We sentient beings all rejoice in the fragrance, but don't get fragrance. Why? Because of not keeping the precepts, indulge all the time. Heavenly people, with the achievement of merit, therefore, there is always a fragrant fragrance on the body, when people smell it, there is a cool feeling. When the celestial beings don't spread the fragrance, proof that death is coming, this time, the signal is issued, the so-called "five decays appear together".
We mortals do not keep the precepts, so the body emits a fox odor, people smell it, vomiting for three days. Ladies and rich ladies, because of the smell of the body, buy expensive perfumes at a high price, sprinkled on clothes and body, to alleviate the smell, this is only a temporary effect. This aroma is artificial, not natural. If you want to put fragrance on your body, hurry up and keep the precepts. This is the way to solve the problem from the root.
