Ok, I have now repaired the damaged universe being responsible for the heavy earthquake on Kyushu, but afterwards the sky got a rip and since then it has been bucketing down, unbelievable! Before I can demolish even more, here are the instructions how to pray in a temple: First you have to approach carefully, respectfully and quietly, because the whole appearance of the temple spreads grandeur. Then you throw a few coins in a generally gigantic wooden chest (don't worry, you won't overlook that). It doesn't matter how much. Buddha isn't such a penny-pincher as the church is where we can find a fee catalogue for everything. But attention: even Buddha wants to be paid for service. Behind the box with the money a thick rope hangs down. On top of it there's a bell and you have to shake it so that He becomes awake. He is always quite tired, because the human being is always in trouble and he must therefore relax a lot. That's it! Afterwards you have to bow politely two times (yes that's true!) and then clap two times in your hands, because He is awake and has your attention now (applause or something like this). Now you are allowed to pray without any instructions. If you have finished, you bow again politely two times and then withdraw carefully backward (please don't turn your back to Him, because he will become very angry). Now you can relax and let Him doing the rest (I hope He is repairing the rip, so much rain is annoying).
