What are the taboos for going to the temple in the first month?

First, avoid heavy makeup. Cleanliness of face also means purity of mind. When people's elements face the Buddha, they can better show that they are not flustered and have a clear mind.

Second, don't be too exposed. The clothes you wear to the temple should not be too revealing, and you should not wear all kinds of strange clothes. It is disrespectful to the Buddha not to respect him.

Third, avoid too much noise. You should try to keep quiet and don't make any noise in the temple, otherwise it is disrespectful to the Buddha.

What should I pay attention to when I go to the temple in the first month?

First, before going to the temple, don't eat irritating food such as meat and spicy food, and take a bath in advance to show respect for the Buddha.

Second, when walking around the temple, if you see others bowing to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, don't walk in front of others, which is disrespectful to the Buddha and Bodhisattva. As a mortal, I am not happy to enjoy such a big gift. I inadvertently insulted other pilgrims, and it was rumored that I would be punished by Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Third, if you go to the temple to worship Buddha, don't support Buddha and Bodhisattva with wine and meat, it will be disrespectful to Buddha and Bodhisattva. It is best to buy your own offerings, such as washed fruits and fresh bouquets. Don't steal other people's things for the Buddha, and you can't steal things from the temple and take them home. These behaviors will ruin good luck.
