Taboos for worshiping Guanyin Bodhisattva at home

Ten taboos about Guanyin Bodhisattva at home:

1. Although the Guanyin statue enshrined at home deserves our respect, it cannot be treated as a priceless treasure and hidden tightly, especially if it is placed Locking the safe is disrespectful.

2. The table where the Guanyin statue is placed must face the door of your home. You can refer to all temples and Taoist temples. All main statues face the door.

3. Guanyin Bodhisattva is the God of Buddhism, with great mercy and compassion, and saves all living beings. He avoids killing. It is best to sit west to east when placed.

4. The ancestral tablets at home should not sit on the same level as the Guanyin statue. Feng Shui believes that ancestors belong to the family god, while Guanyin Bodhisattva belongs to the god of heaven. They cannot be worshiped side by side.

5. Avalokitesvara statues enshrined at home should not be placed in the bedroom, as they may cause more dreams.

6. The more Guanyin statues at home, the better. The more Buddha statues placed at home, the more confused the family will be, causing discord among everyone.

7. The Guanyin Buddha statue at home cannot face the north. Even if you do homework, worship, meditate, etc., you cannot face the north.

8. If there are other Buddha statues at home, remember not to worship the Guanyin statue together with them. Because Guanyin Bodhisattva is a vegetarian, we usually only offer flowers, fruits and other vegetarian food, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

9. Do not throw away the Guanyin statue at home in an unclean place.

10. When the Guanyin statue is brought home, no matter what table it is enshrined on, a piece of red paper must first be placed under the Guanyin statue. The color red wards off evil spirits and brings good luck. What are the requirements for worshiping Guanyin?

1. Avalokitesvara should be seated west to east. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva’s dojo is in Putuo Mountain in the East China Sea, so it is advisable to sit west to east, so as to echo Mount Putuo in the East China Sea.

2. Guanyin should not be placed on the dining table. Unless your family is a vegetarian for a long time, it is best not to place the Guanyin noodles enshrined at home on the dining table.

3. If the eyes and fingers of the Guanyin statue enshrined at home are damaged, they should be repaired or repainted in time, otherwise people in the family will get sick in the same parts.
