When applying incense, hold the incense between your thumb and forefinger, close the remaining three fingers together, hold the incense flat with both hands at eyebrow level, and visualize the Buddha and Bodhisattvas appearing in front of us, accepting the incense offerings. If there are many people, hold the incense straight up to avoid burning others, then walk three steps away from the Buddha statue, hold the incense and visualize worshiping the Buddha.
When putting on incense, when starting to light the fire, the three incense sticks should be inserted at the same height in the incense burner. As the incense burns, due to various factors, the burning speed of the incense is different, and the height of the three incense sticks will be inconsistent. Before we put incense, we should choose three incense sticks with equal lengths and even thickness.
