There are four aspects to the meaning of burning incense:
1. To show sincere and respectful offerings to the Three Jewels, and to demonstrate and guide sentient beings.
2. It means transmitting information to the void Dharma Realm and gaining blessings from the Three Treasures in all directions.
3. It means burning oneself to spread fragrance to all directions, reminding Buddhist disciples to make selfless contributions.
4. It means that the Buddhists' precepts, concentration and true incense have been lit, which contains the silent vow to "diligently cultivate precepts, concentration and wisdom, and extinguish greed, noise and ignorance". The Buddha does not like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts, concentration, truth and incense of his disciples.

How to burn incense and worship Buddha correctly?

1. Clothing must be modest, never too revealing or strange, and it is not appropriate to wear slippers or a hat into a temple. These are basic respects for the gods.
2. Avoid loud noises. Although each temple worships different gods, they all hope to purify people's hearts, so your words and actions must be gentle.
3. Prepare 3-5 offerings such as seasonal fruits and biscuits, but they must be odd numbers (because odd numbers are yang numbers). You can also prepare incense, gold paper, etc., depending on the regulations of each temple.
