Can I burn incense at night?

Question 1: Can't you burn incense at night? That's right. According to Buddhist scriptures, it is time for heaven and man to eat in the morning, for people to eat at noon and for ghosts to eat at night. Unlike us, supernatural beings have no entity. Burning incense smoke is one of their foods. Even Tantric Buddhism has a special method of burning offerings, that is, burning things at night to support supernatural beings, so there is a folk saying that burning incense at night attracts ghosts. But you can burn incense in the Buddhist temple at night, because there are buddhas and bodhisattvas to bless you.

Question 2: Can I burn incense at night? Yes, there is no specific time. But it is not clear whether Taoism is a folk belief or other religions. Please consult your religion for details.

I will give you some information about Buddhism:

The method of perfuming Jing Zong is as follows:

1, clean hands, take incense (three pillars or one pillar) and light it. There are two hands with incense between the index finger and the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger overlap, and the thumb is at the tail of the incense. As for the chest, the incense head is flat against the Buddha statue.

2. Lift incense to Qi Mei.

3. Then fall down. If it is a three-column incense, divide the incense with your left hand. The first column is inserted in the middle of the incense burner, while meditating "offering Buddha", the second column is inserted on the right, while meditating "offering dharma", and the third column is inserted on the left, while meditating "offering monk".

Three incense sticks should be in a straight line, with equal height and equal distance. If it is a column incense, insert the incense into the middle of the incense burner with your left hand and say "Supporting Three Treasures" silently. After the incense was finished, he folded his hands and said to himself, "May this fragrant flower cloud go straight to the Three Treasures, and pray for great mercy and universal compassion."

If it is a circle of incense, it is like holding a long incense and lighting it with both hands to the Buddha. Meditate on "Supporting Three Treasures" when holding incense. "May this fragrant flower cloud reach the Three Treasures, implore mercy and give joy to all beings". And put it in an incense burner.

If you put incense sticks, twist the ends of the incense sticks with your index finger and thumb, lift the other three fingers to Mei Qi, and then put one hand into the incense burner. The first incense is twisted with the left hand and received and delivered with the right hand. The second incense is twisted with the right hand and delivered with the left hand. The third one is the same as the first one, and the meditation is the same as before.

After burning incense, the Buddha can worship three times before leaving.

Question 3: Can I burn incense at night? You can burn incense quietly at night. Actually, it's not the number of times you burn incense. Usually once in the morning and once in the evening, you don't need to pay attention to the exact time. Any day is fine. The rest of the time is whatever you like and convenient. The reason why many people burn incense on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is related to folk customs. Buddhism stipulates that Buddhists fast, recite scriptures and respect Buddha on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which is actually equivalent to Sunday, and then spread among the people.

The meaning of Buddhist shakily:

First, show reverence and respect for the three treasures, so as to demonstrate and attract all beings.

The second is to send a message to the void dharma circle to understand the ten treasures blessing.

Third, it means burning oneself, spreading incense and reminding Buddhist disciples of selfless dedication.

Fourth, it means that Buddhist precepts are really fragrant, which means "practice precepts diligently, be calm, and eliminate greed and ignorance". Buddha doesn't like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts and commandments of Buddha disciples, which are really fragrant.

In addition, it should be noted that:

When you give incense to the Buddha, you should be pure-hearted and blessed to be spotless. If you want to make a wish, when you give up the idea of selfishness and harming others and make a big wish to benefit the society and all beings, you will have infinite merits. The Buddhist scriptures say: "Worship the Buddha and destroy the river sand; It is also true that the blessing will increase infinitely when chanting Buddha.

It is advisable to incense three sticks at a time. This means that "abstinence, determination and wisdom" cannot be missed; It also means to support Buddhism, Buddhism and monks to live in the three treasures. This is the most complete and civilized incense offering. There is not much fragrance, but the heart is in my heart. The so-called "burn three points of civilized incense and respect a sincere heart."

The Buddhist scripture says, "All offerings come first." The so-called Buddhist support is the teachings in Buddhist scriptures, such as the principles of Buddhism being recited, self-transformation, and speaking to people. That is, in daily life, in dealing with people and things: "If you don't do evil, all good will be pursued."

