The process of burning incense in qixia temple.

Most people always like to stand in front of the Buddha, which is actually wrong. Because the rule in the jungle (temple) is that only the abbot and picket can worship in the middle. Others should stand on the left and right. -Wash your hands and burn incense (or incense) before worshipping Buddha. -Incense method-① After the incense is lit, ② hold the incense stick with the middle finger and forefinger of both hands, with the thumb against the incense tail, ③ put it on your chest, with the incense head facing the icon of Bodhisattva, ④ lift the incense plum again, ⑤ put it down, and as the third action, ⑤ start to insert it with your left hand. The first incense was inserted in the middle, and when it was inserted, it silently said, "Support the three generations of three treasures of ten parties." The second incense was inserted on the right, and when it was inserted, it silently said, "Support parents and teachers." (Note: The method of burning incense in this article was written by a layman, so it is different from the observation and meditation of monks. But if monks are individuals who worship incense and worship Buddha, they can use this method together. ) The third incense is inserted on the left, and when it is inserted, it is silently said: "I support all sentient beings in the ten dharma circles, and I am unjust." The second way to insert incense is to turn right first and say, "swear to break all evil." On the second left, it says, "Swear to do all good things." Later I read: "swear to all beings." -The third method is the simplest, the same as the first method, but easier to read. The first incense was inserted in the middle, and it said, "Provide for the Buddha." The second incense is inserted on the right, and it says, "The law of support." The third incense was inserted on the left, and it said, "Provide for monks." Summary is simple. -After putting in the incense, he folded his hands and said to himself, "May this incense cloud go straight into the Three Treasures (or read" Go straight into the Buddhas ") and seek great mercy and give joy to all beings." -If it is a circle of incense, show it to the Buddha where it is lit, and hold it in both hands like a long incense. When holding incense, you just have to say, "feed ten sides and three generations." May this fragrant cloud reach three treasures, implore great compassion and give joy to all beings. "Yes. -When putting sandalwood (i.e. twigs split by sandalwood), hold both ends of the incense with your thumb and forefinger, open and straighten your middle finger, ring finger and little finger, hold Qi Mei high, and put it in the incense burner before and after; The first sandalwood is picked up with the left hand and sent in with the right hand; Pick up the second branch with your right hand and send it in with your left hand; The third one is the same as the first one. The method of meditation should be the same as when burning incense. -How to worship Buddha. Buddha worship should follow the Buddhist system, which is different from the customary system. The details of the worship are as follows: -( 1) Stand in front of the futon, with your hands (fingers together) palms (obliquely upward) as breasts, your feet in a figure of eight, with the distance between the left and right heels about two inches and the distance between your toes about eight inches; -(2) press the right palm down in the center of the futon, keep the left palm still, spread your knees and kneel on the futon -(3) put the left palm in front of the futon; -(4) Move the right palm from the center to the right in front of the futon, with the palms separated by six inches; -(5) press your head on the futon between your palms; ——(6) Turn the palms outward (palms up, meaning to hold the Buddha's feet with both hands and greet the ceremony with head and face); -(7) Two fingers are reversed, and the futon is still pressed in its original place; -(8) Lift your head from the futon; -(9) Move the palm of the right hand to the center of the futon; -——( 10/0) Leave the futon with the palm of your left hand and put it on your chest like your hands crossed; -(11) Hold your right palm up (both knees leave the futon at the same time), and fold your left palm into your chest. This is a worship, at least three worships, and most of them are the superposition of three numbers, such as six worships, nine worships and twelve worships. After the worship, there is a ceremony, such as secular bow, called inquiry. Just after the worship, when the hands are folded into the chest, the folded palms are placed slightly downward (when bowing) on the abdomen. After that, put the palm of your right hand in the left palm, fold it into a fist shape, slowly lift it to eyebrow level (when it is straight) from bottom to top, then slowly put down your palms and put them together to form your chest. The palm is up, and the right hand is closed to your left hand first, and the two thumbs are connected, which is the Samadhi Seal (Tomi Seal means that your left hand is closed to the right, which is the same as Samadhi Seal). This is to worship Buddha, and then the head is slightly lower and the hand is spread out. -
