Tao 道

Do Don't Do

The two Chinese word 'Wu Wei' or don't do which actually is a short term for the above phrase have also been often misinterpreted in old Chinese history where an Emperor got so fed up with it that he banned the teachings of Lao Tzu when he managed to seize actual military power in his reign. Guess which Emperor? The Emperor was annoyed that his ancestor had passed down the meanings of "The world can be ruled by letting things run their course; it cannot be ruled by interfering" which was supported by powerful ministers in court and his country divided by powerful warlords concerned more about consolidating their powers then going to war against the warring and pillaging nomadic tribes from outside the border. He was even powerless to stop his beloved sister being married off to a warlike nomadic tribe as a concession for peace and being insulted by the warring tribe when they pillage local villages on the borders for food, women and men as slaves and being forced to accept it as 'ruling without interfering'. End of the day when he managed to gain control of the military power, he trained his inferior army and sent spies to learn to improve the weapons and also to buy horses from other neutral nomadic tribe for his Calvary who has inferior horses compared to the nomadic tribes superior Calvary. In the past, war was fought on horse-backs, the enemy would attacked and then baited his army with running away and tiring his troops before turning back to attack the troops with the exhausted horses. He had then later turn the tables back against his powerful enemy and subduing them in a twenty years period with 'You asked for it', Ha-ha.....

The above was a good example of how the ancient Chinese sages teachings was even misinterpreted by the ancient Chinese themselves down along the way. Ha-ha, I' m Chinese too. The meanings of Lao Tzu' s teaching on 'Wei Wu Wei' or 'Action without action'. Its meaning is to be natural, e.g. To learn to swim, you have to learn to float in water first and as you are learning to float in water, you have to go with the water not against it as Flip Flapping with forceful energy in water would wear you out whereas if you relax or the so called 'let go', you would find that you are able to prolong your time in the water. An easier analogy would be a Chinese story of a famous butcher who was well-known for his superb skill in cutting meat precisely and super fast without wastage. His action has reached this innate level of Wei Wu Wei of cutting meat with being precise and natural(being part of it)without thinking or being too forceful, going with the flow instead. So Wei Wu Wei does not means that you don't do anything at all even when somebody wants to chop off one of your hands,
ha-ha, just kidding.

The Taoist

From Rasaviharii,

'The Tao flows though all of life, it holds all things in balance. When we find true harmony within, we open ourselves up to all of the wonder and magic around us.'



So now, what is Qi and how do you measure Qi?
Ha-ha, don't ask me.....

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon



This is for my friends on Facebook who don’t know what is Feng Shui?

What is Feng Shui?

'It was first known as Kan Yu in chinese. Kan Yu is the proper term of Feng Shui. Kan means the theory of cosmology and Yu means the theory of terrestral (Shen, Xu). To be precise, they refer to the theory of time and location in the Chinese history. In ancient time, an atlas was called "Yu Tu ",a picture of Yu. Yu here also means Earth.'

Another explanation of these two words (Jun-Sheng, Shu) is Kan means highland and Yu means depression. The basic principle of Kan Yu is to identify the loci of Qi flow on and under the ground and also compute the strength of Qi in term of time. Qi is an abstract term to represent an intangible current at which vegetation growth well, the macro or micro-climate is stable and human being live happily. The theory claim that no matter life or death located at a point of concentrated Qi will receive the good influence of Qi.

Di Li(Geography) is another ancient term to describe Kan Yu. In fact, nowadays the Chinese translation of geography in academics is called Di Li. In Yi Jing, The Classic of Change, say "looking up to have the vision of astrology, looking down to understand Di Li". However, in ancient time Di Li is not equal to modern geography. A westerner, Chatley (Ren- Kui. Li), tried to define Di Li as " an art to find the best location of life and death in order to harmonize with the cosmic breath". However, this term is not recommended to represent Kan Yu because of missing in astrological and timing elements in Kan Yu theory.'

Down the road, it then evolved into this two Chinese word which means Wind Water for the common people to understand as its concept was too abstract for them to understand. To the western world, a more appropriate word could be geophysics. The common people except for the scholars would not have understand Geography, right? So the word Feng Shui is like the word Kung Fu which the original dictionary do not have.

