To sum up, ask what is not allowed in the temple and what is not allowed on your own side. If you don't correct your body and mind, you will continue to do evil and accumulate virtue, seek the blessing of Bodhisattva with gains and losses, and seek the health and safety of material wealth. This is really superstition. Buddha and Bodhisattva are pure dharma bodies, and always hope and help all sentient beings to return, so that they can benefit from the present consciousness. Understand this truth, you can worship anywhere, and you are sincere. Good luck at six o'clock!
