What are the taboos and precautions when burning incense and worshiping Buddha?

1. After burning incense, kowtow. When burning incense, you should hold the incense in your left hand and the candle in your right hand. If you are left-handed, do the opposite.
2. When burning incense, light the incense first, the brighter the better. Hold the incense with your left hand on top and your right hand on the bottom, and raise it above your head to bow. 3. The number of incense sticks to burn: three sticks for praying for yourself, six sticks for praying for two generations, nine sticks for praying for three generations, and thirteen sticks (the highest number) is the high incense that represents complete merit. 4. After bowing, you need to insert the incense into the ashes before you can enter the door and kowtow. Before kowtowing, you must identify the Buddha, Bodhisattva or Arhat. If you bow to the wrong one, the effect of your prayer may be lost.
5. Kneeling is appropriate. Kneel on the cushion with your knees and put your hands together. When you put your palms together, make sure your palms are hollow. Raise them above your head, then lower them to your mouth, pause and make a wish, then lower them to your heart and recite silently. Then spread your palms facing upwards, and finally bow down.
