Can I go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha when I have my period?

Come to the great aunt and go to the incense.

During the menstrual period, prayer can be reduced and the recitation of Buddha sutras should be carried out as usual. Menstrual cloths should be changed frequently (cloths were used in ancient times, sanitary napkins are used today), and hands should be washed immediately if they are in direct contact with menstrual cloths (sanitary napkins); Do not use hands that have been in direct contact with menstrual cloths (sanitary napkins) to read scriptures and burn incense. Buddhism is originally harmonious and unhindered, and only then will the outer way cling to rigid principles.

Many people in society only believe in foreign teachings and do not understand the correct teachings of the Dharma, resulting in many Buddhists not being able to obtain the benefits of the Dharma.

It is best not to burn incense when you go to the temple during menstruation. Because it would be considered disrespectful to the gods. But in fact, it is also a statement in the past, and there is no official explanation. If you have a faith, it is better not to touch the incense, but if you don't care about this kind of thing, you can.

Women have menstruation every month, and menstruation can be as short as two or three days, and as long as it may be six or seven days. This is a physiological phenomenon of women. But what about practice?

Those who practice the Dharma should have pure thoughts one after another, and they should not stop their efforts without stopping, and you can't stop your practice because of such a physiological phenomenon, and you will be interrupted, and this interruption may cause a lot of losses.

Cultivation requires a spirit of dripping water through stones, dripping water through stones, your water is honest in that drop, in that drop, it can drip through this stone. Cultivation is the most afraid of being exposed to the cold, she stopped practicing for a while, and after stopping, it was deserted, and she was very rusty when she picked it up again. Therefore, it must be uninterrupted and long-term, so it cannot be interrupted casually.

The benefits of the Dharma should be sought from respect, and if there is a point of respect, a point of sinful karma will be eliminated, and a point of blessing and wisdom will be obtained; If you are very respectful, you will eliminate 10 points of sinful karma and increase 10 points of blessing. If there is no respect at all, although there is a distant cause, the sin of blasphemy is unimaginable.

There is nothing wrong with worshipping Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

It should be possible for me to be.

During menstruation, you can go to the temple to offer incense.

Folk rumors believe that women's menstrual blood will collide with ghosts and gods, making them angry when they see blood, and if they go to the temple to worship the Buddha during their menstrual period, they will "offend" the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and be disrespectful to them.

In fact, these are all superstitions, and Buddhism does not have such a saying at all. Menstrual period is the normal physiological condition of women, not to mention lay believers, there will also be many female monks and nuns in monasteries, they are monks and nuns, do they have to stop practicing because of the so-called taboo of menstrual period? Obviously unreasonable.

As long as you have the intention of burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, and take care of yourself neatly and tidy, you can rest assured that you will worship the Buddha, and the merits and blessings will be immeasurable.

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.

During women's menstrual period, Buddhism allows them to go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha, and all Buddhist practice activities are not affected. Just pay attention to personal hygiene.

Yes, just pray with a sincere and respectful heart.

A high-ranking monk once gave a lecture on this question, which means that under the premise of maintaining hygiene, it is possible to go to a regular monastery. Because of the compassion of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, it is not excluded that such people will pray for blessings.

But some small temples, or some informal Buddhist and Taoist palaces, don't mess around. Maybe some gods and ghosts, who have a heavier level of ignorance, will get angry because of this, but they are not beautiful.

Since you believe in Buddhism, you have to know some taboos of worshipping Buddha, women can't worship Buddha when they menstruate, women who menstruate in front of the Buddha are not clean, Buddha needs six pure people, if you need to worship and wait until your menstruation is clean, go and pray sincerely.

Anyone can burn incense and worship the Buddha at any time (as long as they are safe).

Go to worship the Buddha and Bodhisattva, you can do it at any time.

Temples in the world, immortal temples, etc. are not allowed.

It is best to rest at home and take care of your body.

In Buddhism, women's menstruation is regarded as a natural phenomenon of birth and revocation, and it is possible to go to the temple to worship the Buddha. However, in some Buddhist traditions, women avoid some temple activities during menstruation, as temples are sacred places in Buddhism and need to be kept clean. Therefore, it is best to understand the rules and traditions of the local temple first, so as to avoid the embarrassment and offense of not having to break up the grand essentials.
