What should you pay attention to when going to Mount Putuo to worship Bodhisattva?

1. Sincerity leads to spirituality. As long as you have Buddha in your heart, Bodhisattvas will bless you.

2. Women cannot go during their period. It is best not to wear suspenders, shorts or skirts when going to worship the Bodhisattva. This is a sign of respect for the Bodhisattva. 3. Bring incense, fruits, cakes, water, tea bags, sesame oil, and flowers.

3. Before the Bodhisattva or Buddha you made a wish to, kneel down three times and kowtow nine times, and then silently recite your name in your heart, how old you are, when you made the wish, what kind of wish you made, and what you want to fulfill the wish for. .

4. If you can read sutras, recite sutras and then dedicate them to all living beings and the Bodhisattva who made the wish.

5. Kneel down and kowtow nine times again and it is over. As for the price of sesame oil, it depends on your own wishes, or you should fulfill your wish as you promised when you made the wish.

Putuo Mountain - common sense of burning incense

High incense, guaranteed incense, wishing incense and votive incense. Most people go there to burn incense to wish for peace and health, promotion and wealth, etc. Burning high-level incense usually prays for something specific, and you have to burn votive incense again. ?When Buddhists burn incense, it is generally appropriate to use three incense sticks, because the three incense sticks represent offerings: the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.

When burning incense, insert the first stick in the middle and silently recite "Offer to the Buddha, be aware and not confused"; insert the second stick on the right side and silently recite "Offer the Dharma, righteous but not evil"; insert the third stick on the left side and silently recite "Support the Buddha" Monk, pure and undefiled.” Some pilgrims are keen to buy expensive "rich incense" or burn a lot of it at one time. In fact, burning incense and worshiping Buddha is a spiritual thing. ?

When entering the temple, try not to walk in the middle. Go up the edge of the stairs, with men on the left and women on the right. When entering, try not to walk through the main entrance, with men on the left and women on the right. Try to step with your right foot when entering, and also when going out. Just go out from the side door and don't step on the threshold (it is said that stepping on it is disrespectful to the Bodhisattva). Your heart should be pious and your hands should be clean; don't point at the Buddha statues with your fingers, and don't make loud noises or speak disrespectful words.

Another important point is that you cannot make random wishes, because you must fulfill your wish. If you are not sure that you can fulfill it, don't make a wish.
