Can pregnant women go to temples?
Fengshuijiao
From the perspective of feng shui, go to the temple to burn incense and pray. If your wish comes true, you must do it in time. During pregnancy, women can do all Buddhist things, that is to say, they can make wishes in temples, but they should pay attention to their bodies not to do high-risk actions. Of course, you can also wait for the children to play before making a wish.
From a metaphysical point of view
From a metaphysical point of view, men are yang, women are yin, and men naturally prefer yang. People who are full of yang will be warm and auspicious, and those who are full of yin will be cold and unlucky. Women are yin, pregnant women are more yin. It is not suitable to go to temples at this time, which is one of the reasons why many elderly people say that pregnant women can't go to temples.
From a realistic point of view.
But from a realistic point of view, pregnant women are still not suitable for going to temples. Because the incense burned in the temple is made of wood and chemical essence, the gas released by burning a lot of wood and chemical essence is very harmful to the health of pregnant women and fetuses. Especially Indian incense and sandalwood, pregnant women are very prone to miscarriage after smelling for a long time, so pregnant women try to go to temples as little as possible.
Precautions for pregnant women to burn incense and worship Buddha in temples
1, choose when there are few people.
Many people like to go to temples on the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva or during the Chinese New Year holidays. Pregnant women should remember that they should go when there are few people. Because of the special constitution of pregnant women, many people will be bumped, and many people burn incense in temples, resulting in poor air quality, which is not good for fetal health.
2. Try to stay away from fragrant smoke.
You need to use high incense when you burn incense and worship Buddha. No matter what kind of high fragrance, its ingredients are not good for fetal health. Therefore, pregnant women should immediately go out of the smoky room and breathe fresh air outside after lighting incense and worshipping Buddha.
3, the action should not be too big
It is not difficult for pregnant women who are pregnant for three or four months, but it is difficult for pregnant women who are pregnant for eight or nine months. Pregnant women should bow their heads according to their own situation. If they are unwell, they can bow down directly, and don't force themselves to kneel down.
Now we can know that pregnant women can't go to the temple not because of superstition, but because there are many people in the temple and the aroma is not good for the health of the fetus, so pregnant women are not recommended to go to the temple. If pregnant women must go to temples during pregnancy, they can try to avoid holidays and try not to inhale a lot of fragrance.
