It is appropriate to see how far the Buddha statue is enshrined from the gate

This generally does not have such strict rules, as long as the location is appropriate, it does not affect normal access and life. In fact, why do we want to make offerings to the Buddha, we must believe in it rightly, and we must not be superstitious, otherwise we will not only mislead the public, but also we will not be able to study it ourselves, and we will not get special benefits.

Take a look at the beginning of the following paragraph of the old Master of Clearing, I hope it will be helpful to you in your studies:

1 When we offer to the Buddha and the Buddha statue at home, we must understand the meaning of offering to the Buddha. What does it mean to make an offering to the Buddha? The Buddha is an enlightened person, and when we see the Buddha statue, it reminds me to be enlightened, to be enlightened all the time, to be enlightened everywhere, and to be enlightened in everything.

2 We offer images of the Buddha because we are respectful to the Buddha, and when we respect the Buddha, we immediately think: I have to be respectful to all living beings, to all living things.

3 When offering Buddha statues at home, and often seeing Buddha statues, is to remind yourself not to be confused, and not to be confused. The appearance of the Buddha is immeasurably good, often look at the Buddha statue, often think about the Buddha statue, their appearance will become better, and the Buddha statue in the home has this benefit.

4 Where are the Buddha statues to be offered? There is a Buddhist hall in the house, and it must be offered in the Buddhist hall; If there is no Buddha hall, the living room can also be dedicated to the Buddha. The Buddha statue should be offered above, which direction is above? Everybody walks into this house, you can see it, and that's from above.

5 If you really want to die, you can also offer Buddha statues in the bedroom, why? When it comes to mindfulness, it's not disrespectful. If you don't want to die, you can't offer Buddha statues in the bedroom, why? That's a big disrespect.

6 For those who really recite the Buddha, offering Buddha statues at home, in fact, it is best to offer an Amitabha Buddha, and Guanyin and Shizhi do not need to be offered. Fragrant flower offerings can be avoided, a good incense and a glass of water are enough. The offering is an expression of the Dharma, and when you see this incense, you have to think of cultivating the precepts; When you see this glass of water, you have to remind yourself:

My heart will be as pure and equal as water.

7 Why, even if a person who recites the Buddha honestly does not offer Buddha statues, burn incense, worship or do nothing at home, all the Buddhas bless him in his house? This is true belief in Buddhism. Believing in Buddhism is not in the form, but sincerely following the teachings, this is true belief in Buddhism, this is the great good, this is the greatest good!

8 The meaning of offering Buddha statues at home, we must know that offering Buddha statues is a reminder, and when you see Buddha statues, you must think of reciting Amitabha Buddha; With a rosary in your hand, the rosary is also a reminder, as soon as you see the rosary, you think of chanting Buddha - thinking that other things are the karma of creating the six realms of reincarnation, and thinking that Amitabha Buddha is the pure karma of creating the West of rebirth, this is too much to do].

Finally, I wish my senior brother a speedy success! Amitabha!

There are no hard and fast standards, and it's okay to look comfortable on your own.

Summary. Is it okay to open the door to see the Buddha statue?

From the point of view of respecting Orthodoxy, it is inappropriate. The word Buddha represents the Buddha and the World-Honored One, or the Heavenly Master. If you put it at the door, it's actually disrespectful, and it's not a door god.

The Buddha statue is facing the gate, can block all the unclean things, they dare not enter the door, the Buddha is supreme, is a two-legged respect, you have to worship the Buddha first after entering the door, and people come and go, open and close the door, not only the air flow is mixed, the gods and Buddhas are not respected. But it is very good to speak in feng shui. Guan Dijun, Erlang Zhenjun and other martial gods can face the gate, and their Gang Qi can also be used for town house.

Buddha statues are usually placed in a quiet room, preferably on the auspicious seat of the male resident.

Do you put the Buddha statue in front of the gate?

Hope it helps.

Of course!

Statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are also a convenient way to increase our faith in the home. However, if you put it at home, remember that 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 (stinky 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, all of which are okay.

By the way, let's talk about the direction and time of the placement. Buddha and Bodhisattva are great achievers, great compassion, boundless mana, if you need to enshrine and place, you don't need to choose the day, pick the hour, look at the feng shui, set the direction, "a Buddha breaks ten thousand evils", unrestricted. Therefore, there is no need to pay attention to the direction of the orientation, you think it is good to be solemn; The hour does not need to be chosen, respectfully, which moment is a good time, the so-called "sincerity is spiritual", this is what it means.

As for the popular sayings about the time and direction, they are all misunderstandings of Buddhism in the world, so we should not confuse faith with superstition and customs. It's just that there is a folk custom that makes the statue of Buddha and Bodhisattva face the doors and windows, which means "open the door to see blessings (Buddha and blessing homonym), which is acceptable."

We ordinary people have confidence in our own wood, so we need to have external things (such as statues, Buddhist beads, pendants, etc.) to enhance it; If you really have a Buddha in your heart, it doesn't matter if you have a statue or not, because you are a Buddha when you open your eyes and close your eyes, inside and outside your heart.

There is no problem if the idol does not have access to the bathroom.
