Korean home altar

Post by KiwiNFLFan »

Hi, I'll be moving to Korea in just over a month or so, and I want to know about setting up a Buddhist altar in the Korean tradition. I haven't been able to find much information about Korean Buddhist altars online. Are they like Japanese butsudans or more like Chinese altars? Can you get the sort that can be closed (it looks like I'll be in a one-room studio apartment)? Also, what is the Korean terminology for a Buddhist altar and where can you buy them?

Well, depends. There's the making of a simple table and arranging out offerings(whether ancestor or not). Really, it doesn't matter, though best ask the abbot. Whenever my grandma did this on certain days, she usually would go up a mountain or high area(my grandpa ordered his ashes scattered out to save the pain of a tomb) and arrange out the offerings. There, she would then leave and not look back as is respect.
However, just remember this. When placing items like statues or offerings on the table, make sure not to make a single sound. Gently place a bowl without the tapping sound being heard. It must be absolute silence.

I think your best bet would be contacting Kwan um Zen groups. Maybe they would be able to answer some of your questions. :smile:

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

But I'm also curious, the closest thing I've seen resembling a buddhist home altars in Korea are the ones that are quite elaborate, but in Shamanic lodges instead of houses!

The image isn't working, but remember, shamanism, Buddhism, and Confucianism have mixed in daily life. For example, red beans as a method to ward off evil is a shamanic practice, yet monks have used it in exorcism. In funerals, the shamans practice the 49 day funeral on the last day with monks believing in the Korean death deities(though it will depend on lineage).

As I said, traditions mix. There are even mudangs that worship Jesus or Genghis Khan! Though as you see here in this shrine, it's a mixture of enlightened deities and Korean deities(you can say they serve as protectors).

However, at home, shrines can be simple. More like an ancestral shrine, but with the image of the deity or something like that(though you don't see many Koreans worshiping Korean gods like Dangun)

Lay people do not usually set up altars in their home, this is a legacy of Buddhism being suppressed and discriminated against during the Joseon dynasty. One result of that political campaign was the widespread belief that having Buddhist altars at home causes bad luck and misfortune (a more charitable interpretation was that lay homes were not pure enough to host Buddhas and bodhisattvas).

These days, there are some slow changes but it is still not a popular practice to have a home altar. However, the basic set up would be a Buddha image, with a bowl for water and an incense burner in the centre, between a pair of candlesticks. Travelling monks often carried around a bulgam (불감) travelling altar.

Thanks. I didn't know that - I just assumed it would be like Chinese and Japanese Buddhism which do have home altars.

What sort of Buddha image is normally enshrined? Shakyamuni, Amitabha, Kwan Se Eum (Avalokiteshvara)? I saw on Gmarket a set of Amitabha, Avalokiteshvara and Mahasthamaprapta statues, so maybe I'll get those. To be honest, I know very little about Mahasthamaprapta and would prefer Ksitigarbha, but I know that the three of them are worshipped together. I'd also like to enshrine a picture of Tara (I have one here that I can bring).

Since I'll be living in a one-room studio apartment, I understand that the practice is to have an altar with doors that can be closed (at least that's what I read from Master Jun Hong Lu's site). Are these easy to come by in Korea, or will I need to improvise? If it comes to it, is there anywhere in Korea that makes Japanese butsudan?

This looks more applicable to an altar in a temple, not in a home. Does the same etiquette apply?

Koreans would probably enshrine a single Buddha image, whichever Buddha they have an affinity too. The most common would be Shayamuni Buddha, Amitabha, Medicine Buddha, Avalokitesvara (very popular), Ksitigarbha. Mahasthamaprapta is an important bodhisattva in Pure Land, because he is one of Amitabha's attendant bodhisattvas (the other being Avalokitesvara), often considered to be Vajrapani bodhisattva by a different name. You can read more about him in this Shurangama Sutra chapter (link also contains commentary to the sutra), which is considered one of the five Pure Land sutra texts. In Korea it is actually quite common for Amitabha, Avalokitesvara, and Ksitigarbha to form a triad, especially on altars for the deceased and in the Amitabha hall.

Now, I would not take Jun Hong Lu's claims regarding the dharma too seriously (there is little to criticise in encouraging people to recite sutras and mantras, but some other notions such as certain mantras not being allowed to recite at certain times of the days is a bit 'superstitious'). You can just place the altar as is, but if your mind is uncomfortable with the altar being 'exposed' while you live your daily life in front of it, perhaps you might be interested in a bulgam which opens and closes, and is easily portable. The ones here and here actually feature Amitabha, Avalokitesvara, and Ksitigarbha like you were looking for. The artistic styles are actually Chinese, but the Buddha is still Buddha.

Great! I'll see if I can do that then. I'll have a look in Seoul to see what shops there are available that sell Buddha images and altars.

Oh, so that's what those fold-out image things are.

I was told that sexual activity should not take place in a room with a Buddha image, and so if an altar needs to be installed in a bedroom, it should be able to be closed off.
