The position of Buddha statue
Of course, the actual situation can be flexibly mastered according to your actual decoration, and the harmony between Buddhism and law is possible.
Where is the top? 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 orientation of the house is different, no matter which direction, we will provide Buddha stalks in the upper position, not in the southeast and northwest, which is right.
The young man who is good at money and knowledge in Hua Yan Jing visited the south. This "south" is definitely not the south of the southeast and northwest. What if only the south has good knowledge, while the north, the east and the west have no good knowledge? Why doesn't all good knowledge flow to the south? "South" is a representation, representing light. Among the five elements, south is fire, fire represents light, and light represents wisdom. Good knowledge is a wise man. The place where he lives, that place is called "South". Good learning is a man with good fortune, and the place where he lives is also called "Fucheng". Therefore, Fucheng and the south do not refer to one direction or one region. We should understand the meaning of Buddhism.
We should understand that as long as we sincerely and respectfully support and respect Buddha and Bodhisattva, we can eliminate disasters and take refuge.
Brief introduction of various forms of supply tools;
Burning incense is not for Buddha and Bodhisattva to eat, nor for Buddha and Bodhisattva to smell. Used to remind yourself that if you never forget the teachings of Buddha and Bodhisattva, you will never do anything wrong or regret it.
People have troubles inside, temptations outside, wealth confuses wisdom, and color confuses wisdom. Offering incense is to remind themselves to have the wisdom and heart of Buddha and Bodhisattva when judging others.

Burning lanterns is to support the public with wisdom and light, and help them break myths and become enlightened. Burning incense is to help the public turn evil into good. Look at the meaning of this sentence "Incense" means teaching by example. Everyone who studies Buddhism knows that there are precepts in the incense praise that are really fragrant, and the five-point dharma body is fragrant. So we burn incense and play lanterns in front of Buddha and Bodhisattva every day. You should understand what it means, not what Buddha and Bodhisattva want. "Incense lamp" is to remind ourselves. When we see cigarettes and smell incense, we should think of quitting; When you see the lamp offered to Buddha and Bodhisattva, you should think of wisdom. Jieding will be a triple gem, "with many precious colors."

It is common to offer flowers and fruits in front of the Buddha. It is often seen that people come to temples with fragrant flowers and fruits to offer sacrifices to buddhas and bodhisattvas. What do you mean? Flowers represent cause, and fruit is fruit. Flowers are good, career is good, and fruit is good. If fruit is good, it will be good. Flowers and fruits represent cause and effect, so you can see that you often think that planting well leads to good results. If you can think of this, the light will shine and your heart will shine! It's not for flowers to be seen and appreciated by buddhas and bodhisattvas. Buddhas and bodhisattvas are all clay sculptures. How to appreciate them? Buddha and bodhisattva will not eat fruit, so we must understand this truth. This is teaching. Don't misunderstand the meaning! Someone asked, which flowers can't be dedicated to Buddha and Bodhisattva? What fruits can't be offered to buddhas and bodhisattvas? Then this is superstition. In Buddhism, no matter what N kinds of flowers can be sacrificed, no matter what N kinds of fruits can also be sacrificed to the Buddha. Why n? Table method! When you see a flower, you will know the reason. What is the reason? Six degrees in all directions. Flowers represent six degrees of radiance. In Hua Yan Jing, flowers represent ten paramita and fruits represent Bodhi nirvana. In Jingzong, the fruit represents the pure land of death, and the pure land of death proves the fruit, and the fruit is a flower and fruit.
Our most common water supply, water is the most important of all offerings, provide a glass of water. It is best to hold water in a transparent glass. Why? Let's see, this is the best, it shows the law! What does water stand for? Water represents our hearts. This glass of water is clean and pollution-free, showing a clean heart. There are no waves in the water, it is flat, representing equality. So this glass of water is for us to see. We often think that my own heart should be pure and equal, that's what it means. Water can be supplied all the time, as can flowers, fruits and lanterns, so that you can see them day and night, which will arouse the Tathagata's teaching to us at any time. It always reminds me that I am in that place, that's what it means. Just because food can't be preserved for a long time, because there is less expression for food and more expression for gratitude. When we eat three meals a day, we don't forget: I want to support the Buddha and all sentient beings in the dharma world. Buddhism is called giving, and giving is giving to all ghosts and gods ... >>
Where should the Buddha be placed? Although most people are not superstitious now, for many people, especially business people, they still pay great attention to geomantic omen, and they still go to worship the gods worshipped at home every Friday. If a Buddha statue is invited, where should I put it at home? It is best not to put pictures of Buddha in bedrooms and restaurants. It is best to stick it in the living room or study, which is more hidden. In addition, the portrait posted is higher. How should things like Buddha statues be placed correctly when they go home? Pay attention to the placement of Buddha statues: 1. When placing a Buddha statue, you should first put a piece of red paper under the Buddha statue, because red can ward off evil spirits. 2. If the Buddha statue is a wall chart, you should cut a piece of red paper the size of Zhang Yiyuan and stick it on the rosette or seat of the Buddha statue to show good luck.

