    Come onPeriodsThe taboos for going to the temple are as follows:

    1. Don't wear tight clothes. If a woman has to go to the temple when she has her period, then she must dress modestly, preferably in very light clothes, with too many patterns on the clothes, and loose clothes. This will not allow the period to get stained on the pants, and it will be easier to go to the temple to go to the toilet.

    If you wear too revealing pants and look red, it is disrespectful to the Buddha, and maybe the Buddha will punish you for disrespect. Your wishes won't come true and may have an impact on your life, so be sure to dress appropriately.

    2. Don't eat spicy food before going to the temple. When you go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, you must eat some light food, such as fruits and vegetables, which is also good for women's bodies. It is better not to eat meat dishes, if you eat them, it is disrespectful to the Buddha.

    You can go in to burn incense and make incense, and you must keep a pious heart. If you are a staff member of a temple and you have a period, you must make incense and make incense to the Buddha in the morning and before leaving work in the evening, so as to maintain your own devotion and allow the Buddha to ignore your period.

    In Chinese culture, there are some taboos when going to a temple during a menstrual period, as follows: it is taboo to search for the inner sanctum of the temple. During menstruation, women are weak and nervous and cannot enter some of the more sacred temple sanctuaries to avoid accidents.

    It is forbidden to offer incense and candles. The incense candles offered in the temple have a certain sacred significance, and it is best for women not to pray for their blessings or light incense candles during their menstrual periods. It is forbidden to touch Buddha statues and scriptures.

    Buddha statues and scriptures are one of the most sacred objects in the temple, and women should not touch Buddha statues and scriptures during menstruation to avoid tarnishing the sanctity of Buddha statues and scriptures. It is forbidden to pray for children or for promotions. During menstrual holidays, women are weak and nervous sensitive, and making these prayers may induce adverse emotional reactions, which is not good for physical and mental health.

    Generally speaking, it is said that if you have a period, you can't send a troublemaker to enter and leave the temple after the envy of the calendar, because the gods are enshrined in the temple. Buddhism emphasizes compassion and cannot kill, let alone see blood, so it is natural to think that women who come to menstruation cannot appear in the temple. At the same time, if you have a period, the blood that is removed from the body is called a filthy thing, and it contains a lot of toxins and unclean things, so if you appear in the temple, it can be said to be blasphemous and disrespectful to the gods.

    If you have a period, it is not only recommended to go to the temple, but also not to bow down or offer incense, nor to pray to the gods at this time; Otherwise, not only will you not be able to achieve what you want, but it may also be counterproductive.
