I’m a Theravada Buddhist. Our shrines are a bit different. But the real Buddha shrine…..is the one you build in your heart and mind. Namo Buddhaya. 🙏🏼 ☸️
Be carefull with the seven water offerings there's is many does and don't........ If we do correctly we will accumulate merits but if we don't we may over come bea omen
Really nice video, i like how you show different sizes. Im "up grading" my at home shrine. Going with a large medicine buddha statue, a large medicine buddha singing bowl with scripture etch on it and a candle on the other side. The statue has a bowl in his left i burn incense or sage in it. But before all this, i had a buddha incense holder and a tea light candle:-)
I loved this! I really want to meet you when COVID is over and I can get upstate. What a joyful person with a fun sense of humor! How do I upload a video here?
You probably dont care but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Dominick Max thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
What a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing it. I live in brazil and I have difficulties in finding statues of buddhas and stupas. Can I buy them on the internet or is it important that they be purchased in a specific store, due to the origin of the items?
Hi Paulo! It's not always easy coming across qualified statues. I'm sure you can find something on the internet. Also, having a framed printed image works great, too! Good luck on creating your shrine!
A photo of your spiritual guide could be placed somewhere high or in front. You really can’t go wrong anywhere. So, whoever your personal spiritual guide is, just somewhere respectful. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your light hearted and inclusive message. And also covering the “why” along the way. One question, now that I have my 8 foot golden Buddha statue, how do you suggest I get inside my studio apartment? Tee hee.
Its really great i am impressed. Can u guide us if we put some biscuts or some medicinal herbs as offering wat should we do of them... Should we consume or discard them... Sry am from india we generaly take the offerings as prashad so am bit confused
Please first of all you must filling mantra(In Head, Throat, Heart body and flower) in Buddha's statue after that can alter and offering. Did you filling Buddha's status my question???
I’m happy I serve the living God YHWH and I don’t need any man-made sculptures nor idols nor to focus on things made through wood, silver, and gold. ♥️ I do not worship Creation, I worship 👉the Creator YHWH. Hebrew - YAH / Yahweh / Jehovah (Latin)
@@TharsyanJaderuby There is no wrong place to ever share Gods True Word YHWH 💙 He uses his own children upon the earth directly in order to teach more by spreading the true Gospel (good Kingdom news) message to anyone who takes a listening ear.
@@urbanecobeauty Again good to know, and i respect what you believe but keep in mind that there are different faiths that believes in different things. And as for this matter this video is about image veneration of Buddhism, in which has no relationship to what you're saying here, let alone your concern of idol worship. The so called "man made sculptures" enables us to focus on worship, meditation and make mental connection with the figure in reverence. No offense tho. Have a nice day 🕊️ God bless you. Namo Narayana 🪷 Hare Krishna 🕊️ Om Mani Padme Hum ☸️
@@TharsyanJaderuby I serve the living God. Therefore no mental focus of any kind is needed on man-made objects and idols that are seen through the eyes which can’t speak nor hear nor talk to you. Nor does the man-made object care four your well being. Instead one can look and focus on the living things God created for us all and in real healing. We see Gods glory in all his creations which live. Now to focus on anything that is man-made is for those who do not know nor understand who the true Creator God is and how powerful he is when we go to him directly, instead of all these other man-made ways and world wide created ‘traditions’. Which in world run religions and the same too with the Roman Catholic Church (false man made religions of the world) their followers make idols and pray through things like beads and sculptures, saying that’s how they connect with God. One may ask where are they coming up with this? Because the God of the Bible YHWH who is living and has his “word” written for all to learn from (in every language on earth), says do not do such things as these world religions teach, because it’s partaking in serving through man-made objects which causes one to idolize the object, by focusing their mind and attention to something that once again, does not hear 👂 nor 🗣️ speak to you. Just like the golden calf, people try again and again to create their own idols, and where does it get them? Absolutely no where but to keep searching… and the true God watches this from above shaking his head, because he already warned his people of this very thing long ago. It is written for those who have ears to hear and obey God Almighty instead of going their own ways.
@@urbanecobeauty Dear sister, i don't wish to be rude or disrespect your faith, but you are now sounding like a typical fanatic. Since you follow the Abrahamic ideology, it's quite hard for you or people with similar mindset as yours to understand the significance and uniqueness of image worship and it's purpose particularly eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. If God is indeed omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, and what not, I'm sure God is capable enough to manifest himself in the idols and allows himself to be approached through his devotees. But what to do, you never done any form-worship, veneration of idols, never meditated before a deity, never done deity consecration, no genuine experience and perceptions. So how would you know? Again, not everyone follows your faith sister. Different religions has its own ideas on God or Truth or Ultimate Reality, through different ways, beliefs, practices, traditions and philosophies. Have a nice day 🕊️
Repent! Change your ways! Read the Gospels and turn to Jesus Christ. There is only one path to salvation and that is through him! Your idol worship will only further doom you!
