The placement of Buddha statues can not be ignored. Usually, when the Guanyin Buddha statue is displayed, the position is first, and then the surrounding environment. If the door faces south, it is sitting facing south. If it's heading north. Then it just sits south facing north. Generally, temples will set up special halls for statues of buddhas and bodhisattvas, but families can't do this most of the time. Due to the limitation of area, if we want to set a reasonable one, we must consider the direction and position that needs to be avoided.
When it comes to the placement of Buddha statues, many people put Guanyin and Guandi together for worship. In fact, this placement is very inappropriate. The placement and selection of Buddha statues is the key, because Guanyin is the god of Buddhism, and Guandi is just a hero idol worshipped by the people. And Guanyin is merciful and abstains from killing. On the contrary, Guandi was an evil man who made great contributions with his blood. Families don't need too much, too complicated and too messy to worship Buddha and Bodhisattva icons. It is not appropriate to offer too many sacrifices, first, because of the limitation of family space, and second, because too many sacrifices are inevitable.
Therefore, it is really inappropriate to worship the two together. Someone mentioned that Guandi should face the gate, but Guanyin didn't need this. Guanyin is most suitable for "sitting west to east". In addition, because Guanyin is clean and flawless, there are three directions for the placement of Guanyin: First, don't go to the toilet. Second, don't come to the door. Three don't go to the table.
Don't put the Buddha statue behind the window, but face the doors and windows so that people can see it at a glance when they enter the door. In this way, the Buddha can release his Buddha's light and ensure your peace and good luck. Also, be careful not to point the Buddha at the toilet, stove or directly at your bed. These are places that pollute the air, and worshipping Buddha and Bodhisattva is blasphemous. Worship Buddha and Bodhisattva should be simple and solemn, no matter sitting, standing or lying down, you can choose according to your preferences.
If you have many houses and enough space, you can set aside a room as a Buddhist temple, but if the room is not enough, it is ok to put it in the living room or study. But it should be noted that it is not random to put it in the living room or study. The living room is on the top floor. Generally speaking, the Buddha statues in temples are placed directly above the main hall, and they can be placed at home. Generally speaking, when people enter this house, they see it at first sight.
If the Buddha statue is enshrined at home, it needs to be opened first. If you don't open it, you can only say it's a handicraft, because keeping you safe and auspicious is not so spiritual. Speaking of opening Buddha statues, many friends may not know how to change them. Opening the light is also called opening the light, opening your eyes, being open-minded, and opening your eyes to support. Therefore, the newly carved Buddha statue needs a master to say a few words, make a gesture and open his eyes directly. This is the first sight of Buddha. In Buddhism, the carved Buddha statue is not the original wood carving or stone carving, but a god in the religious sense.
To light the Buddha statue, the mage first wipes the Buddha statue with a new towel, which means that the beads are clean, because many people pass by in the process of shaping the beads, and then they recite scriptures and mantras to praise their merits. Then the mage picked up the cinnabar pen, and then made a "point" movement in the direction of the Buddha's eye and shouted "Open". After the ceremony above, the Buddha beads really began to have aura.
Because of the merits and demerits of Buddha and Bodhisattva, practitioners of Buddhism have different opinions. They often refer to the "six links" for the Buddha, that is, the eye, the ear, the nose, the tongue, the body and the mind, so that the Buddha has six magical powers, which can observe everything in time, listen to human sufferings, smell the taste of time and taste the ups and downs of the world. When you are in trouble, you are clear-headed. Therefore, if you want the blessing of the beads, then the first thing to do is to open the light.
