Taboos for women to go to the Lama Temple

The taboo for women to go to the Lama Temple is not to be exposed, not to make a loud noise, and not to visit suddenly.

1, don't wear it.

When entering, it is advisable to wear light and solemn clothes, and don't wear too much exposure. This is extremely impolite behavior. After entering the Buddhist temple, you should worship the Buddha three times. When burning incense, if there are a large number of members, the delegates can burn incense, or hold fragrant plum blossoms in the same place, and then send them forward in sequence, and the delegates will insert incense in the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue. If you don't know the rules, you should humbly ask the mage for advice.

2. Don't talk loudly.

First, go to the Daxiong Hall to worship Buddha, then go to the temple to worship, and finally go to visit or deal with things. Pay attention to slogans and notices, and abide by the rules and regulations of the Lama Temple. Keep quiet, don't talk loudly and sing in the temple, and don't let the children run around and play. "Worship" is mainly an act of paying tribute to Buddha, Bodhisattva and mage. Worship the Buddha three times on the fifteenth day of the first month.

It is unwise to make a surprise visit.

You should make an appointment in advance to ask the mage to enlighten you, and it is not appropriate to make a surprise visit. Please be respectful when seeking Tao, don't talk about right and wrong, be dignified and answer the master's questions frankly. After asking for instructions, thank Master sincerely before leaving.

He planned to build a high pavilion in the open space in the north of the Lama Temple to provide a giant Buddha as a barrier and to protect peace with the help of Buddha's power.

3. copper cast Sumi mountain
