Fortune-telling is said to be fortune-telling under a wick _ lamp.

Is there any saying that the wick falls off when the temple lights up?

Hello!

There seems to be no explanation for this.

Lighting lamps is indeed recorded in Buddhism.

No matter which Buddhism has been handed down, lighting lamps is a common practice in any country.

In the Buddha's time, disciples lit lanterns for the Buddha to show their respect. Because of this, it brings great merit. Light represents light, and darkness has been removed.

Isn't there a story? One night, the Buddha came out for a walk and saw that all the lights outside were out, only one was left. It turned out that a poor woman provided the lamp. She cut off a beautiful long hair and got a lamp. This sincere lamp has not gone out.

Therefore, the key point is to sincerely serve the Buddha.

Any temple has some lights.

A modern practice, feeding light bulbs. In Thailand, people have already started to do this. Actually, I'm not afraid that donations will be abused.
