In Tibet, setting up a shrine at home has been traditionally widely practised, not only within the Tibetan tradition but throughout the Buddhist world.

In every Tibetan family, even if they only have a tent to live in, there will alway be a shrine set up. In the monasteries the monks have shrines in their own rooms, often elaborate ones! The reason for setting up a shrine is not for fame, for showing off wealth, or to increase pride, but rather it is to reduce one’s mental afflictions.
