When entering a religious place
- Dress neatly. Don't go shirtless, in
shorts, hot pants or other unsuitable attire.
- It is all right to wear shoes while
walking around the compound of a buddhist temple, but not inside the
chapel where the principal Buddha image is kept.
- Buddhist priests are forbidden to touch
or be touched by women or to accept anything from their hands. It
a woman has to give anything to a monk or novice, she hands it to
a man, who then presents it. In case of a woman who wants to present
it with her hand, the monk or novice spreads out a piece of saffron
robe or handkerchief in front of him, and the woman lays down the
material on the robe.
- All buddha images, large or small, ruined
or not, are regarded as scared objects. Hence, don't climb up on one
to take a photograph or do anything that might show lack of respect.
