Beginners want to learn how to read incense heads, so I suggest reading "Fragrance Collection" and "Lingtai Aquilaria" by Teacher Liu Liangyou. Then, after a certain foundation, I began to read Xiangcheng and Sumo, and I realized the concept of Xiangtou. Many people are used to burning incense and worshipping Buddha and praying for the blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattva before the fifteenth day of junior high school or before the college entrance examination for students and major investments at home. The three incense sticks in front of the Buddha have different meanings according to the burning degree of the incense head.
How to look at the fragrant head:
1, three sticks of incense remain straight all the time.
Peaceful and auspicious, which means: safe and sound.
2. The middle fragrant head is higher than the two fragrant heads.
Naive, which means: there will be immortals or buddhas and bodhisattvas coming.
3. The middle fragrant head is more than half of the fragrant heads at both ends.
Great purity means that there will be immortals or buddhas and bodhisattvas coming.
4. The fragrant head in the middle is lower than the fragrant heads at both ends.
Xiao He means: something good will happen in three days.
5. The middle fragrant head is lower than half of the fragrant heads at both ends.
Big lotus, which means: good luck or fortune will happen within seven days.
6. The one on the left or right is higher, and the other half is equal to the middle one.
Longevity incense means: the left side is higher than the right side to increase life, and the right side is higher than the left side to decrease life.
