Can I go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha during menstruation?

You can't burn incense in the temple when you have your period. The reasons for praying are as follows. There are rumors in our workshop that women can't enter Buddhist temples during menstruation and can't burn incense and worship Buddha. Blood is dirty and will hit the bodhisattva, which is actually a superstitious saying. In primitive times, people knew that menstrual blood was also blood, but they didn't understand its principle. Although it will bleed for several days every month, it will not get sick, so everyone will feel particularly mysterious and feel that menstrual blood is also amazing. On the one hand, blood can give people life, and people worship it very much, so the ancients used blood when swearing. On the other hand, in war, blood is a symbol of pain, and people are particularly afraid. So when the ancients looked at blood, their hearts were very complicated. Women's blood is usually a symbol of impurity. Women should avoid fragrance when they come to menstruation, so it also brings many taboos. Later, after Buddhism was introduced to China, many people would use this realm for incense, thinking that it is a very disrespectful behavior for women to burn incense during menstruation. In fact, this is also because they don't understand Buddhism and look at Buddhism from a secular perspective. Buddha has seen through life and death. Tell us something, and he will treat physiology correctly. He is not afraid of women's menstrual blood and fragrance, and the most important thing is sincerity. A normal phenomenon can't explain anything, but when we burn incense, chanting scriptures and Buddha is a necessary lesson every day. We need to stick to it and respect the Bodhisattva, because it is not good to give up this little phenomenon. So, for example, a woman can go to the temple to burn incense during her menstrual period, but she can't help but worship. She must wash when she goes up the mountain, and she can't refuse to worship Buddha just because she has her period. When chanting, we can do it normally. If you receive something dirty, wash your hands first, and don't touch the Buddhist scriptures with unclean hands. Because the Buddhist scriptures are very clean, our most important thing is sincerity, so there are not so many taboos when worshipping Buddha. As long as you keep a sincere heart to the bodhisattva, this is the most important thing.
