What impact does having a temple nearby have on residential Feng Shui?

1. Traditional Feng Shui believes that places near shrines, temples and other places have the heaviest Yin energy. Because some "yin spirits" will gather here, they all belong to the "yin evil" place, so the "yin energy" is the heaviest. Such a concept cannot be said to be scientific, but its influence cannot be ignored. Some people are influenced by the concept of gods. If the main entrance of their house faces places such as altars, temples, Taoist temples, and churches, they will have fear or inexplicable obstacles in their hearts. If such a person has always been in poor health or is sensitive by nature, they should not choose a residence close to a temple or church. Otherwise, it will bring too much shadow and burden to people's psychology.

2. When people encounter sorrow, resentment, and depression, they will go to places like temples to seek shelter from the gods, burn incense and make wishes in order to relax. Therefore, if the house is too close to temples, shrines and other places, it will have an extremely inappropriate impact on people's psychology, especially on children.

3. People believe that because temples and churches are usually built in places with elegant scenery and good environment, and are in geomantic treasures, all the prosperous energy is taken up, leaving little remaining. The houses built nearby must have formed a pattern of strong externality and weak internality. If the vitality is weak, there will be no good luck. Such an environment is naturally uninhabitable and unhealthy for people who believe in gods.

4. Temples, altars, churches and other places are public places. There are many people and constant noise, and the environment lacks tranquility, so it is not an ideal living environment.

5. In cities, many shrines are located in alleys and buildings, and the environment is noisy and chaotic. Feng Shui believes that this altar will never be the place where the real gods and Buddhas descend. Most of them are lower gods, which are somewhat disguised as gods and Buddhas. They respond to requests and make people believe them to be real. Although scientifically speaking, it will not be a big hindrance to people, but its environment will create a gloomy feeling and is not conducive to people's living and physical and mental health.

The core of traditional Feng Shui is the study of the state of the aura. Whether the yin and yang qi are balanced will have a great impact on people's physical and mental health. According to Feng Shui theory, places that are too close to temples have a lot of resentment, or the "yin energy" is too concentrated. So it is not good to have a temple near a residence. These places will disturb the nearby aura or energy and affect the human ecological environment.

However, as the modern population increases, there is less and less land for people to live on. Therefore, it is inevitable that temples will face homes. This is an unchangeable fact. As modern people, we should have a scientific understanding of the home environment where temples and churches exist. When we establish a scientific worldview and use positive energy to suppress negative energy, temples and churches are usually built in places with elegant scenery, which also makes us feel a good home environment.
