Grand Duke Remedy for Year 2011

The Year of  Rabbit will start on Spring Solstice (Li-chun) or Feb. 4.  According to Chinese custom, a new ruler of the year, or Grand Duke (Tai-sui) will come for each year. For 2011 or Xin-mao (metal-rabbit) year, the Grand Duke is General Fan Ning.

For 2011, Grand Duke sits on Mao mountain or the East (E2). If your house faces E2, it is considered "clashing Grand Duke". The residents may face accidents, obstacles or losing wealth. The cure is minimizing movements in the facing and put a Grand Duke talisman (see samples here) facing E2.

On the other hand, if your house sits on Mao mountain, it is considered having the support of Grand Duke. The tenants will do better in business ventures and competition. Historically speaking, countries at war with Grand Duke at their back are likely to win. But if your house or office does not sit on Mao mountain, you may use a Grand Duke Talisman at your back side as support (not recommended for people clashing GD for the current year).

In terms of individuals, people who have something to do with current year's Grand Duke are generally considered "violating Grand Duke". This "violation" can be distinguished in 3 ways:

1. People who have the same animal sign as the Grand Duke are considered "on duty" or "zhi 植" with Grand Duke. For 2011 , people who were born in rabbit years (1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999) are "on duty" with Grand Duke. The symptoms will be minor sickness, emotionally imbalanced and minor misfortunes.

2. People whose animal sign clashes the Grand Duke are "chong" or clash Grand Duke. For 2010, people with rooster animal sign (born 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993) are clashing Grand Duke for the year. This is the most serious Grand Duke violation that may cause:
-- career changes (promotion or demotion)
-- moving
-- frequent travels
-- major monetary losses or bankruptcy
-- death in the family
-- major sickness/ surgery
-- accident or death


3. People who have animal sign that "penalizes" Grand Duke. For 2011, people who have rat (zi) animal sign (born 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996) penalize Grand Duke. Normally, penalizing is less severe than clashing Grand Duke. However, zi-mao penalty is one of the infamous "Three Penalties"in Bazi or 4-Pillars of Destiny.  This becomes more a Bazi problem than Grand Duke violation.  Zi-mao penalty normally jinxes the close relatives of the person involved.

One way to cure Grand Duke violation is to carry the Grand Duke talisman shown here. However, a mere reproduction of this talisman does not have the divine energy to fix the problem. A talisman needs to be "activated" or "benedicted" by a Daoist teacher or priest to be effective. A benediction alone easily costs US$60. Here is the special offer-- for a donation of US$30 to the charitable organization listed below (or any of your local legitimate charity), I will send you an individually benedicted and empowered Grand Duke Talisman. You simply forward me the email acknowledgment of your donation (or scanned image of the donation receipt).  No money will go through me. You send the donation DIRECTLY to the charity.  Your donation must be dated on or after Dec.1, 2010 to qualify.  I will pay the postage for sending the talisman to you.

The followings are some suggested charities:


http://www.supportunicef.org/

http://www.savethechildren.org/

http://www.redcross.org/
American Red Cross (you may donate to your local Red Cross)

To calculate the equivalent of US$30 to your local currency:

MORE SPECIAL OFFER:

If you need more than one Grand Duke Talismans, here is the discount schedule:
--one talisman US$30 donation  (US$5 if you are unemployed)
--two talismans US$50 donation  ($10 if unemployed)
--three talismans US$60 donation ($15 if unemployed)

Talisman that is grounded with a charity event works more effectively because it has an exchange of one type of energy to protection energy.

Please forward your donation receipt with the talisman recipient name and address to:
kenlai88@yahoo.com

HERE ARE THE CONTENTS OF THE GRAND DUKE TALISMAN
This unique talisman is custom-made and invokes many powerful deities for protection and blessing. You cannot buy it anywhere. Each talisman is individually activated, blessed and stamped with the red seal of the ultimate powerful Daoist deity. It is further blessed with your name and address (or city/ country). Here are the inscriptions inside the talisman:

Minimal Feng Shui Guide for the Year of Rabbit (2011)

The annual chart for 2011 is: (top is south, bottom is north)

6  2  4
5  7  9
1  3  8 


Annual chart is based on Purple White Method which holds that 1,6, and 9 star locations are auspicious. 2-black sickness and 5-yellow disaster star locations are inauspicious.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS:

Grand Duke is at Mao mountain or E2-- avoid construction or digging.

