What taboos should I pay attention to when going to the temple?

This is smooth sailing. We always encounter all kinds of troubles during the journey, but the surprises and excitement brought by the journey are beyond the reach of ordinary things. Nowadays, people's living standards have been greatly improved. No matter at home or abroad, as long as we have holidays, we will always choose to travel and experience different customs, which is also a great way to enrich our spare time.

Many people will choose some travel itineraries, some historical sites and some ancient temples when traveling, which are also welcomed by many people. China is the second largest country in Buddhism. Many people come to temples to seek peace, health or wealth. Most people just burn incense without knowing that there are some forbidden things in the temple, and many people don't pay much attention to them.

1 point is to go to the temple. Don't touch oil and meat before burning incense. You need to be vegetarian. Because vegetarianism can increase our compassion, which is also a respect for Buddhist bodhisattvas. It will be more effective to burn incense and pray at this time. The second point is that we should go to the right before we enter the temple. Many temples have many doors, and each door is very particular. The middle door is reserved for monks. Ordinary tourists need to enter from the right, and can't step on the threshold. Under normal circumstances, men need to enter from the left and women need to enter from the right.

The third point is, remember not to blow incense with your mouth when burning incense, and don't burn incense with your hands. Generally, we need to hold the candle in the right hand and the incense in the left hand, but in the process of the zodiac, we need the left hand on the top and the right hand on the bottom. All we have to do is lift it up, and the incense will go out, and we can't blow it out with our mouths. Fourth, when we kowtow up and down, we should recognize the Buddha statue, insert the incense into the incense burner before coughing, and raise our hands above our heads. And open your hands and buckle the ground.

These four basic taboos must be remembered. The smallest one is that you can't wear fancy clothes and take pictures of Buddha statues. Many people go to the temple, but we must do our homework before going.
