Lord Buddha has never asked people to make statues of him of offer flowers!Lord Buddha clearly said "Sabba Daanang Dhamma Daanang Jinathi" - Of all offerings the knowledge of Dhamma is the greatestThese practices are there only to symbolize Buddhism nothing more than that, Every religion today has some sort ritual associated with it... a Temple serves as a physical location for people to gather and learn Dhamma.. other rituals are probably the effects of Hinduism!!Anyhow Lord Buddha has clearly commented the way of a Buddhist!Bukkus are no different than an ordinary man... only that he devoted his/her life to the path of teaching others Dhamma, therefore it is considered a great thing since he / she on full time social service if you like... and that deserves respect.. dont you think so?Bowing is a culture nothing more to it... Everything in every religion can be only tested while we live... every religion has thoery of what is happening there after... non of us know these are true or false... That is true in Buddhism too!!!Have you ever done anything good and had a good result? Like you've study hard and passed an exam? or you never studied and failed.. now that is Karma right there.. you created a cause and there was an effect... Buddhism also says there are far reaching Karma beyond our life... and we might never know how... because like I've said everything can only be tested till death!</blockquote>
