Buddhist rituals
Temple worship ceremonies
Buddhist rituals are the ceremonial practices of Buddhism—meditation, chanting, prostrations, offerings, and observances marking birth, death, and spiritual milestones.
These vary widely across traditions: Zen practitioners may sit in silent meditation while Tibetan Buddhists perform elaborate visualizations and mantra recitations.
The temple held Buddhist rituals at dawn and dusk.
