Temple visit etiquette

A temple is a place of practice before it is a sight — visit quietly and dressed modestly.

Take your shoes off before entering a Dharma hall (a building housing a Buddha statue).
Clothing that covers shoulders and knees is a safe choice.
Many halls post no-photography signs — and even without one, don't shoot during a ceremony.
Ask first before photographing a monk.
Don't touch statues or ritual objects.
Keep your voice low on the grounds, and eat only in designated areas.