Sui Po or year-breaker is at You mountain or W2-- avoid construction or digging.

San Sha or 3-killings are at Shen, You and Xu mountains or SW3, W2, NW1-- avoid construction or digging.

5-yellow disaster star at Zhen palace (E)- avoid construction or digging and movements. Grand Duke sits in Zhen palace with 5-yellow-- definitely be very careful when you do constructions and movement here (and avoid going East!)! Also if your house is facing Mao mountain (E2), you may want to put a Grand Duke Talisman there for protection (see my next upcoming message on how to get one).

5-tiger sha at Xu, Hai and Qian mountains or NW1, NW3, NW2-- avoid construction or digging and movements.

Yang nobleman sign for this year is Yin (tiger).  Yin nobleman is Wu (horse).

You need to do a good date-selection if you need to do construction in any of the above locations (mountains/ palace) or better doing it before end of the current year (tiger year).

If your front door is in Mao mountain where Grand Duke resides, you get a major problem with the normal metal fix for the annual 5-yellow star there (metal and wood battling).  Hire a competent Feng Shui practitioner to fix it for you.

People with rooster and rabbit zodiac sign should avoid seeing putting corpse in coffin or burial for this year.

Merry X’mas!

Feng Shui Secrets

The adage "Blessed land is resided by blessed people" ( 福地福人居) is well-known in Feng Shui circle.  It implies "blessed land" is invariably resided by "blessed people".  "Blessed land" means land with good Feng Shui.  "Blessed people" refers to two categories of people-- virtuous people with good luck or people who are currently in good luck.

The same adage with the subject and object reversed becomes "Blessed people reside in blessed land" ( 福人居福地).  The meaning differs greatly.  Here "blessed people" means strictly virtuous people.  The land in "blessed land" becomes "blessed" because "blessed people" reside on it.  In other words, blessed people influence or nurture the Feng Shui of the land on which they reside.

Most of the time, Feng Shui people over-emphasize the influence of Feng Shui (land) over residents and neglect that residents can also influence Feng Shui of the land energetically (spiritually) and physically.

I have written before about when to fire your Feng Shui master (when someone is in good luck period).  Here you may add if someone is virtuous or with strong positive energy (if you can sense energy), s/he can pick a house without the help a Feng Shui master.

In reality, most of us are neither "virtuous" nor always in good luck.  So you may want to find a house with good Feng Shui to nurture you or enhance your personal qi (energy).  Alternatively, you may take my "Destiny and Luck Management course" to enhance your luck energy with 4P and Feng Shui techniques.  With higher luck energy, you may improve your house hunting luck and other luck in general.

Can we change our destiny and luck?

"Can we change our destiny and luck?"

The answer to this question will depend on who you ask. Motivational gurus may tell you to be a fire-walker to "rewire" your convoluted brain.  "Think positive" people may tell you to "think and get it!"  Religious people may tell you to "repent your sins" or do charity works.... All these may have a certain degree of validity in changing one's destiny and luck.

This question arouses my curiosity because of my 4P (Bazi) clients. They always ask if anything could be done to upcoming disasters/misfortunes as predicted by their 4P charts.

Traditional Bazi does not have much on misfortune or luck management tips other than advising you to sit tight, avoid taking risk/ traveling during a "low luck" period and "go all the way" when luck is on the upswing. 

Instead of waiting passively for our fate, are there any methods that can actively “manage” the inherent problems of our 4P charts and the ups and downs of our luck periods? This bring us back to the original question-- "Can we change our destiny and luck?" 

Yours truly me is not satisfied with the one-dimensional explanations of the motivational and positive-thinking gurus nor the morality-laden explanations of the religious folks. We have seen many motivated or "positive-minded" people failed and unmotivated people built "accidental empires".  We have also seen many benevolent people suffered or died tragically and mean people live to 100.  All these point to one aspect--- people have different "luck" or "yun" as in Chinese.  Luck may be independent or just loosely related to motivation/ intention and morality.

According to Merriam-Webster online dictionary, luck is "a force that brings good fortune or adversity" or " the events or circumstances that operate for or against an individual".  In other words, luck is also a form of energy. 

One of the biggest questions in Bazi is: do people with the same birthday and hour share the same destiny? According to statistics, there are 200 babies born every minute around the world.  Will the babies born in the same minute have the same life chances or destiny?  The answer is pretty obvious or we should have 200 President Obama or Bush.

