myfs_119956 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Dear Master,We are renting out our flat and the tenant wanted to bring in their ancestor and worship in our house. Please advise:1) Is this appropriate for the tenant to worship their ancestor in other people's house?2) The owner is an old couple, what would be the impact on the owner?Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 20, 2011 Staff Share Posted October 20, 2011 These are some considerations:1. In my opinion, on the contrary, often or rather the "opposite" is the case. Here, for majority of people; they would think "thrice" or none-at all; the notion of putting their ancestor tablet in other people's home.2. Firstly, as you had metioned; if we were to place ourselves in other's shoe; we would not want to "inconvenience" the "owner" of the home in imposing our "ancestor tablet" in other's home since perhaps we are renting only a room.3. But, if you are renting the entire home; yes, so long as the tenant does not drill holes; and they bring in an altar plus gods and/or ancestor tablet; this has been done before.4. But if the house is still stayed in by an old couple and the tenant rents a room then; most of us don't feel comfortable with this arrangement.5. This may be far fetched; but often, if there are other immediate relatives; living in Singapore, it is up to the tenant to negotiate with his/her sister/brother or other family members to "park" the ancestor tablet at their home instead. This is only the right thing to do. 6. As a last resort, often if it is just symbolic an ancestor tablet; could be considered. However, if it is urn containing ashes.. then best that "these people (the tenant)" buy a niche at one of the colomburian and house it there and then.
