Please know the location of the following niches:
The inner balcony can be provided with a Buddha platform.
The problem that the Buddhist platform is located on the balcony
Male audience: My Buddha's platform is very high. Now I want to decorate it and put it on the balcony. I don't know where to put it because my house is too small.
Director: If the balcony is empty and highlights your home, it is impossible (it turned out to be the whole hall, but later I separated it), so there is no problem. Remember: if you put the Buddha's platform on the balcony, the bottom must not be empty (the bottom is not empty, because my house is a hall with no corners on all sides, and then the top is brick. I'll find a place to put bodhisattvas. It used to be next to the sofa. Every morning and evening, I stand up and burn incense. If my head can see it, don't put too much. There should be no problem. But you must remember, never put it on an empty balcony, or you will have bad luck at home (does the bodhisattva look outside or inside? ) Are you separated? It's best not to face the bed, but to be even with the head of the bed (I don't like this, the balcony faces a big shopping mall outside, and the living room is behind the Buddha). That's no problem, that's all right.
If conditions permit, it is best to worship a Buddhist platform at home and invite a Guanyin bodhisattva.
The basic requirements of the Buddhist platform:
Keep away from the toilet (close the door at home).
Not in front of the kitchen.
Can't put it on TV, refrigerator, etc. , directly below the air conditioner. If you are close to the TV or the environment is complicated, you can make a cabinet with wooden doors. Close the cupboard door when not burning incense, and don't turn on the TV when burning incense. However, the Buddha statue cannot be covered with a glass cover.
The husband-and-wife room cannot be used for bodhisattvas, nor can it be in the husband-and-wife bedroom (except for the elderly husband-and-wife room).
A single bedroom can be consecrated, but the end of the bed can't face the Buddha platform.
It can't be used on the balcony protruding from the foundation, but it can be used if it is an indoor balcony.
Any Buddha and Bodhisattva statues, including incense burners and oil lamps, cannot be hung, but must be supported by floor objects such as tables, cabinets and racks.
Bodhisattva is best located in a bright place by the window, but it is not advisable to lean against the glass window. The back must be against the wall, and there can be no mirrors around the Buddha platform.
Don't put sundries or other books under the Buddha's platform. Generally, you can put scriptures and instruments.
The height of the Buddha's platform should not be too low or too high. It is the position where people stand and look up slightly (if it is too low, a more elegant and solemn box can be used to cushion the Buddha).
Oil lamps should have oil lamps (frequent oiling will make people's eyes better) and water (several buddhas and bodhisattvas should have several glasses of water, and the water should be changed once a day, and they should not touch the cups with their mouths).
Incense burners should be provided, and incense should be given once every morning and evening, preferably at a fixed time, usually at 6: 00, 8: 00 or 10 in the morning.
There shouldn't be too many buddhas and bodhisattvas in the Buddhist altar.
Fruits and flowers, depending on their own conditions, can supply fresh fruits (which can make what they want come true as soon as possible) and flowers (which make people more beautiful by offering flowers). Generally, fruits and flowers should be replaced with new ones within one week.
The location of the Buddhist platform The location of the Buddhist altar is best to sit south facing north (southern hemisphere) and sit north facing south (northern hemisphere). If conditions do not permit, other directions are also possible.
Fruits are best served with fragrant fruits. Such as apple, orange, mango, pineapple and watermelon.
Bananas and peaches are not suitable for offering sacrifices to buddhas and bodhisattvas.
The number of fruits dedicated to buddhas and bodhisattvas should be odd. But the arrangement of each layer should be singular, not the total number is singular.
If four apples are provided, the upper layer is one and the lower layer is three, that is, each layer is odd.
The number of discs is not important.
Give flowers to the bodhisattva, just rich bamboo.
Chrysanthemum, lily, orchid, daffodil, etc. Can be dedicated to buddhas and bodhisattvas. Roses with thorns are not suitable for Buddhist pagodas.
Flowers dedicated to buddhas and bodhisattvas can be judged by their names. Such as peach blossoms and morning glory, cannot be enshrined.
In addition, potted plants with soil should not be served on the main stage.
Oil supply: if there are many bodhisattvas, it is best to have an oil lamp for each bodhisattva if possible; If there are no conditions, you can also offer a pair of oil to the whole Buddhist platform ... >>

Niche orientation
As we all know, Buddhist niches are usually placed at the gate, but in our building, almost all buildings face south along the gate, so all Buddhist niches are naturally placed south. But not to the door.