Why Wind and Water?

The Ancient Chinese found through time that settlements at River mouth are always prosperous and doing well as in the olden days, places lucky enough to be by a River provides a speedy and economical transport as horses are too expensive for the common people. With people from all over the regions travelling and stopping by to have a coffee break meeting, ha-ha, trading and so forth, it becomes an ideal and prosperous place to settle down. And perhaps this is one of the reason why Water was then associated with wealth. Water when amicable gives birth to life but when combined with strong winds can become devastating to life. Giving birth to Storms instead.

So the Chinese knew that strong blowing wind is also not a good thing to have at the front of your house, imagine how would it be like in winter with the ice cold wind howling at you every night as you attempt to sleep. So as that feng shui phrase ‘Qi is scattered by the wind and gather at the boundary of water.’ Meaning water is needed to collect Qi and Strong wind will take away this Qi. Apart from that, strong winds cause soil erosion for crops to be fertile and many other reasons you should know if you takes your time to research on the Net.

So down the way, a geophysicist, I won’t know the Chinese word for it, search me, ha-ha….discovered this concept of the modern armchair. It was then decided for a dwelling to have good feng Shui, you need to have protections from the two sides and the back from the winds. Then as the left always represented Male, they called it the Green Dragon as the Dragon is considered Wood element which is green. Then the Right, they called it the White Tiger as it also represented the Female and white also represent metal. The back they called it the Black Turtle. Black represent water, for the front, that is where the feng shui word ‘Bright Hall ‘ the red phoenix comes, red for fire element. And with the three sides blocking the winds, you definitely want the front to be open for convenience to get in and out of the house and bright so that you will not fell down accidentally in the dark. Actually all these terms all comes from the stars in the 28 constellations in the heavens divided into four sector of directions, North, East South and West groups. Okay, it is getting boring. Lets look at other Feng Shui terms.

So this is Feng Shui?

Then what does the toads, dragon tortoise, pi xiu, stone lions and crystals got to do with Fengshui?

Okay, let’s use an example of stone lions. Well, in the old days,as the Emperor, nobles and wealth merchants have to show off that they are somebody and the best way to start is from their house. As you notice in most Chinese show, the poor villager thatched hut does not have two menacing lions at their doors unlike the rich merchants and the nobles. Probably it is also meant as a psychological effects to tell any unwanted guest to stay away and also it is a trend for the rich families at that time to have one,

An explanations from Wilkipedia:

'The lions are traditionally carved from decorative stone, such as marble and granite or cast in bronze or iron. Because of the high cost of these materials and the labor required to produce them, private use of Imperial guardian lions was traditionally reserved for wealthy or elite families. Indeed, a traditional symbol of a family's wealth or social status was the placement of Imperial guardian lions in front of the family home.

Interestingly, there has never been evidence of lions being indigenous to China; however Asiatic lions were once quite common in neighboring India. These Asiatic lions[3] found in nearby India are the ones depicted in Chinese culture. As Buddhism was spread in China by traveling Buddhist priests and monks from India, they brought with them stories about stone Asiatic or Indian lions guarding the entries to Indian Buddhist temples & monasteries and the palaces of Indian Kings. Chinese sculptors modeled lion statues after native dogs (compare the Chow Chow, Pekingese, Shi Tzu, Shar-Pei, Pug, etc., and closely related dog breeds originating in ancient China called Foo Dogs) for use outside their temples and palaces, as nobody in ancient China had ever seen a real lion before. The mythic version of the animal was known as the Lion of Fo, the word Fo 佛 being Chinese for Buddha. The Chinese word for lion is "Shi" which was adopted from their Sanskrit name "Sinh" in the neighboring India.’ So now you know where the lions comes from, right?

So down the road, one smart aleck decided to make the best out of it and I am not complaining about it, okay? The rest, I would have no need to explain further, as you can research on what miracles it is supposed to do for you on the Net.

To be continued.




