Can Buddhist temples take photos by themselves?

There are several reasons why you can't take pictures:

1. From the perspective of cultural relics protection units, tourists will naturally use flashlights when taking photos, because the lighting in the museum is generally dim, and the illumination of flashlights is not conducive to the protection of statues and murals, which will accelerate their fading and aging.

2. From the perspective of imitating ancient images, if the pictures are published or made public on the Internet, it is necessary to consult with the competent authorities. Once authorized, the photographed images should also be archived.

3. Going to the temple to worship Buddha is also a kind of belief. In order to pray for Buddha's blessing, there must be initial respect and awe. For these reasons, don't just take pictures of Buddha statues in temples.

Please note the following points:

1, wear clean: It is predicted that you will go to the temple to burn incense on the first day, and you need to clean yourself the night before. Nerve is to wash away the dust on your body and make yourself tidy.

2. Instructions for entering the temple: Burning incense and worshipping Buddha is also taboo. It's not that monks and nuns had better not go through the middle door. The door in the middle is called an empty door, and only monks can enter and leave. And the children on both sides can be used for pilgrims to come in and out. When entering the door, you need to pay attention. Women walk with their right feet, while men walk with their left feet. Never step on the threshold, it is disrespectful to the Buddha. Just jump in and cross.

3, Buddha worship etiquette: people who come to worship Buddha should be pious, their hands should be clean, because they want to take incense, so they should be clean. Pay attention when you come to the temple to worship Buddha. Don't talk and make noise. Don't point fingers at any Buddha statue. Because there are many people coming to worship Buddha and there are many futons in the main hall, you should be careful not to cross the futon when burning incense to worship Buddha, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful.

4, the number of incense: burning incense to worship Buddha, the number of incense is also exquisite. Three wicks pray for themselves, six wicks pray for two generations and nine wicks pray for three generations. Thirteen is an extreme, and thirteen wick incense is a high fragrance of complete merit. Is to burn incense and kowtow. This is also the highest specification. Generally speaking, it is better for me to worship Buddha three times.
