I wanted to first explain about how to set up an altar, and why to set up an altar. We set up an altar or shrine so that we have a physical representation that reminds us of the qualities that we want to develop, and it also acts as a base in the presence of which we can make offerings and do purification and so on.

It&#x;s really nice, in your home or wherever you are, to have a little shrine. Or a big shrine. You can put it out in your living room, you can put it in another room. If you&#x;re married&#x;or even if you&#x;re not married&#x;better not to put it in your bedroom if you have a partner. And better not to put it in a room where there&#x;s a lot of other stuff, like your computer and your kids&#x; toys, and so on.

    A Buddhist home shrine can be a refuge, a gentle invitation to return to the moment, and a reminder of our higher principles. In this article, I will share my family’s process of creating a Buddhist home shrine, discuss what we learned, and share the resources I gathered to help us along in our process.

    As is so often the case when studying aspects of Buddhist practice, the information and advice I gathered as my family began this process was varied and flexible. Home altars range from simple, even sparse, to elaborate and ornate. I will highlight five components that are consistent amongst different traditions:

    1. Central purpose of a shrine
    2. Characteristics of the space (and mindset while creating the shrine)
    3. Most basic objects to include
    4. How to source and arrange objects
    5. Upkeep and tidiness

    We’ll explore each of these aspects in the sections that follow. We’ll also look at some examples of Buddhist home shrines, and I’ll share my family’s process of creating our own.

    1. What Is the Purpose of A Buddhist Home Shrine?

    This article will explain how to construct a basic Buddhist helgedom if you practice Buddhism but have not yet built one.

    Set the helgedom in a secure location. Some people utilize the entire room. Depending on the typical use of the space, it could be a table or a shelf, but it must be at least above head level.

    Create a shelf or stand to hold the items. A three-level wooden stand makes a straightforward beginning. You might want to man an effort with this since it will be the shrine&#;s main surface. (1).

    An actual reminder to practice your meditation technique and give yourself some alone time can be provided by an altar. Making a meditation space helps me focus my thoughts and inspires me to meditate every day.
