    Apples, bananas, grapes.

    The number of fruits offered is not the key, it is good to put a few, but it is necessary to pay attention to a few taboos, such as pomegranates and cherries should not be offered, and Taoist ones cannot be offered to plums.

    In fact, the importance of fruit is really not as much as ordinary people think. Some people think that pears can't be offered, because the homonym is separate, which is a bad meaning. But in fact, the offerings of the Buddha and Bodhisattva pay attention to the form and meaning. Fruit represents a constant reminder to those who study Buddhism to practice hard and attain positive results.

    Therefore, as long as there is no special smell, fresh and non-rotten fruits can be offered, although durian is the king of fruits, but the smell is unpleasant, it cannot be used for offering. About the quantity. There are generally 5 fruits and vegetables in the temple, so they look good on a plate, but you don't have to worry about the number at home.
