Money box at place of worship

不一定要给的,一般上的人要给就给,不会强逼。

香油钱是一种表达敬意和祈求神明保佑的方式。通常,香油钱的数目不是固定的,而是基于每个人的个人情况和能力而决定的。如果你不确定该支付多少香油钱,你可以向庙宇里的工作人员咨询或参考其他拜访者支付的数额。但在某些场合下,也可以不支付香油钱,比如你非常拮据或是由于个人信仰或习俗等原因。在这种情况下,可以选择在拜访庙宇后,向神明默默地祈愿,以示尊重和感谢。

For most temples, it is not necessary to pay incense money. This is a way to show respect and pray for the blessings of the deities. Usually, the amount of incense money is not fixed, but is based on each individual’s personal situation and ability to pay. If you are unsure how much incense money to pay, you can consult the temple staff or refer to the amount paid by other visitors. However, in some cases, you can choose not to pay incense money, such as when you are very tight on money or due to personal beliefs or customs. In this case, you can choose to silently pray to the deities after visiting the temple to show respect and gratitude.
