Hi Folks,

Just wanna ask...cos I forgotten to ask my FS master...

When ladies come menses, can they offer joss sticks to their own

Guanyin at home? Many ppl told me actually is no problem.

But I feel dirty leh...so dunno good or not to offer during menstruation.

Please advise.....Thanks.!

By right it's ok.. the one who's super offended by menses is the "da po gong"

But if you feel not clean, simply wash your hands before you offer joss stick lor.

Ha ha

Guan Yin 观音 which's sanskrit name is Avalokietsvara meaning one who percives the cries from this world, a popular bodhisattva 菩萨 in Buddhism which has often been mis-worshipped by Taoists and taoist temples, setting loads of restrictions which goes aganist the teachings of Buddhism. Guan Yin Pusa 观音菩萨 orignated from the 25th Chapter of Universal Door Lotus Sutra 妙法莲华经- 观世音菩萨普门品二十五. Guan Yin appears in the form of female in many cultures who worship him, especially in Chinese Buddhist Culture. Guan Yin Bodhisattva made 12 vows which mainly focused on blessing the world and relieving pain and sufferings to people who calls upon her name with pure faith n devotion. That is the main reason for it's popularity amongst Buddhists or even taoists. However, Guan Yin should not be framed up with superstitions such as that "it is not Ok to if one does not place an incense urner, or burning josspapars" since it was not a Buddhist concept in the beginning. A note to make, no one will be too "dirty" to make offering or pray to Guan Yin Bodhisattva even during menses which is a normal cycle in females. Nobody is too dirty for the Buddha and bodhisattvas to be blessed .... the impt thing, are yr minds and heart pure and clean ???? 南无本师释迦牟尼佛 南无大慈大悲观世音菩萨 。。。
