Not only can we go, but many people will go. Not only many people will go, but everyone will go early. On the first day of every year, people will go to the temple to burn incense and pray early with the most sincere heart. Sometimes there is a long queue at the gate of the temple because there are too many people.
Because it is very auspicious to burn incense on the first day of the New Year, people hope that Bodhisattva can bless themselves and their families and have a smooth New Year, so that they will have more good luck in the new year.
What's the point of entering a temple?
When you enter a temple, you should pay attention to your behavior. In the process of blessing, our actions can show our respect for the gods. There has always been a saying in China that men are left and women are right. Entering the main hall, there are generally three doors in the main hall of the temple. We can't enter the middle gate, because the middle gate is empty, and only Buddhists can enter and exit. We need to take the rightmost gate.
When entering the main hall, the male pilgrims take the left foot first, and the female pilgrims take the right foot first, because this is the inherent tradition of male left and female right. When doing activities in the temple, if you see others bow to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, you can't walk directly in front of others, which is disrespectful to the Buddha and Bodhisattva. Pay attention to these, and try not to make mistakes, which will affect your good luck.
