they worship the spirit or object.
Answer: Worship is, in Western religions, a method of contacting a god to ask for protection, forgiveness or ask for help. Worship is not a part of Buddhism as they have no god(s). They revere the Buddha as a man who identified the common cause of all suffering and the path o escape it. They respect others who have made insightful comment. They remember and take lessons from the lives of good people and use the lives of people who have made unskilled chices to help them identify their own shortcomings. But they don't worship.
There are two forms of Buddhism, philosophical and religious. So one can be a Buddhist in the philosophical school and not hold any religious beliefs, or even be a Christian. Most Eastern Buddhists worship gods and believe in reincarnation. Tibetan and Chinese Buddhists believe in numerous gods, many of which are depicted by statues in their temples. Tibetan Buddhism also incorporates animism.
