frequently lights up joss-sticks; then
as mentioned previously, most likely the
joss fumes may flow into the various
bedrooms. And if family members are
often at home... no good for their
lungs. And in the long term could be

other. Thus, under symbolism; a gap (as
a last resort) means that one has to use
a separate BACKING for each of the
altar.As it is very inaupicious for the
Thai god to share the same back panel
with Chinese one.If the Thai is a FOUR
FACED God then forget about placing them
back-to-back even with the gap. Maybe
promote the Four faced god to the
balcony if there is a roof above it.
This is subject to EC-condo approval,

so, the altar could
be
placed parallel

wall.
Or perhaps, one
altar is placed,
at
marking "B" and
another location
is
found for the other
altar.3.1. But
if
an altar is placed at
"B"; and
if
some family members are at
home
most
of the time e.g. a child
studying
in
the morning and returning
home
to
his/here room could find
the
"fumes"
from the lighted joss
flowing
into
their bedroom. Or a
retired
parent.
(Long term can

cancerous).3.2. If
altar or for
that
matter; as shown in
your
diagram;
then a bed-head should not
be
too
close to the markings
"XX".4.
Marking
"C" or "D" is one of
those
last
resort provided there
is
sufficient
space and avoid
placing
the altar next
to or around 1
metre
next to the TV /
High-fi area.5.
If
balcony has a solid
wall then "E"
is
another one of those
last,
last
resort. Since your
compass
marking
shows that there is no
afternoon
or
morning sun-shine to this
area.6.
A
last resort is like your
placement.
BUT
try to create a small
void
between the
two altars as shown
in
the illustration:

Hi Matser,

Thank you very much for your great advise.

For option B, if it is only for 1 altar. Should I place the altar parallelto bedroom wall as mentioned by you (altar will face sofa direction) or I can still place the altar there but facing balcony or main door?

By the way, what is the purpose of the small gap / vacuum gap?

Thank you very much.
