It makes me want to take them to the temple

This is my first time discussing something like this, so it's hard to know how to explain it.
I'm in a temple now (maybe a shrine?) There's something I'd like to take you to.
I go to the temple myself, but there are times when I feel that I want to take someone inside me to the temple.
I think if you go there, there will be people who will understand you.
As for my own feeling, I'd rather take that someone with me than say I want to go.
Do you ever feel this kind of thing?
Also, how should we worship in such a case?

Hello, nice to meet you.

Having the feeling of being able to visit a temple (even a shrine) is a truly precious relationship. Please stop by all means.

Speaking from the temple side, I'm thankful that they have made an appointment beforehand. There are times when they go out to pray and are away, and we may not be able to respond. Also, regular puja sessions and events are posted on temple bulletin boards and websites, so it might be a good idea to visit at that timing. Rather than suddenly being one-on-one with the chief priest, wouldn't it be better to participate as one person among many others and see the person of that sect or the chief priest?

Is “someone within me” an anthropomorphic expression of the desire to pray? You may have discovered an unexpected self within yourself. Either way, I think it would be a good idea to approach it as above.

For your reference

Please take action.

If you honestly think so, how about acting like that?
I think the only next step is action.

To that end, if you go to the temple (shrine) of your choice and pray at the main hall (main hall) in the precincts, you may feel (think) something.
First, I think we'll start there.
