A Buddhist priest advises a woman with about fifteen ancestral spirit tablets in her Buddhist altar on how to organize them. The priest suggests consulting her family temple (bodaiji) or a local temple if she doesn't have one. If neither is possible, she can research her family's Buddhist sect and contact its main temple. Spirit tablets represent ancestors and the flow of life, making them sacred. The priest also advises showing consideration to any Buddhist supply shop that assists her.
