Modern Kadampa Buddhism is a special, practical presentation of Buddha’s teachings that is particularly suited to the modern day. It was introduced into contemporary society by the world-renowned meditation master and scholar Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
Modern Kadampa Buddhism preserves the meaning and intention of Buddha’s original teachings while presenting them in a clear and systematic way that anyone of any nationality, age or gender can easily understand and put into practice.
Thanks for watching!
I’m a Theravada Buddhist. Our shrines are a bit different. But the real Buddha shrine…..is the one you build in your heart and mind. Namo Buddhaya. 🙏🏼 ☸️
This is now my go to video when I’m sad, this video beams happiness
Hopefully, you haven't had to come back to the video in a while!

Really nice video, i like how you show different sizes. Im "up grading" my at home shrine. Going with a large medicine buddha statue, a large medicine buddha singing bowl with scripture etch on it and a candle on the other side. The statue has a bowl in his left i burn incense or sage in it. But before all this, i had a buddha incense holder and a tea light candle:-)
You can't go wrong with Medicine Buddha! Well done!
Thank you so much!!🙏♥️💎💎📿🌺🌸🌷

This was such a pleasure to watch! Funny but so insightful, So glad I stumbled upon it. Thank you :)
Wow great video. Amazing shop wish I had a shop like that. But be careful mixing up the pure land Buddha Amitabha with Shakyamuni Buddha.
We will be extra careful! Thanks for watching!
Namo Buddhaya, 🙏🙏🙏
I loved this! I really want to meet you when COVID is over and I can get upstate. What a joyful person with a fun sense of humor!
How do I upload a video here?
You probably dont care but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Landry Alaric Instablaster :)
@Dominick Max thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Dominick Max It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Landry Alaric no problem =)
What a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing it. I live in brazil and I have difficulties in finding statues of buddhas and stupas. Can I buy them on the internet or is it important that they be purchased in a specific store, due to the origin of the items?
Hi Paulo! It's not always easy coming across qualified statues. I'm sure you can find something on the internet. Also, having a framed printed image works great, too! Good luck on creating your shrine!
@@KadampaMeditationCenterNewYork What do you mean by "qualified statues"?
@@zickiezickieprolly quality
What if you live in an area where you can't get blessed statues with mantra insertions will any statue do?
You can also use a printed image. Also, you might find smaller statues that are solid and made from resin. Really, any image works great.
How often do you change the water in the offering bowls? And if you offer food? How long do you leave it for?
You offer water in the morning and take it out by evening. For food also the same principle is followed.
You can offer some water and after that you can drink it , for food the same thing , its to share that the ideology of it
I loved this video blessings from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤❤❤ thank you for your smile and good will
Thank you for this video. Is it ok if instead of Buddha I have Kuan yin? She attained buddhahood so is that the same thing? Thank you much love xxx
Kuan Yin is a bodhisattva.
Much merit🙂
Its really great i am impressed. Can u guide us if we put some biscuts or some medicinal herbs as offering wat should we do of them... Should we consume or discard them... Sry am from india we generaly take the offerings as prashad so am bit confused
You can either give them to a friend or enjoy them yourself. As long as your not mentally claiming them while there on your shrine being offered.
Thank you for your light hearted and inclusive message. And also covering the “why” along the way. One question, now that I have my 8 foot golden Buddha statue, how do you suggest I get inside my studio apartment? Tee hee.
❤
Do you guys sell traditional style Tibetan sutras?
We don't. What benefits people the most is having commentaries in their own language in order to take Dharma into their heart.
I have some questions is there anyone who could help me please?
Tiny Buddha!
😍😍🤗🤗
🙏🌺♥️
You can put thangka on the wall if the house has no space.
Yes, Thangkas are perfectly acceptable.
Where would you put a picture of His Holiness the Dalai Lama?
A photo of your spiritual guide could be placed somewhere high or in front. You really can’t go wrong anywhere. So, whoever your personal spiritual guide is, just somewhere respectful. Hope this helps!
@@KadampaMeditationCenterNewYork 🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had to put my shrine in my bedroom due to pets. Is that ok to do?
That works for a lot of people. I think it’s still good!
Way are you in my world I am from Butane
is it true that the buddha have to face east?
If it’s possible, but if you’re space doesn’t allow it, you can just imagine that your shrine is facing East.
@@KadampaMeditationCenterNewYork okay, thank you so much for your response
Why are the buddhas behind glass?
It's mainly to protect them from dust and other elements. This way, they last for a very long time!
Are people allowed to just show up here to pray?
Yes! We have chanted prayers each day. The Temple is open Friday - Monday. You can check weekly hours here: kadampanewyork.org
Fromage! 😀
Lol doesn’t that mean cheese? We’ll take it as a compliment!
@@KadampaMeditationCenterNewYork it is a way to say "Hello and much love from France to Kadam Kyle". 🌞. Thank you for the video.
Please first of all you must filling mantra(In Head, Throat, Heart body and flower) in Buddha's statue after that can alter and offering.
Did you filling Buddha's status my question???
Yes! All of our statues have been filled properly.
@@KadampaMeditationCenterNewYorkGlad to hear that🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏
I’m happy I serve the living God YHWH and I don’t need any man-made sculptures nor idols nor to focus on things made through wood, silver, and gold. ♥️ I do not worship Creation, I worship 👉the Creator YHWH.
Hebrew - YAH / Yahweh / Jehovah (Latin)
Well good to know but it seems that you're in a wrong video sis.
@@TharsyanJaderuby There is no wrong place to ever share Gods True Word YHWH 💙 He uses his own children upon the earth directly in order to teach more by spreading the true Gospel (good Kingdom news) message to anyone who takes a listening ear.
@@urbanecobeauty Again good to know, and i respect what you believe but keep in mind that there are different faiths that believes in different things. And as for this matter this video is about image veneration of Buddhism, in which has no relationship to what you're saying here, let alone your concern of idol worship.
The so called "man made sculptures" enables us to focus on worship, meditation and make mental connection with the figure in reverence.
No offense tho.
Have a nice day 🕊️ God bless you.

