Can I go to the temple to pray for my menstruation?

You can go to the temple to pray for your menstruation.

Burning incense, worshiping Buddha, making a wish, making a wish or praying in a temple are all done according to one's own wishes, and menstruation is a physiological phenomenon of women, which is beyond one's control and cannot be stopped. According to Master Yin Guang, the 13th ancestor of Pure Land Sect, there are related expressions on paper money. The original text is: Women have menstruation from the age of 12 to 489. There is a saying that when you come to menstruation, don't worship or recite, which makes no sense.

As long as the physical conditions permit, you can go to the temple during the physiological period or pregnancy, or you can recite the scriptures in front of the Buddha, worship the Buddha and recite the scriptures in the temple, which has nothing to do with normal physiological phenomena. Monks who become monks also practice in Zhong Ni Dojo every day, and there is no taboo or impropriety. Buddhism does not stipulate that pregnant women cannot enter the temple to worship Buddha and recite scriptures.

Precautions for praying in temples

1, dress up

First of all, it is dressing up. Temples should be awe-inspiring places, not parks downstairs when walking. Therefore, since you plan to burn incense and worship Buddha in the temple, you should first pay attention to your clothes. Shorts and slippers are not allowed. Burning incense and worshipping Buddha should be dressed appropriately and simply, and don't wear too bright clothes.

2. Getting Started Guide

The common gate of a temple building has two side doors. Only Buddhist disciples can take the empty door in the middle, and we tourists usually take the side door.

3. Don't make noise

The temple is a clean place. Pilgrims are not allowed to talk loudly, laugh or jump, and be careful not to yawn, fart and other indecent behaviors. When others worship Buddha, we should bypass others' backs and don't pass directly in front of them.
