Is it taboo to pray for blessings during the lunar calendar and not burn incense in the temple?

You can go to the temple to burn incense even if you don't want to pray for blessings.
"It is taboo to pray for blessings" is just a simple saying. Whether you pray on an unlucky day or not will not affect the content of your prayer. If you want to realize what you want, you have to work hard to accomplish it. Praying alone is not enough. Even if you pray on an auspicious day, it is just a psychological comfort for yourself. Therefore, it doesn't matter much if you burn incense and pray on an unlucky day. There is no need to worry too much about the day.

Can I eat meat after burning incense?

1. In any case, whether or not to eat meat is a personal choice, and Buddhism never forbids anything. The Buddha is only teaching us that eating meat is a persecution to other lives and is not good, and he advises us not to eat it. You can listen or not.
2. Therefore, it is okay to eat meat after worshiping the Buddha. There is no inscription in Buddhism that stipulates that eating meat after worshiping the Buddha will be punished.
3. However, the most serious sin in eating meat, in Buddhism, is eating meat that is not “three pure meats”. The so-called three pure meats mean that the life did not die directly because of you, you did not instruct others to kill it for eating (this is the worst), and you did not kill it directly for eating. If one cannot be a vegetarian and can eat meat, if one is a Buddhist disciple, eating the "three clean meats" exists in the form of lay Buddhist precepts.
