  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A brief history of incense and Buddhism​

The act of burning incense is an ancient practice that is almost universally carried out in all schools of Buddhism. If you’re practicing Buddhism with other Buddhists, then you will likely come across the use of incense.

The burning of incense originated in India thousands of years ago even before Buddha was born. Even today, India is the top producer of incense.

Originally, incense were made and used by early Hindu monks for their pleasing aromas and perceived medicinal value.

The use of incense has been an import aspect of Buddhism since Buddha’s discover of the path to enlightenment.

Incense are frequently mentioned in the Pali Canon which is the oldest complete scriptures on the practice of Buddhism.

Eventually, India exported the making and use of incense to other Asian countries such as China, Japan and beyond.
