Can I go to the temple to burn incense on the fifth day?

You can burn incense in the temple on the fifth day of the first month.

Up to now, many friends still think that there is a custom of not going out on the fifth day of the first month, so they can't go to the temple to burn incense on this day, but this is not the case. The old saying that you can't go out on the fifth day of the first month is mainly aimed at not leaving relatives, so as not to bring "poverty" to relatives. But on the fifth day of the first month, you can take incense from the temple, which is not taboo on that day.

So you can burn incense in the temple on the fifth day of the first month of every year, but the best time to burn incense in the temple is to suggest choosing one of the first day and the fifteenth day. But as long as you are sincere, it is good to burn incense at any time.

Matters needing attention when going to the temple to burn incense:

1. When entering the temple, the male guest takes his left foot first and the female guest does the opposite. Take a big step into the temple, don't stand on the threshold.

Everyone will make a wish to Buddha when burning incense. If you really want your wish to come true, you can make a wish to the Buddha in addition to your sincerity. What will happen if your wish comes true?

3. You can invite three incense, six incense, nine incense and thirteen incense. The implication is different. Some people think that the more expensive you buy, the better. This is not right. Sincere worship of Buddha is the most important thing.

4. Be sure to wash your hands before burning incense, and then light it with your own fire. The hotter, the better. You must insert incense with your left hand. Buddhists think it is unlucky to kill with the right hand.
