Making an altar

 

This small, simple altar is in the living room. It is where I go to start the day with lighting incense and doing 3 prostrations. The fresh cut plant is to the left and is taken from what is available where you are. It helps us remember nothing extra is needed. As we start the practice period we will practice with the altar. Please make an altar for yourself.
