OFFERING HEART INCENSE TO BODHISATTVA ENSHRINED AT HOME WHILE WHOLE FAMILY IS AWAY

(Master Jun Hong Lu's call-in radio program)

Caller:  How do you do Master Lu?  A Buddhist friend would like to know what to do with the altar at home when they go to temple for prayer on the first day of lunar month.

Master Jun Hong Lu:  He still has to offer incense at home.

Caller:  What if there is no one at home?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  What do you mean by that?

Caller:  That is, the entire family visit the temple located in another city for prayer.

Master Jun Hong Lu:  I see.  He has to offer heart incense then.

Caller:  To offer heart incense, do they need to bring along a picture of their altar with them?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  If you use a picture, you will need an incense burner.  Without the picture, you may simply offer heart incense.
