Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is there any particular direction that the Kuan Yin altar must face? How about facing the main entrance ofa house? Is it OK? Or is it better to face the living room windows? Generally, any alter should follow the following rules:- 1. The altar should not face the main door entrance. This is like employing the god as a security guard for the house. 2. Try if possible not to let the altar face the dining table as the god will be looking at the food while you eat. 3. Try not to have the toilet located directly behind the wall that you place the altar. 4. The altar should not face into the bedroom. Generally, it is best to place the altar lo…

For practical reasons, this is a last resort. So long as the stove is not on the opposite side of the wall, this is still ok. No issue with cabinets on the opposite side of the wall to store kitchen items. Anonymous wrote: Can the altar table share the same wall as the kitchen wall but without the stove at the same wall of course? If can, is it good fengshui toput cabinets at the same wall? Thank you very much.

Usually it is best to havea sketch and it also depends on whether it is a Chinese altar or an Indian Puja or Pooja (hindu worship place).

Dear Eng Soon, Generally, often it is best to purchase ready made altars. Most of the time, these altars are made according to Feng Shui measurements. If you have a Feng Shui ruler, most of the time, good altars have both measurements for both Yang (living) and Yin (dead) Feng Shui ruler measurements that match good auspicious measurements within these two zones. Thus, generally, good altar measurements range between:- 15 inches to 17 inches 16 to 27.5 inches 34 to 35.5 inches 41.5 to 23 inches 49.5 to 50.5 inches 57 to 58.5 inches Any of the above can be used for either the Width, Height, Length or Breath of an altar.

These ae some of the considerations:- 1. Do a search in this forum for "altar" and there are many resources on this topic. For example:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=27987&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=27336&new= 2. Attach a copy of your current layout plan with a simple sketch of where your current altar is and if possible also say the living room sitting arrangement(s) ... so that I can take a look at it.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Is it ok to place the altar(Guan Yin)facing west? I believe it is not generally bad to place facing a certain direction. In fact it depends more on what the altar is actually facing, or what is behind the altar etc. Like for example, it is bad to place any altar where the toilet is directly behind it. These type of rulesets are more important to follow, than compared to a fix ruleset that altar can never face west. Anonymous wrote: is it true that the suspended type of altar is not so good? Of course the most ideal is to place on a table where there is like support and often most altar table size is often of a standard size that is of an au…

1. If they share the same wall but different level is OK. 2. Just check to make sure that especially: 2.1. The altar does not share a wall with a toilet. Do check that directly above the altar, there should not be a bed especially a women's bed. Steve L. wrote: Hi, I know it's not good for your bed head to share the same wall as your altar. But, what if the wall is separated by floor level? The altar is on first floor while the bed is on second floor... Thank You James

Further to what I had mentioned, do take note:- 1. In your case, do avoid having the altar sharing the same wall as the toilet (even if it is only) the basin.. 2. Do take note that the Guan Yin figurine is already seated on a lotus flower; then even if one purchase a single height altar; she (Guan Yin) is already elevated... only make sure that the ancestor tablet is placed lower than the "lotus flower" seat...

Serene K. wrote: If my Bed is putting exactly same as the plan and my stove is putting as your mark as ''X''. Is it not good? Why? any solution? Yes, I suspected that your stove would have been at that location as 65 percent of such layout plans do place the stove at that position. This is under symbolism in Feng Shui; where it is considered inauspicious to have stove = fire element sharing the same wall as your bed-head. For some, they have a "thick" bed-head with a shelf behind their bed to place the alarm clock etc... this is one solution. The other is to move the bed-frame two inches away from the wall shared directly with the wall of the stove. The main concern is…

Challenge 1: Yes, there are currently ready made altars that has both a roof and side panels and sufficient depth to shield the altar from the winds. Challenge 3: In addition, such an altar already has space built in below it for an "Earth god" Alternatively, one can get a carpenter to built a custom altar with the specific dimensions:- Standard height for any altar: 125cm to 128cm. If a piece of glass is to be placed on the altar, then go for 125cm. Width depends on your needs: 18cm to 23cm or 40cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm Length: 41cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm or 71cm or 89cm or 107cm or 148cm Challenge 2: Since, the entire wall at location marked B is pretty long,…

1. Frankly, such products should be taken as "decorative" items. 2. Many take advantage of us humans and sell these products unfortunately in-the-name of Feng Shui! 3. The reason is simple: These products are cheap to produce but sold at very very high mark-up. I wonder who earns all these money. 4. Just pause for a moment and think:- Especially for those born in on or before 1975; how often do you see your parents or grand parents buying so many of these commercial "thrash?". 5. In the past, the ONLY items that are easily purchased were simple Fu Lu Shou figurines. And these are easily considered as merely decorative items. 6. Imagine in your grand parents time or…

1. In the link below, you can see a person kneeling down. The person is usually the eldest son. On the back of the eldest son's back is his deceased father's portait. You can clearly see a "learned" person using a Chinese brush coated in black ink. This person is placing "eyes" onto the deceased person's portait. Literally, this is placing an eye on a deceased person's portait. It is symbolic of opening the eyes (not on a physical body) but transferred onto the portait. It is common also for some to purchase Chinease deity figurines and have temples annoint the eyes in a similiar manner. Please see picture below:- http://cgi.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictur…

These are some of the considerations: 1. A picture or sketch tells a thousand words = none. 2. What kind of altar is it? 2.1. A Catholic altar? 2.2. A typical Chinese altar? Even within the Chinese altar; there are many groupings:- 2.2.1 Ancestor altar 2.2.2Guan Gong (usually face the main door) 2.2.3Guan Yin (Goddness of Mercy) 2.2.4Jade Emperor etc... 3. Even buddha "altar". 4. Indian pooja or puja room / altar. 5. In general; an altar:- 5.1. Should not have it's back against a toilet wall 5.2. facing a bedroom 5.3. Preferred that it should not be at the NE or SW sector of a home 5.4. Placed below abeam There are LOTs more.. just that my fingers need to crawl somewhere …