@@TharsyanJaderuby I serve the living God. Therefore no mental focus of any kind is needed on man-made objects and idols that are seen through the eyes which can’t speak nor hear nor talk to you. Nor does the man-made object care four your well being. Instead one can look and focus on the living things God created for us all and in real healing. We see Gods glory in all his creations which live. Now to focus on anything that is man-made is for those who do not know nor understand who the true Creator God is and how powerful he is when we go to him directly, instead of all these other man-made ways and world wide created ‘traditions’. Which in world run religions and the same too with the Roman Catholic Church (false man made religions of the world) their followers make idols and pray through things like beads and sculptures, saying that’s how they connect with God. One may ask where are they coming up with this? Because the God of the Bible YHWH who is living and has his “word” written for all to learn from (in every language on earth), says do not do such things as these world religions teach, because it’s partaking in serving through man-made objects which causes one to idolize the object, by focusing their mind and attention to something that once again, does not hear 👂 nor 🗣️ speak to you. Just like the golden calf, people try again and again to create their own idols, and where does it get them? Absolutely no where but to keep searching… and the true God watches this from above shaking his head, because he already warned his people of this very thing long ago. It is written for those who have ears to hear and obey God Almighty instead of going their own ways.
@@urbanecobeauty Dear sister, i don't wish to be rude or disrespect your faith, but you are now sounding like a typical fanatic.
Since you follow the Abrahamic ideology, it's quite hard for you or people with similar mindset as yours to understand the significance and uniqueness of image worship and it's purpose particularly eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism.
If God is indeed omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, and what not, I'm sure God is capable enough to manifest himself in the idols and allows himself to be approached through his devotees.
But what to do, you never done any form-worship, veneration of idols, never meditated before a deity, never done deity consecration, no genuine experience and perceptions. So how would you know?
Again, not everyone follows your faith sister. Different religions has its own ideas on God or Truth or Ultimate Reality, through different ways, beliefs, practices, traditions and philosophies.
Have a nice day 🕊️
Repent! Change your ways! Read the Gospels and turn to Jesus Christ. There is only one path to salvation and that is through him! Your idol worship will only further doom you!
Can you not preach to people who aren't even here to listen to people like you? This is just a tutorial for making a shrine, chill.
No thanks.
