Question : Is there a wealth corner in every house?
Answer : Yes. In every house there is a position
that if appropriately decorated can improve the wealth luck of
the people living in the house. It is where the star responsible
for wealth dwells. An accurate measurement has to be taken to
locate the wealth corner. The Feng Shui Principle : "Mountain
is responsible for health and water for wealth" refers to
the "mountain star" and "water star" in the
"flying star chart". In the seventh period (1984-2003)
the dominating star is 7. Where the water star (direction star)
7 resides is the wealth corner. Where the direction star #8 resides
is a secondary wealth corner. In fact, there are two wealth corners
instead of just one.
Question : Is there a simple way to locate the wealth
corner of a house?
Answer : No. There are some "simple ways"
to define the wealth corner. Don't be fooled by the "simple
is good" maxim. These simple ways can be harmful :
Wrong concept #1. When you enter a house, the right hand corner on
the other end of the house is the wealth corner. Sheng chi entering
a house goes in the clockwise direction until it reaches the furthermost
corner and stays there. Therefore this is the wealth corner.
Wrong concept #2. In the New Age Ba Gua, the wealth station is one
of the eight life stations.
This is an octagon, not the Ba Gua.
Question : Is Feng Shui related to religion?
Answer: No. Feng Shui has no religious background.
Some "Feng Shui masters" claim to have learnt Feng Shui from a Buddhist monk.
This is not creditable. A real Buddhist is prohibited to practice
Feng Shui and all kinds of fortune telling. Feng Shui is an unconventional
science that has theoretical results supported by unverified
statistical data. The task of Feng Shui students in the future
is to integrate Feng Shui into conventional science. To claim that
there is a more powerful transcendental part of Feng Shui is nothing
more than deceitful marketing.
Question : Can Feng Shui be practiced without using
a Luo Pan?
Answer : Yes and no. Using a Luo Pan is fine. Using
an accurate compass serves the same purpose. Practicing Feng Shui
without an instrument to measure the sitting and facing is either
irresponsible or ignorant.
Question : Can Feng Shui be learnt without a
"shifu"(Feng Shui master who teaches this art)?
Answer : Why not? But then you will have to study
all kinds of Feng Shui books in the world, scrutinize them one
by one, accept the good ones and reject the bad ones. It will
take years to accomplish something. The greatest masters in the
history of Feng Shui did not learn Feng Shui from a shifu but from
books.
Question : Are mirrors (convex, concave and plain)
powerful weapons to kill sha chi?
Answer : No. A mirror can only reflect light falling
onto its surface. It can do nothing to whatever kinds of chi that
escape this small surface. To say that mirrors can absorb, concentrate
or disperse sha chi is only wishful thinking.
Question : Can Feng Shui bring you wealth?
Answer : Feng Shui can create a harmonious environment
that improves a person's health, the clarity of mind and alertness.
In this way the person has the energy and wisdom to deal with
a lot of things including making money. Good Feng Shui does not
bring you wealth if you do not go for it but it should give you
the necessary urge to seek fame and fortune.
Question : Are toilets harmful (to health, wealth
and marriage)?
Answer : A toilet in ancient China is a dirty place.
Germs multiply there and cause health problems. When someone is
sick, money has to be spent and a lot of money making opportunities
are missed. It also has a bad effect on the relationship between
family members particularly the husband and the wife. Therefore
it should be located at a remote position. In today's houses unless
you do not flush the toilets and maintain them in clean and hygienic
condition, toilets do not contribute any harmful effects. Some
of the ancient Feng Shui rules have to be revised. It is irresponsible
teaching that flushing the toilet flushes out the wealth.
Question : My indoor plants wither and die. Is this
bad Feng Shui?
Answer : Yes. If you put your house plant in a place
with fresh air, sunshine, right humidity and temperature, free
from harmful radiation (sha chi), there is no reason why it will
not grow well. What is bad for a plant is also bad for you. Find
out the cause and do something to cure the house.
Question : The fish in my aquarium died. Has it sacrificed
for me? Is my house under the attack of sha chi? Do I continue
to replace the dead fish so that another live one will sacrifice
for me?
Answer : The fish did not sacrifice for you. It died
because the environment is unsuitable. Find out the cause and
make the necessary corrections. We install a fish tank because
we need the water element to promote wealth luck. We do not use
the fish to "absorb" the sha chi and die for us.
Question : Some Feng Shui masters say that when the
needle in the Luo Pan is unstable in a house, the house is haunted.
He will have to drive away the evil spirit and bless the house.
Is this true?
Answer : The needle in the Luo Pan is unstable because
the electro-magnetic field in the house is not stable. It may
be due to the fluctuating strength of the electric current in
cables nearby or some unknown source of magnetic instability.
In fact, the Luo Pan reading inside a house is never accurate nowadays
especially in high rise buildings. Feng Shui practitioners using
the Lo Pan to "trace" the energy inside a house is just
fooling his clients. The Luo Pan is only used to find the sitting
and facing of a building. It is to be used outdoors where it is
free from electro-magnetic interference. Anyone who moves around
inside the house holding the Luo Pan in hand is just acting.
Question : Can you tell me in which direction (clockwise
or anti-clockwise) should the Tai Ji (better known as the "yin-yang"
in the west) rotate? In some books it is clockwise while in some
others it is anti-clockwise.
Answer : The Tai Ji is in fact three dimensional.
It is a sphere, not a circle. If it is clockwise on one side,
it will be anti-clockwise on the other. It is like a pair of fish
connected head to tail and tail to head. In the space, we should
not have the sense of up and down. Therefore it does not matter
whether it rotates clockwise or anti-clockwise, vertically or
horizontally placed. Do not consider the invention of the reverse
ba gua as a great discovery. On the other hand, it is not necessary
to make a fuss about nothing.
Question : Is there a career corner in a house? Some
say it is the northern section of the house while others say that
the section containing the entrance is responsible for career
success.
Answer : We must take the entire house into consideration,
not just a section of the house. If the stars responsible for
wisdom and determination are well used, there will be success
in studies for students and career for a grown up. The North (Water
Palace in the Hou Tien Ba Gua) does contribute to wisdom but there
are other considerations. The entrance to a house has unparalleled
importance. It is not just responsible for career success.
Question : Can Feng Shui save a broken marriage or
a business from bankruptcy?
Answer : Yes and no. If the form and stars are all
but a mess, no matter what is done with the intention to cure,
it will be a futile effort. Some places are just beyond our capability
to correct. The only solution is to move to a suitable place.
If we can turn a place into one that is in harmony, full of energy
and love, the intended results can be expected.
Question : What are Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and Man
Luck?
Answer : In modern language it is simply Time, Space
and Event.
At a certain time there are happenings in the Universe
that affect every individual. In the large there are stars born
and destroyed. In the small the assigned value of the time variable
produces a certain functional value to a person's luck equation.
We call this Heaven Luck.
Different places in the Universe are subjected to
different conditions. In a smaller scale, opportunities in different
parts of the word are entirely different. If we take a more individualized
scale, where a person is located may determine a lot of his life.
This is Earth Luck. A simpler way of saying is that Fengshui affects
the well being of people.
What a man does is the cause of some result. The
decision made at a cross road determines the result. This is Man
Luck.
Heaven Luck is beyond our control. We have to live
with it. Some people are just born lucky. Some have to work much
harder to be recognized and rewarded. Earth Luck and Man Luck
are what we can manage. If a person works hard and performs noble
acts, with the help of feng shui, the achievement can be outstanding
even if the Heaven Luck is not that satisfactory.
