Visualize yourself as a stick of incense. Then, someone approaches, lighting a matchstick. Subsequently, this person brings the small flame to the tip of the incense, and in that very moment, you start to burn away.

As you are burning, your body gives off a lovely fragrant smell. This fragrance spreads through the air and brings joy and happiness to people’s heart. The person then offers you to the Buddha. You are being put into an incense pot. You stand happily in the incense pot because you know that you have an important role to play. The fragrance you emanate symbolizes the essence of pure moral conduct. Consequently, this serves as a reminder for people to cultivate good conduct.

This fragrance spreads in all directions through out the world. As you are burning away, you also remind people to try and burn away their bad, unkind or selfish thoughts. Consequently, they should endeavor to be like you, by burning away their selfish acts and in turn, bringing fragrance and happiness to the world. Let every breath, that everyone breathes out into the world be full of sweetness and love. Continue to spread your fra grance in all directions.
