Revise: Objects of DevotionDevotional objects give this an outward focus: they help people remember what they value and direct their attention towards Buddhist practice. Their importance is therefore not simply that they decorate a religious building.
When evaluating devotional objects, compare their benefits for practice with the argument that understanding and living the teachings matter more. Avoid claiming that all members of a Buddhist tradition have identical views.
