The answer is yes: of course.

In Buddhist classics, there is never a record that women cannot worship Buddha during menstruation.

When Buddha was admired and worshipped in the world, he didn't ask if the women who came to worship him were on their menstrual period. If they were, go back and don't worship me!

Do women need the protection of amulets during their menstrual period? Will the gods and Buddhas not guard because of a woman's menstrual period?

The saying that "you cannot enter the temple to worship Buddha during menstruation" comes from the Chinese folk custom of worshiping ancestors. Since ancestors become gods and yang is very strong, women who are menstruating are prohibited from entering when worshiping ancestors.

The reason is that firstly, women are yin, and they will fight against it; secondly, ancestor sacrifices came from ancient times, when scientific knowledge was not popularized, and menstruation came from the lower body and the same source as excrement and urine, which was unclean, and thirdly, blood represented war, disaster and bleeding, not It is auspicious, so women during menstruation are prohibited from offering sacrifices to their ancestors. Then it was gradually misunderstood by later generations, and it was extended to the misunderstanding that "you cannot enter the temple to worship Buddha during the menstrual period".

Buddhist novice nuns, nuns, and upasians who live nearby are all female practitioners who live in monasteries and are accompanied by scriptures, images and dharma objects every day. . They all live and practice inside, and Buddhas are enshrined everywhere. Could it be that they have to move to stay outside the temple for a few days? It can be seen that the saying that "you cannot enter the temple to worship Buddha during menstruation" is a false legend. So you just go to the Buddha and offer incense.

No matter whether a woman is menstruating or not, there is no problem as long as you keep your hands clean when wearing or touching amulets. Therefore, women during menstruation need not worry about wearing amulets.

However, women should pay attention to personal hygiene and clean them in time during their menstrual period. After using the toilet or changing certain items, wash your hands before touching the amulet or offering incense to the Buddha.

Therefore, the sayings that women are not allowed to worship Buddha and wear amulets during their menstrual period is completely nonsense!
