Cannon Piece / Curtains or Kuan Yin figurine

[Guest]

Thanks so much for your advice, I will try using the see through curtain as a last result. I do however, have a very small (2 1/2 inches high) figurine , it's off white in color and called a Kuan yin & Dragon, would this be acceptable to place on my desk? If not, where is a good place to put it and what is it's general purpose? I received it as a gift and was never really sure where to place it. Also, would you explain what a "cannon Piece" is as I am not familiar with what that is. Many, many thanks.

Dear Carrie,
I agree with you. You should try out the curtain first.
This is because, one should not place the Kuan Yin figurine on a study table or in the bedroom.
For those who are not sure what the Kuan Yin figurine looks like, there is a photo of it under the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures) look for something like figurine...
The reason why one should not place the Kuan Yin figurine is that it is a revered Chinese `God'. She is called the Goddess of Mercy. Locally, in Singapore, there is also a temple at Waterloo Street devoted to her.
In Chinese Beliefs, (not Feng Shui) it is `dirty' for Gods to look at human beings especially in intimate locations. For example, it is inauspicious to change clothes in-front of such God (figurine).
Similarly, the figurines should not be placed on the same wall as the toilet. For the same reason as above.
Such figurines can be placed inside a private room e.g. library or the living room facing out of a window (for example).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
