To worship Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, there can be five things: flowers, lamps, incense, water, and fruits.
Offering method: The fruit should be washed and the water supply should be clean water. Place the offering in front of the Buddha statue and you're good to go.
In addition, when we believe in Buddhism and learn Buddhism, there is another place that needs to be paid attention to, that is, we must be able to practice the teachings of the Buddha and Bodhisattva to us in our livesDo not do any evil, but do all good。If you can correct your mistakes, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and be a good student of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will be very happy when they know about it, and you will also have good fortune as a result!
Friend, if you are interested in Buddhism, let me explain it to you in detail.
In the practice of all evil, there is a great evil and a great good, which can determine our blessings and luck in the future.
This great evil, we are easy to ignore, that is, killing, God has the virtue of good life, and the most cherished thing for living beings is their own life, we kill and take lives, the pain of living beings is very deep, resentment is also very deep, Buddhism tells us, killing is a great evil, there is evil retribution, we seek blessing and luck, this article must not be abstained from.
In addition, there is a great kind of good deed, which is easy for us to ignore, that is, filial piety to parents, Confucius said, the most difficult thing to filial piety to parents is "sex difficulty", that is, it is difficult to be kind to parents, (friends, think about it, isn't that so?). So we have to be gentle with our parents, and we should speak softly and not in a fierce tone.
Finally, friends, you can ask some Buddhist books to read, we believe in Buddhism, learn Buddhism, not only to burn incense, kowtow to it, our blessings, luck, on the one hand, can rely on the blessing of the Bodhisattva, more importantly,They rely on themselves to learn the Dharma, practice the Dharma, and do good deeds and accumulate virtues.
Buddhist books are available in temples and Xinhua bookstores. Many scriptures are difficult to understand, and beginners can read some books on the popularization of Buddhism and the introduction of Buddhism.
The destination of life that Buddhism talks about, we are human beings now, so is there an afterlife, and what will become of the next life? Is there eternal life? Also, Can you be happy in the afterlife?
Or is it painful? Is there a way to make yourself happy and all sentient beings happy? This is discussed in detail in the Dharma).

Excerpt from the French language of the Clearance Mage.
The most important of the offerings made in front of the Buddha is not incense, but water. A glass of water is offered in front of the Buddha, and that water represents the "heart" – the heart should be as clean and equal as water. When I see this glass of water, I often think:
My heart should be pure, my heart should be equal, the meaning of the water meter is not for the Buddha to drink, how can the Buddha with clay sculpture and wood carving drink water? A pure heart and equality are merits, and this is true. However, it is not possible to offer tea, because tea has a color and is not pure, so it is better to use a transparent cup for water supply, so that we can see it clearly, and then we know that my heart should be pure and equal.
Burning incense] incense, on behalf of "faith", on behalf of "faith", and at the same time on behalf of "precepts", you see the incense praise in the precept of the true incense, is to express this meaning, so that you see or smell this fragrance, then think: I want to cultivate the precepts, I want to keep the precepts, I want to cultivate, I want to believe in the Buddha's teachings, it expresses this meaning.
If you don't understand this meaning, isn't it called burning this pillar of incense for nothing? You don't understand the meaning of water, and you give it in vain.
Offering flowers and fruits] Buddha before flowers, flowers represent "cause", plants first bloom and then bear fruit, flowers are good for us. We deal with people and things in our daily life, and we must repair the cause to have good results.
The offering of fruit represents the fullness of the fruit. It's all about thinking of cause and effect.
Offering lamps and candles].
Offering lamps, candles, very obvious, candles on behalf of "burning oneself, illuminating others", is what we are talking about now about sacrifice and dedication, we see that anyone has suffering, they can sacrifice themselves for others, it expresses this meaning.
So it's all education, and there's nothing in it that doesn't have a deep pedagogical meaning.

Offering to the Buddha is a kind of admiration, nostalgia and respect for the Buddha, which should bring us immeasurable light for the Buddha, if there is no Buddha appearing in the world and preaching the Dharma for us, then we can only be reincarnated in the boundless dark world. Not only that, but every kind of offering to the Buddha also has an educational effect: offering flowers tells us to know how to cultivate causes, and if there are good causes, good results will be produced, and in addition, offering flowers can make people look solemn and beautiful in the next life; The meaning of the expression of the offering is to tell the person who makes the offering that all the Dharma arises from the cause, and that no matter what happens, he must treat it with a normal mind, because everything is the result of the cause he has sown. The significance of water supply is greater, the general water supply should be colorless and tasteless clean water, water represents the meaning of purity and equality, in addition, Confucianism says that the good is like water, and the water has the merit of being returned by all things, and so on; Offering Lights:
In Buddhism, the meaning of wisdom is expressed by the lamp, the wisdom light illuminates the darkness, and the vajra fire burns the flame of the embers, and the lamp is to open our wisdom and cut off the troubles; Offering incense: Incense is also known as the true incense of the precepts, and the offering of incense is to ask us to strictly adhere to the precepts, practice meditation diligently, and only by holding the precepts, cultivating and opening wisdom is the real offering to the Three Jewels. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south.

Offering incense: the expression of "precepts, concentration, and true fragrance", if you really hold the precepts and produce concentration, the body will emit fragrance.
That is, burning incense means worshipping the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and these three are the three permanent treasures in the monastery.
Burning incense also means that there is no leakage in the three aspects of precept and wisdom. If a person burns incense every day with inferior and harmful chemical incense, he will not be blessed by the Buddha; Therefore, it is very necessary to ask for a good incense, if you have a heart, it is recommended that you can consider a one-to-one custom of natural flowers and plants on the phaseless copper furnace, and sincerely offer to the Buddhas!
