Are there any particular requirements for visiting a temple?

What to wear <br /> On the first day, you need to go to the temple to burn incense, and you need to purify yourself the night before. Nerves mean washing away the dust on your body and tidying yourself up a little. What the editor means by "neat" here is not how luxurious your clothes should be, but clean and tidy. The clothes are not exaggerated or alternative.
Buddha worship etiquette <br /> People who come to worship Buddha must have a pious heart and clean hands, because their hands must be clean for bowing and holding incense. When you come to worship Buddha, please be careful when speaking in the temple, do not talk or make noise. Don't point fingers at any Buddha statue. As there are many people coming to worship Buddha, there are many cushions in the main hall. Please be careful not to step over the cushions when burning incense and worshiping Buddha, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful.
Number of incense sticks burned <br /> When burning incense to worship Buddha, the number of incense sticks is also particular. Three sticks are for praying for yourself, six sticks are for praying for two generations, and nine sticks are for praying for three generations. And thirteen is an extreme; thirteen incense sticks are high incense that represents complete merit. It is to burn incense and kowtow. This is also the highest standard. Usually, I just burn three incense sticks when I worship Buddha.
Holding incense <br /> When burning incense, you should hold the incense with your left hand. When burning incense, the incense should be lit all at once, and the stronger the better. If the fire is still not out after lighting the incense, do not blow it with your mouth. Just hold it horizontally and shake it up and down. The wind will blow it out. When burning incense, hold the incense at the bottom with your right hand and raise it above your head to bow. After bowing, you can place the incense in your hand into the incense burner.
Taboos of worshipping Buddha <br /> There are many taboos of burning incense and worshipping Buddha, and it is best for women not to burn incense during menstruation. In summer, when women go to temples to worship Buddha, they must not wear miniskirts or clothes that expose their chests and backs, as this is impolite. If you bring children to worship Buddha, please take good care of your children and do not let them run and play in the temple. Disturbing the Buddha's purity.