Now for the rest of my friends who are into Feng Shui, this interesting,thread was taken from a forum quite a few years ago by a forumer called Qing Long Wu on his understanding of what Fengshui is about.

‘I will share with all an introduction about finding luck-enhancing directions based on Four Pillars.

Actually, there are two kind of directions, of course. Auspicious and inauspicious. But surely all we want is to tap on the auspicious and avoid the inauspicious.

Okay, let's go :

The standard (mandatory) requirements to calculate the directions are :

1. Basic Four Pillars of the person.
2. Current Luck Pillars he/she has.

Additional informations which will improve the accuracy of the calculation :

1. Facing direction of the person's current house/residence.
2. Current sleeping direction.
3. Current sitting direction which he/she used most often.
4. Basic Four Pillars of other persons who lived together in the same house/residence.

The calculation based upon Five Elements interaction, yin-yang, combinations and clashes (hint : 60 Jia Zi ).

The objective is to find directions which will complement the Five Elements in effect of the person, therefore balancing them. Of course, to achieve perfect balance is impossible. What we can get is to get near-perfect condition. Calculation process is complex, to shorten time needed I used my self-programmed software.

Result of the directions will be in exact degree of compass. It is used for our stationary directions, example : facing while working on desk, sleeping or eating.

For mobile and specific purposes, we need to use Qi Men Dun Jia.

This is much more powerful and beyond the Gua method. Result is fast and satisfying, because we truly using Feng Shui to alter our luck. Will even sharpen our luck if used in conjuction with Qi Men Dun Jia.

It is true that using proper Feng Shui arrangement (especially after finding and activating the True Wealth Sector - Zhen Cai Wei) will give us many opportunities to increase our money/financial luck. After the activation, usually opportunities will come in fast.

But it is useless if our Four Pillars cannot contain the money. We will find most of the opportunities are cancelled, or even grabbed by other persons and competitors. And in some cases, we even cannot see the chances although they were right under our nose !

Therefore, a lot of peoples wondering ... why after they did Feng Shui they still unable to see financial improvement.

Both Four Pillars and Feng Shui must be used in conjunction.

Use Feng Shui to improve chances, at the same time balancing our Four Pillars to make sure we are able to seize the opportunities. So by finding auspicious directions based on Four Pillars formula, we are half way through to the road of prosperity

Yes, that will do, of course. We analyze the chart, and placing cures to supress the power of bad stars, so their effect are lesser to us.

But why, for some peoples, the effects of bad stars still can happened ?

And why, for some peoples, after placing enhancers for money/wealth luck, their financial condition did not improve ?

The answer is in Four Pillars

If our Four Pillars is not strong enough, we will still feel some of negative impacts from bad Flying Stars - a small boat still will be shaken by stormy sea.

If our Four Pillars is not strong enough, we cannot transform money/wealth opportunities into real cash in our pockets - a small glass cannot completely contain water poured from a bucket.

So, the precious question will be : how to strengthen our Four Pillars, isn't it ?

And one of the answers is : by finding our auspicious directions based on Four Pillars.

Gua is too simple. Men/women born in a same year have same Gua numbers, in fact they have different Four Pillars. If you use Eight Mansion Gua Theory only, it is like trying to cure many diseases with just one kind of medicine.

Qi Men Dun Jia is another Chinese Metaphysics method (in ancient time it used for military purposes), it calculates specific directions of a time period, so we can use the directions to maximize our success probability in doing certain purpose.

Qi Men Dun Jia is more suitable for those who are mobile.

Not just Water Star 8, it's too general.

Zhen Cai Wei means "True Wealth Sector". It exists in every buildings, so everbody has their chances. It is a special sector with precision, contains living wealth/money energy - ready to be unlocked.

Many Feng Shui practitioners overlooked this method, although in full power it equals the legendary "Five Ghosts Carry Money - Wu Gui Sheng Cai Lai" method (but in requirement and application, it is much more simpler and easier than FGCM).

The true secret of the art for activating Zhen Cai Wei is by knowing how to energize/amplify it, accumulate its energy, then directing its power to us. Without correct application, it's meaningless.

