Guanyin eats vegetarian food and observes fasting, and only flowers and fruits should be used as offerings. Therefore, if it is placed together with other gods, then other gods cannot be worshiped with three animals. The second is that Guanyin is the God of Buddhism (Guanyin is pure and has no time to abstain from eating meat and fish), while 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 hatred and makes achievements in bloodshed! Therefore, the two are combined They are placed together for worship, which is really incompatible. Third, as mentioned above, Emperor Guan should face the gate, but Guanyin does not need to do this. It is best for Guanyin to "sit west to east". 2. Avalokitesvara's three no-directions. Avalokitesvara is pure and flawless and abstains from smells and smells, so it has three no-directions: one is not towards the toilet; the second is not towards the door; the third is not towards the dining table. If you can abide by the above three avoidances, it will probably not be a problem. 4. Pay attention to the placement of Buddha statues. Most residences have a sacred desk. Of course, the secular act of worshiping Buddha is used to protect the safety of life and property. Please go home to worship the holy statue of the Buddha in the morning and evening to ensure safety. However, you should know that Buddha statues How many side effects will there be after you go home, and how should you deal with it to ensure safety? 1. Please take the Buddha statue home and never treat it as a valuable antique or lock it in a safe. This is the most disrespectful thing. Otherwise, it will make the family feel uneasy. 2. There is no need to worry about the quality of the Buddha statue, as long as solemnity is the principle. 3. Do not place the Buddha statue in the bedroom to avoid having too many dreams at night. 4. Don’t invite Buddha statues home as soon as you see them. The more Buddha statues there are, the easier it is for family members to become distracted. 5. Don’t throw away Buddha statues in unclean places. 6. If you carry the Buddha statue with you, you can go to the toilet together for convenience. 7. Old and unwanted Buddha statues should be brought to the temple, or burned with gold paper (return to their original places on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year). 8. When the Buddha statue is placed in the car, it should face forward and look ahead. 9. Do not place Buddha statues casually in the drawers of the Buddha table. 10. 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. 11. Do not throw away Buddha statues or amulet hangings in the bedroom. 12. Do not roll up the paper wall charts of Buddha statues, otherwise it will cause you a headache. 13. 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 even hours are also acceptable). If the eyes and fingers of the Buddha statue are damaged, they should be repaired and repainted in time, otherwise your 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.) 14. 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 the heart; believe in Jesus and gain eternal life - a heart of fraternity will never Birth and immortality, believe in Buddha - there is no birth and no death, all things are based on the mind, those with faith can obtain eternal life, those without faith, it will be difficult for immortals and Buddhas). 5. Ancestors should not be placed side by side with the gods. Some people place photos of their ancestors’ tablets on the sacred table, placed side by side with Guanyin, Guandi, Wong Tai Sin, etc., and put them together for worship. In fact, this is not appropriate, because the ancestors are just household gods, and it is difficult to compare them with these gods. It is more appropriate to put the ancestors under the "gods"! In short, worshiping gods is mainly for people to ask for peace of mind. If they commit adultery, If you violate laws and do things that are harmful to nature and justice, then even if you worship all the gods in the world, you will always feel guilty, which 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 the evil spirits will naturally retreat. 6. Placement of Gods and Buddhas 1. Be careful when placing shrines. People often ask: Setting up a shrine or a shrine in a house, business place or company office to offer worship to Buddha and worship gods will affect business operations or financial profits. Won't be helpful. Worshiping Buddha and worshiping gods was originally purely a personal belief, but later it often became a custom. Therefore, whether at home or abroad, you can see statues of gods or Buddhas enshrined in many business places or company offices to seek the protection of the Buddhas. From a purely Feng Shui perspective, after setting up the shrine in the temple, you need to light lamps and burn incense every day. It is a place where fire is strong among the five elements, so you should choose the location carefully when setting it up. However, most people, because they respect all Buddhas and gods, will carefully plan the location where they offer offerings to Buddhas and gods. In fact, it is not necessary to set up a shrine in a commercial place or company office, but if you decide to set it up, you must pay attention to some taboos and abide by some principles in Feng Shui.2. The basic principles are: 1. The deity should be placed in the auspicious side of the residence or the auspicious side of the owner's palace to achieve blessings. 