How do I set up a Tibetan altar?
1 Answer
To set up a Tibetan altar, hang a painting depicting Shakyamuni Buddha on the wall above the altar or place a Shakyamuni Buddha statue on the center of the altar. You can add depictions of other Buddhas or Bodhisattvas if you wish. Place a replica of the Stupa of Enlightenment one level below these artworks. You'll find a selection of altar tables on 1stDibs.
