If you go to the Lama Temple in Beijing, what should you pay attention to?

In the early morning of New Year's Day, many people worship Buddha. Speaking of worshipping Buddha, some people think it is best to worship Buddha on the first day of the New Year. Not really. The ancients said: "There are flowers in spring, a moon in autumn, a breeze in summer and snow in winter;" If you have nothing to worry about, it is a good time on earth. " It should be said that every day is a good day, and the key lies in our hearts. What's more, worshipping Buddha requires peace and understanding. During the Spring Festival, people put on new clothes and come to the Lama Temple to welcome the New Year. On the back of the tickets people bought, there was a message from the abbot of the Lama Temple: Welcome to the Lama Temple at six o'clock in the new year, and wish your family good luck. Believers hold three lighted incense sticks, pay homage to the Buddha and gently insert them into the incense burner. When it comes to burning incense in front of the Buddha statue, it is actually enough to burn only one, usually three, which means to respect the Buddha, the law, the monk, or to get rid of greed, anger and stupidity. You should know that respecting the three treasures and abstaining from the three poisons are all in your heart and in your usual practice. Instead of burning a lot of incense, you can stay at a respectful distance and avoid it. It should be said that there is no fixed law, no regular persistence, and extensive charity is the foundation. From people's quiet prayers and happy smiles, we can see their satisfaction with life and their confidence and hope for the future. After entering the Lama Temple, people can see silk printed prayer flags hanging on flagpoles and temples. The center of each prayer flag is painted with a pack BMW symbolizing prosperity, and scriptures are printed between the patterns. This flag is called "Fengmaqi", which is an important part of Tibetan culture and has a profound historical origin. Pieces of small flags dance with the wind, pinning people's good wishes. In fact, during several Buddhist festivals every year, the Lama Temple hangs rows of colorful flags and wordless wind horse flags in the courtyard, so it flutters between the blue sky and white clouds year after year, just like praying for the country and the people.

After entering the temple, the believers marched clockwise to worship the Buddha and Bodhisattva. Politeness also has implications. Putting your hands together is called "crossing your hands", which means peace, friendship, unity and success. When closed, the palm is slightly arched and bent, and there is a gap between the palm and the fingers, indicating that you are aware of the void. Put your hands together on your chest near your heart to show respect for the awakened one.
