So, how to decorate the Buddhist temple? What is the pressure? First of all, the Buddhist temple should be set up according to the actual situation of your home, not in the living room where you often walk around; Secondly, don't light all night? Let's take a look at the specific content of Bian Xiao. I hope it helps you! How about setting up a Buddhist temple at home?

1, see xian Si Qi.

Buddhists should follow the example of Buddha and Bodhisattva, and always look up to them in practice and morality. One of the meanings of setting up a Buddhist temple at home is to visit the sage Si Qi. The reason why the Buddha can achieve the perfection of happiness, wisdom and knowledge of all beings is that he follows the correct practice method and takes the three treasures as his conversion, and gradually achieves perfection in practice.

As a Buddhist disciple at home, because of study and work, I can't go to the temple to get close to the Sambo every day, so I set up a small Buddhist temple at home to worship the Buddha statue of incense lanterns every day, which is also close to the Sambo and widely planted Futian.

And you can see Buddha and Bodhisattva statues every day, which plays a role of constant warning. Whenever I see the Buddha-Bodhisattva statue, I will live with peace of mind in Buddhism, so that when I walk, live, sit down and start thinking, I can always think about taking the teaching method of Buddhism as the norm, and I will not be influenced by the bad habits at the beginning.

You know, ordinary people can't get rid of it from the beginning, on the one hand, because they didn't meet the three treasures as soon as possible and didn't hear the wonderful way to get rid of them; On the other hand, because of the great power of bad habits, we can't always put inner peace above mindfulness and kindness. If you can always meet the sage Si Qi, have a Buddha in your heart and follow the teachings, you can turn evil into good and make everything holy. From this perspective, it is of great significance to set up a Buddhist temple at home.

2. Buddhist family

Many people will encounter opposition from their families at the beginning of learning Buddhism, instead of the whole family believing in Buddhism at the beginning and learning Buddhism together. A small Buddhist temple was built at home. Offer a glass of water and incense every morning. Fruits and vegetarian dishes are served on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, or on the Christmas day of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Sooner or later, I will worship Buddha and recite scriptures in front of the Buddhist temple and do my homework. Over time, my family also became interested in Buddhism. After Buddhism, every family member can take the teaching method of Buddhism as his own code of conduct, and the world outlook and outlook on life are consistent, which is of great benefit to the family and the beauty salon, or is of great help in practice, such as the whole family eating vegetarian food together and arranging reasonable time to do homework together; Study hard together, this is really a loving family.

3. Easy to practice

Buddhist disciples should study according to the lesson every day. Generally speaking, they should recite the scriptures in the morning and evening. For laymen, because of work or school, they can't go to the temple to worship Buddha every day, so it seems more convenient to study in the small Buddhist hall set up at home.

When is a good time to build a Buddhist temple?

In Buddhism, every day is a good day, so there is no need to choose the right time. When is the best day? The first and fifteenth days of the first lunar month should be the best auspicious days, as long as you prepare incense, flowers, lights, fruits and tea, and have a pure and pious heart. If you are grand, you can prepare vegetarian dishes; Learning Buddha is the compassion of learning Buddha, so you should be vegetarian in any celebration and worship Buddha on weekdays.

How to decorate the Buddhist temple at home

Setting up a Buddhist temple should be based on the actual situation of your home. If someone in the family does not believe in Buddhism, then in order to avoid family conflicts, the Buddhist temple should not be placed in the middle of the living room (living room) where people walk frequently. You can choose a corner of the room, or balcony, study, independent small room, mainly quiet, because you have to do homework there. When choosing the location of a Buddhist temple, you can design your own Buddhist temple according to the area (size) of this location. Since it is a Buddhist temple, Buddha statues are indispensable. Tibetan Buddhism has Thangka, and Han Buddhism has Buddha paintings, which can be hung on the walls of Buddhist temples.

There is usually an altar in a Buddhist temple. The altar can be customized according to the area of the Buddhist temple, or it can be replaced by an idle table at home. The Buddha statue can be placed on the altar, and a niche can be made for the Buddha statue if conditions permit. Usually, the Buddha statue is placed in the middle of the altar against the wall, with Bodhisattva on both sides and Dharma on the side. Put a passage next to the Buddha statue or on the niche to represent Buddhism. Scriptures should be wrapped in yellow cloth or hada and kept clean. It's best to put a photo of conversion to the guru in the Buddhist temple. Buddhism pays more attention to the opening of Buddha statues. The significance of opening the Buddha statue has been explained in the previous blog post, so I don't need to repeat it here.

Some Buddha statues in Buddhist friends' homes cannot be opened for various reasons after being invited back. It doesn't really matter. If you sincerely offer them, the Buddha will also be blessed. The common offerings on the table are: offering cups (Tibetan Buddhism is seven or eight cups, representing: flowers, flowers, lights, oil and fruits; Han Buddhism is a three-offering cup, representing a Buddhist monk), incense sticks (Tibetan Buddhism uses a lying incense box and Han Buddhism uses a incense burner), and lamps (Tibetan Buddhism uses butter lamps, Han Buddhism uses incense sticks, and now there are lotus-shaped broadcast lamps to choose from). These are common products. In addition, Tibetan Buddhist laymen can also offer sacrifices to Eight Auspiciouss, Manzapan, Sodom (gallium) and utensils (Jingangling, Jingang, Gufa, Muyu, etc.). ), pure bottles, Aquarius, small pagodas, relics, Ganlu pills, etc. This depends on your own actual situation, just don't climb.

Taboos for setting up Buddhist temples at home

1, don't turn on the lights all night, especially red or dim lights, which are most likely to attract ghosts and non-people, leading to poor sleep and poor health, and bring bad luck to yourself or your family; Interpersonal relationships are tense and strange things happen frequently;

2. Don't put too many Buddhist scriptures, especially those turned upside down, such as "The Mouth of the Flame". These Buddhist scriptures are most likely to attract hidden beings to seek degrees. The best way is to send it to a temple or get married;

3. Don't use the warp wheel all night! Because the meridian wheel has the function of crossing over, some people find that there are always many hidden beings attached to it;

4. Don't leave the lights of Dalagni Tower on all night. The principle is the same as turning on a dim light at night, which is easy to attract hidden beings to attach to it;

5. Don't worship Buddha statues that have not been photographed by monks and nuns, or they will be easily occupied by hidden beings! It is easy to ask God, but difficult to send him. Once you don't want to sacrifice, if the demons live in the Buddha statue, your disaster will begin.

6. Don't offer incense 24 hours a day. The principle is the same as above Invisible beings can gradually increase their energy only by offering incense, while non-human or ghosts who absorb incense energy for a long time will be angry with admirers or their families, leading to frequent disasters. ...

7. People with poor health or bad luck should not play the recording of Tibetan scriptures all night, because after attracting many sentient beings, they will gather in your Buddhist temple, which will easily lead to illness and mental abnormality of themselves or their families! Because if you don't pass them, you will be controlled by them!

Matters needing attention in setting up a Buddhist temple at home

Because of the use of incense sticks, Buddhist temples should keep indoor light bright and air circulating. Before going out, put out the oil lamps and incense sticks (it is best to keep the moon bright for 24 hours, but pay attention to the safety of candles). Buddhist temple is a clean and solemn place, used for worship, chanting, meditation, reading and so on. And it is not suitable to eat with a smile in the middle, so as not to lose respect for Buddha and Bodhisattva.
