What's so particular about incense burners?

Question 1: Please pay attention to the incense burner when you go home. There are many styles of incense burners, including big, small, square, round, long and short. Materials such as copper, iron, tin, stone and ceramics are also different to show their different values; Carved with different patterns and words, indicating different uses. At home, there is an incense burner on the altar for ancestors to use. If Buddhists worship Buddha statues at home, don't forget to put an incense burner; Taoists worship God and use incense burners, all of which are used to burn incense. There are many kinds of incense burners with different shapes, which are used to burn different incense at different positions. For example, the big incense burner in the center or outside the hall of the Great Hero is mostly cast or carved from copper, iron and other metals, and the temple number is engraved on the furnace body for believers to insert incense. The incense burner on the table in the main hall is copper, stone or porcelain, which is used to burn sandalwood. There is a rectangular furnace tray in the main hall of the Buddhist temple, on which there is a delicate small incense burner burning sandalwood. Embroidery furnace is hung in front of the plate, which is very solemn and beautiful, and is dedicated to the abbot and monk. After the Buddhist ceremony in the main hall is completed, if you want to worship Buddha in other attached halls, the waiter will take the stove first, and the monk will go to the attached hall to burn incense. Lying incense burners are more suitable for Buddhist temples of believers at home, and there are also two kinds of bronze and porcelain. Cut off a bamboo branch below the incense line and burn it flat in the incense burner, so that the ash burner will not fly and pollute the altar. A small wooden incense burner carved with the shape of lotus has a long handle. Only one incense can be inserted, in the hands of monks and vegetarians during Buddhist ceremonies. It's called a hand stove. There is also a special box incense burner for burning incense powder, mostly made of copper and divided into three layers. Put incense-burning model vessels in the lower layer and incense powder in the middle layer to make the upper layer burn incense; Most of the models are "shou" or "fu" in seal script, and they are cast into a continuous back-shaped hillock pattern with a thickness of about 0.40 cm. Put the powder on the model to make beautiful patterns; Burn at the starting point, cover the furnace cover and let it burn in order, which is elegant; This kind of incense burner is rarely used for offering sacrifices to Buddha or ancestors, but is mostly used for burning incense in Sichuan.

Question 2: What are the precautions for buying porcelain incense burners in domestic cemeteries?

Question 3: Taboo of household incense burner Actually, this household incense burner is also very particular. Like taboo words, generally speaking, don't use inappropriate incense burners; How to say this, because every idol or Buddha has his own suitable incense burner; For example, the god of wealth is a god in the sky, and a censer made of metal is more suitable. Therefore, you'd better customize a suitable incense burner according to the situation of the god you worship. For this suggestion, you might as well go to a one-to-one custom-made copper furnace in official website.

In addition, the use of incense burner incense, which is also exquisite, must be the use of natural incense or better quality incense; But you can't use chemical incense or inferior incense; You can also customize a better natural incense in official website to provide one-to-one, phaseless copper stoves.

Finally, I would like to remind you that the incense burner should be cleaned frequently and not dirty.

Question 4: Pay attention to the eight offerings of incense burner (water, water, flowers, incense, lamp, incense, courage and joy) from left to right.

