The Buddha statue can be placed on the desk, or it can be placed on the front, back, left, and right of the desk, but it must be higher than the table. It is better if it is higher than the top of the person's head (Buddha's light shines everywhere). And it's best to be stable and reliable, away from speakers.
There are other regulations for reference.
1. After the Buddha statue comes home, no matter whether it is placed on the sacred table, desk or bookcase, you should first cut a piece of red paper (red to avoid evil) (7 inches in diameter) and place it under the Buddha's seat as a symbol of auspicious.
2. If the Buddha statue is in the form of a wall chart, a piece of one-yuan-sized red paper should be cut and pasted on the Buddha's rosette or seat to indicate auspiciousness.
3. Please do not treat the Buddha statue as a valuable antique when you take it home, and lock it in a safe. This is the most disrespectful thing. Otherwise, the family will be insecure (children often catch colds).
4. There is no need to care about the quality of the Buddha statue, as long as solemnity is the principle.
5. Don’t place the Buddha statue in the bedroom to avoid having more dreams at night.
6. Don’t buy or take home Buddha statues as soon as you see them. The more Buddha statues there are, the easier it is for family members to become distracted.
7. Don’t throw away Buddha statues in unclean places.
8. If you carry the Buddha statue with you, you can go to the toilet together for convenience.
9. Old and unwanted Buddha statues should be invited to the temple, or burned with gold paper (return to their original position on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month).
10. Buddha statues should face forward when placed in the car.
11. Do not place Buddha statues casually in the drawers of the Buddha table.
12. If the small Buddha statue is to be placed on the table in the Buddhist hall, it should be placed on a small plate with red paper.
13. Do not throw away Buddha statues or talisman hangings in the bedroom.
14. Do not roll up the paper wall charts of Buddha statues, otherwise it will cause you a headache.
15. If the Buddha statues are damaged or cracked, they should use gold paper to burn them in the sun on one, three, five, seven or nine days (it is better to use fruits) and send them back to their original place (even days and double days). time can also be used).
16. Buddha statues or crosses (right hearts) have the same effect (there are the following sayings: Buddha is the heart, Jesus is also the heart; God is the heart, and heaven is also the heart; believe in Jesus and gain eternal life- ─The heart of fraternity will never be born or die. Believe in Buddha──It will never be born or die. All things are based on the mind. Those who have faith can obtain eternal life. Those who have no faith will have difficulty with immortals and Buddhas.)
If the eyes and fingers of the Buddha statue are damaged, they should be repaired and repainted in time, otherwise the family will suffer from the same strange disease. (For example, if your finger is broken, you can roll it up with red paper and fix it. If it is split on the body, at least use red paper to stick it up, or cut it into a hand shape to repair it.)

Four. Gods - Taishang Laojun (it is said that the status of Taishang Laojun is the same as that of the Buddha in Buddhism), Tianhou Empress, Lu Zu, Zhong Xu, Guan Di, Jigong, Dragon Mother Empress , the Great Sage Qitian, etc.
5. God of Wealth - such as the Five Gods of Wealth, Wu Wealth God (it is said that Emperor Guan is Wu Wealth God), Huang Wealth God, etc.;
6. Ancestors - the generation above one's own parents relatives.
7. Place - worshiped in the house. (See picture 1) Turning bad luck into good luck Chapter 8. Land - enshrined outside the door.
The incense mentioned in ancient books is one, two or three of the above eight categories...and so on. In modern times, they are generally called gods. The place where the gods are worshiped is commonly known as the "god seat" or "god building". It is rarely called "incense".
Having defined the representation of the divine throne, we now need to talk about whether the location of the divine throne is appropriate.
"Eight Houses Mirror" says: "The temple of the land god and the ancestral hall of the ancestors are all filled with incense." If you adopt the ancient prescription, you will be blessed, and if you are in trouble, you will be blamed.
Whether the location of the god's throne is in accordance with Feng Shui has a great influence. In Kanyu's words: "Good, bad, regret, and blame are all things that move." And incense is a kind of motivation. To take a step back, regardless of whether God or Buddha exists, when everyone worships incense in the morning and evening, the smoke and heat of the incense will rise upwards. It drives the air flow and creates motivation, and good or bad luck comes from this.
