The significance of burning incense and worshipping Buddha

1. To show loyalty and respect in offering to the Three Jewels, thereby demonstrating the guidance of sentient beings.

2. It shows that the burning itself can spread the fragrance to all directions, reminding Buddhist disciples to make selfless contributions.

3. It indicates that the Buddhist precepts, concentration and true incense have been lit, which implies a silent vow to diligently cultivate precepts, concentration and wisdom and to calm greed, anger and delusion. The Buddha does not like the big and expensive incense of the world, but he likes the precepts, concentration, truth and incense of his disciples.

4. The three sticks of incense burning usually represent the three non-leakage studies of precepts, concentration and wisdom; they also represent offerings to the permanent Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. This is the most satisfying and civilized way of burning incense and offering. It is not the quantity of incense that counts, but the sincerity of the heart that counts. As the saying goes, burning three civilized incense sticks is to show your sincere intention.