Question 4: Can I burn incense at night? No, incense is not burned on cloudy days. You burn incense once a day, and you know it. Don't burn incense if you are not busy or want something.

Question 5: When is the best time to burn incense? Can I burn incense at night? You can burn incense anytime! . . .

Question 6: Is it okay to worship Buddha and burn incense before ten o'clock in the evening? There is no time limit. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas don't need to punch in and out like us.

Question 7: Can I burn incense at night? 1. My friend's sister offered a Buddha and Bodhisattva. Her sister only burns incense in the morning and never burns incense at night. The reason is that ghosts will be attracted at night. I don't believe it. I want to hear what you mean. I hope the master can elaborate. Although I am a layman, I have many unknowns because I am young. Please give me more advice. There is no amitabha in the south. There is no Guanyin Bodhisattva in South China! Master Yi Ming replied: 1, we only said that we burn incense early every day and sweep the floor frequently every day. 2. Please read my diary "Tears of Shurangama Sutra". 3, no

Question 8: Buddhism says that you don't eat after noon, so can you burn incense and worship Buddha at night? Brother, this is why you don't fully understand the meaning of shakily. It doesn't matter if you don't eat after noon.

Incense does not lie in times, nor does it emphasize time. Usually once in the morning and once in the evening, and the rest of the time depends on your own wishes and convenience. The key is to understand the true meaning of shakily:

First, show reverence and respect for the three treasures, so as to demonstrate and attract all beings.

The second is to send a message to the void dharma circle to understand the ten treasures blessing.

Third, it means burning incense in ten ways to remind Buddhist disciples of their selfless dedication.

Fourth, it means that Buddhist precepts are really fragrant, which means "practice precepts diligently, be calm, and eliminate greed and ignorance". Buddha doesn't like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts and commandments of Buddha disciples, which are really fragrant.

Question 9: After what time in the evening, you can't give incense to the Bodhisattva. Foshan is far-reaching, and the Buddha says that Buddha's light keeps people away from dust. . . Buddha jumped out of the three realms, not in the five elements. Only spiritual heritage!

People need inner cultivation to show their light and connect.

Fa! The only way.

Vientiane comes from law!

He doesn't need anything on earth anymore!

Question 10: Is it the same day to burn incense after 12 in the evening? Honey, you can burn incense anytime and anywhere. You don't have to burn incense in the temple. You just don't know the meaning of incense when you ask. Let me give you a brief explanation:

Incense is similar to "dial-up internet" before we are ready to browse the web. Incense means believing in incense, which is a signal used to communicate with buddhas, bodhisattvas, immortals, ghosts and ancestors. In ancient China, when information was underdeveloped, we used bonfires to deliver messages (that's a big fragrance! ? ), that means believing in incense, but in Buddhism, the real meaning is "abstinence and true incense" (representing the three levels of "abstinence and wisdom" in learning Buddhism, also called "five-body incense" (namely abstinence, immobility, wisdom and incense). When a Buddhist disciple sees the smoke and smells the incense, he should think of practicing abstinence from incense.

Therefore, no matter who you give incense to, you don't need to pay attention to time, and you don't need to pay attention to a few incense (but Buddha disciples will take three incense as the basic standard). You can grasp two points: first, respect and sincerity, which means "sincerity is the spirit"; The second is to call the name of the Buddha and Bodhisattva God you worship (you can think about it in your mind). When worshipping Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is called "Nanwu (pronounced" Nanwu ") Guanyin Bodhisattva" or "Nanwu Compassion". Worshiping Buddha is called "Sakyamuni Buddha without a teacher in the south"; Just worship the Jade Emperor and call him "Nan Jade Emperor" or something.

In addition, the reason why we burn incense on the fifteenth day of the first month is that we can not only support buddhas and bodhisattvas, but also support six sentient beings at the same time. Among them, there is a kind of ghost beings who specialize in eating incense, but their time and space flow rate is slower than ours. A Ghost Festival is equivalent to a month on earth, so we burn incense on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, that is, to provide for their lunch and dinner, so the merits of burning incense in these two days are particularly great. In fact, only the Buddha in your heart can burn incense anytime and anywhere.