The possible answer to this Bazi question of whether people with the same birth chart share the same destiny indirectly answers our question of "Can we change our destiny and luck?"  

I have researched this question for five years and isolated the factors giving rises to different destiny for people with the same birth charts.  These factors are also the ones that affect people's luck energy.  By manipulating factors that can affect these luck energies, we can change our luck and destiny to a certain extent.

The results of this 5-years research and testing are the "Destiny and Luck Management" course series.  The first two courses are available now with special promotional prices (please check kenlaifengshui.com for details).  Below is some highlights.  You may email me at kenlai88@yahoo.com for a 25 pages PDF file with "Table of Contents" of the manuals, DVD menus and screen captures.

Zen chat

Ken says:
I wonder all these thought drives energy things-- how long will the effect last?

Guru says: 
Depends on the quality of the thought
I am more interested in the space beyond thought
There is a deeper energy in the emptiness
A few have hinted at it now, both eastern and western masters
I cannot claim to fully understand it

Ken says:
Emptiness is the tai-ji
Maybe the predecessor of tai-ji--- wu ji
Science calls it black hole
 (note:  tai-ji is the yin-yang symbol in Chinese cosmology. It evolves from wu-ji or void.)

Guru says:
 It is the predecessor
 But this is what they mean when they say the emptiness is not empty
 There is a kind of energy associated with it
 And this seems to generate thought
 At least this is my rough understanding at this point

Ken says:
Let you figure it out and tell me
hahaha

Guru says:
Working on it
It seems I have received the highest empowerment possible in Buddhism without even knowing it.

Ken says:
Can you fly yet?
hahaha

Guru says:
Not yet
I'll let you know

Ken says:
OK
I'll tell you if I fly first
Likely that will happen first
I will die before you

Guru says:
 LOL

"Will trade a kidney for plastic surgery"

 I come across a news report from China with the following heading:

"An extreme ugly Xu-zhou girl wants to sell a kidney for plastic surgery" ( 太醜徐州姑娘擬賣腎整容)
 " Miss Wu-qian (pseudonym) of Jian-su province, a 25 years old Xu-zhou girl, considers her face look  too ugly.  She decides going to Nanjing to sell a kidney for plastic surgery.  Hopefully the operation will change her destiny." (江蘇徐州25歲姑娘吳倩(化名)因自認為相貌過於醜陋,她決定到南京賣腎整容,希望藉此改變命運.)

Miss Wu has complained that she was lost to a pretty job applicant with a potential employer.  The employer even said in front of Wu to the other applicant, "Pretty! You are hired."

Miss Wu apparently does not know organ-selling is illegal in China.  Other than her extreme financing, her reasoning is quite common in both  western and eastern societies.  Improving your physical looks or attraction with bigger boobs, whiter teeth, nose, hips and the likes, will improve your chances in life to get the jobs desired or a rich spouse.  In other words, improve your luck or destiny.

There is some validity on better physical appearance helps attracting opportunities.  But it is not absolute.  There are pretty or handsome people who do not get what they want in life too.  Why?  Everyone is born with different luck cycles!    One may go no where when his/her luck is low.  An ugly person may still get whatever he wants if his luck is on the high side.

Take Miss Wu for example, assuming she got her plastic surgery done,  looks pretty and goes for a job interview.  She may still get rejected for reason like "she is too pretty" because employer's wife worry about potential affair.    This may happen if Miss Wu's current luck is low.

In other words, people should check their current luck cycle before investing in expensive plastic surgery, "think positive" seminars, spiritual retreats, sweat lodge ceremony... and the like.

How do people check their luck cycle?  You may consult a Bazi or 4-Pillars reader or take my Destiny Management courses.  If whatever you do now turns against you and everything goes the other way, chances are your current luck is low.  You should avoid making major decisions and purchases during a low luck period.  However, this is a passive approach to handle low luck.  An active approach is taking the Destiny Management courses.  It helps you to predict both your good and bad luck periods.  It also shows you how to avoid misfortune, enhance your luck and create opportunities with inexpensive items and everyday objects.

Destiny Management Courses Pre-release Special Offers

The following pictures show the table of contents and descriptions of Destiny Management Based on Bazi -- Basic and Advanced Levels.  You may click on the picture to see a bigger image.  Each level has at least 10 hours of video instructions.  These 2 courses can change your life and can be a "Helping Business in a box" to generate revenue for you.  Please check for pre-release order specials below.

