Is it moral to always burn incense with your head down?

As a physics teacher, I will tell you that there is no meaning, but the incense ash is just in balance.

Another important reason is that the texture of incense is hard and not soft after burning, so it does not fall off in time.

But what you want to hear is religious and folk, and there is another explanation:

There are many people in life who believe in Buddhism (I used to be a devout believer). Burning incense and worshipping Buddha has a very long history, until today. People in most parts of our country have the custom of burning incense and paper on many special days, such as Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival or New Year's Eve. There are many people who believe in Buddhism. Every year, they go to temples and other places from time to time to burn incense and pray and make wishes. There are many sayings about incense ashes in folk or religious circles. ?

What do people mean by incense ashes?

In some places, the incense sticks, indicating that the souls of the deceased at home are here and have been reluctant to leave for a long time. There are rumors among the people that if this happens, you can take some paper money and burn it after praying, and the soul of the deceased will leave, and the incense ashes will naturally fall. Although this statement is mysterious and has no scientific basis, some people still believe it.

Whether it is true or not, comforting the soul is also a sustenance for the living.

There are many similar sayings, such as putting a penny coin on the mirror. If you can set it successfully once, there will be dead souls at home; Take ten chopsticks and stand in a bowl with half a bowl of water. If these ten chopsticks are not thrown away separately, it is said that there is also a dead soul at home.

Finally, if you are a devout believer, you'd better not be obsessed with watching incense.

People want to see the governor of incense, which is essentially no different from fortune telling. They all want to predict whether their future is good or bad. But no matter what kind of calculation, it is not omnipotent. On the contrary, in personal consciousness, especially for materialists, personal talent is the theme and mature enough. They can recognize the essence of things and face life calmly without being self-righteous. So many people don't need to go to anyone to budget for the future.

At the same time, we must face the reality. Just as law and morality complement each other, everyone in life can't have the same cognition. Similarly, reading incense and fortune telling is closely related to personal life. Buddhism is wisdom and consciousness. Buddhist scriptures make people think about how to do things. Believing in Buddhism is not bowing and kowtowing, but how many people can do it in life and how many people realize it.

The original intention of the Buddha is by no means to make people bow down and kowtow. Heaven is good, and heaven forgives anyone. Buddha said cause and effect. The present suffering may be the fault of previous lives or this life. Seeing incense and telling fortune belongs to the intermediary, because everyone can become a Buddha, but no one can practice. The real fragrant seed is to help others out of suffering, not to get much money, so many people don't understand the essence.

To sum up, we should not think that reading incense and fortune telling can solve the difficulties we will face, nor should we hope that these will bring us good luck. Everything in the future is made now.
