Can I take a picture of the Buddha statue?

Generally speaking, temples are not allowed to take pictures of Buddha statues. First of all, the flash will damage the Buddha statue. The second is disrespect for the Buddha. Of course, you are using the Zhuang Yan method of Buddha and Bodhisattva to alert yourself, and you are taking pictures from the scriptures. If you are sincere, there should be no mistakes. However, it may not be appropriate to use Buddha as a screen saver, because we often carry our mobile phones with us or in our bags, and sometimes we also carry them when we go to the toilet. This is probably not very good. It is not recommended to do screen saver. Amitabha!
