Can burning incense and worshipping Buddha at home really change your destiny?

Burning incense and worshipping Buddha at home really can't change fate. Basically, every household in Chaoshan has the habit of burning incense and worshipping God, and spends a lot of time and energy on worshipping God every year, but no one has ever changed his fate because of this. More people are still living as usual.

The devout Chaoshan people are superstitious in the eyes of many people, and they worship various gods every month. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they will worship the Heaven, the Kitchen God and the Earth God at home, and celebrate their birthdays and longevity. Even the mantra is "bless your master (God)" ...

But there are very few people who can really change their destiny by the phrase "God bless".

Sometimes Chaoshan people feel that their home is not big enough, and they specially ask God to burn incense and worship Buddha.

If burning incense and worshipping Buddha can really change the fate, then the fate of Chaoshan people should have been changed long ago. Nationwide, I think the piety of Chaoshan people burning incense and worshiping Buddha is unparalleled. Every year, people from other places come to Chaoshan and feel more knowledgeable when they see the sacrificial activities of Chaoshan people. ...

But my family burned incense and worshipped Buddha for decades, and never changed the fate of "poverty".

However, Chaoshan people also know that burning incense and worshipping Buddha can't change their destiny. What we want is nothing more than inner sustenance and the inheritance of traditional customs, which is a cultural tradition. In such a ceremony, we inherited a spiritual belief and awe. Let yourself abide by "holding your head three feet high with gods" and do things "worthy of heaven, people and heart" ...

If this belief, this awe, can bring anything, I think it may really contain the power to change fate.

You know, if we want to have character in our life and work, to be worthy of heaven and people, we must abide by our own standards in the process of daily life, social communication and dealing with people, and demand ourselves according to these standards, so as to maintain a reverence for heaven and earth in behavior, speech and thought, and do our duty and not do evil things.

Such a conscientious person can be indifferent under any circumstances, and because of his good conduct, he is more likely to be accepted and recognized by the outside world, and naturally it is easier to change his fate.

Even among Chaoshan people, there is a legend of "Guanyin worshipping himself". When Guanyin Bodhisattva encounters problems, she also needs to ask God to worship Buddha, but what she asks is not others, but herself. Such legends have shown that we worship the gods because we respect the mysterious forces that protect us in front of nature, but we also understand that only we can change our destiny.

Therefore, if you want to change your destiny, don't start by burning incense and worshipping Buddha, but first purify your heart, let it settle down and do things well. Just like there is a saying in Chaoshan that "God helps those who help themselves", no one can help you if you don't work hard. The whole world will help you when you work hard.
