    First of all, the position of the bodhisattva should be properly arranged, and it is best for the bodhisattva to sit facing west to east, and not to the toilet, not to the bedroom, not to the dining table, and not to the kitchen and bathroom with his back.

    Secondly, it is to place the tribute, which is generally based on the five offerings of 'incense, flowers, lamps, water, and fruits', and remember to offer wine, meat, and meat, which is also disrespectful to the Bodhisattva;

    The last point, or the believers need to pay attention, in the choice of incense to be careful, can not be sloppy, many believers use chemical incense to offer the Bodhisattva, the smell is strong, the smell is uncomfortable, not to mention the Bodhisattva?

    In order for your prayer to be blessed by the Bodhisattva, it is recommended that you ask for a good incense to offer to the Bodhisattva, so that you can better convey your prayers to the Bodhisattva.

    Try to dress modestly, don't dress too grandly, and it is best for female believers not to wear skirts, too revealing; Male believers should also not wear vests and slippers, which is disrespectful to the Bodhisattva and disturbs the monastery's puritude. Of course, in addition to dressing carefully, there are two other points that need to be paid attention to, one is to be sincere, sincerity is spiritual, this needs to be understood;

    Another point is to offer incense, which is very important, but it is ignored by believers, and the use of harmful chemical incense to worship the Bodhisattva, this is not only disrespectful to the Bodhisattva, but also has no benefit to the body and the environment, so please have a good incense is essential, if you have a heart, it is recommended that you customize a prayer incense made of lotus flowers on the official website of the phaseless copper furnace, which is still very good, used to worship the Bodhisattva.

    Glad your question, if it is for the Bodhisattva, around eleven o'clock in the morning is better. It's like eating, where the time of offering incense is different, and the object of the offering is also different. Lighting the lamp early in the morning is for the way of heaven.

    The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas follow humanity, so before noon, but remember that it is not advisable to spend noon. At night, it's a ghost road. According to the scriptures, it is best to offer incense to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas around 11 a.m.

    OK. Be careful not to offer mooncakes with meat to the bodhisattva.

    In addition, we believe in Buddhism, learn Buddhism, and worship Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are only one aspect, and what we need to pay more attention to is to practice what Buddhas and Bodhisattvas teach usDo not do any evil, but do all good。If you can correct your mistakes, do good deeds, 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 have good fortune because of it!

    In doing good deeds, there is a great good deed, which is also easy for us to ignore the good deeds, that is, filial piety to parents, filial piety to parents can accumulate blessings and change fortune for us, Confucius said, the most difficult thing to be filial to parents is "difficult to sex", that is, it is difficult to be kind to parents, (friends, think about it, is it so?) So we have to be gentle with our parents, and we should speak softly and not in a fierce tone.

    I recommend a Buddhist book to you to read, "Understanding Buddhism" written by Master Jingkong, Buddhism explains for us the root of the world's blessings and misfortunes, the destination of life, the meaning, how we get away from suffering and happiness The way is worth learning. This book can be pleased in the temple.

    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).

    Absolutely.

    Bodhisattvas can be worshiped anywhere, in fact, Bodhisattvas are everywhere, even if there is no statue of the Bodhisattva, you can worship the Bodhisattva in your heart.

    Note: It is best to always pay a glass of water before worshipping the Bodhisattva at home, and do not have to ask for fruits and other things.
