Why can’t Feng Shui homes be close to churches or temples?

First of all, these religious places are places where gods and wandering spirits (the deceased) like to go. There are often large-scale Dharma gatherings or Jiao activities to transcend the deceased, or churches often pray for the deceased. If you live too close to each other, you may easily offend the deceased!

Temples, palaces, churches, etc. are places where everyone can go. It is more complicated for people to come in and out. Most people who want to pray to gods and Buddhas want to ask for money. If the gods and Buddhas do not give it, it is easy for such people to take risks ( Personal experience: There will be more criminal cases for minor theft)!

Temple and temples often have random donation boxes for sesame oil money. There are many people in Taiwan who steal gold medals or sesame oil money from gods and Buddhas. Sometimes they even steal the statues of gods and Buddhas! You said that if such a person stole all the sesame oil money, would he want to steal it from people nearby?
