Best Answer

"Ideally, Buddhist altars should be set in the east; this is because the Buddha sat facing east beneath the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, when he espied the morning star and experienced great enlightenment. The east is where the sun rises, illuminating us all."

The best thing to do is to face the image of the Buddha towards the entrance of the house, so that the guests can easily respect or revere the Buddha as soon as they enter the house.

The Buddha should not face south, as this is associated with Yama. North is the preferred direction.
