It’s better to set up an altar where it’s bright, pure and clean.
The best location would be next to a window in the living room.

Caller:
I don’t have an altar yet. I understand that we shouldn’t set up an altar near the kitchen, toilet or inside the bedroom. I’m not sure where to place it.
Master Lu:
Set it up by a window. The best location would be by a window in the living room.
Caller:
But there’s only a wall in between the bathroom and the kitchen.
Master Lu:
You’d rather place it closer to the kitchen or bedroom than the toilet, but the bedhead should never be directly behind the altar. Moving the bed to the side even just a little bit is fine. Avoid setting up the altar close to these three places. Near a window is best.
It’s advisable to set up an altar in a spare room to make it a small Buddhist hall

(Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program)
Caller:
Hello Master, is it better to have the altar in a room, or in the living room?
Master Lu:
Generally, it’s better to place an altar in a room by itself where no one sleeps in, such as the study room. If all rooms are occupied, you can set it up in the living room.
Caller:
I have a spare room.
Master Lu:
Then it’s best to set it up in the spare room. This way, it’s like having a small Buddhist hall. Because you would eat and talk in the living room and sometimes put your feet up, which isn’t respectful.
