I give five examples here.
1. We offer the first things of the season at the altar.
‐It is because to thank the crops.
2. We never wear Kimono with its left side okumi is under the right side.
‐This style is for burial clothes.
3. Some people worship the Buddha every morning and evening.
‐In the morning, we pray that we hope to spend an ordinary day. In the evening we express to Buddha my gratitude of the day. My grandfather does it every day.
4. We put an eggplant and cucumber with legs which made by the disposable wooden chopsticks in the Bon festival.
‐The eggplant is a cow, and the cucumber is a horse. It is the means for Buddha to come back our house.
5. We sprinkle our body with salt after a Buddhist service for the dead.
‐It is because to cleanse our body,

Hi,BERRY!
返信削除I didn't know the meaning of worship the Buddha. I think only old people do that. Most of young people including me don't do that.
Micheal, thank you for your comment!!
返信削除I agree with your opinion.
I never worship the Buddha. It is only in Obonn festival, isn't it?
