The Presence of Faith: A Defined Location

A Southeast Asian residence with a clearly defined place of worship. A small Buddhist shrine or ancestral tablet is placed in a fixed position in the space: on a shelf above eye level or in a dedicated corner; in front of it are an incense burner, fresh flowers, and offerings. Clean space is left around it, not mixed with general decorations. This is the most respected point in the space. Avoid: treating Buddha statues and religious objects as general decorative items, placing them below waist level, mixing them with clutter on the same surface, displaying Buddha heads as sculptures.

一個有明確供奉位置的東南亞住宅。一個小的佛龕或祖先牌位設在空間裡的固定位置:高於視線的一道層板上或一個專門的角落;前方有香爐、鮮花與供品。它周圍留出乾淨的空間,不與一般的裝飾品混放。這是空間裡最被尊重的一個點。避免:把佛像與宗教物件當成一般裝飾擺件、放在低於腰部的位置、與雜物混放在同一個檯面、把佛頭當成雕塑陳列。
