[@Aisling] "I've got some night blooming flowers, as well as day blooming ones," Vladislaus explained. "But the flowers and candles aren't there to make it look beautiful. The flowers stand for transitoriness, and the candles stand for all the beautiful things in the world, which you give to Buddha. - If a Buddha has been put up correctly, he's facing the east, but the sun never shines in his eyes, in order not to blind him. He always has a wall or something else to support his back behind him, and he's been put on an elevated place, like a table. This is because the Buddha is supposed to be an idol that you look up to. And you should avoid touching and moving him if it isn't necessary."
