Why do I particularly like the smell of incense at the temple?

You especially like the smell of incense in the temple, probably for the following reasons:

The incense used in the temple is called sandalwood, and the sandalwood fragrance is fresh and long, refreshing and refreshing. It smells really pleasant.

in the subconscious. When you smell the incense of the temple, you will feel clean. There is a feeling of detachment without staining. It's like going to the hospital, and when you ask about the smell of medicine in the hospital, you feel inexplicably nervous and uneasy, and you are afraid of taking injections and medicine.

Let's talk about it a little more, maybe you have a relationship with the Buddha. I especially like the smell of incense, maybe it's just a superficial phenomenon, maybe deep down, you prefer to stay in the temple, like the people, things, sounds, etc. Or maybe it's just that I fell in love with the Dharma.

I especially like the smell of incense in the temple, because this smell of incense is a smell that you have been closely associated with some of your relatives since you were a child, and it will make you think back to some things in the past.

Because generally temples are very quiet, and then you like this, it means that you are more destined for this kind of place, and you are more fated to Buddha, you can go to this kind of place and enjoy this kind of thing, maybe you are also a more faithful person.

There is a fairy fate. If there is a temple burning incense, or there is a smell of incense, they will inhale and want to smell more of it.

Because you have your own preferences, there is nothing special about the smell of incense in the temple, and the smell of incense in the temple makes people feel a sense of stability and calm, and I believe many people like it.

Because the smell of incense is particularly good, the small fire is generally the incense of the kind of fragrance that is burned, so it smells particularly good.

Everyone's fetishes are different, and some people just like the taste of rotten duck eggs. It seems that you also like the smell of incense.

Everyone's favorite smell is different, and this is the one you like.

I can only say that something will happen, but I don't know what it is. Because I have experienced this before, but bad things have happened.

The altar temple building is the building of the ancestor of the sun and the moon and the mountains and rivers in China, including the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Moon, the Temple of Literature (such as the Temple of Confucius), the Temple of Wu (such as the Temple of Guandi), the Temple of Taishan Daiyue, the Temple of Songshan Songyue, the Temple of Taimiao (the Emperor's Ancestral Temple), and the temple of the shrine (land) and the temple of the god of agriculture (the god of agriculture) in various places, all of which fully embody the characteristics of the traditional Chinese national culture.

Altar and temple architecture: The layout of the altar and temple building is consistent with the original structure of the palace building, but the building system is slightly simplified, and the color cannot be more golden yellow.

The architectural principles and layout of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are also the same as those of palace buildings, but they are smaller in scale and have their own religious colors in decoration and interior furnishings.

There are symmetrical bell towers and drum towers in temples and temples; The Buddhist temple also built a stupa before the Buddha hall to worship the Buddha relics, which is transliterated as "floating slaughter". Chinese craftsmen used the framing technology of Han-style pavilion architecture to build a pagoda style, called Han-style pagoda, with wooden towers, stone towers, brick towers, iron towers, etc.

This is called "seeing the Buddha at the root of the nose", and this phenomenon does occur when the practice reaches a certain level.

The characteristics of this phenomenon are:

You must have a pure mind, and as long as your heart is untouched, you will not be able to smell it.

There are many times when I am walking on the street and suddenly I smell a strange fragrance, so I think: Why is it so fragrant?

As soon as the heart moves, it immediately can't smell.

If your heart is moved and you can continue to smell it, then it is definitely not the root of your nose to see the Buddha.

I've had this before, my little room doesn't have anything, just a small Buddha statue, and I never burn incense. But I did smell the smell of burning incense, and I was surrounded by my colleagues, all of whom were relatively young, and no one burned incense.

The initiate has already said very well, it should be like that. I'll just add a few more thoughts: first, no matter what you encounter, don't make a fuss, this is also the time to test your concentration; Second, it's better not to say this kind of thing, because the vast majority of people don't believe it, and when they hear about such a thing, they become suspicious, or even mocking, and those who are originally interested in Buddhism may hesitate when they suddenly hear about these "outrageous" things.

