What should I pay attention to when burning incense and worshiping Buddha in a temple?

Temples are very common religious places in our daily life. Almost every city in China has temples. Some people think that it is feudal superstition to burn incense and worship Buddha in temples, but many people think that it is better to believe in it than not to believe in it. On holidays, it is also the peak time for people to burn incense and worship Buddha, and it is also the most prosperous time for temples to burn incense. In order to realize their good wishes, people will burn incense and worship Buddha all the way. We are also particular about burning incense and worshipping Buddha.

The amount of incense burned. The more incense, the better. You can usually light three incense sticks. You should show sincerity to the Buddha, and the incense sticks must burn brightly, and then say what you pray for. On the other hand, it is also a tribute to the Buddha to master the method of holding incense with both hands, adhere to the principle of upper left and lower right, and raise your hands above your head.

When burning incense, you must wash your hands to ensure that there is no dirt on your hands, which is more pious. Never blow incense with your mouth when burning incense. You can't put saliva on incense. You must wait for the incense to go out. One more thing is very important. When you insert incense into the incense burner, remember that once you insert it, you can't move it, let alone pull it out, otherwise it will be disrespectful.

After burning incense, I will go to the temple to worship Buddha. Usually there are several doors in the temple. Which door should we go in from? In fact, the door in the middle of the temple is for the disciples and practitioners of the temple. As tourists, we should not enter the temple through the middle door. Only tourists can enter the small doors on both sides of the temple. No matter rich people or ordinary people, they will regularly go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha and pray for spiritual comfort.

Finally, you can't take a photo with the Buddha statue. Because the Buddha statues in some places have a long history. If we take pictures, the flash on it will damage the Buddha statue, which is not easy to repair. Another point is that the Buddha statue is sacred. It is disrespectful for you to take pictures in front of the Buddha statue. And the dress must conform to the norms. Men and women, no matter what season, don't wear clothes that show too much.
