Can women worship Buddha during menstruation? Can women burn incense and worship Buddha during menstruation?

Some people may have heard of the so-called taboos for women worshiping Buddha, but in fact many folk rumors are not recognized, but there are still many people who are not clear about what is going on. So can women worship Buddha during menstruation? Is it true that going to a temple during menstruation will bring bad luck?

Can women worship Buddha during menstruation?

Women can worship Buddha during menstruation;

Master Yin once said, "It is irrational that women cannot worship Buddha during their menstruation. Women have their menstruation every month. The short menstruation may last for two or three days, or six or seven days. This is a physiological phenomenon for women. But what about cultivation? People who practice Buddhism must have pure thoughts one after another, and their practice must not be interrupted. You cannot interrupt your practice because of such a physiological phenomenon. If you interrupt, you may suffer great losses."

Therefore, if a woman worships Buddha during her menstrual period, she can worship Buddha less. Her body and mind may be restless and uncomfortable, so she can worship Buddha less, but it does not mean she should not worship Buddha at all. Chanting the Buddha's name and reciting scriptures should be carried out as usual and should not be interrupted. When menstruation comes, female friends need to pay attention to their personal health. If your hands come into contact with dirty cloth, you must wash them clean when you do your homework. You cannot touch Buddhist scriptures with dirty hands, including offering incense. You must have a respectful heart when practicing Buddhism.

Can girls burn incense and worship Buddha during menstruation?

When women go to temples to worship Buddha, no bad luck will happen to them, whether they are menstruating or not.

1. Although Buddhism allows women during their menstrual period to enter temples to worship and pay homage to Buddha, it also requires one person to have the intention to do so. If a woman's physical condition allows, she should clean herself up before worshiping the Buddha, and then she can go to the temple to worship the Buddha and burn incense with peace of mind. Regarding the question of whether women can enter temples to worship Buddha and burn incense during their menstrual period, in fact, the menstrual period is a very normal physiological phenomenon. Whether it is lay Buddhists or monks and nuns, this physiological problem is unavoidable.

2. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism treat all beings with compassion and equality. They will not discriminate against or hate women just because of their menstrual period.
