Chinese Praying Material – A Guide to
Buying Chinese Prayers
Chinese praying mats are among the most popular prayer materials used by Buddhists in China
and Tibet. Joss, or Joss Paper, is a prayer paper commonly used in China and Tibet. Joss
comes from the Joss plant, which grows wild in many Asian countries, including Japan, Korea
and other Asia-Pacific nations JinPaper. Joss is the plural of the English word “joss,” meaning prayer.
Joss Paper is made from the bark of the Joss tree.
Chinese praying joss can be found in Joss Stick form, which is a prayer mat made with strips of
joss paper that are dyed in different colors. Joss Stick prayer mats are popular as they are large
enough to be placed flat on the floor. They are very durable and they do not get easily stuck in
curbs, which is one of the reasons why they are so popular in Asia. Chinese prayer mats also
come in a number of different sizes, some of which are rectangular and some are square.

Joss candles are also popular in the Chinese culture. In Buddhism, all Bodhisattvas, or religious
leaders, have a collection of candles that represent the attributes of the Buddha in each prayer.
Chinese candles are not always candles that burn down, but they are worshiped instead.
Chinese candles are usually worshiped for various reasons, such as for their incantation with
powerful religious energies or as a manifestation of the God. Chinese religious literature
describes the candle burning as a cosmic process.
Chinese prayer candles come in many shapes and colors, including the traditional green prayer
candle. There are joss candles that have been carved in the shape of religious objects, animals,
or landscape designs. Some of these candles are more elaborately carved, while others are
made more simple with just a flat bowl with a hole in it. One type of joss candle is called a
tealight candle. This is a green, multicolored candle that has a single tealight inside of it.
Chinese prayer most candles are typically available in several different scents. The more
expensive types of joss candles are more fragrant than the ones that are considered to be of
medium quality. Chinese candles are available in an array of different scents, which makes them
even more desirable to people who are not able to partake in a Chinese religious ceremony due
to health reasons. A great many people purchase their tealight candles from Chinese companies
due to the fact that the products do not contain any artificial fragrances, color, or scent. Some
companies also offer handmade Chinese joss candles.

When purchasing a Chinese prayer joss candle, there are several things that you should keep in
mind. For example, most of these candles will have either a gold ring or a silver ring around the
forehead. These two items will be the only embellishments that the Chinese praying joss candle
has. You can choose which type of ring you want to use, and you can often see examples of
both of these styles on the websites of the different Chinese companies that make these
candles. The ring on the top of the candle shows respect for the Chinese religion and shows that
the person buying the candle wants to show respect for the Chinese.

Another thing that you will often see on Chinese prayer joss candles is artwork of Chinese
characters. These are often seen as being on the sides or the bodies of the candle. Some of the
characters will be in Chinese, while others will be translated to show respect for the culture of
the Chinese people. There is no way to really know what these characters mean, other than to

know that they were created by someone who understands Chinese culture. This is another
reason that the Chinese characters are added onto the bottom of the candle; it shows respect
for their culture.
The last type of Chinese lamp you will often see is a Chinese lamp made from fragrances or
incense sticks. Most of these fragrances or incenses are harvested from the Chinese terracotta
trees. They are harvested by machine, so you do not have to worry about the Chinese monks
harvesting them manually, unlike the wu long tea lamps that many people often see in Chinese
restaurants. The fragrances and incense sticks are then put into the long bamboo frames that
the candle is placed inside of.
