Notes on fulfilling your vow:

1. Entering the temple: After entering the temple gate, it is not advisable to walk straight in the center. You should walk along your left arm when moving forward or backward. When entering the palace, it is best to carry your hat and cane with you or leave them in another room. Do not place it on the Buddhist table.
2. Position: The prayer mat in the center of the main hall is for the temple master and you should not pray on it. Instead, you should pray on the benches on both sides, with men on the left and women on the right. Do not walk in front of anyone who is praying.
3. Reading scriptures: If there are scriptures for public reading in the temple, it is advisable to sit upright and read. You must wash your hands first, place them flat on the table and read them. Do not hold the scroll in your hand or place them on your knees. Clothes, hats and other items should especially not be placed on scriptures.
4. Meeting a monk: When meeting a monk, call him "Master" or "Great Monk". When you bow to them, if they bow once, you do not have to force them to bow again. Ordinary people should not bow to him when they are worshiping Buddha, meditating, chanting scriptures, eating, sleeping, walking, or going to the toilet.
5. Dharma instruments: The bells and drums in the temple should not be struck without permission, and the robes, cassocks and other items should not be moved without permission.
6. Listening to the sutra: Follow the others in bowing and taking a seat. If you arrive later and the master has already taken his seat, you must bow to the Buddha, then take a step back and bow to the master again. After taking a seat, do not greet acquaintances, sit still, cough or talk. If you cannot listen to the whole thing, you may bow to the master and leave quietly. You are not allowed to ask others to leave.
