Kuan In's Finger Broken

[myfs_154426]

Dear Master,
While cleaning the altar, Kuan In's finger broke off. I have fixed it back with super glue.
Is there any implications from this? If I fix it back is it OK? Do I need to get a new one?
This Kuan In was invited by my late grandmother and it has blessed us for 20+ years already.
I'm concerned about this ... please give me your advice. Thanks !
Regards,
MysticDragon

These are some considerations:
1. In the 1960's my grandparent had also a Guan Yin figurine. And was also blessed and given to me in the 1970's. This figurine also has some chipped part e.g. the tip of one of the red lotus leaf was chipped off slightly at the tip.
2. In the last few days I still displayed it (not for praying) but kept as one of the decorative piece in a display shelf. But I have since packed it up.
3. Sounds abit similar to your situation. Although yours has her finger chipped off and fixed back.
3.1 In my opinion, it is real waste or too drastic to "throw" it away.
3.2 If you feel really unsettled, then get a replacement "blessed" and maybe keep or store this one away. Given that you still pray to a Guan Yin. Perhaps even later on, throw it away - if question comes up in the future or everything remains status quo..
3.3 Thus I feel that there is really no harm to keep or store it away given that it does have SENTIMENTAL value, like what I had mentioned under Para 1. And since it belongs to your later grandmother all the more... again NO HARM storing away later on SHOULD you decide to buy a new Guan Yin. Unless it takes too much space in your home.
4. Frankly there is no hard or fast rule. Like a former Singapore Minister: Mr George Yeo says "go with the flow" or in my opinion: go with your gut feel.
4.1. Or check with your spouse or elder for their advice. Treat it like a "National conversation" in your family. Again it has to do with your feelings afterwards. What I mentioned under Para 3.2 is in my opinion, more on the practical side of things.

Under Human or Man Luck factor, yes, it is always excellent to seek immediate family member's view.
This often shifts the entire burden of "responsibility" to shared responsibility = consensus.
Here, it not only put you personally at ease but also indirectly boost your Human or Man Luck factor.
(Under the Holy Trinity of Luck: Heaven (born with) and Feng Shui (Earth luck of home and office).
Another or last category of luck Human or Man Luck must never, never to overlooked. Some people, don't have great Heaven nor Feng Shui luck; but with strong Human or Man Luck; it can transcend over the other two type of luck.)
