Cushion rack
Mats in the shrine room
I attended meditation at the Rigpa Centre. The reception room had a rack of cushions. On the shrine room carpet were laid mats, and on those cushions, cloths and invocation sheets. Behind the shrine were four tankas, of Guru Padma-Sambhava, Guru Sakyamuni Buddha, and Vajrakilaya. The shrine comprised many images, statues and ritual offerings. A big candle was at the front.
