A number of countries in South East Asia are blessed with places where devotees of Buddhism pay regular visitors. India, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam are among the main countries with plenty of Buddhist monasteries, pagodas, caves and monuments. There are some religious rules that must be followed while touring these sacred Buddhist places.
Besides, there are some rituals and things that one can perform to make tours to these places truly spiritual and memorable. If you are planning one such tour for the first time, here is a discussion on few important things to make most out of it.
Be Suitably Dressed Up A Buddhist tour to temples and monasteries at various Buddhist destinations in India and other countries requires one to be suitably dressed up in order to respect the sentiments of locally residing people. Make sure that the clothes you choose are not revealing and cover your body properly. It is a good idea to enjoy these tours in the ethnic clothes. Short pants and skirts and revealing tops should be restrained in order to maintain dignity of these sacred places.
Photographing at Buddhist Sites A Buddhist train tour in India may take you to the destinations where Buddhist monuments and statues are regarded as the main highlights. You can take a camera along with you and click some of the marvelous shots, as most of Buddhist pilgrimage sites are surrounded by natural beauty. However, it is not advised to click the photographs of Buddhist statues while standing next to them. Buddha is regarded as a religious idol and getting photographed with his statues is not considered appropriate.
Greet the Monks It is truly a wonderful experience to be in the company of monks on a buddhist tour. To make it more special, you can learn the right way to greet them. The traditional way of greeting at a Buddhist pilgrimage site is called Wai that requires one to bow his or her head and body to some extent. While doing so, one should press the palms together to show respect. You can greet other tourists as well in the same way.
Praying with Incense Sticks While being at one of the Buddhist destinations in India, you can pray for prosperity and fortune for yourself and for your friends and family members. For this, you can avail 3 incense sticks that are easily available at these sites. After praying, you can place these sticks in the incense bowls. Some local people at Buddhist pilgrimage sites believe that one should light up these sticks using their own match stick. Lighting up from other sticks or candles is not advised as it is believed as sharing someone else’s prayers.
There are many other amazing Buddhist tour experiences that you can have. As you are visiting a Buddhist place for the first time, you can hire a local guide who will share many such rituals and traditions with you.