 




Unlike other metaphysics courses that you may have taken so far, the Destiny Management series empowers you to think how to make your life or your client's life better or at least less crappy. It is a practice-oriented course with all the business forms and templates for someone like you to run it as a "helping business".

These two courses can be seen as "applied 4P" that empowers people to take charge of their destiny and refuse to be the pawns of the Gods or slave of destiny.

This course was first taught in Mexico City in 2008 with only a 15 pages manual.  Now it grows to over 300 pages with 3 manuals and 20 hours (estimated) of video.

SPECIAL PRE-RELEASE OFFERS:  (offers expired Sept. 12, 2010)
We are doing video portion of these two course and will be finished in 6- 8 weeks.  We offer these incredible pre-release offers for a very limited time only.  It will not be offered again if you miss this golden opportunity  (In 2007, we had pre-release offer for  "Practical Imperial QMDJ" video course for $200 and now the same course sells for $999 and still sells well).  

Tuition fee per course is US$ 999, plus $30 shipping for outside USA and $15 for within.
Both courses will cost US$1998 plus $30 shipping (you only pay shipping once when shipped together)

Here are the two pre-order specials:  (subject to quantity requirement, all pre-orders will be canceled if there are not enough takers).

OFFER #1:  40% off US$1998 with US$500 down pre-order and pay the balance when courses are ready to ship ($100 cancellation fee if order is canceled for any reason).

OFFER #2:  40% off US$1998 with full payment pre-order ($100 cancellation fee if order is canceled for any reason).  This option gives you an additional bonus of a $720 (retail value) worth of remedy sampler (24 items).  This is like paying $500 for both courses.

Sorry, there is no special offer for ordering just one course.

Note:  Discount does not include shipping.  You do not need to buy remedial products or cures from me if you want to.  The course will show you how to create your own.  Estimated delivery time is 6- 8 weeks after receiving payment.

However, DO NOT SEND MONEY until we have asked you to.   You have until the end of next Sunday (Minnesota time, Sept. 12, 2010) to place your pre-order.  Please email to kenlai88@yahoo.com for your order.

If there are not enough takers, the release date will be pushed until live class is taught.

Thank you for reading this announcement.

Should you lose sleep over the month of "triple afflictions"?

A metaphysics marketing website has done an email blitz promoting the "month of triple afflictions" as if it is worse than the upcoming 2012 end of the world prophecy.  Some people are scared, especially when they find out that there is a fourth affliction.

The fourth affliction is the damage to your wallet if you follow the suggestions of this website to purchase US$2000 or more worth of mantra plague, talisman pendant, pagoda and the like to fix the first three afflictions. 

Should we be very afraid?  Should we lose any sleep thinking about these "triple afflictions"? Should we shell out 2 grands to fix the problem?

TRIPLE AFFLICTIONS EXPOSED
1.  Year and month pillar fan-yin or clashing
This mean the year energy and month energy battling each other.  Current year is metal-tiger (Geng-yin) and month is wood-monkey (Jia-shen, the 7th lunar or solar month) .  This is primarily fighting between metal and wood energies-- a sign for more traffic accidents and injuries by metal objects.  A simple cure is to drive careful and avoid traveling. You may do spiritual cure by carrying a relic, rosary, cross, talisman and the like. This 7th lunar month starts from August 10 to Sept. 7 (Aug. 7- Sept.7 for solar month) .

2.   5-yellow star sits in the center palace 
When 5-yellow star returns to the center palace, it is called "return to the original position of the star's palace" or 回宫歸位 huí gōng guī wèi.  It is like a re-initialization in computer jargons or return to the original formation of the post-heaven bagua. This happens once every 9 months!  Will a star make havoc in its own backyard?  This condition at most makes energy stagnant or not moving. Every star returns to its hometown and takes it easy for one month.

3.  The 7th lunar month is ghost month
The idea of "ghost month" is largely a Daoist conception or Chinese belief. If you do not believe in it or have never heard about it, it will have little or no effect on you.   It is just like Chinese New Year is no big deal to westerners but is celebrated by Chinese.  If you are Chinese or scared, you can print out the talisman picture in this blog, activate it with a donation to your local temple, church, foodshelf or simply doing an act of kindness, and carry it around with you.  You may also burn some joss papers and make offerings to hungry ghosts if you want to.

