Hello All,
I am a sucker for hidden symbolism and allegoric teachings. I am about to totally redesign my training hall, and I would like to incorporate as much symbolism as possible into the design. I'm looking for any ideas you all may have. What I really want are things that have deeper meanings than just what is seen on the surface, for things that could lead those who look toward the more esoteric teachings. For example, the school is pretty much set up on the Golden Ratio, and there are swastikas hidden within the decorative lattice work in the moon portal style windows. I'm looking more for "include 3 of such and such because three is the number which represents Creation and the Manifest Universe," rather than" stick three Buddha statues in the corner for luck." (Although I could always use a little more luck ) I would also like any information on proper altar setup and placement. Any ideas?
