick of incense in the morning and evening.

When applying incense, you should also pay attention to fire safety. Shangxiang has five meanings, which are expressed: abstinence incense, fixed incense, wisdom incense, liberation incense and liberation knowledge incense.

8 Uses: We can usually chant Buddha, chant sutras, worship Buddha, meditate, etc. in front of the Buddha statue, according to my experience, it is easier to practice in front of the Buddha statue.

There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

In fact, the color of the incense is not important, but the quality of the offerings to the Buddha and Bodhisattva must be good. However, the "quality" here is not really about how expensive you have to buy, but according to your actual situation, you can just put on what you think is the best incense.

Just make an offering to the Buddha with a sincere heart and offer what you think is best. Buddhas and bodhisattvas don't really covet your little offering, they just look at whether your intentions are pious or not.

If you put incense at home, it is good to use it as ordinary incense, and if you have the conditions at home, you can use purple incense.

The incense at home is particular about holding incense in the left hand when offering incense, holding incense in the hand when holding incense, and the number of incense sticks.

1. Take the incense in your left hand when offering incense.

It is best to burn incense with the left hand, but this depends on personal habits, what we need to pay attention to when burning incense is that the incense should be lit at one time, and the more prosperous the better. When burning incense, pinch the hands and raise the incense above your head. After making the incense, you can put the incense in your hand in the incense burner, and secretly recite what you want, what you think in your heart.

2. When holding incense, the hand is like an inquiry.

The index finger and middle finger of both hands are between the incense feet, and the two thumbs are against the tail end of the incense feet. The incense should be steady. Raise the incense flat to the eyebrows, level with the eyebrows, the eyes are solemn and the Buddha statue is solemn, the visualization corresponds to the Buddha, the eyes look at the nose, and the nose looks at the heart.

3. The amount of incense.

The importance of burning incense requires knowing that three burns pray for oneself, six burns pray for two generations, and nine burns pray for three generations. And thirteen is an extreme, and thirteen incense sticks are high incense with complete merits. It is to burn incense and then kowtow, which is also the highest specification, and it is generally good to worship Buddha three incense.

Precautions before incense:

Before burning incense at home, keep it clean. Generally speaking, it is not only necessary to clean the table dedicated to the shrine first, but also to keep it clean and tidy yourself. Before we burn incense, we should wash our hands, because our hands are the most likely place to be contaminated with turbidity.

And the quality of incense should also be guaranteed, you must not use chemical incense or inferior incense, such incense burning, but will bring bad luck, generally burning incense and burning natural incense is the correct method.
