Dear Teacher,
I have a shrine in my house. I used to burn incenses and pray to the deities everyday. I learned meditation from my teacher, and she suggested that we don’t do such things. Why can’t I? I invited deities to our house when I set up my shrine. If burning incense and praying to the deities are not good, what should I do?
亲爱的老師,
我家有佛堂,過去每天有燒香拜佛。而今我跟我的老師學了靜坐,她建議我不要燒香拜佛。为什么不可燒香拜佛?如果不可燒香拜佛,當初我請佛來我家,那现在要怎样做?
Response:
It is fine to have an altar and pray. It is fine to burn incense as well.
回覆:
有佛堂和燒香拜佛都是可以的。
