Facing of Kuan Yin Altar

These are some considerations:

1. Sun rays

1.1. Ideally, in an East / West direction; avoid the altar "soaked" in direct sunlight.

1.2. Thus if there is direct sunlight that shines and heat up the altar say from 7.30am to 10.30 or even 11 plus depending on the location it is placed, then there should be a blind or screen or curtains to shield the altar from direct sunlight..

1.3. The above is more so, if the altar faces or has part of it soaked by the afternoon sun. It is not like you can go and buy a rayban sunglass for e.g. Guan Yin.

2. Ideally, the altar should not share the same wall as the toilet and also avoid having it face the bedrooms etc..

3. Both in the Indian Vastu principles and Chinese principles: avoid placing an altar along the NE to SW alignment : as this can inadvertently create a portal : where NE is the devils main gate/door and SW the portal's backdoor.

4. Look at it another way: If you home is tiny and if you still want to have an altar: the maxim goes: "Which you prefer the devil or the deep blue see to place that altar?"

4.1 If you have lots of alternative then talk. If none, then unfortunately"shut-up".

Hi CecilI understand that kuan
yin is best placed facing out
of the living room
windows. Does the
direction matter? E.g.
right now, our kuan yin is
sitting in the east facing out
of the living room windows
which is in the west.
Any issue with that?
