What are the benefits of learning Buddhism at first?

It is suitable to recite the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra (hereinafter referred to as the Heart Sutra) from the beginning. This sutra is very short, hundreds of words, but the Buddhist teachings are deep and easy to read. When I first read the Heart Sutra, I also gained good wisdom and blessings.

At the end of my study here, I need to talk to you about some initial steps, including later singing:

1. Before chanting Buddha, give incense to the Buddha before praying: when the Buddha was alive, disciples used incense as their support. Buddhists believe that "incense is the messenger of Buddhism" and "incense is the messenger of faith", so burning incense and putting on incense are almost necessary in all Buddhist activities. From daily chanting to meditation, incense is essential.

But now there are a lot of chemical incense, which is not only harmful, but also disrespectful to Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Therefore, it is essential to invite a natural fragrance with good quality. If you sincerely worship Buddha, I suggest that you can invite a few boxes of incense to practice on the copper furnace without phase. I have been practicing with this incense in my last school, and I have gained a lot.

2. When chanting: read clearly and loudly, understand the meaning of the scripture at the same time, and improve the understanding.

3. chanting: returning, the role of returning is to have both merits and demerits, so that it is a complete chanting blessing.

Finally, I wish you a happy life, Amitabha!
