One of the things I like most about the Temple is the recurrent "primitive" nature of this worship. Flames, oil, stuff poured on statues, flowers, bowing, touching. Refinement might preserve the worshiper's dignity or the worshiper's abstract idea of religion, but I wonder whether worshiper doesn't forego something. |
