To worship Buddha and Bodhisattva, it is advisable to put on some incense

When someone comes to the temple, they will not burn incense.

How much is better?

Three sticks of incense are appropriate. This means that "discipline, determination and wisdom" have no missing learning; It also means offering the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma and monk. This is the most complete and civilized incense offering. Incense is not much, but sincerity. The so-called "burn three civilized incense, respect a sincere heart".

Also, before burning incense, it is better to donate some money for support.

From the perspective of belief, Buddhism is a religion with Buddha as the object of worship. Buddha is the abbreviation of the transliteration of "Buddha" in Sanskrit, which means "the enlightened person", that is, the enlightened person. "Consciousness" includes three meanings: one is to realize oneself, the other is to make others realize themselves, and the third is to realize the fulfillment of actions. Buddhism believes that ordinary people do not have any of the above senses, and some of them are only conscious, and Bodhisattva also lacks the content of perfect consciousness and practice. Only Buddha has all the connotations of these three. Mahayana generally regards Buddha as a personal title of respect for Sakyamuni. With the development of Buddhism, the concepts of three generations of Buddha, ten square Buddhas, three body Buddhas, Buddha numbers such as Ganges sand, and Buddha's infinite number have gradually formed.

 礼拜佛菩萨，上几支香为宜

  有人到了寺庙，不会上香。

  烧多少为好呢？

  上三支香为宜。此表示“戒、定、慧”三无漏学；也表示供养佛、法、僧常住三宝。这是最圆满且文明的烧香供养。上香不在多少，贵在心诚，所谓“烧三支文明香，敬—片真诚心”。   

    还有，烧香之前最好捐一些钱作为供养。

    从信仰观念上说，佛教是以佛为崇拜对象的宗教。佛是梵文音译“佛陀”的简称，意为“觉者”，即指觉悟了的人。“觉”包含三方面的意思：一是自己觉悟，二是使他人也得觉悟，三是觉行圆满。佛教相信，普通人没有上述的任何一种觉，声闻和缘觉有的也只是自觉，菩萨也缺少觉行圆满的内容，只有佛才具备这三项的全部内涵。小乘一般以佛作为对释迦牟尼个人的尊称，随着佛教的开展，以后渐渐形成了三世佛、十方佛、三身佛、佛数如恒河沙子、佛有无量数等观念。
