How to deal with the incense sticks after burning incense

Step 1 <br/>The incense burner should not be too full of ash and incense. Pour out the ash and put it in a clean container, preferably a box or something like that. If you don’t have one, a clean bag will also work. After packaging, seal it to ensure that the incense ash and incense stems do not leak out.
Step 2 <br/>After packaging, you can send it to a nearby temple for processing, or sincerely recite "Namo Amitabha" and then place the incense ash in the large incense burner in the temple. The incense sticks can be placed in a treasure bowl and burned, and the ashes can be treated as incense ash.
Return the ashes to the earth <br/>We can bury the incense ash in clean soil, dig a little deeper, and let dust return to dust, earth return to earth. This will provide nutrients for living things to grow and prosper. This is the law of cause and effect, and good results will be obtained. We can also put the incense ashes in running water and let them drift away.
Other disposal methods <br/>For Buddhist disciples in cities, if they really have no way of disposing of incense ashes and incense ends, they can put them in the trash can after packaging them. After finishing the treatment, silently recite "Namo Amitabha" three times.