Unwanted Buddha statues should be invited to the temple or burned with gold paper. 8. When the Buddha statue is placed in the car, face forward and look forward. 9. Never roll up the Buddha paper wall chart, otherwise it will cause you a headache.
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.
How to place the Buddha statue in the living room at home should first pay attention to respect and make people feel pious when they see it. Cleanliness is highly preferred, at least above the waist, and the dharma is respectful. Just like a real Buddha, the heart is Buddha! Huanla!
What is the emphasis on the placement of Buddha statues? Then the Buddha statues are arranged in any direction, as long as their faces do not face north. North means hell in Buddhism. Generally, only the killing Buddha of Tibetan Buddhism will face north. Other Buddha statues generally face west, south or east, because the other three parties have three treasures of Buddha. Oriental pharmacist Tathagata, western Amitabha Buddha, southern secular Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha.
Generally, the rooms where the Buddha statues are placed are separate rooms, which are specially used by the elderly or the elderly. Because there is no marriage and no moon affairs, there will be no disrespect for the Buddha. Or near the TV in the living room and the coffee table in the restaurant.
My suggestion is to put the Buddha statues in the east, and sit in the east like the west, because most Buddha statues sit in the east like the west, and the west is the direction of Buddha Sakyamuni's lecture. Just put it in the place marked "East" on the map.
Also, because it is dedicated in a separate room, it is suggested to add a Buddhist altar to see the adjustment of personal wishes and the size of the Buddha statue.
By the way, seeking Buddha and enlightenment is more important than being an out-and-out foreign minister. So the form is appropriate, otherwise it is greed.
The correct placement of the Buddha statue? I think what you need to know is what these three buddhas are, so that you can know how to put them.
Sakyamuni Buddha is the Buddha of the modern world. In the present Buddhist world, it is one of the three enlightened buddhas. Others are Tathagata, Amitabha, and Sakyamuni in the south. The north is the hell of Buddhism, so this is the principle that most Buddha statues do not face north.
Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha, that is, the successor of Sakyamuni Buddha, so it can be placed with Sakyamuni in the decoration of the altar. If conditions permit, it is recommended to put it down.
Guanyin Bodhisattva is a bodhisattva level, which is different from Buddha level and can only be placed at a lower level than Buddha and Maitreya Buddha. And Guanyin is a bodhisattva who protects the left side of the Buddha, usually placed on the left side of the Buddha.
So Sakyamuni is the highest, followed by Maitreya, and finally Guanyin. On the same floor, there is Sakyamuni Buddha in the middle, Guanyin on the left and Miller Buddha on the right.
How to place the Buddha statue at home (where the Buddha statue is placed) Many people will place auspicious items at home, while those who believe in Buddhism will place the Buddha statue at home. I believe that people who believe in Buddhism have a certain understanding of the placement of Buddha statues, but I would like to mention here that before placing Buddha statues, it is also standardized to talk about the number of Buddha statues. Generally, Buddha statues are represented by three statues: for example, the three saints in the west, the amitabha in the middle is complete, and the bodhisattva on the left is mighty; On the right, avalokitesvara bodhisattva shows great sorrow, such as Hua Yan, Sansheng, Chinese Buddha shows perfection, Zuo Manjusri Bodhisattva shows great wisdom, and right Bodhisattva shows great merit. At home, whether it is a Buddha statue on a holy table, desk or bookcase, a piece of red paper (red to ward off evil spirits, 7 inches in diameter) should be cut and placed under the Buddha's seat to show good luck. If the Buddha statue is in the form of a wall chart, you should cut a piece of red paper the size of Zhang Yiyuan and stick it on the lotus seat or seat of the Buddha statue to show good luck. Select the first day, fifteenth day and Shi Mao. If the Buddha is to be placed on the table of the Buddhist temple, pad a small plate with red paper. Please go home and don't treat the Buddha statue as a valuable antique, but lock it in a safe, which is the most disrespectful. Otherwise, it will make the family very uneasy (children have many colds). Don't care about the quality of the Buddha statue, just be solemn and affectionate. If you don't want the old Buddha statue, please go to the temple or burn it with gold paper (the fifteenth day of the first lunar month). On the placement of Buddha statues and hanging symbols at home. Don't throw away the Buddha statue or amulet in the bedroom. Never roll up the paper wall chart of the Buddha statue, or it will give you a headache. Buddha statues should not be discarded in unclean places at will. In addition, people who believe in Buddhism should be pious and treat Buddha statues piously. As the saying goes, people who have faith in their hearts can live forever, and those who have no faith in their hearts, even the immortal Buddha, can't make them cross over.
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.

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.
If the location of the Buddha statue at home is completely enclosed with the balcony, we can consider providing it in these two places. One is that the enclosed space can avoid interfering with the normal Buddhist rituals and chanting, and the other is that the enclosed space is rainproof and windproof, which is convenient for protecting the Buddha statue.
If these two areas are semi-enclosed, they can be provided next to the living room sofa and close to the storage room. But pay attention to the east bedroom. Get up and go to the toilet at night, and put on clothes. You can't be shirtless or shorts, so as not to desecrate the Buddha statue. Therefore, it is best to cover the Buddha statue in this position with yellow silk at night.
