Here is the pure Buddhist (Therawada) way of worshiping(respecting).

According to the Lord Buddha if some one recollect the virtues(qualities) of the Three Jewels it will diffidently merit for him in this life and next lives.

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa.

(Homage to the Blessed One, the Worthy One, the Rightly Self-awakened One.)

  1. Take refuge in Three Jewels.
  2. Encouraged to follow five precepts (Sila).
  3. Recollection of the Qualities of the Buddha.
  4. Recollection of the Qualities of the Dhamma.
  5. Recollection of the Qualities of the Sangha.

There are many different types of Buddhism and so many different ways of 'worshipping'. I can confidently speak of my own Buddhist practice - Nicherin Diashonin;

Every morning and evening I chant "Nam-Moho-Renge-Kyo" many times whilst facing my gohonzon - which is an inscribed scripture encompassing the basic teachings of this Buddhism and reflecting my life. It is like a mirror I sit at every day to encourage my Buddhahood to shine though and show itself to the world.

Basically its s bit like meditation in daily life but an active, adaptable and useable energy force available for anyone to tap into whenever they want to.

Buddhism isn't about worshipping The Buddha, its about following his teachings. So they really don't worship The Buddha.

As a general rule, Buddhists don't worship anything. They try to manage and clear their own minds and develop compassion for all living things.
