Question
i have a few buddhism books at home, is it allright that i put them on the floor on should i put them in somthing eltse or should i put a blanket over the floor then put the books on them?
Hi Tyson,
It doesn't really matter where or how you put them. But as a matter of common sense and giving due respect to Dhamma books, put them in a more decent and respectful place. Bookshelves should be good enough.
Please note that the Buddha taught peace and truth by understanding the 4 Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. Concentrate on following his teachings by reducing greed, hatred and delusion, and cultivate the mind to be alert and peaceful.
