Can menstruation give incense to Guanyin Buddha?

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 in Buddhism.

After it was introduced to China, many people will use this realm when making incense, thinking that it is very disrespectful for women to put on incense during menstruation, but in fact, this is also because they do not understand Buddhism and look 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.

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.

Women can worship the Buddha and burn incense when they menstruate. The more menstrual the month, the more you should pay homage to the Buddha. The saying that you can't burn incense and worship Buddha during menstruation and pregnancy is very unreasonable. If you don't have empathy, you can't look at things from the perspective of sentient beings. If you don't understand it, you don't understand it.

First of all, the arrival of the great aunt will easily affect the mood, and reciting the Buddha more will make it easier to control delusions and improve mindfulness;

Second, Buddhism stops evil and not good, and all beings are equal, and third, women have great aunts every month, and their menstrual periods are as short as two or three days, and as long as they may be six or seven days. This is a physiological phenomenon. However, the practice should be pure and continuous, and the effort should not be interrupted due to a physiological phenomenon, and this interruption may cause great losses.

Cultivation requires the spirit of dripping water through stones, dripping through stones, and the water is honestly dripping there, and it keeps dripping, so that the stones can drip through. If the practice stops for a while, it will be abandoned, and it will be very rusty to pick it up again.

Fourth, some people say that they cannot pray and chant during this period, which means that their bodies are not clean during this period due to physical problems. If it's not clean, you have to deal with it carefully, so as not to get it on the temple. Washing your hands before doing homework, holding scriptures, and offering incense is a habit that is usually cultivated.

No. There are many taboos of burning incense and worshipping the Buddha, and it is best for women not to go to the incense during their periods.

The fifth day of the first lunar month is the "birthday of the God of Wealth", and the south of our country worships the God of Wealth on this day. According to the old custom, during the Spring Festival, large and small shops are closed from the beginning of the new year, and on the fifth day of the first lunar month, every family reopens. Everyone got up when they heard the rooster's crow, set off firecrackers, hung red cloth on the banner, and drank the God of Wealth wine together.

There must be a big carp in the sacrifice, and "carp" is a homonym for "li", so the fish is called "ingotfish".

Folklore also says that the God of Wealth is the god of the five roads. The so-called five roads refer to the east, west, north, south, and middle, which means that you can get wealth by going out of the five roads. Where to receive the God of Wealth must be offered to the sheep's head and carp, for the sheep's head has the meaning of "auspicious", for the carp is the figure "fish" and "Yu" homonym, ask for an auspicious.

Therefore, every Chinese New Year, people open the doors and windows, light incense, set off firecrackers, and light fireworks at 0:00 on the fifth day of the first month of the first month to welcome the God of Wealth.
