As long as the heart dedicated to incense is correct.
First, incense is the messenger of Buddha.
Xiang is called Jianda in Sanskrit. In ancient Indian legend, there was a fragrant god, namely "Ganpo", who did not eat wine and meat, but only sought incense for food, in order to cultivate the Yin body and emit fragrance from it. It was called Xiang Shen in ancient times. Later, it was cited as one of the eight Buddhist sects.
Buddhist terminology, according to the "Ren Yu Jing" for six years: When the Buddha lived, Elder Fu built a Buddhist temple and prepared to worship the Buddha. He held a censer, looked at the distant garden, and worshipped Brahma Tianxiang. Cigarettes curled up to the garden and slowly fell on the Buddha's head, forming a "cloud cover". When the Buddha knew this, he went to the Tantan Temple in China. According to this legend, "Xiang" is the medium through which the flute conveys confidence to the Buddha, so it is called "Xiang is the messenger of the Buddha" in the scripture. This is also the origin of worshipping Buddha with incense in Buddhism. In Buddhism, offering Tan and Shen incense to the Buddha is a sincere and sincere offering, which is equivalent to offering six paramita.

Buddhists often sing "Xiang Zan" when burning incense: "No fragrance, no fragrance, no fragrance, no fragrance, no light, support Buddhism, support ten boundless buddhas, and all knowledge and experience will prove silence." "(Hua Yan Jing) is another symbolic meaning of burning incense for Buddha.
