2021 Grand Duke Talisman Charity Drive

This post is based on my past posts about "Grand Duke Talisman charity drive" with updates for 2021.

If you have read my old message about functions of Grand Duke, you know that there are two Grand Dukes watching over your shoulder, counting the good and bad deeds that you have done and executing rewards and misfortunes accordingly.  When your talisman is grounded with a charitable deed, GD is less likely to execute any misfortunes due from your karma account. The rationale for donation is exchange of energy-- using a charitable deed in exchange of protection energy from Grand Duke.

2021 GRAND DUKE GENERAL YANG XIN  辛丑太岁杨信   
2021 is Xin-chou or year of metal-ox. Grand Duke for the year is General Yang Xin who was a civil officer in Han Dynasty (206 B.C .to - 220 A.D.).  Yang was venerated for defending the dignity of the Han Government when he was a special envoy to the Huns  (Xiongnu匈奴) in 116 B.C .
2021辛丑牛年,当值太岁的形象是杨信,汉时生于陕地(今陕西省一带)。生卒不详。元鼎年间(公元前116-公元前111年),杨信一代文臣,出使匈奴。刚强正直,不屈不挠,留下美名。

GRAND DUKE TALISMAN FOR FENG SHUI REMEDY
If your house faces Chou mountain or NE1 direction, you need to put up a Grand Duke talisman facing that direction and avoid construction, earth-digging and demolition there.

If your desk or wherever you sit for an extended time faces Chou mountain or NE1 direction, you can put up a Grand Duke talisman there for protection.  It is not auspicious to face the Grand Duke direction.  It weakens your competition power in business/career and examinations.  However, if you arrange your seat so that NE1 will be at your back (and put a Grand Duke talisman there), you will get Grand Duke as support and is good for competition and business.

House violating Grand Duke
In 2021 Xin-chou year, if your house faces chou-ox mountain or NE1 (22.5 to 37.5 degree) direction, your house is said to be "violating Grand Duke."  House violating GD will affect the overall luck, health and well-being of the people living inside.  The remedy is either avoiding movements, construction, earth-digging and demolition there or put up a Grand Duke talisman facing NE1 direction.  The opposite side of Grand Duke is Year-breaker (Sui-po, SW1 or wei mountain).  This location should avoid digging and activities too. 

Even with the GD talisman, if you need to do construction, you still need to do a date-selection for an auspicious date and start digging on a non-GD direction and finish last on the GD direction. 

Desk violating Grand Duke 
If your desk or wherever you sit for an extended time faces chou-rat mountain or NE1 direction, you can put up a Grand Duke talisman there for protection.  It is not auspicious to face the Grand Duke direction.  It weakens your competition power in business/career and examinations. However, if you arrange your seat so that NE1 will be at your back (and put a Grand Duke talisman there), you will get Grand Duke as support and is good for competition and business. 

GRAND DUKE TALISMAN OFFERS
This year we use digital delivery of Grand Duke Talismans because "snail mail" is slow and prone to losses.  Ken Lai will create a GD Talisman with user name, city and country imprinted, blessed and "activated" individually on screen digitally.  This unique activated GD file will be emailed to you.  You can print as many copies as you want (but for one unique-named person only).  In this way, you can replace soiled or damaged talismans.  You can carry one talisman in your wallet and post one in your home and/or office for Feng Shui remedy.  You get more "mileage" from a single donation this way.
Below are some charities that you can send your donation to.  But you can always support your local charities like food-shelf or soup kitchens, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
  • homeless shelter
  • Save-the-Children (www.savethechildren.org) 
  • UNICEF (United Nation Children's Fund)
  • Smile Train (www.smiletrain.org) 
  • children hospital
  • food shelves/soup kitchen
  • Red Cross
  • animal shelter/ humane society
  • Doctors without border (https://donate.doctorswithoutborders.org/onetime.cfm) 
  • Your local COVID-19 pandemic charity.
Donation made to help alleviate an urgent human/ animal need or suffering (e.g., feeding the hungry, tornado/ typhoon victims or homeless) gets you more karma credits than donation for public good or improvement of public life like church/ temple or public radio/TV.

If you are worried about privacy issues and future solicitations-- please be assured that no future solicitation or email will be sent to you in the future. You send me NO money. You send your donation directly to your favorite local or international charity.  No purchase involved.  This offer is for people who have no access to Daoist temples.  Please support your local temple if you have access to one.

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/under-employed)

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