How do Buddhists worship?
Buddhists do not “worship” the Buddha or deities. We do have ceremonies in which we pay homage to the Buddhas and teachers that have passed the religion on to us. We may also show our respect to our family, friends and the Buddhist community in gratitude for their help and compassion. Many Buddhist Groups meet in members’ homes or rented rooms. A meeting will probably include some scripture recitation, some meditation and a Dharma talk (perhaps a reading from a book or by listening to a recording, if a teacher is not available). There is also likely to be a cup of tea and some socialising.
