Why do people burn incense and worship Buddha? China loves to burn incense and worship Buddha because of this.

Different people burn incense and worship Buddha for different reasons. One is a religious person, and the other is a person who seeks peace and good luck:

First of all, burning incense and worshiping Buddha is the practice of Buddhist believers.

Buddha is not a god, but a teacher. All kinds of worshipping Buddha are not for worshipping idols, but have their profound connotations: worshipping Buddha is to subdue self-arrogance; Burning incense is to express your inner respect and remind yourself to support the three treasures with real incense.

Buddhism does not think that there is an external god who rules everything, and human life is decided by him. By studying Buddhism, we can correctly understand the laws of the world and life, thus making our life more and more beautiful. Practice is to cultivate the inner world, not the outer world, and the Buddha statue is also to inspire our inner world. For example, a photo is just a piece of paper, but if you have your own relatives in the photo, you will feel kind and warm when you see it. Worship Buddha statue is not to worship wood and stone, but to respect and respect the "Tao" it represents.

Support is not needed by buddhas and bodhisattvas, but by all living beings. It is convenient for all living beings to think of "I", lust after all lovely places, and break their inner greed through support. Similarly, the various provisions of the precepts are also designed to help all beings jump out of the quagmire of the five desires, restrain their desires with the help of the purity of the external environment, and return to the inner purity. The difference between Buddha and man lies in the heart, not in the face.

Second, burning incense is also a way for people all over the world to seek peace. It is auspicious to worship Buddha and burn incense. "Zeng Yi Agama" said that worshipping Buddha can obtain the following merits:

Correct. If you want to look solemn, you should worship Buddha more.

Good voice: You can say "Sakyamuni Buddha in the south" and "Amitabha Buddha in the south" while worshipping. There is no Buddha name in the south, so your voice will be fine in the future.

What a treasure. Because you don't just scatter flowers, light lanterns and give gifts, we usually go in and offer flowers, incense, candles and various fruits first, and then kowtow, so that your treasure will be more and your wealth will increase in the future. Because your worship is not only a bow ceremony, but also the giving and offering in front.

The merit of repentance is the home of the planter, and it will be born in a deep-rooted home. Because his heart is spotless, he kneels with his hands folded to worship Buddha, so he can grow up in poor parents instead of being born in poor families in the future. If you were born in heaven, you can be born in Sanshandao or heaven in the future.

Third, worshipping the Great Immortal, burning paper and watching geomantic omen have nothing to do with Buddhism, but heresy, which is forbidden by Buddhist precepts.

All along, "Daxian" often says that he believes in Buddhism under the signboard of Buddhism, which gives people a sense of intimacy, but it really has nothing to do with Buddhism. Buddhism does not give people lottery, divination and geomancy. Burning paper, gold ingots and double bodies are not Buddhist things.

Buddhist classics and precepts explicitly prohibit fortune-telling by lottery, which is not Buddhism, but a heresy attached to Buddhism. Because there are many such phenomena now, if the Buddhist community goes back to the source, to tell the truth, it will easily attract more people-people who are interested or confused, and people who are stubborn. These people will conversely say that lottery, fortune telling and fortune telling are a convenience in Buddhism, but this is totally misleading.

Jing Bo, the great monk, made it clear that Buddhists are forbidden to tell fortune by drawing lots.
