I add two words:
Height: above the waist of adults;
Location: a place with good light; If the conditions are limited, you can also use backlight (like me);
One Buddha worships many people: it cannot be higher than the Buddha's position (it can be equal); Can not be lower than the status of God and ancestors in the world;
In short, choosing a good conditional valve is like entertaining a distinguished guest within the scope of conditions.
Taboo:
Bodhisattva's room:
No smoking;
Can't have sex;
If the conditions are limited and you have to share a room, cover the bodhisattva with a clean cloth;
Sacrifice cannot be meat;
I can think of these for the time being;
Supplement downstairs.
What general suggestions does Guanyin Bodhisattva have for the placement direction of the upper position, that is, the position that you can see at a glance when you open the door, that is, the theme. Sit in this seat, at every door, when people come in, you will see it first. This position is the big position, which is the upper position. Because the building of the house faces different directions, no matter which direction, it is necessary to worship the Buddha in the upper position, not to engage in the southeast and northwest. That's right. If the door faces south, the Guanyin statue faces south; If the door opens to the north, Guanyin Bodhisattva will sit to the south. Don't worship in front of the window, in the bedroom, in the corner, near the toilet, at the bottom of the cabinet, etc. It should be noted that Guanyin and Buddha statues should not be placed in unclean places, for example, Guanyin Bodhisattva should not be facing the bathroom.
Buddha statues can be placed according to local conditions, but the most important point is that they should not face north, and they should not face north when doing homework, such as chanting Buddha numbers and meditation. We don't have that much energy to fill, because we are heading north to hell. If the residential space is limited, it can be planned in the living room or study, with a higher space or cabinet for worship, supplemented by incense burners, flowers and clear water, which is solemn. There must be no sundries on the Buddha statue. You can burn incense every day after offering, or you can only burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of the first month. Before you erect a Buddha statue at home, you must unify your thoughts with your family. You can't say, do or mean any disbelief or disrespect, otherwise, you will create a career. In principle, worship on the balcony is not allowed. Leng Xia is hot in winter, and the environment is not clean and quiet.
I think there is no doubt about the necessity and importance of offering sacrifices to gods and saints. Many friends will compare idealism with materialism debate. Let's not talk about whether it is necessary for the time being. Many national major engineering projects, from ancient times to the present, have been recorded in the history book "Taibao Chao Luo, no fasting" about the importance of geomantic omen and the position of God. The legend that Liu Ji chose the site according to the emperor's will must be familiar to everyone; In the Song Dynasty, Li Jie's "architectural style" also had the importance of divinity, site selection and geomantic omen. Nanjing, the capital of Sun Yat-sen, was also decided after the study of Feng Shui. Everyone must have seen "Only a mother is good in the world", in which the owner was seriously ill when he was a child and stopped breathing. His mother is very helpless. She knelt down and nodded at every step from home until she bumped into the front of the temple. Later, she touched the sky, but her son's illness was cured. Of course, this is only a work of art, but art also comes from life, which also shows the importance of sacrifice in life at that time.
The best way to place Guanyin Bodhisattva to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva is (facing south), but the worship at home is often restricted by various conditions, so we should adjust measures to local conditions and don't stick to the direction, but it is best not to place it facing south.
Where should I put the Guanyin Bodhisattva at home? When offering Buddha and setting up a Buddhist altar at home, it is generally a folk belief or custom to ask someone to open the icon of Buddha and Bodhisattva first, and at the same time choose a good date and place. From the perspective of doing as the Romans do, this is understandable; Opening the light indicates prudence, choosing the date and place, and praying for good luck. But from the perspective of Buddhism, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are everywhere, and there are ten Buddhas and ten treasures to protect dragon day in all directions. Of course, there are no imaginary problems in folk beliefs, as long as you think it is the most honorable position and settle down for the Buddha statue at the most appropriate time with the most sincere mood. It depends on everyone's situation. If the residence is very small, or if you live in a public dormitory, it is definitely inconvenient to share one room and one house with your colleagues and classmates. Then, only when you recite the scriptures regularly in class, you can temporarily show the Buddhist scriptures as Buddha statues and put them in a considerable position. There is no need to set incense burners and candlesticks, and there is no need to provide water, flowers and incense. Just ask questions and worship before and after class to show piety and respect. If both roommates and roommates believe in Buddhism, of course, you can set up a Buddhist altar or hall with the same name; If you are the only one who studies Buddhism devoutly, you should not arouse public anger by forcibly entering the Buddhist altar because of your special performance. If only one person in the whole family studies Buddhism, they should also live in public dormitories, otherwise it will cause family quarrels. Don't make your family feel disgusted and resentful about Buddhism because of learning Buddhism. If