Dear Anon,

1. Yes, usually this is true or the general consensus is that the ancestor's tablet or picture should not be next to a deity.

The main rationale is that even in death, a mortal or human cannot even come close to a deity or an immortal.

2. According to one belief, to place an ancestor or a `PERSON' next to a deity is like placing the person in par with a deity.

3. However, it is common to find some believers place buddha statues or figurines next to e.g. Guan Imm as they are of `equal' stature.

In such cases, the advice is that if they are placed `next' to each other, the use of raised rest to `partition' one from the other e.g. like steps.

4. It is still acceptable to place the ancestor's tablet facing the back of the house.

But usually, avoid placing it facing the door. It can be placed with the door on the side.

`Here' some feel that one should not let an ancestor `guard' the door of the house. This is akin to letting the ancestor become a `security' guard.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
