Yes, because they show respect and it keeps dirt out of the shrine/temple.
1. No. They take them off when the go to sleep and go into a store, though. 2. My wife and many of our friends are Thai Buddhists. Shoes are always removed when entering either a Buddhist Temple or a home/apartment.
take your shoes off
Always take off your shoes.
there is a bridge, the 4 entraces circling the temple, you go in take your shoes off, wash you hands and feet... any help?
They put their shoes outside the temple and then touch the ground with their right hand they do this to show respect to God. They also take flowers and sweet dish as offerings for God. They enter the temple and ring the bell and then worship.
First off, Buddhist do not worship The Buddha. We honor and revere him. He was not a god. We come together to practice and honor him in a temple.
It's a sign of respect. Removing your shoes before entering the shrine room means you leave any dirt that may be on your footwear outside.
