Bathroom and auspicious symbol

[sun888_99]

Dear cecil,
I read on the forum that one should not keep the auspicious symbols or statues facing the toilet door or on the same wall as the toilet. Does that mean hanging any pictures(eg flowers etc) outside the toilet wall is bad. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
It is `reserved' for members who have a religion or have statutes of `gods' or `deities'.
For example, the Fu Lu Shou figurines should not:-
1. Directly face a toilet
2. On the same wall as the toilet.
3. Placed inside a bedroom.
The chief consideration here is to give utmost `respect' to these "gods". In a bedroom is like changing clothes in full view of the `gods'.
So far, I do not see the same rationale for applying auspicious symbols. However, I have yet to see anyone pasting an auspicious symbol inside the toilet door or facing a toilet bowl.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
