The harm of asking Buddha to go home
It is a very pious thing to invite the Buddha statue home to worship, but because many people can't do it, the desired result is often the opposite of the fact. Because of the wrong way of offering sacrifices, some of them led to the decline of family business; Some lead to discord between husband and wife; Some cause mother and son to turn against each other; Some lead to illness all the year round, lack of yang, etc. Therefore, it is often harmless to invite the Buddha home, but Gong Ang's wrong way often causes harm.
What's the point of inviting Buddha home?
Buddha had better have a room.
If you sincerely worship Buddha, it is a very good choice to worship at home. If there is space at home, it is best to set aside a room for a week, because it is quiet enough for people to worship, pray, repent and cultivate their hearts better.
Burn incense (in front of an idol or spirit tablet)
There should be some requirements for the incense of Buddha statues, such as the date of incense, the number of incense and the way of incense. For the date of incense, it is usually on the fifteenth day of the first month, and other days can be decided by yourself. As for the specific amount of incense, it depends on the regulations of specific Buddhist temples. Some incense burners can light nine incense sticks, while others can only light one incense stick. The way of incense should be from right to left, column by column, and all the left hands should be incense.
The Buddha statue can't face the gate.
Whether it is furniture, offices or shops, the Buddha statue should not face the gate, otherwise it is a taboo to regard the Buddha statue as the guard of the gate. Especially the god of wealth, it is even more difficult to face, because the meaning of this placement inadvertently symbolizes sending the god of wealth out.
A Buddha statue is enough.
It is not appropriate for families to worship too many, too complicated and too messy icons of buddhas and bodhisattvas. One Buddha can represent ten thousand buddhas, and one bodhisattva can represent all buddhas and bodhisattvas. Most families worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Sunlight Bodhisattva, Moonlight Bodhisattva, Sakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha and Pharmacist Buddha. As long as you choose one.
The position of Buddha statue
It is best to sit south facing north, followed by sitting west facing east. This kind of seat is better, the height must be higher than our waist, and it is best to put it out of the reach of children to avoid getting it on the ground. Of course not with you, Buddha doesn't talk about it.
