Meditation with a Statue
Question
Hello, honored Rabbi,
Am I allowed to practice meditation in a spacious tent that has a Buddha statue in the center?
The statue itself is not connected to the meditation and is there as decoration / to give people a sense of exaltedness.
Thank you in advance, and well done on the site.
Answer
For others, is the meditation connected to worship of the statue? A Buddha statue also is not really something people worship, as far as I understand.
