What preparations should be made for prayer?

1. Awe
Some people who enter a temple always emphasize various rules, paying special attention to burning incense, worshiping Buddha, eating meals, and walking. In fact, etiquette is important, but a pious and respectful heart is more valuable. The fifty-two stages from ordinary people to Buddhahood begin with the Ten Stages of Faith. Eliminating doubts and generating faith are the foundation for entering the path. At the same time, you must value liberation. If you have come to Buddhism by chance, but only seek blessings in the human and heavenly realms, or even fame and fortune in this world, and ignore the method of liberation, then you have misunderstood and let down Buddhism.
2. Change your mindset
Before entering the temple, you must humble yourself, subdue your mind, and not be arrogant or bring the social desire for fame, wealth, and competitiveness into the temple. We should also reduce worries in our hearts and "only look at the good side" and "don't blame others if they are not right". You should know that the severity of your troubles can measure the size of your progress.
3. Dietary precautions
In terms of diet, please do not eat garlic, onions, fish, alcohol, betel nuts, or smoke before worshiping the Buddha. Otherwise, it would be quite disrespectful to pray to the Buddha. It is impolite to have a foul smell in your mouth when talking to people and will make people reject you, let alone when worshiping Buddha!
4. Wash your body
Before we go to worship Buddha, we should cleanse our body first. Especially after going to the toilet, you must wash your hands with soap and not be careless.
