How to pray in Jokhang Temple

Here's what I need to pay attention to when praying:

First, the temple enters the door

There are many doors in the temple building, so you should pay attention to which door to enter. It is said that only temples with lights are qualified to build thirteen gates. The three doors in the middle are for people to enter and leave. Ordinary tourists can only enter through the right door, and the middle door is called an empty door, and only monks can enter and leave. When entering the door, the male guest takes his left foot first, and the female guest takes his right foot first. The bigger the step, the better. At the same time, entering the temple should follow the principle that the left door enters and the right door exits. Note: you must not step on the threshold (it is said that the threshold represents the Buddha's shoulder, and of course you must not step on it). And the salute to 1 and the sixth step means wholeheartedly and smoothly.

Second, the principle of worshipping Buddha.

Wash your hands before worshipping Buddha. Incense should be called "please" instead of "buy". Ordinary people should hold incense in their left hand (it is said that their right hand is unclean, and most people kill things with their right hand).

Third, the principle of incense

1. Light incense with your own fire;

2. Hold the incense stick with the middle finger and forefinger of both hands, and press the thumb against the incense tail;

3. Put it on your chest with the elephant head bottle facing the Buddha icon;

4. Improve Mei Qi again;

5. After that, put it down as the third action;

6. Start splitting with your left hand.

Fourth, matters needing attention in burning incense:

1, I invited the incense myself, and others can't pay for it.

It's best to burn incense with your own fire, and the burning fire will go out immediately. Never blow it out with your mouth.

Buddhists believe that incense can communicate with all saints and is the most extraordinary offering. Burning inferior incense or chemical incense will not only endanger the health of others; Thick smoke is not conducive to environmental protection. In this way, you can't seek happiness, and you will create endless crimes.

You can ask a few boxes of incense to pray on the phaseless copper stove.