Sacrifice in the first eight days of Buddhism is a part of Buddhist practice, and the offerings seen in some monasteries are all offered in the traditional way. These offerings are not only part of the ceremony, but also an extension of the oath to serve all beings. Sacrifice is the antithesis of greed and greed. Dedication has its material significance, that is, a person dedicates all his valuable things. Or, some people may give all their property symbolically, imagining that all beings will benefit from it, all their sleepiness will be compensated, and paramita will be paid satisfactorily. Generally speaking, there are seven kinds of offerings on the altar, which are placed in seven containers. Each offering has its special significance: (1)-The first offering of drinking water is drinking water. The merit of water supply is to eliminate the thirst of all beings, especially the hungry ghost can relieve the pain of thirst. Another purpose of water supply is to let all living beings receive extensive compassion from Buddhism and eventually cool their bodies and minds. Water supply (2)—— Bath water, drinking water and bath water as supplies are not that the Buddha is thirsty or needs to be purified, but that water is supplied to the converted object, which can help us accumulate merits and gain our own purity. Our bodies have many defects and are very fragile, and the purpose of offering sacrifices is to eliminate the obstacles we will encounter when practicing dharma, meditation and enlightenment. When supplying water, clean the cups. First pour a little water into the first cup, and then filter it in turn. Then they are arranged neatly at a distance of one meter wide. Pour clean water from right to left in turn. Should not be too full, you can keep the height of a grain of rice, pay special attention to five kinds of mistakes in water supply, and you can get five kinds of merits if you can stay away. The five diseases are explained as follows: 1? When the water is not full, there is also a kind of "dissatisfaction" in my mind. 2? If the water overflows when it is full, the karma will have its own causes. 3? There is no distance between cups, and some friends have suffered bad luck. On the contrary, if the distance between cups is too wide, there is a danger of staying away from the guru and good knowledge. 4? A row of crooked cups, once had this life, the afterlife, physical and mental disorders. 5? When running water overflows the table, or there is water in the rice and rice in the water, the eyes of the world will not be bright, and there will be tears and gum. So we must stay away from the five evils in order to get the five virtues in turn. It is said that the Buddha's corpse is nirvana, and the monk goes to town to support the bowl. Many donors provided plenty of food, but a poor couple had nothing, so they gave food to a clear water in a pottery bowl. Their hearts were very respectful and pure. Later when they lived, it rose to 33 days? ..... The poor couple accumulated a lot of good and clean food because of the great merit of water supply, and each generation was reborn as a nobleman with a beautiful figure. In the era of Sakyamuni Buddha, he was reincarnated as a son in a wealthy family with a garden and exquisite houses, and became a child of the golden family. He was named the "Golden God", and all living beings are willing to get what they want, regardless of food, clothing and treasure. Later, the golden god was forbidden by a monk in front of the Buddha and gained the status of Siraitia grosvenorii. The third offering of "flowers" is flowers, which will make people around you solemn. Although it is not necessary for a complete Buddhist world to offer flowers, it is beneficial to the providers. It also makes us willing to let all sentient beings find a noble home, and finally we can have all kinds of looks and characteristics as successful people. How to accumulate Fude food by offering flowers? Once upon a time, when Monaghana Muni Buddha adapted to the world, there were many monks in the city. The rich lived on food, but a poor man was nothing, but he had confidence in the monks. He respectfully picked flowers of different colors on the grass and bowed with a very pure and pious heart. He was later reincarnated as a rich boy in the only garden of Sakyamuni Buddha, and his appearance was solemn and beautiful. As soon as he was born, it began to rain, and he was named "Flower God". This "flower god" grew up later and was forbidden to get the fruit of Lohan by a monk in front of the Buddha. It can be seen that when offering flowers, the most important thing is to pray that all beings can get the fruit of Buddha with a sincere and pure heart. Even a small flower will have great merit because of its broad mind. Offering incense is not because Buddhists and Bodhisattvas need to get rid of their body odor, but because offering incense can get rid of unpleasant and unhealthy smells, and the accumulated merits can finally achieve the far-reaching completion of practice. It is said that people who have completed their practice are surrounded by sweetness and fragrance. What about the supply of incense? According to the source of materials, it can be divided into pure natural fragrance type and synthetic fragrance type; Natural incense such as sandalwood, agarwood, cypress leaf, camphor tree, pine and cypress, angelica, rice husk, azalea and so on. Synthetic perfume: 1? Red, white and sandalwood II. Five wonderful offerings 3...> & gt

Why can't incense burners be made of jade and glass?

Male audience: The director originally said that jade and glass could not be used as incense burners. What is the reason?

Director: What's the reason-what about transparent jade? ) Jade is opaque, but it is also a transparent and translucent transparent body, got it? Oh, the spirit is easy? ) I ask you a question and you will know. Can you see the shadow in the frosted glass? (Right, right) Did you say you were afraid? Wouldn't you be more afraid if you put a lamp, a frosted glass and a shadow in it at night and you couldn't see anyone? (Mm-hmm) Is that Yin or Yang? That's what it means.

Question 7: Do you pay attention to the placement of incense burners at home? If there are bodhisattvas or other memorial tablets at home, it can't be right, at least there must be curtains to separate them.

Question 8: Where should I put the incense burner at home? There is no specific statement.
