home altar

Actually, it's just screws at the top but I am going to replace it with wooden pegs soon. Or keep it as is. I haven't decided. Cx

I pegged the shelf in place, and so far, I'm pretty happy with it. I'll post another picture when I have all my stuff. Thank you for the kind words, Lisa. C:

Wow, that's really nice, Javier! Did you peg the top together, or are those plugs covering screws? I love the simplicity of it, and the wood grain on the doors.

Gassho,

My weekend project. This isn't my official butsudan and that's my home Buddha for here. My other stuff is in my roommate's house. There are pegs on the door for hanging juzu that I make. It's really a work in progress so far but I'm happy with it.

All are breath taking altars

Of course, Zen is not about furniture or Asian flavor. Even though most Buddhist temples tend to have nice ... unbelievably expensive ... furniture.



On the other hand, it can be about Asian furniture (I have lots in my house, because I live in an old Japanese house).

Putting the Buddha on a delicate Chinese table ... a cheap formica table ... putting Buddha on an old cardboard box ... just the old cardbox box alone ... just emptiness ... all the same really, if the heart is clear.

Really beautiful table Catfish. Actually just a really nice sitting area. Much nicer than my 70's shag.

Hi, Koshin!

I really love your altar. It's a poem for me, my friend. Very, very beautiful.

This is my little altar at home...but it is a work in progress, as many as the things I still have to finish :wink:

As my Buddha I chose three stones from my favorite place in town ... they remind me of the three refuges, and the balance with always possibility of falling (which sometimes happens ops: ), the impermanence of things and that everything in this universe actually is sacred.

That is a very good way of looking at it, William!

Very cool, Andy. And if Buddha Nature pervades the entire universe, it's also in the unpacked box.
