拜关公 — worshiping guan gong the god of war, wealth, and loyalty.

(edit: talked a little about this here)

#vegaspete #kinnporsche #my posts #there was a theory widely circulated back when ep 7 aired that pete was praying to vegas' mum's altar #for all we know. it could be. can't tell for nuts what the tablets say in the cap #but back then i did manage to identify the centre altar's idol being guan gong (if you zoom in closely enough) #but i didnt really see anyone else talking about it / have anybody to confirm my guess so. #only until ytd i saw a timed comment in a vp fmv mentioning 拜关公 #from a quick search. cnet seems to acknowledge both theories #so!!!! #anyways. it's just for my own record #as much as it's sweet that pete would be paying respects to vegas' mama #i'm definitely a lot more inclined to the idea of pete worshiping guan gong in mind right here #the symbolismmmm #guan gong being the representation of righteousness and loyalty. #and a witness for pledges of loyalty between individuals or to organisations #there are many types of it but. that's the gist #(i'll refrain from saying more bc it's not like i know enough of guangong worship beyond what i casually experience around me hah.) #also bc this space seemed like it's a shared working compound/corridor in the minor family manor #it's just 10/10 the right vibe to find a guan gong altar in a triad/mafia's compound #i want to believe that the minor family wld at least honour a dead family member somewhere better at least haha idk #vp crack idea: they get married at the altar of guan gong like how people do sworn brothers rituals

How Should Lay Buddhists Set Up An Altar At Home?

•This is the frequently asked question, that also implies another question: Can it be essential for lay Buddhists to create an altar in your house? In that case, how whenever they get it done? The solution really is dependent upon the person situation. If the dwelling is small, or you live in a dormitory, share a room or even a house with co-workers or classmates, it wouldn't be convenient to build an altar. In these cases, in case you worship regularly at a fixed time, you might convey a sutra in places you would normally convey a Buddha statue. Bills ., there is no need of burning incense or candles, or offer water or flowers. Before worshipping, it will be appropriate to bow with joined palms, and prostrate to demonstrate respect and sincerity. If your roommates or housemates may also be Buddhists, it could definitely be fine to set up a standard altar or even a worship room. If you are the sole Buddhist, don't be so particular about insist on establishing an altar; as it might court others’ resentment and dismay. •Should you be the only real Buddhist in the household, it’s also important to follow similar guidelines that you live in a dormitory; otherwise, it may create discord in the household. Don’t let your Buddhist practice lead to ill feelings and resentment toward Buddhism inside family. If the entire family believes in Buddhism, otherwise you are head in the household, or both spouses practice, then there is space, it could be the top to put together an altar or possibly a worship room. When setting up an altar within the family room, pick the side with the room the location where the main furniture would normally be. There should be no window behind the statue, and also the statue should face a door or window, so there could be plenty sunlight, as well as altar is clearly in sight when individuals enter the door. •The altar could be the heart of a home; it should come up with a feeling of stability and security. As for the locations and directions suggested by geomancers, they can be utilized as reference for consideration; only one should not be superstitious and feel constrained by them. It would be fine providing the Buddha statue does not directly face the bathroom, the stove, or possibly a bed. If you set up a worship room, select a quiet quarter where kids or pets don’t roam out and in easily. The area should not be a area for receiving guests, chatting or entertaining; it should be used just for worshipping, chanting, and Chan practice, not for anything else. However, if there are already non-Buddhist pictures, plaques, and statues used for worshipping, like Guangong, Matzu, earth gods and ancestors, we have to not do away with them without delay, because we currently practice Buddhism. They will be removed step-by-step, gradually.

