Can pregnant women go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings?

OK. This question is similar to my previous question, "Can I go into the temple to worship the Buddha during my menstrual period?" The Buddha is exactly the same, so I was lazy and directly pasted and copied:

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.

AmitabhaYou can go to the temple of the Buddha and BodhisattvaAs long as their body allows, pregnant women and women who come to menstruation can go to the temple to burn incense, worship the Buddha, and chant sutras.

However, you need to dress solemnly and neatly, wash your hands cleanly, obey the rules of the temple, behave in accordance with the law, do not interfere with others, and pay attention to your own health and safety.

Respectfully and sincerely chant the Buddha, worship the Buddha, burn incense, chant the scriptures, and the more the merrier.

A point of sincerity gets a point of benefit, and a point of sincerity gets a lot of benefit.

When pregnant, you should pay attention to the smell of burning incense and the Buddha worship movement, etc., and ask your doctor about the effect of incense on your child. You can also recite the "Jizo Sutra" and the holy name of Jizo Bodhisattva for your child respectfully and sincerely at home.

The old master was --- pregnant, and when he gave birth, he read the "Jizo Bodhisattva Honwish Sutra" and recited the name of Jizo Bodhisattva. If a child is born and has created sinful karma in a past life, he will receive retribution in this life, and because of the merit of reading the sutra and reciting the name of the Bodhisattva, the sinful karma will be eliminated. This really removes the karma for the baby, and it is easy to eliminate it at this time.

Absolutely. The Buddha faces all sentient beings, all sentient beings are destined, all sent beings are equal, and all sentient beings are Bodhi. From a religious point of view, pregnant women going to the temple to worship the Buddha are also beneficial to the child in the womb, so that the child is stained with Buddha nature.

Pregnant women can go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, which is good for the child and the pregnant woman, if there is a woman, set up a man, worship and make offerings to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then give birth to a man of good fortune and wisdom; If you want to ask for a woman, you will give birth to a daughter who is upright and good-looking, and she will be loved and respected by everyone.

It mainly depends on whether the pregnant woman is convenient to move, the month is short, the action is convenient, you can go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Bodhisattva. If the month is old and you have limited mobility, you should not go.

Yes, but be careful when going to the temple to burn incense:

1. Dress modestly, never too revealing or fancy dress, and should not wear slippers or hats into the temple, these are the basic respect for the gods.

2. Avoid loud noise, although each temple enshrines different gods, but they all hope to purify people's hearts, so speech and behavior must be gentle.

3. Prepare 3-5 kinds of offerings such as fruits and biscuits in the season, but they must be singular (because the singular number is a yang number); In addition, you can also prepare incense, gold paper, etc., depending on the regulations of each temple.

Special attention: 1. After attending the funeral or farewell ceremony, you can go to the temple on the same day to remove the filth on your body.

2. Those who have third-class relatives and other deceased relatives must go to the temple after 49 days before they can visit the temple, otherwise Dai Xiao will easily pretend to be taboo when he enters the temple.

3. The mother must finish the confinement before she can go to worship.

4. It is best not to worship during women's menstruation.

Yes, burn incense to worship the Buddha and pray for the safety of mother and child, this is a traditional cultural practice in our country for thousands of years, and many people will do this.
