Description

It's important for our daily meditation practice to have a shrine in our home. In this course, you'll learn how to set up a shrine and the practice of making daily offerings. In our bookstore you'll find everything you need to make your own home shrine.

It is very beneficial to our daily meditation practice to set up a home shrine with representations of Buddha's body, speech and mind. A shrine provides a focus for our faith and serves as a continual reminder of the Buddhas, through whose kindness we can attain permanent inner peace and the supreme happiness of enlightenment.

We make offerings for the positive effect on our own mind, not because the Buddhas need anything from us. We receive great benefits when we arrange beautiful offerings with a mind of faith in front of images of Buddhas, because the Buddhas are actually present and take delight in our offerings.

Everyone is welcome, no experience is necessary.
