Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 23, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 23, 2016 Please see attachment: 1. Often, if the wall at marking "A" is extended e.g. as highlighted in yellow; and if there is no stove behind this; then "A" is often the preferred location over "B". 2. There is really limited space in such a layout plan. 2.1 Thus, often as you have highlighted marking "B" is the next better choice or last resort. 2.2 The reason why marking A is preferred is because:- 2.2.1 The altar is further away from the two bedrooms. Thus if one lights up joss sticks for many hours and if someone is in either of the bedrooms; there is a higher chance of getting lung cancer. 2.2.2 Although at marking "A"; still possible, thou. But at least it is further way from the bedrooms. If one is in the living room; then frankly it does not matter where the altar is: if it is lighted up most of the time. 2.2.3 Although it is common to walk in to see an altar; especially in a temple; some could consider that by doing so; the altar e.g. Guan Yin now becomes like a "condo" guard... seeing who's coming into the home. This is still not a major issue. Given that many homes does this sort of thing. 3. Thus, in general, marking "A" is a first choice if there is a solid wall behind the altar. From your diagram; looks like the wall is too short unless one uses only a 2 ft by 2ft altar and not one that is 35" or greater in width.

myfs_161274 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi Mr Cecil. Thanks a lot. I do not think I'm able to place the altar located at A as the wall is really small. But if I place at B, is ok if I placed the TV that location?Thanks a lot for ur earlier advice. Quote On 2/23/2016 12:10:39 PM, Anonymous wrote:Please see attachment:1.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted March 10, 2016 1. Still possible to be a B. As nowadays TV sets are thin.2. Best to use a standard altar or if not; most important the table top is 126cm or 49 3/4 inches is ideal Quote On 3/9/2016 10:19:57 PM, Anonymous wrote:Hi Mr Cecil. Thanks a lot.
