Notes on praying:1. Clothing must be modest, never too revealing or strange, and it is not appropriate to wear slippers or a hat into a temple. These are basic respects for the gods.2. Avoid loud noises. Although each temple worships different gods, they all hope to purify people's hearts, so your words and actions must be gentle. 3. Prepare 3-5 offerings such as seasonal fruits and biscuits, but they must be odd numbers (because odd numbers are yang numbers). You can also prepare incense, gold paper, etc., depending on the regulations of each temple. Fruits suitable for worship: apples, peaches, plums, dates, grapefruits, pomeloes, oranges, etc. Fruits that cannot be offered for worship: tomatoes, guavas, sugar apples, and durian. Special attention: 1. After attending a funeral or farewell ceremony, you can go to the temple on the same day to remove the bad energy from your body. 2. People with deceased third-degree relatives must wait 49 days before visiting the temple to worship. Otherwise, entering the temple in mourning clothes may violate taboos. 3. The mother must complete the confinement period before she can go to worship. 4. It is best for women not to worship during their menstrual period. There are four aspects to the meaning of burning incense:1. To show sincere and respectful offerings to the Three Jewels, and to demonstrate and guide sentient beings.2. It means transmitting information to the void Dharma Realm and gaining blessings from the Three Treasures in all directions. 3. It means burning oneself to spread fragrance to all directions, reminding Buddhist disciples to make selfless contributions. 4. It means that the Buddhists' precepts, concentration and true incense have been lit, which contains the silent vow to "diligently cultivate precepts, concentration and wisdom, and extinguish greed, noise and ignorance". The Buddha does not like the big and expensive incense in the world, but he likes the precepts, concentration, truth and incense of his disciples. It is best to burn three incense sticks. This represents the three non-leakage studies of precepts, concentration and wisdom; it also represents the offerings to the permanent Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. This is the most complete and civilized way of burning incense and offering. It is not the number of incense sticks you burn that matters, but the sincerity of your heart. As the saying goes, "Burn three civilized incense sticks and offer a sincere heart." Generally, it is enough to light three incense sticks in front of the main hall. After lighting the incense, they should be inserted in the middle of the incense burner. The first incense stick should be inserted in the middle, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the Buddha, awakening and not being confused; the second incense stick should be inserted on the right, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the Dharma, being righteous and not evil; the third incense stick should be inserted on the left, and you should silently recite in your heart: offering to the monks, being pure and not being tainted.
