I'm going to visit Lingyin Temple. What should Buddhist sites pay attention to?

1, it is not recommended to eat meat and fish in temples. Buddhist monks in the Han Dynasty were all vegetarians and did not eat meat. Meat mainly refers to vegetables, vegetables and grasses, such as garlic, onions and leeks, all of which are meat. According to the Buddhist Shurangama Sutra, this kind of meat is easy to be bored when eaten raw, and it is easy to fuel our lust when cooked, so monks don't eat it. Living animals are not allowed to eat.

2. It is recommended not to take photos in the temple. Photography can only be said to be a convenience. Buddha is as respected as our parents and elders, and we are not allowed to touch Buddha and Bodhisattva with our hands. This is bad and disrespectful to Buddhism and Buddhism.

3, clothes should be neat, not just vest, shorts, shirtless, slippers.

4. When religious ceremonies are held in temples, you can't interfere loudly. Buddhist temple is a clean holy land.

5, don't take the initiative to shake hands with monks and nuns, because this is not in line with Buddhist etiquette, monks and nuns often take "folding" as a gift.

Extended data:

In Buddhism, there are many names of temples: for example, "temple" did not refer to Buddhist temples at first. Since the Qin Dynasty, official houses have often been called temples. In the Han Dynasty, the places where western monks lived were also called temples. Since then, "Temple" has gradually become the special name of Buddhist architecture in China. "Temple" is a new name for Buddhist architecture in China to show respect for Buddhism after Buddhism was introduced into China.

In Taoism, there are many names for temples: in the early days of Taoism, its religious organizations and places were called "places of governance". Also known as Lu, Jing and Bao Jing.
