Four straightforward stages to help temples launch the Ping An temple blessing incense program
Initial preparation
- Confirm temple blessing incense dimensions
- Temple posts announcement and informational signage
Two months before inaugural lighting
- Ideal timing: temple anniversary, Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival
Devotee enrollment

- Craft team delivers temple blessing incense to the temple in monthly batches
Ongoing partnership

- Evaluate renewal in the second year
Even One Devotee Represents a Prayer
Production fees are calculated based on the actual number of devotees participating in the incense offering, with no minimum participant requirement. The Association charges only an annual inscription and incense production fee of NT$400 per devotee, whether for the principal incense sponsor, golden name inscription, or standard name inscription. All other offering fees are independently determined and collected by the temple, and remain with the temple for incense offerings, ritual services, temple operations, and temple outreach.
Even if only one devotee makes a sincere incense offering, the Association is willing to help bring this prayer to fulfillment, with no minimum number of participants required.
