buddhist etiquette

Above all, the good intention of honoring the three jewels is important: the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. 

The following are common guidelines and practices rather than rules. In practice, Buddhists tend to be practical people and generally don't insist on anything that doesn't make common sense. For example, if a person is elderly or has a physical disability, for example, some of these guidelines do not apply.