First of all, the niche should not be placed too close to the gate. It is important to keep a certain distance from the gate. It is also important to put the Buddha statue together with the niche in a quiet place at home so as not to disturb the gods. If possible, it's best to design a separate room to worship Buddha statues.
If a niche must be placed in the bedroom due to conditions or personal wishes, it must be covered with a curtain when sleeping at night, and the back of the niche must not be empty. You must design a chair, but it must not be the kitchen or bathroom next door. Dirty and greasy smell is taboo for Bodhisattva.
It is best to put the niche near a relatively clean place without sundries. For example, all kinds of household appliances can be avoided. If you think the niche is too monotonous, you can design a counter to put offerings, incense burners and other items.
The location of the niche is the same as our seats in the office or our beds at home. It can't be placed under the beams of the house, and the height of the niche is high, so as to reflect the word "worship".
However, there is also a saying that the best side of the niche faces west, the back faces east, or the back faces west and east. This can be placed according to the layout of the apartment and your own wishes, but it should be noted that no matter where the niche is placed, it must be remembered that the space behind it can't be a bathroom or kitchen, and there can't be a mirror in front.
Problems needing attention in sacrifice
1, the number of incense, one incense is enough. Three is fine. If you are busy at ordinary times, you can burn incense on the fifteenth day of the first month.
2. Sacrifice fruit. It's best to keep the fruit fresh, and don't wait for the fruit to go bad before changing it. Replaced fruits can be enjoyed with family members.
3. Provide a glass of water in front of the Buddha.
4. Offer flowers conditionally.
The niche is placed at the gate to play that hall, against the wall (it should be the east wall of your house. )
In addition, holding on to the third door of your house is barely a five-door connection, which is not conducive to keeping money. From left to right, the doors line up. Not so good.
Location of niches: niches should be placed from inside to outside, niches or shrines should be placed from home to outside, and from hall to outside. That is to say, you should face the door, but if you can't meet this requirement due to environmental restrictions, you should also put him in the direction of the door and avoid rushing to the door, that is, when you enter the room, you will see the shrine or altar, pointing too close to the door and keeping a certain distance from the door.
In addition, in addition to the placement position, we should also pay attention to the following other matters:
1, the quality and quantity of incense.
This kind of incense is one of the most important utensils, because it is the communication medium between the upper and lower levels. Only natural incense has such a function; The natural fragrance that can be set better is better; I suggest that a pair of mascots in official website must suit you. And the number of incense: three or three columns; If you are busy at ordinary times, you can burn incense on the first day and the fifteenth day.
2. Sacrifice fruit. It's best to keep the fruit fresh, and don't wait for the fruit to go bad before changing it. Replaced fruits can be enjoyed with family members.
3. Provide a glass of water in front of the Buddha. Offer flowers conditionally. Wait!
Finally, if you want to pray for more energy, you can wear a mascot at the same time; This can be set at the same time in a phaseless copper furnace.
The best place to place the shrine is the "prosperous" gas side of the living room.
It's better to have a plan to look at the placement of Buddhist niches, so that if the TV sound is not loud, it will not affect the Buddha, and Buddhist niches are generally not suitable for being parallel to people. You can put it next to the TV, just remember not to face or turn your back on the bathroom.
Where is the niche suitable for the family to set up a Buddhist temple? It is best to choose a quiet room instead of a place where children, cats and dogs play. It's not a place to laugh at people. If conditions do not allow, you can cover the Buddha with a clean red cloth at ordinary times and uncover it during worship. The Buddha statue faces south and west and east. Choose a suitable location in the living room. The sun is shining, so people can see it at a glance as soon as they enter the door. Don't look at the window behind the Buddha statue, at the toilet, stove, stay in bed, especially in the couple's bedroom. It is advisable to choose a clean, fresh, airy, well-lit, quiet and noiseless place as the principle. Generally speaking, if the space configuration allows, the Buddha statue can face the gate. If you put it in the living room, the furniture should be "up". The so-called upper position means sitting in this position and coming out of any room in the house. This position was first seen, and this position is "upper position". If the upper position just faces west, it is best, that is, the Buddha sits west and faces east.
What kind of door is the location of the family shrine, that is, the middle door? . The shrine is in the middle of the relationship between heaven and earth. . . . That's what they usually say. . Avoid facing the toilet, bedroom and kitchen. . .
