Can I take pictures of the Buddha statue in the temple?

Because now the mobile phone is fully functional and the camera has the function of flash, the Buddha statues in the temple are all covered with gold foil. If you take a picture with a flash, it will have some chemical reactions with the gold foil. It doesn't matter much if you do it once or twice, but there are too many people coming and going in the temple and taking pictures, which will affect the chemical reaction of the gold foil of the Buddha statue, which will seriously make the gold foil fall off and affect the beauty of the Buddha statue. In addition, the murals in the temple will also be seriously affected.

Therefore, when you go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha and take photos, the temple staff will come out in time to stop it. Therefore, Bian Xiao suggested that if you travel to the temple, you must abide by the rules and regulations in the park, because the temple is also a very sacred place, and its purpose is only to burn incense and pray. We must protect these cultural relics. This can also improve one's quality and purify one's mind.

Matters needing attention

1. If you want to burn incense to Buddha and Bodhisattva to show piety and respect, you can ask incense at the incense burner in the temple. Generally, the number of incense is three, so it is not necessary to pay special attention to the thickness of incense. A clean heart is the most important thing. When burning incense, for safety reasons, don't burn incense in the hall, but burn incense in the big incense burner outside the hall.

Before entering the main hall, you should bow to the Buddha and Bodhisattva icon. If you need to leave in an emergency, ask clearly to show your respect. Asking is not nodding, you must bend over 90 degrees or slightly weaker, but not too low. No matter how many Buddha statues are enshrined in the temple, it is generally enough to worship the Buddha three times. Personal practice is to listen to his wishes, and it should also be a multiple of three.
