Altar Placement Recommendation

[Izac]

Dear Master Lee,

based on the attached floorplan, could you kindly advise if which is a better option to place the Altar?

If both are no suitable, can recommend other placement?

My Altar is a Buddhist Altar.

Thank you in advance.

Option 1 is the preferred choice.

If Option 2 is selected: The altar should not be positioned against the same wall as a bed or any potential sleeping area. If the altar's width measures 60 cm, Option 2 may be considered, as illustrated in the modified image. Long-term exposure to incense smoke may pose a cancer risk. Given its proximity to the living area and the bedrooms, this concern is particularly significant.

Dear Master Lee,

Noted on the wall sharing for option 2. I might proceed with option 1.

However, will it be a concern for option 1 since both the Altar & the store is sharing the same wall?

Thank you in advance.

1. It is common to do so. What would be worse if the altar shares the same wall as a toilet or stove.

2. Look here:  Those in need cannot afford to be selective. 

3. One may find themselves in a situation where their living space is modest, and the options for location are restricted, lacking an ideal setting. It is a reality that those in need often have no say in their circumstances. 

No offense... it is akin to "Beggars are not ...da...da...da..
