If a Buddha and Bodhisattva are worshipped, one Buddha lamp can be worshipped, and it is ok to put two Buddha lamps.
candles may not be supplied, and if they are supplied, it is better to have two red candles in pairs, but it is also possible not to supply them.
oil lamps and candles can be put out after you knock your head, or before the incense burns out. Avoid burning only lamps and candles without offering incense, which is easy to be spiritual.
Lotus lanterns or candle lanterns can be used, but the premise is that there must be a real Buddha lantern and candle, and it can't last 24 hours. Under normal circumstances, you can turn it on when you kowtow, and turn off the lotus lamp and candle lamp before the incense burns out.
put out the candle, the oil lamp and the electric light before the incense burns out. Oil lamps and candles can only be covered, not blown with your mouth.
It's easy to attract spirituality if the lotus lamp or candle lamp is turned on for a long time.
offering vegetarian oil to buddhas and bodhisattvas can make people hear and see clearly, and at the same time increase their wisdom.
Generally, olive oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, lotus oil and other vegetable oils can be used to worship Buddha and Bodhisattva.
However, sesame oil or peanut oil should not be used as the oil placed at the midpoint of the oil lamp. Tasting oil is not pure, and it will cover the smell of sandalwood if it is too fragrant, so it should not be used for bodhisattva. Soybean oil is too strong to ignite easily, so it is not suitable.
putting a whole bottle of oil (take the trademark package) in front of Buddha and Bodhisattva is also considered as oil supply.
But the best way is to light the oil lamp and add the oil into the oil bottle of the oil lamp, and it needs to be added frequently, such as adding a little oil every day, which is the same as changing fresh fruit and water.
We should pay attention to the above methods of oil supply, and we should not use the oil supplied to buddhas and bodhisattvas for cooking meat dishes. We can eat the fruit and water dedicated to Buddha and Bodhisattva. However, we don't drink the oil directly, but we need to cook and process it. We can burn vegetarian dishes with the oil that has been used by Bodhisattva.
supply oil in public places, such as guanyin temple in Oriental Taiwan, where you can pour your own oil into oil lamps, and the remaining oil can be taken home and used for other edible purposes.
