At home, we usually burn incense once in the morning and once in the evening, and at other times we burn incense according to our own preferences and convenience. The key is to understand the true meaning of burning incense:
First, it expresses sincere and respectful offerings to the Three Jewels, thereby demonstrating and guiding sentient beings.
Second, it means transmitting information to the void Dharma Realm and gaining blessings from the Three Jewels in all directions.
Third, it means burning oneself to spread fragrance to all directions, reminding Buddhist disciples to make selfless contributions.
Fourth, it means that the true incense of Buddhist precepts and concentration has been lit, which contains the silent vow to "diligently cultivate precepts, concentration, and wisdom, and extinguish greed, anger, and ignorance." The Buddha does not like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the true incense of Buddhist disciples' precepts and concentration.
