7 vastu recommended places to keep a Buddha statue at home

Your peaceful abode should represent what you believe. A Buddha is a sheer representation of tranquillity and calmness. Vastu experts have suggested placing the Buddha in your home to maintain a positive and harmonious vibe. We all witness versatile Buddha statues placed elegantly at beautiful houses. According to Vastu, placing the Buddha at different places in your home can impact your mental health and peace. This is because stability and a healthy state of mind are directly linked to our living site.

However, to make sure you place the right kind at the right place, you should pay attention to the tiny details mentioned here.

2/8

The entrance door

Whenever we visit someplace, we stop at the entrance. Placing a Buddha statue that portrays a blessing image at the door of your house will keep all the opposing forces outside. The meaning of the protection mudra, while one hand is to give blessings and the other is to protect the surroundings. However, remember to keep the Buddha above three-four feet from the ground, never place the Buddha on the floor.

3/8

The living room

According to Vastu, placing a reclining Buddha towards the right, facing the west can bring peace and harmony to your home. Place it on a clean table or shelf to symbolize your inner beliefs and state of mind. People will automatically witness the serene statue, feel at ease, and consider you a peaceful person.

4/8

In the garden

If you love the feeling of walking in your garden on a peaceful evening, adding a Buddha is the right choice for you. First, find a meditating Buddha and place it in a clean corner of your garden, as per Vastu. After doing so, you will feel more comfortable and relaxed while you take a walk in your beautiful garden. You can also add scented candles or sticks to seek better inner peace while meditating.

5/8

Pooja or Meditation Room

Many Buddhist people place the meditating Buddha artifact in the room they pray. It gives out positive and relaxing energy to help them concentrate better. You can put it in the corner facing East, as it represents eternal knowledge and enlightenment. This will help you attain peace of mind and maintain the aura. You can also place the praying and devoted Buddha in your pooja room. However, remember to put it at eye level; it is considered inauspicious to place the enlightened Guru under the eye level.

6/8

In kids room or study

Different Buddha poses and gestures offer different meanings. To achieve academic success, put a small head of Buddha or reclining Buddha at the corner of the table facing east.

7/8

Over the dining table or wall near the main entrance

This is the best place to hang a hand-painted picture of Buddha. Hanging a painting will give a sophisticated look and will create an aura of tranquillity in your house. You can easily choose a painting of your desire to be hung in your living room or over the dining table on the internet. But, according to Vastu, remember that Buddha's painting should always face inside the house.

8/8

On the bookshelf or glass shelf

First, laughing Buddha isn't the same as Gautam Buddha. However, he also symbolizes peace and happiness and is a good artifact for minimalistic people. So please place it in the east direction in the bookshelf to prosper laughs and smiles in your house.
