    It is not necessary to cover the Buddha with a red cloth, there is no such specific requirement.

    Guanyin Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Medicine Buddha.

    Wait. It's good to like yourself, there is no unified rule for this, but it is not appropriate to furnish too much, generally we are at home, and three Buddha statues can be offered at home.

    2 Buddha statue material: It can be a paper statue, or a ceramic, or copper, gold, silver, any material can be, this is not particular, according to their own economic ability. The ceramic Avalokiteshvara I offered.

    It was a leak in the flower market of the Spring Festival that year.

    I bought it, and it has been for nearly 20 years, which is quite effective.

    3 Location of Buddha statues: If the conditions are good and the home is spacious, you can choose a small room, which is dedicated to the Buddha hall, which is equipped with Buddha statues and worship mats to facilitate practice. If there is no extra room, you can put it in the living room or in the respectful position of the garden at home, some people are working and renting, there is no living room or special room for the Buddha statue, you can also put it in the bedroom respectful position, and you can use a red cloth to cover the Buddha statue when it is inconvenient.

    4 Offerings in front of the Buddha: These are based on one's own conditions, and it is not necessary to make offerings. If conditions permit, flowers, fruits, vegetarian snacks can be offered, and some treasures can also be offered if the conditions are quite good.

    We make offerings to the Buddha to show respect for the Buddha on the one hand, and on the other hand, we offer treasures to the Buddha to show that we are willing to give up our wealth in order to cut off our selfishness.

    5 Water supply: Offering a glass of water to the Buddha every day is something that everyone can do. It is best to boil the water, the next day this glass of water can be drunk. The water supply also reminds us to be pure in heart and to treat all living beings equally.

    6. Incense: Because the family space is relatively closed, environmental pollution should be considered when incense, so the material and quantity of incense should be considered when incense. We generally recommend that you put on a stick of incense in the morning and evening.

    When applying incense, you should also pay attention to fire safety. Shangxiang has five meanings, which are expressed: abstinence incense, fixed incense, wisdom incense, liberation incense and liberation knowledge incense.

    8 Uses: We can usually chant Buddha, chant sutras, worship Buddha, meditate, etc. in front of the Buddha statue, according to my experience, it is easier to practice in front of the Buddha statue.

    There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

    Why is the worship of the Buddha covered with a red cloth? It's easy! It is the "Buddha statue" in Buddhism.

    In modern times, there is a Buddha who uses a red cloth and makes a hole in his forehead, and the incense collected enters the Buddha's private space by himself and becomes an offering for private believers. Because the Buddha statue is not just as simple as holding it in the hand, it needs to be used in a suitable meditation room and incense and candlesticks in the Buddha hall, and it must be placed in the Buddha hall, and on the high roof, there are Buddha statues full of incense to worship. With the rise of Buddhism, more and more temples were built, and many temples had hundreds of large and small.

    For example, in the Sangha Sutra, some great monks are praised as "the Buddha is the one who makes the statue, the world of the Buddha, and the realm of color" Why do those who arrange statues for Buddha statues under the nose of the Buddha directly worship them with red cloth? Why don't you ask the Buddha to look up in your heart, like the Buddha? Such a popular Buddha must be omnipotent!

    Why does the Buddha want to be worshipped as a Buddha statue, it is better to worship the real Buddha! If you worship a fake Buddha, you are tantamount to ignorance! Of course, some people are not convinced!

    The Buddha obviously can't see, why does he worship? The Buddha is not in the world, but people like to worship the Buddha statue as the Buddha! And like the Buddha, everyone will take it to heart!

    In this regard, my opinion is that you treat the Buddha and the gods as rare, and the Buddha can clearly see it, why doesn't he invite the audience to his side, and the quiet Buddha goes around to worship others.

    The Buddha is not a god, and he can't write casually, so he has no price. Buddha, not only does the Buddha nature have understanding, and the Buddha's realm has wisdom roots, but you also have to report you from generation to generation, and you really have to take the initiative.

    When offering incense or offerings, the red cloth needs to be uncovered; It can be covered on a regular basis. This practice is similar to Tantra, and the Buddhist shrines are all doored, and the truth is "Tantra". Specifically, you can find some relevant knowledge points on the Internet, and I won't explain them one by one here.

    However, most of the people in China are now sutras, but some of them have borrowed from tantra in practice. There are many similar examples, if the Buddha statue is enshrined in the couple's bedroom because of the limited family conditions, it needs to be covered with a clean cloth when the sutra is not chanted or worshipped, and if the Buddha statue is enshrined in the living room, it does not need to be covered.

    Because when we make offerings to the Buddha, we don't treat Him as a god, but as a teacher. The Buddha statue should be placed in a high and clean place, not in an unrespectful and impure place such as a bedroom, hallway, kitchen, balcony, etc. However, due to personal limitations, the Buddha statue can only be placed in the above places, so we must cover it with a red cloth or yellow cloth after the incense, as a sign of respect!

    In fact, there are four things to offer to Buddha statues in Buddhist scriptures: clothing, food, bedding, and medicine. Dressing a Buddha statue is one of the four offerings, which represents the respect of the Buddha statue.

    The reason why red is worn is because red is a festive color recognized by the Chinese, and second, the monk's robe is red, so it will be covered with red cloth.

    According to a certain theory, the invited Buddhas and Bodhisattvas should be covered with a red cloth, and then a so-called "consecration" will be performed, and then they will go to the offering hall or offering table to burn incense and worship! But this statement is not scientific, it is just a passing scene!

    Generally speaking, if the statue of the Buddha is placed at home, in order to maintain respect and respect for the Buddha and Bodhisattva, there are three places that are not allowed, one is the bedroom (there is love between men and women), the kitchen (there is oil smoke and dirt), and the toilet (smelly and filthy), so the best place is the living room and study, and there are also people who put it in the entrance and other places, which are all okay.

    However, if the conditions are not sufficient, for example, the living room and bedroom of the rental house are all in the same room and have to be placed in the bedroom, then for the sake of convenience, cover it with a red or yellow cloth, and then open it when worshipping, which is also a convenient method.

    Red cloth means to isolate, to block.

    After the FO table is supplied, don't cover it.
