Buddhists don't actually worship anyone or anything, though they revere Dharma practitioners who have achieved enlightenment, such as arhats, devas or buddhas. The Guatama Buddha said that no one should worship him, or even adopt his teachings unquestioningly. He encouraged his followers to examine the nature of the universe for themselves through analytical meditation to discover the truth. Some ceremonies are performed publicly, usually by monks and lamas, and observed by lay people. Lay people sometimes perform korwa (circumambulation of sacred sites or places), prostrations or other practices in public, usually around monasteries or sacred sites.
