According to the personal library, the main purpose of copying scriptures is to make the mind quiet. It is best to wash your hands first when copying the scriptures, which is a respect for the scriptures. If you pay attention, you'd better use a black pen or a gel pen with a thickness of 0.5. Some people think that copying scriptures, because the Buddha is golden, will be recorded with a golden gel pen. In fact, color is a personal preference, as long as it is pious and super-recorded, it doesn't matter what color it is. There is special paper for copying scriptures, and many people take it back from the temple. This paper is engraved with scripture, you just need to describe it carefully, and the requirements for paper are not very important. You don't have to use rice paper, just cleaning paper.
