Lighting incense, Buddha or Guan Yin, or burning Hell Bank Notes for their ancestors, or provide Food for the Hungry Ghost? No, Zippey, which are Chinese Buddhist practices. Close though.
Are not only Incense Incense? If this is the case, incense is a part of Buddhist practice in general as an offering to the Buddha / bodhisattva. The food is an offering for hungry ghosts Act of devotion to the hungry ghosts, because normal food work for them to suffer. By the prescription of the Buddha on the procedures during the meal to the Sangha can use this offer to the hungry ghosts to bring every day. How the hell bank notes, I have not seen that done in the ordinary Buddhist practice. As the incense and meat offerings, I've seen that on a regular basis done here in the U.S.. The patriarch claimed that the Dharma in the West here in the U.S. from China were Chinese, but his main effort in the teaching of Buddhism denounces the corrupt influences in Chinese Buddhism and common schools / sects, to teach all the right Dharma and the Buddha originally whole doctrine. Thus, the temple founded by this master in the U.S. have all these traditions, the lighting of incense and offerings. And Buddhism taught is not really Chinese or Western Buddhism Buddhism. It is only the Buddhism of the Buddha's teachings.
