Thai Buddha

[lainiej]

I got a granite Thai buddha statue for Valentines day and I'd like to know where is the best place in the garden to put it. Feng shui-wise. Many thanks

The statue should be positioned to pick up some afternoon sun, this will allow it to settle in its new home.
In this location the good luck stars will also be overhead and it should be quite easy to pick up the dragon signs.
Good luck and good vibrations!

Soren.

Thank you Soren. Elaine

You must rub his belly for good fortune,its tradition.

Place it wherever you please. Feng Shui is utter bunkum and it won't make a blind bit of difference.

Unless, I suppose, you put it somewhere where you're going to stub your toe on it. Fung Shui = common sense + mumbo jumbo..?

[Octavius]

A view shared by many Christian clergy men in the 19th & 20th C Waldo.

If you are deeply serious about the idea of Feng Shui, then you ought to know that no positional dallying achieves perfection unless you have used a Chinese compass. You can�t just plonk it anywhere in any direction at any height � that aint feng shui.

A qualified practitioner would tell you exactly where to put it. Another qualified practitioner would say exactly the opposite. How would you know?

Whadya mean, 'Feng shui-wise'? Feng shui is NOT wise. Another example of a wrong question not having a right answer. See Daily Record

Feng shui means 'wind and water'. Perhaps you could keep your garden free of windbreaks, awnings, etc.

Oh for gods sake..if you havent got something relevant to say then shut up and butt out !!

[mallam]

lainiej, Im afraid something Octavius said is highly relevant, and I am supporting him in it and trying to save you wasting your money: "A qualified practitioner would tell you exactly where to put it. Another qualified practitioner would say exactly the opposite. How would you know?"

Your Buddha's granite, you say, and i take that 'for granite'. Wind and rain will give it an authentic patina without actually defacing it. That's what the wind and water of 'feng shui' should do in a garden, is all.

Youre not (gasp) offended, are you?

I'm going to take a guess preference, I would place it facing East where the Sun rises.
