    Burning incense is not about the color, you can use the best incense to worship the Buddha and worship the incense. Incense has two meanings, one is to offer incense to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and the other is to invite the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to bless us with incense.

    Why do you want to make offerings to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with incense? Because incense can dissolve filth and flow fragrance, it makes people happy to smell it. There are many types of incense, but the "heart incense" is the most precious, "the heart incense is a petal of the Dharma King, and the merit is endless and difficult to measure."

    With the incense of abstinence, the incense of concentration, the incense of wisdom, the incense of liberation, the incense of liberation and the incense of supreme bodhichitta.

    Walking with the Bodhisattvas to make offerings to the immeasurable Buddhas of the Ten Directions is the highest and most definitive offering.

    Why can incense be invited to the Buddhas? It is recorded in the "Zenghan Sutra": "The Buddha said: incense is the Buddha's envoy, so it is necessary to burn incense all over the ten directions." "There is a story in the Sutra of Wisdom and Foolishness: An elder made an offering to the Buddha.

    At night, he climbed the tall building, held the incense burner, and burned incense to the Xuan Huan Monastery to show his sincerity. At noon the next day, the Buddha came. Recite "Praise of the Incense Burner" before chanting:

    The incense burns at a glance, the Dharma realm is smoked, the sea of Buddhas will be heard from afar, auspicious clouds are formed everywhere, sincerity is good, and the Buddhas appear all over the body. "That is, we are respectfully asking all the Buddhas of the Ten Directions and the Third World to bless us.

    The number of incense sticks varies, but it can be one or three columns. When offering incense, raise the incense between the eyebrows to show respect. When ascending the three pillars of incense, one should recite and visualize "offering to all the Buddhas of the Ten Directions and the Third World", "offering to all the Dharma of the Ten Directions and the Third World", "offering to all the monks of the Ten Directions and the Third World", and then put your palms together and recite "Offering to my parents and teachers, to all sentient beings in the Ten Dharma Realms, and to my creditors of grievances."

    You can also pray, make a vow, and dedicate.

    One and three are fine. But it's really best to understand the meaning of burning incense. 1. General smoking, regardless of high or low, you can get the fragrance of smoking.

    Just like the Dharma, all sentient beings can have Buddha nature and become Buddhas. 2. Often, incense will make the smoked person also dye the fragrance on his own body. Those who are always in contact with the Dharma will get closer and closer to the Buddha.

    3. Draw out the fragrance of your heart. Make offerings to all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and sentient beings with your own heart incense. Those who have been practicing the Dharma can trigger their own Buddha-nature and eventually become a Buddha.

    OK. It doesn't matter what color it is. These are just formalities and don't matter. It's the heart that matters! Respect, sincerity and sincerity are the most important, and the so-called "sincerity is spirituality" is what it means.

    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.
