Find Buddha: walk into a temple
The door is open.
You don't have to know how to do this. Nobody in there was born knowing. Walk in with us.
Nobody is checking.
Light a stick of incense if you want to. Or don't. The smoke is a way of saying you came.
The great hall 大雄寶殿
Every lamp in here was lit by someone, for someone.
Bow if you like.
It doesn't mean worship. It means: thank you, I'm listening.
One lamp is unlit.
People light one here for someone they are thinking of. You can too. It costs nothing and it counts.
You lit a lamp.
It stays lit. If you'd like to tell someone who it was for, or ask what any of this means, there is a grandma who will answer plainly.
