Parents who accompany college entrance examination students burn incense every night. What do you think of this phenomenon?

When I saw this topic, the first thing I wanted to say was, well, it’s such a good life to have parents accompany you during the college entrance examination. I remember those days when my friend and I rushed to the examination room with a bottle of water and a few pens. I was so sad. Returning to the original topic, parents accompany students to study and burn incense every night. This is actually closely related to our Chinese culture. In China, if someone in the family has to take an exam, apply for a job, or get a promotion, they will immediately go to the temple to pray to God. This is very common.

This incident shows that our country’s Taoist and Buddhist culture still has a relatively wide influence in our country. Of course, the people worshiped in many places are not the traditional Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but the ancients who have made great achievements in the local area. Generally speaking, some ancient officials made some outstanding contributions to the local area. After the official died, the local people built a golden statue for him to commemorate his great achievements and worshiped him as a god. These places usually set a date based on the person's deeds. Whenever this day comes, people will come to worship him to commemorate his deeds. Of course, people also pray to gods while worshiping.

In fact, when people burn incense and worship Buddha, it is more of a sustenance in their hearts. If the degree is deeper, for example, you have deep faith in a certain "god" because he is very "efficacious". I think this so-called "efficacy" is more of a kind of self-hypnosis. When you want something to happen, and there is a possibility of it happening, then when you go to pray to God and worship Buddha, and it happens that the thing happens in the direction you want, then believers like you will praise its name. : "This God is really efficacious." Sometimes I don’t know what to say about this phenomenon. But, to be honest, this phenomenon is actually a kind of belief. I personally think that people with faith appear to be extraordinarily noble. Of course, the premise is that your faith guides people in the direction of good.

?Since goodbye is a kind of beautiful sustenance and kind wishes, then why is this phenomenon wrong? Parents who take the college entrance examination burn incense every night because their children are about to take the college entrance examination. Not only are their children nervous, but I think the parents are even more nervous. Burning incense and saying goodbye as a form of sustenance can effectively relieve parents' anxiety and tension, making them feel that they can do something on the sidelines instead of just waiting for nothing. I think this may be the actual role of "god".
