home altar

[Kokuu]

Hi all

Some (western) calligraphy I just finished for above my shrine. Please feel free to criticise, especially the execution of the enso. I am still very much a beginner when it comes to the calligraphic arts.

This is Otto-san's place now.
The ugly old crate is a traveling box for a microscope, as to see the truth of everything everywhere - but it's empty .
No, really, it would have been thrown away.
The little orchidea is going to flower again (provided I do not burn it with incence).

Suggestions?

Before, I only had a picture of water and some nice clouds, so this is really overwhelmingly much .

Gassho,
Danny

PS: yes, and the power sockets are there because a powersocketomaniac decorated every room with about twelf of them. Or to give me more power, whatever your flavour is.

These last two are just lovely !!
thankyou Joyo and kidBuddha sharing
gassho,

WIN_20150103_095234.jpgThank you for sharing, Kidbuda, I so enjoy seeing everyone's home altars. I want to share with everyone my new altar. My two friends (who were my witnesses for Jukai) gave me this Buddha statue last January. There is also a lotus candle holder (where I burn beeswax candles) a Buddha incense holder, and the urn is from my dog, Rudy. He died on July 23 this summer. His ashes/urn are a continuous reminder of all the things he taught me, including his final lesson, impermanence. Thank you everyone for sharing this practice with me, words cannot express how much it means to me.

Gassho,
Joyo

home altar

Here is mine, just moved to a new apartment and created this new version of my home altar with a little tibetan influence, sometimes I sit and hangout with some guys from the New Kadampa Tradition and Karma Kagyu, their centers are near my home.I really find their Golden Buddhas beautiful. Both Buddhas are painted and decorated by me, great meditation practice. Ganesha and the fighting monk are gifts from two of my martial arts students.

At one time, I had a fairly elaborate altar, but now it's a Kannon statue, a small bell, a candle and incense.

Simple and sweet Myoku ... very nice! =)
