Why can't the Lama Temple worship casually?

The reason why you can't worship in the Lama Temple is that you must be solemn and pious when you go to worship Buddha, and you can't be too casual.

When entering the Lama Temple, it is very impolite to wear light and solemn clothes. Don't dress too exposed. After entering the Buddhist temple, you should worship the Buddha three times. When burning incense, if there are a large number of members, the delegates can burn incense, or hold fragrant plum blossoms in the same place, and then send them forward in sequence, and the delegates will insert incense in the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue. If you don't know the rules, you should humbly ask the mage for advice.

To worship Buddha, you should first go to the Hall of the Great Hero to worship Buddha, then go to the main halls to worship Buddha, and finally go to visit or handle things. Pay attention to slogans and notices, and abide by the rules and regulations of the Lama Temple. Keep quiet, don't talk loudly and sing in the temple, and don't let the children run around and play. "Worship" is mainly an act of paying tribute to buddhas, bodhisattvas and wizards. Worship the Buddha three times on the fifteenth day of the first month.

The Lama Temple is very effective. When I first went to the Lama Temple to burn incense, I made a wish for peace. If my wish comes true, I will realize it the next year, so that the Buddha will not blame me. Men should take their right feet first, and women should take their left feet first. Don't take the middle door.

Taboos in Lama Temple:

1. Avoid inappropriate names: monks in temples should be called "teachers" or "wizards", and monks in charge should be called "elders", "abbots" and "Zen masters". Monks in the Lama Temple call them "lamas", which means "guru". Avoid calling them "monks", "monks" or even other insulting names.

2. Avoid inappropriate etiquette: When meeting monks, the usual way to salute is to put your hands together and bow your head slightly, or put your hands vertically on your chest with your head slightly lower. Don't use improper manners, such as shaking hands and hugging. As for touching the monk's head, it is uncivilized and polite.

3. Don't behave inappropriately: When visiting the temple, don't talk loudly, give directions and discuss, don't wander around and fiddle with things in the temple, especially don't touch and carve statues. If you encounter Buddhist activities, you can stand still or leave quietly. If you bring a baby, you should take good care of him (her) and avoid doing impolite things because he is young and ignorant.
