Stock Photo: Sacrificial Offering For Praying At Temple Thailand
ID 48489365 © Tuayai | Megapixl.com
When praying and requesting a favor to Buddha, Thai people take three incense sticks, i.e one pour the Buddha, one for the Sangha (Buddhist community), one for the Dharma (teachings of the Buddha), a flower (orchid or lotus, which symbolizes the Buddhist teachings purity) and a small candle (it symbolizes comprehension enlightenment). They lit the incense sticks and kneel three times and put the incense sticks in front of the statue. The path to communicating with the Buddhist powers is a slippery slope. To ensure that your prayers reach the highest ears, you must pay attention to rituals and avoid being rude when visiting Buddhist temples. Materials Three sticks of incense. Candles (wax or electric). The rack with candleholders can usually be found outside the temple itself, or somewhere in the courtyard. Stand in front of the candle rack, light your two candles and – as with the incense – hold them against your forehead.
