- Well, first you have to understand that Buddhism can be a religion or a philosophy. Most Chinese practice Buddhism as a religion, and therefore they aren't going to be using these altars to meditate with but rather to pray to. There is a incredibly large panthenon of various Buddhas who represent different things--fertility, good fortune, etc. So it could be very useful to have that specific Buddha at the press of a button.