Next ... our Four Pillars must be strong enough, to contain the wealth opportunities given by the activated Zhen Cai Wei. If not ... it will be useless.’

As usual, a song.....

Da Liu Ren II

As a facebook friend, NK have requested to carry on the posting, here I go,

A Case Study

公历:1998年5月8日8时
节气:5月21日14时38分小满
干支:戊寅 丁巳 乙卯 庚辰 
旬空:甲寅旬子丑空    
月将:四月酉将

   朱 蛇 贵 后
   戌 亥 子 丑
  合酉    寅阴
  勾申    卯玄
   未 午 巳 辰
   青 空 虎 常
 
   后 勾 阴 合
   丑 申 寅 酉
   申 卯 酉 乙
 
   兄 甲寅 阴
   财 己未 青
   父  子 贵 ◎

The above chart was done by a Da Liu Ren Master from China, Master Liu. He was just given the year of birth for the subject born in 1950 Geng Yin Year. From the chart, he was able to tell that the person have a son who is studying in a University away from his hometown and a daughter who is short sighted. For the year analysis, he was able to tell that the month before, the subject had got a substantial indirect wealth i.e. from other sources and the following month, he had a car accident and had to compensate the other party.

To construct a DLR chart is actually quite easy and the only thing to memorise is the sequence of the 12 Gods and the lunar calendar of the 24 Jie Qi to position the 12 generals. As you can see there is a chart which looks like a Zi Wei Dou Shu or Purple star astrology chart however with the palace being replaced by different earthly branch i.e. Zi Chou Yin, etc but at different locations here. This is in fact the Heaven Plate which is work out from knowing the month which is the General in charge. Heaven, the Sun meet Earth, the Earth branch position as in a Tai Ji of Two. And as then two gives birth to four, you will find four column as in a bazi chart which is then derived from this Heaven Chart or Plate. This four pillars will then gives birth to the so called Three Pass which is like a trigram of three lines using a system of nine methods to construct. And therefore, four gives birth to eight trigrams and so forth.

Okay, thats about it as an introduction.

Till-then, cheers.

Do You Feng Shui?

Da Liu Ren - An Introduction



It has been agreed by Chinese masters in the old days (so say only, to avoid being lamblast by any QMDJ master on my article, ha-ha..) that Qi Men Dun Jia and Tai Yi Shen Shu were evolved from this art called Da Liu Ren. So here we go,

The so-called Liu Ren, is the 60 Jia Zi days in the Earthly Branches and Heavenly Branches Chart by categorising it to a Six Heavenly Stems of Ren, Heaven Stem Ren, the Ganzhi combination or, so called Liu Ren, Six Water literally as the North is water in the river map or Hetu combination of 1 and 6. That is, Water is the Mother of all things as it gives birth to Life. The Tao or Way of the Tai Ji or Bagua: ‘One gives birth to Two which then gives birth to Four and to Eight and of the Ten of Thousands and the Birth of Life.’, the Essence of Life. The opposite of which is Wu Ji, the Void in Physics.

Liu Ren of Chinese metaphysics, in ancient times is a divination of knowledge, from its creation to now has been for thousands of years old. Its appearance is rooted in the doctrine of Taoism, but later on ancient astronomy, geography, astrology, calendar, legal, and qigong, Chinese medicine and so on science and knowledge on the human body to accommodate the inner soul; form a very complete description of natural variation of periodic motions of the system model, and the blend of yin and yang of eight division, in support of the five elements, as well as a variety of mathematical methods and intution to find the relationships between Heaven, Earth, to adapt to nature and the periodic transformations affecting human beings.

The purpose of nature. Liu Ren's thinking reflects the essence of the contents of the ancient Chinese philosophy and the philosophy of the abstract but concrete, practical theory of Life. In ancient times, Liu Ren is a high-level metaphysical divination,which most people find it hardd to reach and grasp its essence. Aside from its mysterious reason, there is one which is that the contents of the big wide knowledge is too vast, without a teacher and the limited knowledge of astronomy, geography, physics for most of the people to be taught as it is difficult to grasp the essence.

