The refreshing scent of incense has long been believed to change the atmosphere of a place and banish impurities. Before welcoming the Buddha, the incense is burned to purify the area and cleanse the worshippers’ bodies and clothes of worldly dirt. The scent also has a calming effect, helping to clear away worldly worries and prepare a pure heart for facing the Buddha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIt is said that when Shakyamuni Buddha preached, incense was burned to eliminate odors in gathering places and create a pure space.

This literally means “eating fragrance.” While living humans consume physical food, Buddhas and spirits without physical bodies consume good fragrances as their meals. Therefore, offering the finest scents is considered the highest form of hospitality for Buddhas and ancestors. And also a wonderful way to nourish and support deceased loved ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e3.

The verses teach that incense sharpens the senses, purifies the body and mind, removes filth, awakens one from drowsiness, brings peace in silence, and calms the mind even during busy times.