the whole family believes in Buddhism, learns Buddhism, or you are a parent, or a couple are classmates, and there is still a room or room at home, it is best to set up a Buddhist altar or hall. If you set up a Buddhist altar, you should choose a suitable position in the living room, that is, the direction in which the owner sits. Don't face the window behind the Buddha statue, but face the doors and windows so that people can see it at a glance when they enter the door. The Buddhist altar is the center of the family and should have the function of stability and security. As for the location determined by geographers, it can be used as a reference, but there is no need to stick to superstition. As long as you don't point the Buddha at the toilet, the stove or directly at your bed. When setting up a Buddhist temple, you should choose a quiet room, not a place where children, cats and dogs play; Nor is it a place for people to gather, laugh and have a feast. It is only used for chanting and meditation, and it is not used for other purposes. Gods such as Gong, Mazu, land, ancestors, and the main cards of gods, which were originally provided at home, should not be abolished immediately because they believed in Buddhism and learned from Buddhism, but should be gradually carried out. First, put the icons of Buddha and Bodhisattva in the right place and the ancestral cards of other gods on both sides, so there is no need to put incense tables and candlesticks. Because all good gods and ancestors will protect and be close to the Three Treasures, they can also become disciples of the Three Treasures after offering sacrifices to Buddha and Bodhisattva icons and gain the benefits of Buddhism. The next time you move the Buddhist altar and the Buddhist temple, you can keep the original statues as antiques. As for the ancestral cards, they can be moved to the ancestral hall of the temple and do not need to be enshrined at home. If you still want to worship, you can put it under the Buddha statue or move it to another place and worship it alone in an ancestral altar smaller than the Buddha altar. For example, if the temple is big, there will be another hall for the dead, specially for the dead card; If the temple is small, longevity cards and past life cards will be provided on both sides of the main hall Buddha altar. This can not only show filial piety to ancestors, but also show lofty belief in buddhas and bodhisattvas, which is different from filial piety. Families don't need too much, too complicated and too messy to worship Buddha and Bodhisattva icons. One Buddha can represent ten thousand buddhas, and one bodhisattva can represent all buddhas and bodhisattvas. Most families worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, Sakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha and Pharmacist Buddha. You can choose one of them. If there are already icons of Buddha and Bodhisattva, put the Buddha statue in the middle or above the back, and the Bodhisattva in the front or below. We must make the Buddha stand out to show its dignity. The size of the icon should be commensurate with the spatial position of the Buddhist altar and the Buddhist temple, neither too big nor too small. If the icon is small and made of seven treasures, you can carve multiple niches to set off the greatness of the Buddha statue. After purchasing the Buddha and Bodhisattva icons, most people advocate holding the opening ceremony. From the Buddhist point of view, the opening ceremony is not necessarily necessary. Because the Buddha-Bodhisattva statue is only a tool for practice, the feelings of Buddha and Bodhisattva are everywhere, and the icon is the object of worship. Without idols, there is no object to worship, support and respect. Through this kind of practice, you can get the benefits of practice and get the induction of Buddha and Bodhisattva. But the most important thing is the feeling of confidence, piety and respect, not the icon itself. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the icon is open or not. When Buddha Sakyamuni was alive, disciples of the world missed him for three months and made statues for him. There is no record of opening a light. ......& gt& gt
Where should I put Guanyin Bodhisattva at home? Amitabha, what direction should we face?
Only at the Buddha offering ceremony on the third floor did fellow initiates give a more comprehensive explanation of the worship of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Guanyin Bodhisattva is one of the three saints in the West, with twenty-one Tara incarnations. Fellow initiates might as well hang or set up an altar in front of this Buddha statue in the west. You can put seven Buddhist altars (common in your temple) or simply put an incense burner to burn incense in the morning and evening. I can't, as long as the spiritual bodhisattva is here on the first day, it's not strange. You must worship at ordinary times. You can put some vegetarian dishes, fruits and flowers in front of the Buddha statue to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. Vegetarians are most afraid of seeing bloody meat. If you are a carnivore, please don't play in front of the Buddha statue and avoid eating.
If you want to make a fortune, there is also Guanyin Five to support your fortune.
Five kinds of offerings are offered in front of the altar, namely grains, medicinal materials, precious stones, spices and others.
Five kinds of cereals should be used, such as white rice, wheat, oats, rice and Redmi.
There are five kinds of materials to be used, namely, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Glycyrrhizae and Radix Astragali.
Five kinds of spices are used. These five kinds are fixed sandalwood, agarwood, musk and musk.
Others include hardware, five beans, five money, five cloths and five cakes.
Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin and other hardware.
Red beans, mung beans, soybeans, black beans and eyebrows are five kinds of beans.
For example, five dollars.
Five kinds of fabrics, such as linen, silk, cotton and wool man-made fibers.