•The first task would be to squeeze Buddha statue in the heart of the altar, in the middle of statues of the non-Buddhist deities, and ancestors’ memorial plaques. There's no need to create an incense burner and candle holders. The explanation for this arrangement is simply because all benevolent deities and ancestors will protect, support, and stay attracted to the Three Jewels. Following the altar is set up, glowing become disciples in the Three Jewels and utilize the Dharma. When you move the altar or worship room, you could possibly then remove those non-Buddhist deity statues and store them as keepsakes. As for the ancestors’ plaques, they don’t should be placed or worshiped at home; they could be transferred to the hall of rebirth in a temple or monastery. If one insists on continuing to worship them in your house, they may be either positioned on the particular level below the Buddha’s statue. Or, they are often gone after another location onto a reduced altar and become worshiped separately. •In larger temples, for instance, there are halls of rebirth specially for putting ancestors’ plaques. Smaller temples usually allow ancestors’ plaques and longevity plaques being placed along the side walls with the main hall. Like this, it not simply expresses our prudent filial piety and reverence to the ancestors, and also shows our sublime faith towards the Buddha. So, it distinguishes our sublime faith for the Buddha through the filial piety to ancestors. •In the home there’s no requirement for multiple statues from the Buddha and bodhisattvas, as that could help to increase clutter. One statue from the Buddha can represent all buddhas, and something bodhisattva statue can represent all bodhisattvas. Besides statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, most families pick one from among Guanyin Pusa (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva), Amitabha Buddha, as well as Medicine Buddha. •If you have both Buddha and bodhisattva statues, then your Buddha statue needs to be put into the middle or on a advanced at the back of the altar, as the bodhisattva statues are positioned around the sides or at lower positions in front. Put simply, the Buddha statue should jump out to exhibit his revered prominence. How big the statue must be compared to the scale in the altar as well as worship room, not too big or too small. If the statue is small but made out of one of many seven precious treasures (gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, agate, ruby, carnelian), then the specially carved, multi-leveled shrine enable you to tripped the statue’s unique grandeur. •After acquiring a new Buddha or bodhisattva image or statue, many individuals would hold an initiation (“opening light”) ceremony to consecrate it. However, from your Buddhist point of view, such a ceremony is not necessary. Buddha and bodhisattva images and statues are tools for practice. We rely on them as objects for reverence. Although the buddhas and bodhisattvas are omnipresent, without statues and images, we won’t have a very focus to obtain our prostrations, offerings, and respect. It is through such reverential practices that people receive important things about cultivation and responses in the buddhas as well as bodhisattvas. Though the most important thing is our faith, sincerity, along with a a feeling of respect, not the statues or images themselves. Therefore, an initiation ceremony for that images and statues is certainly not important. •When Shakyamuni Buddha was still being living, he went along to the Heaven in the Thirty-three Devas for several months to present sermons to his mother. His disciples missed him, in order that they sculpted his image for worship; yet, there was no account of the initiation ceremonies. In subsequent generations, sutras, images, Buddhist articles, pagodas as well as temples, became representations of Buddha’s presence with his fantastic continuing transformation worldwide. Nevertheless, solemn ceremonies often generate deep respect and faith in people. Gradually, many kinds of rituals related to worship and offerings launched; the initiation ceremony was one too. Therefore, even today, every time a temple installs a new Buddha statue, followers gather together with an initiation ceremony. Similar to a new firm opening for business, or a ribbon-cutting ceremony for any new building, a ceremony can be a strategy to produce a solemn announcement towards the public. •However, when folks create Buddha and bodhisattva statues in your own home, you don't have for an announcement, hence, you should not hold an initiation ceremony. Providing you set up the statues with sincerity and respect, to make daily offerings of incense, flowers, and fruits, keeping the offerings and the altar fresh, clean, and tidy, you will have sacred and holy atmosphere to induce the dedication of practitioners. To help keep the indoor air clean and fresh, the incense burned in your own home needs to be of refined grade with delicate, light fragrance. When burning incense in the home, it’s best to burn just one stick at the same time. Usually do not pollute air inside your home with an excessive amount of incense. Natural sandalwood and agarwood incense are of high quality; it is not helpful to use synthetic chemical or animal-based incense sticks. •In the worship room of the modern home, candles could be replaced by bulbs. It's important to clean the offering table, incense burner, candle holder often, and keep them free of dust, and free from withering flowers and rotting fruits. Each day we have to set a particular time and energy to conduct the practice, a minimum of burning incense and offering water every morning and evening. Prior to going after being home, we ought to prostrate to Buddha to state our gratitude, respect, and remembrance. To learn more about Ban Tho Treo Tuong Chung Cu have a look at this popular site.
