The Buddha pays attention to Zen. Don't put the Buddha statue at the entrance of the gate or on the wall of the room, because the entrance and exit passages are too noisy, which is disrespectful to the Buddha. The entrance to the bathroom and the entrance to the storage room should also be avoided. This place is filthy and profane, and it is easy to cause family disputes.

Methods of worshipping Maitreya Buddha

Worship is an act of reverence for Buddha and Bodhisattva. There are two kinds of worship. One is small worship, that is, the "head ceremony" in the Han Dynasty; The second is the great sacrifice, that is, Tibet's "five-body sacrifice." The method is:

Face to face ceremony

1, stand with palms together, wrist level with the heart, heel about two inches apart, toes about eight inches apart, in a figure of eight. Look at the fingertips in your hand.

2. The right hand comes out first, the left hand is still closed, the waist slowly squats, the right arm stretches forward, the right palm presses down in the center of the mat (or in front of the right knee), the left palm remains still, and the knees kneel down immediately. After kneeling, the left palm extends out and presses on the left side of the worship mat outside the right palm. Don't move or turn your toes when you worship Buddha.

3. Move the right palm forward by half a palm from the right side of the worship pad (or in front of the right knee), flush with the left palm, with the distance between the two palms about six inches and the forehead flat on the ground.

4. Master the virtual fist, palms up, open palms, palms up, and back flat on the ground. This is called "head-to-face, foot-to-foot ceremony". When you land on your head, you touch the ground with your forehead, not your head.

5. When you get up, turn your fists with your hands, open your palms, stick your palms down to the ground, leave your head off the ground or worship the mat, and move your right hand back to the center of the worship mat (or in front of your right knee).

It means that holding the Buddha's feet with both hands can be blessed. It's called a head-to-head ceremony. Another way of saying it is: in ancient times, when children or people with low status asked adults, superiors or elders for goods or money, they opened their palms to accept the requested property. That is to say, to accept the blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattva).

6. Lift your left palm back to your chest, hold your body up with your right palm, and stand up straight with your hands folded.
