The full moon appears in thousands of rivers
Puan is the place with no taboos
After launching Pu'an Yizhen incense, two other versions were produced successively. Although these three incense are all Pu'an incense, the fragrance and raw materials are slightly different. Yizhen incense is a daily incense offering, Qingyun incense is suitable for outdoor or larger spaces, and Jingchen incense is more for purification. Although the effects of these three incense are slightly different, they can all be used for daily incense offering.
These three types of incense powders, Zhenxiang and Qingyunxiang, both have hundreds of herbs as the base and are made with honey and fragrant wood. They are the perfume-making methods of the Tang and Song dynasties. The raw materials of the two are different in several ways. Jingchenxiang is used for purification and is suitable for home purification incense.
The third type of dust-purifying incense is based on the Taoist recipe for purifying the house, so the ingredients are mainly positive. Unlike the other two recipes, which add hundreds of medicines, the usage is different and the more ingredients are certainly not the better. There are quite a few Taoist recipes for purifying the house, such as the more common Seven Fragrances and Twelve Essences. The formula of Qingyun Incense is closer to the Seven Fragrances, but based on the environment in Taiwan, there are some changes.
【Universal entry into the One Realm of Huayan】
After talking about the three new types of Puan incense, let’s talk about the first type of Puan incense. In fact, the Puan incense series originated from Puan Patriarch, and the opportunity for the Patriarch to be enlightened was Huayan. In the 23rd volume of the Commentary on the Great Prajnaparamita Sutra by Master Chengguan of the Tang Dynasty, it says:
Now, pure wisdom is the One True Dharma Realm, and pure wisdom is the original wisdom nature. The Vajra Peak Yoga says that there are five wisdoms, the first of which is the pure wisdom of the Dharma Realm, which is the One True Dharma Realm.
Master Pu'an's freedom from all taboos and his various wonderful uses all stem from his pure wisdom, as stated in the 330th chapter of the Avatamsaka Sutra. In the 25th verse 11 of the Dedication Chapter, it says:
Son of Buddha! The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva further dedicates the merits cultivated through Dhamma-giving in the following way: “May all Buddha lands be completely purified and adorned with ineffable and immeasurable ornaments. Each and every Buddha land is as vast as the Dharma Realm, pure and unobstructed, clean and bright, and the Buddhas attain enlightenment within it. The pure state in one Buddha land can manifest all Buddha lands; as in one Buddha land, so are all Buddha lands.
Son of Buddha! Bodhisattva-Mahasattva in all those Buddha lands, in one Buddha land, one direction, one place, or on the tip of a hair, there are immeasurable, boundless, and incalculable number of great Bodhisattvas, all of whom have accomplished pure wisdom and reside in it. Just as one can measure one Buddha land, one direction, one place, and the tip of a hair, so too can one measure one Buddha land, one direction, one place, and the tip of a hair throughout the universe and the Dharma Realm. This is because Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas dedicate all their good roots, wishing that all Buddha lands will be adorned with various wonderful treasures.
The ancestors had no taboos because they realized that the dharma realm is only mind, and that all dharmas are gathered together by causes and conditions and change according to conditions. The fragrance is also a combination of many spices, and different people have different feelings when they smell it, because their hearts are different. However, although people's hearts are different, the Buddha nature is the same. If one achieves pure wisdom, one can enter the one true realm of Avatamsaka and make offerings to all sentient beings in the dharma realm.
【Three Qis combine to create incense and the five internal organs bloom】
Regarding Pu'an Qingyun incense, some incense lovers asked why the label says "Fatan version". In fact, the name of this Qingyun incense comes from the orthodox Taoist Canon. The first one. The Shangqing Qiong Palace Lingfei Liujia Lu, the mantra in the scripture says: Six Qi are refined and clear, Yun Palace Yuhua, hence the name.
This is not the first time that the Six Dings and Six Jias have been discussed. They were mentioned in the Taoist Canon in the previous article "Nine Heavens Do Not Make Incense". Dongxuan Department. Various arts. The Lingbao Liu Ding secret method is also a scripture about Ding Jia. The Lingfei Liujia Lu says:
The god of Liujia sometimes rides on six dragons, and holds a feast with clouds, looking forward to the six directions, and returning to the bedroom of those who have subdued him. On the eighth day of the festival, one would ride on the chariot of white phoenix and drive the phoenix with black wings to feast at the inverted scenery of Changyang and view the sacred mountains in the eight directions. The body of the person who casts the talisman can be subdued, the spirit and the soul can be harmonized, the spirit can reach the form, the three qi can be combined with incense, the five internal organs can bloom, one can die while sitting, one can summon all the demons, one can walk on sharp edges and over dangerous places, all the gods can come to harmonize, one can wade through mountains and walk into water, along the coast and along the river, one will not cross the beams, one will not be afraid of the dangers of the peaks, one can change and hide, one can call down the wind and thunder, one can create clouds and rain, one can make a kitchen while sitting, one will not be hurt when fighting against soldiers, one will not get wet when entering the water, the mountain gods will protect him, the jade maidens will come to welcome him.
The Lingbao Liu Ding secret method says: You must first burn incense and use clean water to cleanse the foul air, then you can open the book and pray to read it. It is also said: Set up the forest in a room, burn incense and keep the room clean, and no one else is allowed to come and go. Before getting up or going to bed, one would first spread out a pillow in front of the forest, fast, burn incense, cleanse water, meditate, and eliminate impurities, and offer sacrifices to the Six Jade Maidens.
Taoist rituals are inseparable from incense. No matter whether it is performed in an outer practice or in a pure room, incense is indispensable because its fragrance can purify turbidity and form clouds and flowers. Therefore, in ancient incense, a variety of aromatic drugs are used to show the fragrance. Qingyun incense has a high ratio of aromatic drugs and a strong fragrance, so it is more suitable for use outdoors or in large spaces. That is why it is marked for use on the altar. Of course, it can also be used indoors, but the amount used does not need to be too much.

Pu'an Patriarch can be said to be a very special Buddhist patriarch. He inherited the lineage of Linji and attained enlightenment through reading the Huayan Sutra. He was passed down the Pu'an Mantra. Of course, there are other versions in some research, but they do not deviate from the teachings of the Huayan Sutra, which integrates the Buddhist path with its perfect sea of fruit.
As for why they are put together with soap, in fact, in Buddhist culture, incense and soap can be said to be one of the 18 items of Buddhist ascetics, which are the 18 props used by monks in their practice life:
They include willow branches, bath beans, three robes, water bottles, bowls, seats, staffs, incense burners, boxes, water strainers, hand towels, knives, flints, tweezers, rope beds, sutras, Vinaya, Buddha statues, and Bodhisattva statues.
Incense represents moral discipline, and bath beans are used to purify the body. In many rituals, one must cleanse the body before entering the altar. As the ancient saying goes: bathing and burning incense are acts of piety, and this is the truth!
