My Altar
Attached are some pictures of my altar, which has grown to encompass a medium sized coffee table a small bamboo end table and some floor space as well as storage bin full of incense and candles in my closet. The first few pictures are before I moved the altar into my bedroom. I made the garland out of some twine and rododendron flowers, the candle I carved the chinese character for spring into and then filled it with yellow paint, since I only lit it for Saga Dawa Duchen (May 27th, 2010) I still have the candle for next year. The green headress is made out of rododendron leaves that I clipped from the flowers. The last few pictures are from after I moved the altar to my bedroom. The Buddha statue is now adorned with purple beads from a local event I attended a couple years ago, and a pictures of the Dalai Lama and Lama Thubten Zopa Rinpoche. At the foot of the table are offerings. To the side of the table is a smaller bamboo table where I store texts such as mantras and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

And now:
I was totally unaware that they had special Target stores for spiritual seekers!
It's nice that you can make changes to your altar as desired. I grew up in a church where one of the main points of contention was over who had the right to alter the altar.
It's always nice to see other people's shrines.

Sounds like it was quite the altercation!
