Best Answer

"Ideally, Buddhist altars should be set in the east; this is because the Buddha sat facing east beneath the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, when he espied the morning star and experienced great enlightenment. The east is where the sun rises, illuminating us all."

The Buddha should not face south, as this is associated with Yama. North is the preferred direction.