In terms of belief, Buddha, Bodhisattva, God of Heaven, King Kong, God of Wealth, etc. all bless the safety of the family and the stability of the family. The landlord not only represents the safety of the population, but also controls the wealth of the family. Therefore, if the god's throne is placed upright, it can stabilize the home and increase everyone's luck.
In addition to properly cooperating with the star hexagrams, the placement of the god's throne must also be coordinated with the luan head. The layout of the house is the small luan head. The simplest one must follow certain basic rules:
First, you need to have something to lean on, preferably against a wall, because the wall is a fixed place.
Second, it must be stable, preferably close to the corner, so that it is not easily hit by other things.
Third, be quiet. It is best not to have TVs, stereos, etc. nearby.
Fourth, there should be no obstruction in front of you.
The above is the basic method of auspiciousness for the four gods. At the same time, it is best to choose an auspicious day and time to place the statue. It is best to have a mage or master present when placing it.
Taboos for placing Buddha statues and sacred tables in home Feng Shui
According to customs, there are some taboos that you need to pay attention to when placing sacred tables:
The sacred table should face the door: The sacred table should face the door. If you don't believe it, please look at Taoist temples and temples all over the world. All the statues of gods face the door, and you will know that this statement is true. Except for some statues of gods at home that should face the door, the rest do not need to follow the rules; for example, "Guandi" and "Landlord God of Wealth" should face the door, but others do not need to be so. "Guandi" is the god of martial arts and wealth, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, holding a green dragon and moon sword. Not only is he extraordinary in power, but he is also righteous and awe-inspiring, so that he can scare evil spirits away. Therefore, most families regard him as the god of house control. If it is facing the door, it will have the function of guarding the door. "Landlord God of Wealth", whose full name is "Five Directions and Five Earth Dragon Gods, before and after the Landlord God of Wealth". In traditional Chinese society, the "landlord god of wealth" is enshrined inside the house, and the "land at the door" is enshrined outside the gate, one inside and one outside, as the patron saint of a house. However, many buildings now do not allow "door land" to be enshrined in the public corridors. Therefore, the "landlord and god of wealth" in the house must take on two roles and must face the door to prevent evil spirits from wreaking havoc in the house! It can be seen from the introduction that "Guandi" and "God of Wealth of the Land" should face the door.
Decoration of Guanyin
Many people worship Guanyin and Guandi together. In fact, this is not appropriate. Because Guanyin is the god of Buddhism, and Guandi is a heroic idol worshiped by the people; and Guanyin is compassionate and abstains from killing living things, while Guandi hates evil as much as he hates it, and makes achievements in bloodshed! Therefore, it is indeed incompatible to place the two together for worship. As mentioned above, Guandi should face the gate, but Guanyin does not need to do this. Guanyin is best "sitting west to east". In addition, because Guanyin is pure and flawless and avoids smelly smells, there are three directions not to face: one is not to the toilet; the other is not to the toilet. The door of the room; the third one does not face the dining table.
Ancestors should not be placed side by side with gods
Some families place photos of their ancestors’ memorial tablets on the god’s table, placing them side by side with Guanyin, Guandi, Wong Tai Sin, etc., and worship them together. . In fact, this is not appropriate, because ancestors are just family gods and cannot be compared with these gods. I think it is more appropriate to put ancestors under "gods"! To sum up, worshiping gods is mainly for people to have peace of mind. If they commit adultery or commit crimes that harm nature, then even if they worship all the gods in the world, they will still feel guilty and it will not help at all! If you do good deeds and accumulate blessings, you can feel at ease even if you don't worship the gods, and evil spirits will naturally retreat.
If you can abide by the above three taboos, it will probably not be a problem.
Please note that Guanyin is a vegetarian and observes fasting, so only flowers and fruits should be used as offerings. Therefore, if it is placed together with other gods, other gods cannot use three animals to worship it.
