How to deal with incense ashes

First of all, the incense burner should not be too full of ashes and incense. Pour the incense ashes into a clean container, preferably a box or a clean bag. After packaging, it should be sealed to ensure that the incense ashes inside will not spill out. When the bag is finished, the best way is to give it to the temple and ask the monk for help.

It is also selfish and altruistic to recite "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south" sincerely and then put incense ashes in the big incense burner of the temple to continue to offer sacrifices to the Buddha and accumulate virtue. In addition, incense ashes can also be buried in clean soil. As the saying goes, "dust to dust, soil to soil". Burying them underground to support the prosperity and growth of all things is also planting good karma for yourself, and there will be good results in the future.

Of course, you can also choose to sprinkle incense ashes in running water and let them drift with the flow. Anyway, our hearts must be clean. People who understand Buddhism know very well that learning Buddhism cannot be persistent, but must be accompanied by good karma. Insist on doing anything, there will be a sense of separation, there will be right and wrong, and troubles will follow. This is not our original intention of learning Buddhism, nor is it the result we want.
