Where To Place Buddha Altar?

[multi888 1]

Well, I thought that FS preceded Buddhism. And also Buddhists speak of attaining nirvana; heaven & **** is more of a borrowed concept from Hinduism.

By the way, regarding altar position, it should be which direction to face when praying and not which direction the altar (a symbol more than anything) should face.

Regarding the discussion on facing dining table, I found the thinking odd that it is ok as long as the meal is taken behind the Buddha's back?

Hi

Attached is my 5-rm floor plan. Am looking to build a small full height cabinet to place a Buddha statue.

Would prefer the altar to face the living room windows. But where is the ideal location?

I intend to place a glass partition slightly after the main door but I do not want to block the view thru' the

glass panel, hence I don't think I would want the altar to be placed against the glass partition facing the living

room window.

Am thinking if I can ask the contractor to build the cabinet along the wall between the dining and kitchen, but my

hubby is concerned about ashes etc if the incense is burning while we are having dinner.

I think you can also make a Cabinet just after you enter the house so your buddha face the door. Facing the main door is another options and it is also good as well.