Five u such as banana cake, sugar cake, old woman cake, chess piece cake, bean paste cake
Also, avalokitesvara D, which is enshrined with precious stones, must be against the wall and not hung behind it, otherwise it will not work, because it does not conform to the tantric regulations and makes the Buddha unstable. ,,,,,, involves the layout of geomantic omen, so as not to be used by bad people ... Generally, altars should be used to burn incense, but there is no need to put them.
No matter what kind of worship is adopted, we must be kind and do good. As the saying goes, if you don't go home for thousands of miles, you can't see two living bodhisattvas clearly. Many people glare at their parents while praying to God and worshiping Buddha. They can't honor their parents and elders, nor can they be kind to others. Without a compassionate heart, it is absolutely rare to protect the Buddha and Bodhisattva.
Amitabha is willing to practice all evils by fellow practitioners.

Where should I put the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva at home? The statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is best placed in the center of the hall at home, because the Buddha and Bodhisattva should have a niche on the floor, facing south or sitting east. If conditions do not allow living in buildings, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will be quieter and face the same direction. The sacrifice case is large and small, 1. 15 meters high, which is right in your heart. Don't put shoes and medicine under the condition of sacrifice, which doesn't conform to the concept of sacrifice. Rural houses are large in the east and face south, if Westinghouse is not allowed. Keep clean and quiet.
Where should Guanyin Bodhisattva be placed at home? Which way does it face? How high is the kitchen besides the bathroom, the couple's bedroom! ,, clean and lofty at home, can offer Buddha! Don't say location, because avalokitesvara is everywhere! For the convenience of incense, the height can be, 1.26 m, 1.33 m, or 1.53 m!
Do you pay attention to placing bodhisattvas at home? Dazhen Kampo A: Generally speaking, the Buddhist scriptures are placed above the Buddhist niches, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva statues are placed below: the Buddha is in the middle, the Bodhisattva is next to it, and then the dharma is protected. You can also look at your self-confidence, which Buddha and Bodhisattva you are confident about, which one is placed in the middle, and the others are placed next to you. There are some specific requirements for the placement of Buddha statues, which can be placed as required; If you don't follow the requirements, you can look at your mentality. I often talk about my god in tantric schools. My favorite and most confident Buddha and Bodhisattva is this Buddha. You can think of him as the totality of all buddhas. A statue is everything, everything is a statue. He is your god. For example, Amitabha, you can regard him as the totality of all Buddhas. Guanyin Bodhisattva and Manjusri Bodhisattva are all his visions. When you read Amitabha, you actually read all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In this case, Amitabha is your deity.
What amitabha should be paid attention to when placing Guanyin bodhisattva statue!
Please see the instructions of the boss Shi Jingqing:
Some students came to ask me about the location of Buddha statues and Bodhisattva statues enshrined in my home. Someone came to tell him that this is wrong, and that is also wrong. What should I do? This is a disturbing demon. He made you separate, make you persistent and upset, so he decided not to listen. Where should the Buddha statue at home be enshrined? If you have many houses, you should leave a Buddhist temple to support the Buddha; If there are not many rooms, they can be provided in the living room. The living room is on the top floor. What's the difference? Sit in this seat and let's go into the house. At first glance, this direction is up.
Sacrificing Buddha statues has two important meanings, which must be understood. The first is to always remind yourself of respect, which is very important! Respect is the expression of human nature. You often read "all aspects" in reading books. Buddha and Bodhisattva are sincere and respectful to people and things! Are we sincere and respectful to people and things? Sincere respect for all people and things, this person is a Buddha and a bodhisattva. I like this man, and I respect him a little; That man is my sworn enemy, and I hate him to death. This is an ordinary person. All buddhas and bodhisattvas are respected, and their decisions are equal and clean. There is no competition, and there is no difference. So we worship the Buddha statue, because we are respectful to the Buddha, and we immediately thought: I want to be respectful to all sentient beings and everything. The scripture says: All living beings were originally Buddhas. Therefore, you should respect every living being like a Buddha. This is the first meaning of offering Buddha statues, which is called true offering. This Buddha statue determines good luck!
The second meaning of worshipping Buddha statues is to repay gratitude. Buddha is our first teacher, and we can get the extraordinary benefits of Buddhism today. Don't forget the fundamental teacher. So we worship Buddha, not as a god, but as a teacher. As soon as I see the Buddha statue, I want to realize that I want to learn Buddha! The Buddha statue is there, reminding me not to be fascinated, and its significance is here. Secondly, when I saw this Buddha statue, I knew I was a Buddha myself. I don't think that I am a Buddha; I am imagining things. I am an ordinary person. Therefore, becoming a Buddha and ordinary people are between your own thoughts!