Most people (except a small group list below) should not worry about this so-called "triple afflictions", especially for those who are righteous and have done nothing "bad" or evil. By the law of attraction, negative energies and entities will be attracted to people with negative energies. 

DATES AND TIME THAT YOU SHOULD WORRY! 
Year pillar and month pillar clash may cause more "concern" to people with snake (si) animal sign or people with snake day branch in their birth charts.  These people are more "accident-prone" than the others due to the formation of "3-penalties" (yin-si-shen) with the year and month pillar. Simple fix is to minimize traveling or driving within this month (please refer to #1 above).

For everyone, within the 7th lunar month, avoid using snake or si hour (9:00- 10:59) to make major decisions and traveling. This hour forms a 3-penalty with year and month pillar EVERYDAY for this lunar month.

The following days are especially prone to accident regardless of the hour(especially for people with monkey, tiger and snake animal signs):

-- August 11 (gui-si)
-- August 23 (yi-si)
-- September 4 (ding-si)

During these 3 days, 3:00-4:59, 9:00- 10:59 and 15:00- 16:59 are the worst hours. People with tiger, snake or monkey signs will be better off to take a day off and stay home if possible. If not, be extra vigilant when driving and traveling.  You may do spiritual cure by carrying a relic, rosary, cross, talisman and the like. The most powerful remedies are doing charity works like blood, food and money donations to the poor and needy.

Do you still want to spend US$2000 or more to purchase the "cures"?

FIGHTING-SHA OR AVOIDING SHA?

Note:  The following article was written for a Toronto FS group newsletter in 2005.

In the last one or two years, Xuan Kong Da Gua (XKDG) becomes the latest craze on the Feng Shui training circuit. Or in more blunt terms, it adds 2 or more courses to the inventory of Feng Shui trainers.

Info or “secrets" about Flying Star are abundant in published sources.  XKDG, info, however, is not as readily available. 

In Hong Kong, a famous writer charges as much as HK$150k (CAD$23k) to teach you XKDG. In Taiwan, charges from US$5000 to NT$1M (CAD$39k) are not unheard of.

In 2000, Master X of Taiwan starts to publish a series of XKDG books, so it is no coincidence that XKDG begins surfacing in the west after 2000. Before Master X, GM Chan Pui San, the founder of Miao Pai XKDG, (Hong Kong) has published some info on XKDG. I can tell Master X’s books are based on GM Chan’s books.  But Master X is a better writer and good at explaining complicated concepts.

Miao Pai XKDG is known for its “sha-fighting” to enhance wealth luck.  Master X also has his own version of sha-fighting method.

In the early 90’s, GM Chan has released a major XKDG secret-- “in-gua and out-of-gua” to explain why a person suffers in a house while another prospers in the same house, or why some houses have ugly mountains/ water but do not shown any negative effects.

The probability of being “out-of-gua” (not getting the blessing or negative effects) is about 1/3. 

The cornerstone of Master X’s fight-sha Feng Shui is this “in-gua and out-of-gua” theory.  Most of his cases examples shown in his books are for business located in the top side of a T-junction or cross-junction.

The formula is pretty simple, by orientating the door to face the sha (like rushing qi/ traffic) at an “out-of-gua” angle with a good XKDG date-selection, Master X claims this will convert sha energy to work wonder for the owner.

By putting the door in an “out-of-gua” angle, so the sha cannot have effect of the property— doesn’t this sound like “sha avoidance”?


From a common sense point of view, business likes exposure.  With junctions there are normally stop signs or traffic light too. By setting a business on a cross-junction or T-junction with an angled door that faces the most directions, it maximizes exposure of the business to traffic.

Can this become a “self-fulfilling prophecy”?  Will the business be just as prosperous without doing this fight-sha Feng Shui? 

If you go to downtown Toronto, businesses with angled doors at a cross-junction are found almost in every block.

Finally, I would like to give you a reminder about Master X’s books. He told his students that he had purposely set missing links and traps in his books, so he can tell if someone is teaching from his books or from someone who has taken his live class. I know Master X’s sifu and he does not fight-sha.

Postscript 2010Lately there are noises about claims of  "sha-fighting".  Now you know how this got started.  My Taiwan sifu had studied with GM Chan Pui San (now almost 90 years old).  He told us "do not fight sha" unless your life is worthless. You don't know the long term effects of sha-fighting and you don't want to do experiments with the lives of your clients.