It's really hard to say, I also like the smell of incense in the temple, and I often burn some sandalwood at home, in a sense, it should be said that there is a Buddha fate.

The incense in the temple is sandalwood or incense. Sandalwood is made by processing and forming fine sawdust from sandalwood with adhesives, and then drying it. Incense sticks are composed of aggregates, binders, spices, pigments and auxiliary materials.

There is a wide range of wood powders and added spices and agents used to make incense, and different incense has different raw materials. For example, wood can be made from the wood or bark of trees such as agarwood, sandalwood, and cedar, and can also be made from the stems and leaves of some scented plants.

The three major incense in the world: as a golden bridge that connects the wisdom of the heavens, the incense materials offered to the Buddha are naturally stipulated.

Since Zhang Qian opened up the Silk Road and Zheng He went to the West seven times, the types and quantities of spices flowing into China have increased day by day, and they can be divided into two categories according to the incense materials: combined incense and single product incense. However, the developed technology and industrial means have given spices another major classification - chemical fragrance.

The incense in the temple is mainly sandalwood, but it can also be other incense. Burning incense in temples is a way of offering sacrifices, praying, and is a form of faith and sustenance. However, the amount of incense burned represents different meanings, and there are many rules when burning incense, such as the need to clean hands, incense should not be called "buying incense", but should be called "asking for incense", and ordinary people should use their left hand to worship incense.

The temple uses hail and incense.

Incense is an indispensable thing in the practice, the Buddhist scriptures use "incense solemnity" to metaphorize the role of chanting Buddha Samadhi, with the mother and child reminiscing and the fragrance dyed in the human body metaphor of chanting the Buddha correspondingly, such as the Buddha who recites the merits of the Buddha, full of body and mind. In the pure land where the bodhisattvas have made their vows, the wonderful incense wind blows at the source as you want, and the heavens in the realm of desire often touch the body with a soft fragrant wind.

There are also some precautions for burning incense. Before worshipping the Buddha, you need to clean (wash) your hands, and the lack of cracked incense should not be called "buying" but "please". Ordinary people should hold incense with their left hand, pray for themselves with three sticks, pray for two generations with six sticks, pray for three generations with nine sticks, and thirteen sticks of incense are high incense with complete merits.

There are many varieties of incense, which can be divided into agarwood, sandalwood, and perfume incense in terms of taste and materials; In terms of shape and use, it can be divided into bamboo incense, pan incense, lying incense, incense cone, smokeless incense, micro-smoke incense, etc. The fragrant wood powder we often use is: agarwood, lavender, white sandalwood, green wood, cloves, etc.

Most people go to the temple to ask for a future, money, marriage, and children. Therefore, the God of Wealth, the Goddess of Mercy, and the incense of the Lord of the Land have always been relatively large.

Speaking of the God of Wealth, I believe everyone likes it very much. And many people also invite the God of Wealth home to make offerings, and burn incense every day. The God of Wealth has always been one of China's most beloved immortals, after all, who would have trouble with money.

Many people who are doing business or are starting a business will often go to worship our God of Wealth, so the incense of God of Wealth has always been very much.

There is also the land lord that everyone is very familiar with, basically everywhere. The status of the land lord in the Taoist god system is relatively low, but it is extremely common in folk beliefs, and it is the local protector god in folk beliefs, which is popular all over the country. In China's "world of gods and ghosts", the land god is one of the last "sesame officials" among the gods, but it has a large family.

In the old days, on the land of China, you can see small land temples built of stone and wood almost everywhere, which enshrine the land lord and the land wife, and the incense is quite prosperous.

There is also a lot of incense in the temple, that is, sending the son Guanyin. In the countryside, or in the city, many people who can't give birth to babies will religiously worship our son sending the letter in the letter. Although it is said to be superstition, but there is faith, and there is no belief in it, and sometimes the goddess of mercy is really manifested.

Burning incense to the gods is an expectation of happiness in short.
