Ancestor worship is the beauty of the old culture of the Vietnamese people. So every family has an altar. This is a place to show respect to ancestors. Each family chooses the most solemn place to lay the altar. However, not everyone arranges the worship space according to feng shui.
Thus, in feng shui, the worship space is a dignified place, requires quiet, and especially needs to avoid strong winds and direct sunlight. In addition, the worship space also needs ventilation because every incense burnt will leave a smell of smoke that creates a mystery.
So how do you arrange the windows of the worship room to suit feng shui?
– Do not arrange too many windows in the worship room will cause loss of welfare. It is better to leave only 1 small window for the worship room.
– The window should not be placed opposite the altar, the window can be placed on the left or right wall of the altar.
– Windows should not be placed above or below the altar.
– Should be based on the direction of the house and the destiny of the house to choose the location of the window, avoiding the direction with a lot of sun and wind.
– The size of the church room window must be based on the standard and the size on the Lu Ban ruler. For the church room, you should choose a double pane window.
In addition, there are some notes such as:
Altars must not be placed under the crossbar
If the bar on the ceiling was directly above the altar, it would produce a pressurized killing intent. Therefore, it is necessary to place the altar in another place or remove the bars.
Don’t put the altar in the aisle
Altar is a place where you should be calm and peaceful. Therefore, placing it near a noisy road will bring homeowners no luck, a waste of money. In addition, it is not recommended to place the worship room next to or under the children’s room, the playground will lose the necessary calm for the worship space.
Do not place the altar near the toilet or bathroom
The altar is the holiest place in the house. Therefore, when erecting the altar, the owner should absolutely not place it near the toilet, bathroom or contaminated areas such as near sewers… This will contaminate the sacred space. If the house is too narrow, choose a high place and stay away from unclean places as much as possible.
Don’t place the altar too open
The place of worship needs to ensure respect and reverence. Therefore, it is absolutely not recommended for outsiders to enter the house to see all the altars, tablets and ancestral statues. If the house has many floors, the altar should be placed on the top floor. Above the altar was the roof and sky, no other buildings overlapped.
In front of the altar is a formal room, behind is a staircase or spaces such as drying yards and warehouses. In the case of placing the altar on the lower or middle floor, the furnace should be avoided under the altar; above is a bathroom, toilet, bed or heavy object on it.
As for apartment buildings, if the altar and living room are placed on the same ground, then there must be a partition or screen separating the prayer room and the reception room. This is to avoid a direct view of the sanctuary.
