Is it really just superstition that temples forbid tourists to photograph Buddha statues?

Nowadays, Buddhist culture is recognized by more and more people, and Buddhist culture has been better spread. More and more people will go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha during travel or holidays to pray for themselves and their families. For careful friends, it may have been found that most temples are forbidden to take pictures. Monks will stop you when taking pictures, and some temples even post them directly? No photos? Tell me. In fact, this is not superstitious behavior, but the protection of Buddha statues.

We go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha mainly to pray for peace, but there is an unwritten rule about worshipping Buddha? Hidden rules? That is to be sincere. If we keep going to the temple to photograph the Buddha, then the Buddha will definitely think that you are insincere and will adversely affect your future fortune. Although this statement is short? Superstition? Color, but this is really disrespectful to the Buddha.

Indeed, it is mainly to protect the Buddha statue. Many temples have a history of hundreds or even thousands of years, and the facilities in the temples are very old. Taking pictures in dark places, we all like to turn on the flash to fill the light. However, the magnesium light released by the flash will damage the gold foil attached to the Buddha statue. Even if you don't flash when taking pictures, ultraviolet rays will be generated when taking pictures. Many people know that ultraviolet rays are harmful to human body. In addition to the human body, it will also have an adverse impact on the wood, sculpture and other facilities in the temple. If you take pictures for a long time, the sculptures and wood of the temple will easily lose their luster, and the renovation will consume huge manpower and material resources.

In fact, in addition to temples, many scenic spots will also prohibit taking pictures. Because if tourists often take pictures, it is easy to cause congestion, and they don't use it to maintain order. In the event of an accident such as crowding and trampling, the consequences are unimaginable.

Now everyone carries their mobile phones with them, and they like to take out their mobile phones to take pictures when they encounter interesting things. However, we must pay attention to special occasions such as temples and prohibit taking pictures.
