What are the things to pay attention to when praying?1. The temple is a very special place, almost isolated from the world but connected to it. It has nothing to do with the secular world, so if you go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, you must check whether your clothes are appropriate before going there. Remember not to wear clothes with too bright colors in the temple.2. Be pious in your heart, be a vegetarian, keep your hands clean, do not make loud noises or say irrelevant "nagging" in the temple, do not point at Buddha statues with your fingers, and do not make loud noises or say disrespectful words. Another more important point is that you should not make random wishes, because wishes must be fulfilled; if you are not sure you can do it, don't make a wish. 2. In fact, burning incense itself is a very good thing. It is certainly useful to pray to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for longevity, health, freedom from illness and disaster, and family harmony. But remember, don't ignore the main issues and only talk about the secondary issues. The worst thing to do when burning incense is to say: “Gods and Buddhas, please let me make so much money…” These requests are contrary to Buddhism. People who choose to burn incense, worship Buddha and pray to Bodhisattva for their own selfish reasons will not be able to obtain the protection of Buddha and Bodhisattva. 4. There are certain rules for the number of incense sticks burned when worshiping Buddha. There are also some homophones in our lives, such as four means death. When worshiping Buddha, most of the incense sticks burned are in odd numbers. The most common number is three. Although there is no explicit rule, this is the culture that has been passed down for a long time. |
