Buddhists do not worship any person or deity, including The Buddha. They show him reverence by bowing to his image but we do not say prayers to him. Buddhist prayers are more like a mantra in which the person praying is reciting a lesson (sutra) or guideline which tells them how to behave and act. For example, a prayer for compassion is "may all beings be well, happy and peaceful". The idea behind this prayer is for the person praying to develop compassion and loving kindness to all. Therefore prayer in Buddhism is self-directed.
With all that said when we practice meditation we usually sit in front of a statute of The Buddha or some other holy person, again not to worship, but to remind us of the ideal we strive for. We meditate at whatever time we can or when we feel it is needed.
Buddhist people do not worship because neither they believe in God nor consider Buddha himself is God who can fulfill their wishes. However Buddhist people go to Buddha Vihara or Pagoda to pay respect to their great teacher i.e Buddha who has shown them a path to overcome sufferings. In the Buddha Vihara Buddhist people pray and meditate for the purification of mind.
We don't technically "worship" Buddha, at least not in my sect (Soto Zen), but we can gather in centers and monasteries if they're around. Personally I have a few little Buddha statues that I like to sit with when I practice zazen (a form of meditation), and I go to a Zen group where we talk about the practice, chant, and meditate together. It's not quite worship so much as it's like Buddhist Sunday school or something. Other sects in Mahayana Buddhism have different practices and Theravada Buddhists have completely different rituals and practices. There are temples where people do actually bow down and worship the Buddha, but they aren't around my area and it's not part of my practice to hold him like an idol or something.
Buddhists can worship at a temple, and in many American cities with large Buddhist populations, you will see that Buddhist temples have been built. Usually, these houses of worship contain images of the Buddha, and worshipers pray or chant or meditate in proximity to these images. In addition, Buddhists can pray at home, and most do. Some have their own shrine, or they set aside a corner of a room dedicated to prayer, meditation, and/or chanting (some Buddhists chant verses from the Buddhist scriptures, as a way of remembering Buddha's teachings).
buddhists worship at home or in a temple worshippers may sit on the floor bare foot facing a picture or satue of the buddha
Buddhism has many different types of practice. There are no gods in Buddhism as such, but there are temples where ceremonies are carried out.
Buddhists do not have a god to worship. They meet in temples to receive instruction and fellowship.
they worship outside or in a temple!!
Buddists follow the teachings of Buddah and do not worship a God
Zen Buddhists typically study and follow teachings from various Buddhist scriptures and texts, such as the Heart Sutra, Diamond Sutra, and Platform Sutra. However, Zen Buddhism emphasizes direct insight and meditation over scholarly study of texts, so the focus is more on personal experience and realization rather than worship of a specific holy book.
No. Buddhists do not worship, period.
no because they don't believe in god so it wont be his birthday
Like Buddhism in general, Zen Buddhists worship no god(s) Non-Buddhists often mistakenly believe that Buddhists worship The Buddha. He is, however, just a man. His "claim to fame" is that he worked out the path to decreasing pain through the control of desire on his own, without instruction or guidance. He is revered for this, but not worshipped
Buddhists do not worship any god, deity or person; not even the Buddha. We revere the Buddha for bringing us his wisdom and teachings. Buddhists Temples are places were monks and nuns live and study the Buddha's teachings. They also hold lessons and meditation practice for lay Buddhists.
No, there are several gods mentioned in Therevada Buddhism but one is not admonished to worship them as people normally think of god worship these days.

None. We Buddhists believe in no immortal, all-powerful deities, not even the Buddha.
Worship is an action rendered to a religion's god(s). Buddha is not a god, he is a man. He is revered by Buddhists and other people who value his thoughts. Chinese are not the only people who are Buddhists.