Liu Ren's calculus is in full compliance with the Taoist "Tai Ji two Division/combination, birth of four images/divisions which give births to 8 division/combinations of the Bagua," The process with, Days stems (Heaven plate), Space (Earth plate), Sun (in relation to the 12 earthly branch or positions on Earth), the Moon, 28 constellations, Time, the seasonal cycle of nature which is then the basis for the derived logics of life, with a complete set of mathematical models, all of in which space-time relationship is met, and the nature of birth and death or clashs and growths/production of the elements which is the essence of life. For the positive change of the system/Tai Ji, in order to achieve unity and balance which is the Tao philosophy of Heaven Earth Man will match.

Therefore, when an understanding of the Liu Ren method of divination is achieved, all the mathematical base models of life could be derived through as all other things are included in this method which is ‘ like standing on top of mountains, with the understanding and distance of the whole surrounding picture in full clarity. ‘, a chinese saying.

6 Ren prediction are more difficult, mainly because it is a comprehensive three-dimensional model tool. Although it has a chart category for a given time and space, but there are ten thousand types of chart in this system. After looking up the chart type 60 Heaven stems × 12 branch = 720 kinds/type. And together with other factors, such as 12 generals, 12 gods, into two categories, Earthly Branches/Reverse flow have:720 × 2 (Yin and Yang) × 12 (12 gods) × 12 (12 to) × 122 (Earthly Reversible) = 29859840 kinds of chart-type, about 30 million units of information. This shows that the derived information is so large, which of course the "Book of Changes" cannot match.

to be continued.....

A Love Story



Touch by this posted by a friend on Facebook,

A translation.

The day was the beginning of spring (February 4, 2010), the first day of spring this year to marry her is to be his big day. However when he holds her hand, his beloved was already lying in the coffin in the cold, beside family and friends it would have been tears of laughter and instead turned into crying. Countless times have he dreams of this wedding scene and has finally got his wish, he thought the luxury convertible car and a beautiful wedding bouquets, white wedding dress, but did not know the dream wedding would actually be at the funeral home. They had been separated by Death.

Fuqing groom Zhuanghua Gui is a young man, in Zhangzhou in the advertising industry. In March 2008 met Yan Er who lives in Zhangzhou Pinghe of Lu Yane. That year, he was 24 years old, she was 20 years old. A month later they established a relationship. On December 2, 2009, they registered their marriage, on February 4 this year was to be their wedding day.

However, on January 28, it has become a farewell instead. That day, two robbers on the pretext of renting a property stabs the bride, Yan Er, 8 times with the knife, Yan Er did not wake up from this time for the remaining eight days of her wedding, and she was not only even 22 years old yet. However, at the insistence of the the groom, the wedding is still held on time at the funeral home.

Looks like after putting the word Ba Gua for my links, I' m becoming more and more of a gossip. The word Ba Gua read in chinese means Busybody or Gossip. But at least, I m inspired to blog. Anyway, reminds me of the traditional ghost wedding in the past in feudal China where rich parents buys a bride for their dead sons but this sounds more humane.

Anyway, wonder if they had met a fortune teller, would they had been separated by Death....

Till-then, my condolences to the Bridegroom.

天地通也



Ha-ha, full translation for previous article put on hold, got groggy looking at it. Try to do some part translation here. I had actually thought of carrying on with the posting later however as there was a few response on my facebook by two practitioners with interesting viewpoints and a newbie (we won't know, could also be a hidden dragon) asking some relevant question, I decided to carry on today.


最明显的就是大军阀杨森家的祖坟,是前三运丁山癸向至今已260年,代代出能人与大发之人。现在还有做省军级以上干部的好几人,发财的就更多了,大家知晓的就是“西安杨森制医厂”了.

The writer of the previous article had mentioned an example of a chinese family who had such a property for 260 years and are still flourishing. With some well-known in the military and even more who have got rich. Coincidentally, this property referred to is facing Gui mountain and sitting on Ding Mountain. “西安杨森制医厂” is an existing well-known company owned by that family.

As I have said, its the chinese mentality of lineage of having the male surname to carry on for generations.

