home altar

[kazashimo]

I've been enjoying looking at everyone else's altars and thought Id share mine
A close up followed by its context within the room.
I have two altars, one I sit in front and either chant, recite liturgy or just read Budddhist texts/books in front of. This is harking back to my 'Tibetan' and Vajrayana days'.
The more basic altar and the more 'Zen' like, is where I do Zazen, I call this room the Zendo, my wife always corrects me and states "it's the spare room where I happen to meditate."

My wife very kindly bought me this statue for an early Fathers Day present along with the incense. I have added a stone my son gave me when he was a toddler, some sand my daughter got me from the Isle of Wight and a small bowl of water.

I enjoyed looking at all the photos on this thread so much that I wanted to share mine too!~
Since I live in a dorm, fire and candles are not allowed

so instead, I got a rock salt lamp for my altar
but then they confiscated it, saying that that too was a fire hazard...so I had to take the lamp part out
so now it's just nothing more than a large rock...a large rock that sometimes "leaks" and forms puddles on my desk on particularly humid days

now the Buddha statue itself I think may actually be an Amida Buddha rather than a Shakyamuni Buddha, just based on the hands, but it's whatever I guess

He sits on a simple cardboard box that I filled with folded handwritten copies of various short texts and verses, such as the Heart Sutra and what not.

and next to him is just a simple white orchid flower.

And that's about it for my simple desk altar I guess~

Looks like it is still burning bright to me!

PS - I had to look up what is "pendralogy" ... which I then realized is "dendrology" which is "the scientific study of trees." Good luck on your final!

Goat-sprouts, lovely altar. I like your rupa. I have a white china rupa too and I'm a big fan of orchids. They are so beautiful. I have electric candles, which are quite nice and you can turn them different colours. You can get them on Amazon.

Good luck for your finals!
