A Buddha statue is good for your home even if you are not a practitioner of Buddhism. Just as pictures and statues of Jesus are freely available to non-Christians, images of Buddha can be welcomed anywhere.Buddha means "enlightened one". Many people have been worthy of that title. People usually think of the sitting figure of Gautama. He was a philosopher who taught that a life path of moderation and helping others relieves suffering and creates peace. Another Buddha is Guanyin, a female or androgynous figure. One of her many stories says that she was a nun who decided not to enter heaven until all beings were free from pain and fear. The "Laughing Buddha" is Budai, a 10th-century Chinese monk who exemplified happiness with very few possessions.The Chinese philosophy of feng shui is also open to all and not a religion. It is the practice of designing indoor and outdoor spaces so that thoughts and emotions are encouraged in healthy, positive directions. Even if your home or office faces in a so-called "unlucky" direction, the rest of the area can be improved. Installing a Buddha statue in the right place can create serene space, reminding residents and visitors to be calm and to think and act with kindness.Take into account the statue's material, size and color to see where it will fit in best. These things are all accounted for in feng shui. Metal has a different effect from ceramic or wood. A Buddha statue should usually face the front door even if not in a place where it is seen when you first enter. It should never be on the floor but set at or above eye level, on a piece of red cloth or paper. The area should be clean, neat and tranquil. A few plants or an indoor fountain can be nearby. The best places might be a bedroom, study or office area, as long as it is free from clutter. Buddha statues can also be placed on a patio or in a garden, as long as they are up off the ground. A tiny Buddha statue can be put on a car dashboard. Be sure it faces outward, not toward you.