For the above, I had checked and find that 260 years ago should be 1750 (age 4), and that the chart for the Ding mountain sitting and Gui mountain facing should be double star 4 at the Back and its Star 1, 4 and 7 robbery. The seven stars robbery chart is either a straight line in the nine palace or a triangle linking three palace in seven steps. In the example above, it is an triangle.

Okay, interestingly, Master He Min Liang from Australia commented that:

七星北斗打劫局,八运只有丑山未向,戓未山丑向才有,条件是中宫要空兼开直线后门。我现时的家宅即是,跑穿三只车胎才揾到。

My reply:

'我现时的家宅即是,跑穿三只车胎才揾到。: )

Ha-ha, I agree on 条件是中宫要空兼开直线后门.

Translation on his viewpoint. 7 stars robbery from Master He Min Liang: For age 8 only Chou sitting and Wei facing or reverse have this chart. Subject to main door can see tru back door.'

I will post a picture as an example. My apologies as I can't answer any questions to that audit for anyone.'

Newbie: 子午可以打吗?
条件是。。。?
88在向为何不见会发。。?
(with several questions)

Sanna Healing(you all should know him from 5arts.net)
:7-Star Robbery is something we avoid in Master Jiang's San Yuan Feng Shui, although it has turned auspicious in Flying Stars.

My reply: Hi Sanna Healing, thanks for the viewpoint from Master Jiang. Anyway, I had posted the discussion for reading purpose and sharing. : ) I won't comment on whether it is right or wrong.

Persistent Newbie:'一排屋子都在山午向,为何有的发有的贫'
'One row of houses with same mountain Wu and facing, why some prosper and some poor?'

Master He: '八运:子山午向,财旺人丁不旺,午山子向更不好,财败丁旺,自身不保,谈何打劫。若论玄空北斗七星打劫的风水局,八运为艮卦,旺气不入地坐根,讲都是虚。我只认为:八运只有丑山未向,未向丑山,才是真的北斗打劫风水局。向首二五八,中官二五八,座山二五八,七运打劫一四七,八运打劫二五八。如果讲年年都很旺我就不是如此说了,只可以讲04年真的很旺,现金遍地,是人都发。以伦各年平平而巳'

'Age 8: Zi mountain and Wu facing, good for wealth but not health. Wu mountain and Zi facing worse, bad for wealth and good for health but unable to take care of himself (probably refering to money problems can leads to health problems too), how to say robbery. If discussing Xuan Kong North Dipper 7 stars robbery charts. Age 8 is Gen Gua , Sheng Qi if not in the connected palace, it is false. I feel that Age 8 only have Chou Mountain Wei Facing or vice versa. Facing palace have star 2, 5, and 8, central palace star 2, 5 and 8 and sitting palace have star 2, 5, and 8, Age 7, robbery star 1,4,and 7. Age 8, star 2, 5 and 8. If say every year also powerful and as I have say before, can say 2004 very prosperous because of the economy doing well, anybody also can be prosperous, the rest average only.'

Anyway, I had call it Seven Stars Robbery, Honor and Prosperity or Wealth for Three generations as it also reminds me of a case study where the chart is that of Chou Facing for Age 8. The owners were at that time facing a lot of financial difficulties and have a daughter only. After activation for fengshui, the 38 years old wife gave birth to a son within that year. At that time, they had just hoped to tide over their financial difficulties. They were surprised instead that they got a son instead and were still in debts. Today, two years later, they managed to buy their own property and literally have gone debt free. I was invited to do an audit on their new property which again have this 7 stars robbery chart but now facing Zi instead with double star 8 at the sitting at Wu. The chinese concept of 三代 actually refer to having a male child to carry on the lineage and which I have felt more appropriate for my this case instead of three period no defeat, 三元不败.

I had just done the fengshui of their new house two months ago based on seven stars robbery with double 8 stars at the sitting and triangle instead of a straight line.And they are doing even better now, not much but making about M$15,000 a month. When I first saw them in their old house (Age 7), .........

'先看金龍動不動' is one of the secret in activating this chart. Translation: 'First see whether the Golden Dragon moves or not.'

Till-then, cheers.
