What should I do if it is inconvenient to enshrine the Buddha statue invited by a Thai master at home? Will domestic temples accept different Buddha statues?

Once the statues, statues or paintings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas become old, incomplete or broken, or we no longer want to worship them, or we cannot worship them due to moving, going abroad or other reasons, the methods to deal with them are as follows:

1. First of all, you can ask your friends or lay people around you if they need anything, and then give it to your friends. This is also a good deed to connect with the Buddha. Of course, some people don't know enough about it and are unwilling to accept Buddha statues that have been enshrined by others. Although this is a misunderstanding, there is no need to force it.

2. The best way is to send it to a nearby temple and ask the monks in the temple to handle it on your behalf;

3. Or ask the lay person at the Dharma Materials Circulation Department in the temple to transfer it to you for marriage. .

4. If there is no temple nearby, you can also send it to a nearby mountain. The higher the better, it is best to place it under a big tree or a stone wall, place it neatly, and have its own land and land of the mountain god. This is the meaning of the saying "Wherever there is a Buddha statue, there must be a guardian deity".

5. Of course, if you are reluctant to part with it or may need to use it in the future, you can also wrap it in red cloth and pack it in a box (do not turn it upside down), and store it in the living room, study, attic, etc. without placing it on the top. Press other things to maintain our reverence.
