As to Bhavana (Practice) - the first level of practice is to perform Bucha by lighting incense and prostrating to the Buddha, and chanting prayers, and study and read the Buddha-Dhamma. The next level is to begin to Practice Samatha Meditation, and the Higher Practice begins with the practice of the 40 methods of Vipassana, and reaches its highest level for those who wish to devote their lives to the Dhamma, with Buddhist Ordination as a Bhikkhu Monk.
