Many people will choose to worship Buddha at home, because there is no way to always go to the temple to worship Buddha, so they will invite Buddha to their home, but in this case, incense will be burned at home, but the burnt incense ashes must be disposed of, and don't throw them around casually, otherwise there will be places with bad feng shui. So what should I do with the incense ashes at home? How to deal with the taboo of incense ashes? Let's let this issue of Feng Shui Knowledge Daquan answer your questions.

What should I do with incense ashes offered to Buddhists at home?

Let the temple master help to deal with it.

Don't fill the incense burner with ashes and incense. Pour the incense ashes into a clean container, preferably a box or a clean bag. After packaging, it should be sealed to ensure that the incense ashes inside will not spill out. When the bag is finished, the best way is to give it to the temple and ask the monk for help.

Put it in the incense burner in the temple.

It is also selfish and altruistic to recite "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south" sincerely and then put incense ashes in the big incense burner of the temple to continue to offer sacrifices to the Buddha and accumulate virtue. In addition, incense ashes can also be buried in clean soil. As the saying goes, "dust to dust, soil to soil". Burying them underground to support the prosperity and growth of all things is also planting good karma for yourself, and there will be good results in the future.

Scattered in running water

Of course, you can also choose to sprinkle incense ashes in running water and let them drift with the flow. Anyway, our hearts must be clean. People who understand Buddhism know very well that learning Buddhism cannot be persistent, but must be accompanied by good karma. Insist on doing anything, there will be a sense of separation, there will be right and wrong, and troubles will follow. This is not our original intention of learning Buddhism, nor is it the result we want.

Taboo treatment of incense ash

Never throw it away at will.

In the process of handling incense ashes, don't throw incense ashes on the roadside or in the trash can at will. We should find a cloth or bag to wrap it up first, and then send it to the right place.

Avoid contamination and repentance.

If we are offering sacrifices to idols, we must remember that we can't pollute idols with incense ashes, otherwise it will lead to the pollution of idols, and then we can't protect the feng shui at home.

Avoid facing the window.

Before processing incense ashes, we must avoid facing the window, otherwise there will be wind blowing in the window, blowing incense ashes everywhere, which is extremely unfavorable to our Feng Shui.