2. The seat of the god should be toward the front of the house or to the left and right. It is forbidden to sit with your back turned. 3. The altar should be placed with its back against the wall. There must be a fixed wall behind the statues of Buddhas and gods as a backing. The left and right spaces of the altar table must be equal, or the left side (green dragon) can be slightly wider, but the right side (white tiger) cannot be too narrow. You can place a tree or Potted plants. In addition to burning incense, you should also always offer fragrant flowers and fruits to gods and Buddhas to show respect. 4. Avoid sitting on a mountain with your back to the house. 5. The god should not be placed in the evil side of Tai Sui. 6. The god should not be placed above the Tao. 7. The god should not be placed below the beam. Of course, we must avoid placing them under the beams, which will cause the gods and Buddhas to be pressed by the beams. If this happens, you can use the ceiling to deal with it, and there will be no serious problem. 8. It cannot be installed on the walls on both sides of the door entrance or room entrance. Because people come in and out of the channel, and the "movement" of opening and closing doors not only mixes the airflow, but also disrespects the gods and Buddhas. 9. The outer walls of toilets and storage areas or areas facing the toilet door should also be avoided. This place is filthy, unclean and blasphemous. There is water in the toilet, which is opposite to the fire. It will cause harm, have an adverse effect on the company personnel, and easily cause arguments about right and wrong. 10. Avoid facing the door of the office. People working with their faces wrapped up will feel like they are being supervised and will always feel uneasy. This will definitely affect their work mood in the long run. It is best to avoid this. 11. In multi-storey buildings or apartments, avoid placing the kitchen or toilet on the upper floor to avoid contamination. It would be even worse if sewage leaks. 12. "Revere God as if God is present". The most important thing for Buddhist temples and shrines is to be "quiet", that is, they should be in a clean and quiet place. They can be placed on the opposite wall facing the door. With the altar facing the door, if you open the door and see the Buddha, you will feel happy. Of course, it will be beneficial to interpersonal relationships, positivity, career development and financial resources. 13. When setting up, the location should be chosen where fire and earth or wood and fire are symbiotic. Since the five elements of incense and fire belong to fire, it is always ideal to use the hexagram position that generates fire or fire and earth. Avoid positions where fire, metal, and water and fire are in conflict, usually unless there is a transformation of the five elements. , otherwise it is relatively rare to place it on the two hexagram positions of Qian (Northwest) and Dui (West). 14. When setting up, in addition to the location must be based on the sitting direction of the house and the relationship between the indoor hexagrams and the five elements, attention should also be paid to the time of placement to avoid installing in the wrong location. In the fleeting years, Yin, Wu, Xunian and Sha sit in the north. God’s thrones (including those of ancestors) should never be placed facing north or south. The fleeting year meets Hai, Mao and Wei years, and the evil spirit sits in the west. God's thrones (including those of ancestors) must not be placed facing north or south. The fleeting year is in the east, the unitary year, the ugly year, and the bad year. God's thrones (including those of ancestors) should not be placed facing east or west. In the fleeting years of Shen, Zi, and Chen, the evil spirits sit in the south. God’s thrones (including those of ancestors) should not be placed facing south or north. 15. During decoration, if the owner of the house wants to make a sacred table, he should pay attention to the following points: ⑴The height of the sacred table should be measured in door meters, and the appropriate height should be measured from the ground, and the word "auspicious" should be used. ⑵Measure the length of the divine table from left to right to the appropriate length, and use the word "auspicious" as the symbol. ⑶The distance across from the sacred table should be two and a half places higher than the height of the sacred table, which is considered auspicious. ⑷ There should be no electric poles, interior or exterior corners, pillars or any other unsightly objects opposite the sacred table. ⑸The fluorescent lamps in front of the table should be parallel to each other. ⑹ The sacred table should not be higher than the threshold. It is called the "Heng Jian" and is the main evil. In short, the design principle of the shrine in the Buddhist temple is to be solemn, serious and spiritual. The ideal setting of the shrine in the Buddhist hall can not only enrich the soul and spirit, but also help the business prosper, so you must be cautious in everything you do.
