So is it okay to burn incense and worship Buddha on Christmas? What should we pay attention to when burning incense?Is it okay to burn incense and worship Buddha on Christmas?From the perspective of festivals, we Chinese people burn incense and worship Buddha basically on the birthday of Bodhisattva or the birthday of some people who have great merits for us or on auspicious days. Even if we are not very particular, we will go to the temple on the first and fifteenth of every month . As for Christmas, after all, it is a Western holiday, a day to commemorate Jesus in the West, and has nothing to do with our Chinese nation, so it is better not to burn incense and worship Buddha on Christmas.From the perspective of the lunar calendar, Christmas 2020 is on December 25th in the Gregorian calendar. In the lunar calendar, it is a day for death and not for important events. It is not suitable to burn incense and worship Buddha on such a day. Therefore, no matter from which perspective, it is always not good to burn incense and worship Buddha on Christmas, so it is not recommended that you burn incense and worship Buddha on Christmas. What should we pay attention to when burning incense?1. Clothing must be modest, never too revealing or strange. It is also 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. Fruits suitable for burning incense and worshiping: apples, peaches, plums, dates, grapefruits, pomeloes, oranges, etc. Fruits that cannot be burned with incense for worship: tomatoes, guavas, sugar apples, and durian. Special attention: 1. After attending a funeral or farewell ceremony, you can go to the temple on the same day to remove the bad energy from your body. 2. If you have a third-degree relative who has passed away, you must wait 49 days before visiting the temple to worship. Otherwise, entering the temple in mourning clothes may easily violate taboos. 3. A woman who has just given birth must complete her confinement period before she can go to pay respects. 4. It is best for women not to worship during their menstrual period. |
