What are the rules for going to the temple to worship?

Our country has always had only one belief, and most people believe in Taoism or Buddhism, so there are many temples in China. On holidays, many people in China will choose to go to temples to worship Buddha and pray. Because of this, many temples are now developing tourism to attract China people to visit.

But what the donkey friends don't know is that going to the temple to worship God also needs to pay attention to many rules. Just like these four rules, many monks say that tourists who don't know it will be of great help to you. I didn't know at first, so I asked some knowledgeable donkey friends, and they said:

The first is dressing up. We have all watched TV series, even if the emperor worships heaven and earth, it is very grand. There are more than a dozen procedures for taking a shower and changing clothes, so you can only wash it thoroughly by yourself. The same is true of church. Some believers or devout people usually take a bath at home, put on formal clothes or go to worship, so that their prayers will be more effective. If you wear fancy clothes, do you think it is important for many monks? An eyesore? Yes

The second is the number of sacrifices. Let's talk briefly about the amount of incense burned. I believe that many tourists are artificial. The more incense you burn, the more you can show their sincerity. Actually, it's not. Just light three incense sticks. There are three kinds of sayings here: 1, holding your head three feet high and lighting three incense is also because of this; 2. These three incense sticks represent Buddhism and Dharma Body respectively. With their blessing, what they think is effective; 3. The fragrance on the left represents the land, which is endowed with fertile land. The incense in the middle represents ancestors and wishes future generations. The fragrance on the right represents the sky, wishing good weather. So this is the origin of Sanxiang!

Then let's look at the third, burning incense gesture. Many tourists ignore the importance of gestures when they go to worship. Generally speaking, when holding incense, their left hand is in front and their right hand is behind. And you can't blow the incense out with your mouth, you should blow it out by shaking. This is the correct incense burning posture. In fact, it is very brief here, and interested donkey friends can get to know it.

The last rule is that many temples do not have only one gate, and the gate that tourists see is the passage for monks to walk. If you want to burn incense and worship god, you have to go in through the side door. At present, few temples do this, because they all involve tourism development, and it is best to make tourists easy to understand.

However, personally, this also loses the purity of the temple! What are the different views of donkey friends? Welcome to leave a comment below to express your opinion!
