How come the richest people are not Feng Shui masters? Part II

(Continue from previous article)
Classic Feng Shui Model

Returning to the original questions:

"What is Feng Shui for?"
Feng Shui is simply the knowledge of site selection and harmonious living and interaction between inhabitants and their natural environment.  Enhancing luck, wealth and etc. are NOT the original objectives of Feng Shui.  Increases in wealth and prosperity are "by-products" of stable living environment that shields its residents from  the elements and provides steady supply of living essentials like water and vegetation.  Feng Shui is similar to the modern "Human Geography"-- " the study of the interaction between human beings and their environment in particular places and across spatial areas." (Dictionary.com)  

How much "weight" or importance is Feng Shui in one's destiny?

According to Yi-jing, the five most important determinants of an individual's destiny are:
  1. Fate (一命, ming)-- what one was born with, hard to change
  2. Luck (二运, luck)-- what one was born with with limited degree of flexibility
  3. Feng Shui  (三风水)-- one's living and social environment
  4. Accumulation of good deeds (四积阴德, yin-de)
  5. Formal Study (五读书)-- go to school  

2017 Auspicious Wealth Symbols
From the above list, you can see luck and fate have more influence than Feng Shui.  More often than not, I found people with bad luck also have bad Feng Shui synchronized with it.

This is easy to explain as when one is in good luck, one will have strong energy or qi-field that can block off or reduce the effect of negative energy caused by variables like Feng Shui or Bazi.   One's energy will be weaken during a bad luck period.  Existing negative forces, including spiritual ones, can take advantage of the weaken state of the individual and attack.  This is why sometimes we feel "Blessing does not come in multiples and misfortune does not come alone". 

"Could Feng Shui help us during our bad luck periods?"
It all depends on the nature of your "bad luck"-- whether it is karma-related or simply "system design" (destiny).  Assuming it is not karma-related, then Feng Shui at least keeps you physically healthy or "sane". 

"If our luck periods are good, we don't need Feng Shui.  Isn't this correct?
Yes, this is my little secret with you.  However, people are likely to think their good luck lasts forever and are caught unprepared when bad luck strikes.

"So, if this is the case, then why do we bother with Feng Shui at all?" "If our luck periods are good, we don't need Feng Shui.  Isn't this correct?
You still need Feng Shui because no one has good luck periods forever.  No place has good Feng Shui forever too.

“If a client is in bad wealth luck period and requests wealth enhancement, the practitioner cannot do much with Feng Shui.”  Why?
To understand this statement, you need to know what causes "bad wealth luck" in Bazi.  It is likely either problem of strong peer stars (bi-jie) for strong daymaster or strong wealth stars (cai) for weak daymaster.  Enhancing wealth during a bad wealth luck period may cause more losses.

《易经》云:一命二运三风水,四积阴德五读书,六名七相八敬神,九交贵人十养生。这十大方面基本上涵盖了命理所关注的问题。

为什么有的人能力一般却一帆风顺,飞黄腾达,有的人非常能干却穷困潦倒,落魄一生?为什么有时你不经意就能获得很好的结果,有时你费尽心机却落得一场空?今天三道风水研究院与大家探讨这句话的内涵与真谛。

【一命】

孔子说:〝不知命无以为君子〞,这里的〝命〞指的就是先天之命。

芸芸众生,各司其命,顺乎自己的天命去行动,才能顺水推舟,获得不错的结果。顺命,首选要知命,弄懂八字命盘的原理,知晓天干地支,阴阳五行所随载的资讯。每个人的先天造化不尽相同,时间和空间决定了人的命理,时间转变,空间转换,天体运转,人的生理状况和命理走势就会有潜移默化的改变。

地球上不同的地区,不同时间出生的人们,其性格,命是不尽相同的。更不要说遗传基因,民族特性等细微的差别。即使是相差几分钟出生的双胞胎,其性格命运也不同的,天赋的不同,导致了不同的性格特征,生活方式,价值观念,承受能力。

【二运】

先天的命,后天是运。俗话说〝命好不如运好〞,好是强调〝运〞的重要性。

人的天命已定,惟一能好好把握的便是自己的〝运〞。什么是运?如果比作是车的话,运就是路;如果把命比较是舟的话,运就是水。按照周易命理学的说法,不同的命在后天交运的情况下不相同,所谓〝十年一大运,五年一小运〞。

了解人生运势有助于我们等待机缘。旺运时积极奋进,衰运时退避三舍。时代作为我们生存的大环境,它的不断更新也是天意。同样的命在不同的时代会有着不同的运。我们要根据时空来左右自己的运程。或进或退。归根结底,对于后天之运,〝顺水者昌,逆之者亡〞。

【三风水】

地吉苗旺,宅吉人旺。俗话说〝地灵人杰〞,一方好水土,养育一方好人才。

个人生存的环境,影响其一生的健康与发展。在黄帝建城时,就有〝察其阴阳,观其向背〞的说法。风水学主张〝明堂平旷,万象森罗;众水朝归,诸山聚会,草盛木繁,水深土厚〞。

纵观中国历史,领袖或富豪多生于依山面水,藏风聚气,风景秀丽之地。得以禀赋天地之灵气。近水者多智慧,靠山者多道义。苏南多文才,江北多政要,客观地说,风水对人的影响确实很大。

家居风水的地理位置,房屋的形状结构,通风采光,家居摆设,装饰颜色等因素,都与个人的运势息息相关,古人讲〝三元九运〞,二十年吉凶方位变化一次,六十年风水轮流转,是为一大周期。住宅的好坏,直接影响一个家庭的运势发展,这也是古人的研究风水学的主要原因。

【四积阴德

中国人都听说过这样一句话:〝善有善报,恶有恶报。不是不报,时辰未到。〞这句话表达的是一种因果循环,报应不爽的善恶法则。

〝因果〞,〝报应〞等概念都是来源于佛教,它和传统士夫所提倡的〝慎独〞品质不谋而合。用功德换取回报是天经地义的,不可违背的事。天与不受,反受其谴。对社会的贡献叫功德;多做贡献,多做好事叫积德;暗中做好事而不图回报叫积阴德。如果你的本职工作正面作用大,功劳大,你做的好事多,相应的回报就越大,命运会因此越来越好。
