First of all, you must ensure that your home is spacious. It doesn't have to be a three-bedroom and one-bedroom apartment, but at least it has to be a two-bedroom apartment, and the space must be large enough. Otherwise, it is a great disrespect for the Buddha. Are you trying to trap the Buddha in such a small space? After living in this condition, it must also be satisfied that the hall must be far away from the kitchen. The kitchen is the dirtiest place in a family, and it must be isolated from the Buddha in theory. And be sure to put the niche in the middle of an edge of the living room, and all the sofa tables and chairs should be decorated with Buddha as the respect, which is wonderful.
it is advisable to choose a clean and fresh place with flowing air and sufficient light, which is quiet and not noisy. You don't need to choose auspicious days or geographical location, as long as you are sincere and respectful, you will "every day is a good day, and every time is a good time." Generally speaking, if the space configuration permits, the Buddha statue can face the gate. If you live with your family, colleagues, classmates, etc., you should get everyone's consent before setting up a Buddhist temple; If others don't agree, you can collect convenient Buddha statues instead of asking them out during the class, and collect them after the class. It is not appropriate to set up a Buddhist temple reluctantly to avoid causing trouble to others.
if the residential space is limited, how to set up a suitable Buddhist temple when it can't be a separate one? Modern residential buildings are high-rise. In the case of limited indoor space, if there is no separate space for the use of Buddhist temples, they can be planned together with the living room, and the Buddhist temples can be decorated with higher spaces or cabinets. Simple Buddha statues are supplemented with incense burners or incense sticks, which is solemn when matched with flowers. What should I prepare to set up a Buddhist temple? Where can I prepare these things? The objects in the Buddhist temple can be prepared according to the size of the Buddhist temple, including Buddha and Bodhisattva statues, ritual objects, chairs (mats), scriptures, flowerpots, incense burners or incense burners, candlesticks, endless lamps, water purification cups, fruit bowls, etc. The objects can be increased or decreased as long as they are symmetrical and solemn. In addition, the front of the table can also be surrounded by a table and hung with solemn cloth; You can also hang a banner next to the altar. The general Buddhist cultural relics circulation office can prepare the above items.
The location of a Buddhist shrine is generally determined according to the feng shui layout at home.
1. From the inside out, the shrine or altar should be placed from the home to the outside, and from the hall to the outside. That is to say, you should face the gate, but if you can't meet this requirement due to environmental restrictions, you should also face him in the direction of the gate, that is, you will see the shrine or altar as soon as you enter the house, but you should keep a certain distance from the door.
2. It should be in a quiet place, and the place should be quiet and tidy. It is best not to have stereos, televisions and other things near shrines or shrines.
3. Don't face the bed. Don't face the dining table. Kitchen, toilet. 4. The shrine or altar should be supported, and the back should not be empty. Next door to the wall can't be a toilet or a kitchen.
5. The shrine or altar should not be under the beam.
