Original Question

How do I create a Buddhist meditation room?

Q. I want to know the items to have in my room as well as what I should pain the walls, Buddhist ritual items, and Buddhist symbols. Thank you!

A. Good evening Andrew G.

Setting up a meditation room depends somewhat upon the tradition of Buddhism. Tibetan shrines tend to be more complicated than Zen (Ch'an). An image of the Buddha is the main focal point in either case. Zen altars contain four additional elements: a candle on the right hand side (representing the illumination of wisdom), fresh cut flowers on the left had side (signifying impermanence), a bowl of rice or sand for incense in front of the altar (purity), and a half full bowl of water between the incense cup and Buddha (see http://www.dharma.net/monstore/article.php?article=creatingaltar&articleid=13&catPath=21_22 ).

Tibetan Buddhist altars are more complicated. Besides the statue of the Buddha is a scripture (for example the Heart Sutra) to the right of the Buddha's image representing the Buddha's speech and a stupa representing the Buddha's mind. From this point onwards it gets more involved but these are the essentials in a Tibetan altar. It is generally advised to start simple in one's altar since too many deities and objects can be confusing (see http://www.snowlionpub.com/pages/altar.html ). When I was setting up my shrine, I contacted a monastery as to the placement of some statues. The final words of the monk were that it's the intention that is most important.

If the altar is going in your bedroom it is best to put the altar closer to the head of the bed since it is considered disrespectful to have the Buddha toward the feet. This is according to Tibetan teachings so I'm not sure if the same applies to Zen traditions.

In either case, keep the shrine clean and dusted but the color of the room is whatever you find to be inductive to peace and contemplation.

I hope this helps.

May all be at peace.

John

A. The red color sound great. Red is a tricky color to paint with but there is a secret. Primer your walls first and.....here is the secret.....have the paint guy tint your primer the same color as the top coat color. Red paint doesn't take any longer to dry than blue paint or yellow paint does. Paint is paint when it comes to drying time unless your are comparing latex paint to oil-based paints.
