Worshipping the Buddha, Dharms and Sangha??

I have been a practising Theravada Buddhist for many years and don't worship anyone or any thing.

Peace

Gerry Do you worship life? Or revere nature? Or honor your mother? Or "worship" some attachment? Perhaps a sense of reverance and respect for the Buddha is only appropriate for a more sincere follower. Without worship, humility is lacking and the ego is excessive. Why would not a receptive student worship his or her most generous teacher?
