How to burn incense at home without blackening the walls?

You can use a Buddhist shrine, which is a wooden platform, generally closed on three sides, which can effectively prevent smoke from directly smoking on the wall, and is easy to clean, which can make the Buddha look more solemn.

We should also pay attention to the following points when placing Buddhist niches: Buddhist niches or shrines should be placed from the inside out, facing the door from home and facing the door from the hall, that is to say, facing the door. However, if this requirement cannot be met due to environmental restrictions, they should also be placed in the direction of the gate to avoid rushing to the gate, that is, you should see the niche as soon as you enter the room and keep a certain distance from the gate; It should be in a quiet place, and the place should be quiet and tidy; It is best not to have audio, television and other things near shrines or altars; Don't face the bed; Don't face the dining table, kitchen and bathroom. If the conditions are limited, some people put shrines or shrines in their bedrooms and block them with a yellow curtain when they sleep. The back of the shrine or altar should not be empty, and the toilet or kitchen next to the wall should not be used as far as possible.

Burning incense is a very common respect for Buddha and Bodhisattva in our daily life, especially those who study Buddhism often burn incense at home or in temples, but many people may not know much about burning incense. They think it's easy to burn incense, just light a fire and insert an incense burner, but it's not. Burning incense has many meanings. The meaning of burning incense has four aspects:

1, showing reverence and respect for the three treasures, as a demonstration to attract all beings.

2. It means to send information to the void dharma circle and understand the ten treasures of blessing.

3. It means burning oneself, spreading incense and reminding Buddhist disciples of selfless dedication.

It means that the Buddhist precepts are really fragrant, which contains the tacit oath of "diligently practicing the precepts, being wise, eliminating greed, hubbub and delusion". Buddha doesn't like the great fragrance in the world, but likes disciples to observe precepts, steadiness, truthfulness and fragrance.
