Altar: The altar can consist of several groups of objects. Formally, the altar consists of three objects representing the body, speech, and mind of the Buddha. A statue of a Buddha or Bodhisattva placed in the center. A sacred text representing the speech of the Buddha; this is wrapped in maroon or yellow cloth and placed on the left side. On the right side of the altar, a stupa represents the mind of the Buddha. Pictures may be used as substitutes for all of these objects.
