        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.

          Please take my words with a big grain of salt. I know nothing. Wisdom is only found in our whole-hearted practice together.

                      Hi Kokuu;
                      Please do not be so harsh on yourself. This is beautiful, the quintessensal perfection I trust I have your permission to show it to my meditation class.
                      gassho,

                            Here's my altar:
                            IMG_0404.jpg
                            The Buddha statue is very meaningful to me. It was a gift from my Mom who, when I started practicing Buddhism, was very unhappy & accused me of idolatry. Later, when she found & read my copy of the Dhammapada, she found that she agreed with so much of it & was happy that I had found a path.

                            IMG_0401.jpg
                            The daruma was needle-felted by my wife last night. She had a bad day at work & worked out her frustration in 2 hours of solid wool-stabbing!

                              Sorry for bumping this thread but I thought I'd share something I made today. I got this Swisher Sweets box from the corner store (don't worry, I didn't smoke all of them ) and decided to cover it with some fabric that my friend had gotten me maybe... 10 years ago? I had always saved it to use it for the "right" thing and I felt inspired to use it for a portable altar.

                              The last picture is what I have for my altar now: painted sage pins that my friend made for earth, an octopus pin for water, and incense for fire/air. I'd like to eventually get a small Buddha statue that'll fit in the box, but for now, I'm pretty happy with grabbing things from around the house. If I get a statue, I'd put it on top of the closed box and array the other stuff around the box. Everything, including the incense holder, fits in there now.

                                The whole universe ... the whole boundless universe made of fire air water earth and anything more ... fits easily in this box.
