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. Buddhists perform ceremonies in which they make offerings and ask the enlightened beings for guidance, but they consider all beings to have a Buddha nature, so we are all equal. Its just that some beings have a deeper understanding of the true nature of the universe than others. There are a number of levels of commitment to the Dharma, from being a lay person to being a monk. Each level requires different amounts of time dedicated to practice.

Some Buddhists meditate all day every day (the monks living in the forest, mainly found in china do that). Others meditate twice a day, once in the morning and once in the night and on full moons.

And the meditation is worship.
What is the worship place of buddism?
First off, Buddhists do not worship any person or deity, including The Buddha. We show him reverence by bowing to his image but we do not say prayers to him. So Buddhists do not worship anyone or thing. What we do is not called worship but it is called "Practice", since we are trying (practicing) to follow the teachings of The Buddha. Sometimes this is also referred to as following the path or following the Dharma. We Practice (hopefully) at all times every day. Therefore if we practice well, we treat all our waking time as "holy" or special. As for meditation, many Buddhists will a have a shrine or shrine room where we practice our meditation. Many time it will have a statue of The Buddha and pictures of the teachers we follow; again, not as worship but as a reminder of our goal (enlightenment), to honor the teachers who help us along the path and honor the Buddha for bringing us the teachings.
