How to detect "compassionate appearance with a vicious heart" 面慈心恶與面恶心慈

It is not unusual that we run into someone who sounds and looks kind but is as venomous as a snake in reality.  We may also encounter the least expected critical help from people whom we had thought nasty and unkind.  In Chinese, these scenarios are called "compassionate appearance with a vicious heart 面慈心恶" and "vicious appearance with a compassionate heart 面恶心慈".

Do you want a magic magnifying glass that can uncover quickly the real or inner personality of a person?

Today is your ultra-lucky day to get this magic magnifier from my Bazi school.  It may save you from disappointments and damages by befriending the "real" kind people.

The contents below are borrowed from my "Enhancing Luck and Mitigating Misfortune with Bazi and Feng Shui" course.

 "10-GODS": ZHENG-SHEN AND PIAN-SHEN 

The 10 transformation stars ("10-gods") by themselves are neither positive nor negative. They become value-laden when interact with other stars within a natal chart.  However, even without doing a formal calculation of favorable or unfavorable element for a chart, the first quick glimpse of the number of certain stars or “gods” will give you a general idea of the personality and personal characteristics of the chart owner.  

This is done by classifying 10-transformation stars into two groups:  zheng-shen and pian-shen.  They literally mean normal and deviated “gods”.

ZHENG-SHEN  正神

The word “zheng” means standard, normal, formal, rightful and righteous.  “Shen” means "god" or transformation star in this context.  Zheng-shen here refers to the group of transformation stars (“10 Gods”)  that are usually perceived as positive in the chart.  Here are the zheng-shen:

•  Zheng-yin (+resource)
•  Zheng-guan (+power)
•  Zheng-cai (+wealth)
• Shi-shen (-output)
• Pian-cai (-wealth)
• Bi-jian (-peer)

Please note that zheng-shen is based on the perceived positive value of the star and has little or nothing to do with the polarity (yin or yang) of the star.

 PIAN-SHEN 偏神

The word “pian” means non-regular, deviated, side-tracked, unofficial, informal, non-standard and illicit.  It has a taint of negativity.  Pian-shen here refers to the group of transformation stars that are usually perceived as negative in a chart.  Here are the pian-shen:

• Jie-cai (+peer) 
• Shang-guan (+output) 
• Qi-sha (-power)  
• Pian-yin (-resource) 

BAZI PERSONALITY MAGNIFIER

Below are the steps to figure out the inner personality of a person:

1.  Get the birthday of your target person and generate a Bazi natal chart.

2.  Check the number of zheng-shen and pian-shen (10-gods) in stem level (Are there more zheng-shen than pian-shen stars or vice versa?)

3.  Check the number of zheng-shen and pian-shen (10-gods) in branch level.

Interpretations:

1.  Stem level has mostly zheng-shen and branch level mostly pian-shen: this person has a "compassionate appearance with a vicious heart 面慈心恶"

2.  Stem level has mostly pian-shen and branch level mostly zheng-shen:  this person has a "vicious appearance with a compassionate heart 面恶心慈"

3.  Stem level has mostly zheng-shen and branch level mostly zheng-shen: this person is an authentic person with both "compassionate appearance and heart 面慈心慈"

4.  Stem level has mostly pian-shen and branch level mostly pian-shen:  this person is a real "bad" person who has "vicious appearance with a vicious heart 面恶心恶"

The theory behind this method:  Stem level represents external attributes of a person that are visible to the public.  Branch level stands for internal attributes that are hidden and not visible outside.

Life is priceless-- including a rat's life

YouTuber "Guitar Singapore Travels" has posted a video about a Hong Kong democracy protestor trying to save a tear-gassed street rat on Nov. 4, 2019.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puB4aE0xSLc&feature=youtu.be
 
"Perhaps the rat had taken in too much tear gas?? Welcome to Hong Kong in November 2019, where protestors try to resuscitate street rats!!" The introduction posted by the YouTuber.

This video was reposted in the "Pet Section" of the linhkg.com forum. It has drawn some interesting comments listed below:

"Young people are really kind"
年輕人真係好善良

"Very sad....
Actually, besides rodents, tear gas also affects many homeless cats and dogs.
When will the environmental and animal protection groups come out to condemn (tear-gas proliferation)?"
好慘。。
其實除左老鼠 tg都影響好多流浪貓狗。。
環保同動物組織幾時出黎踢遣責

"Demonstrator even saves a rat.
Damn rogue police beats and shots people at sight"
示威者連老鼠都救
死黑警見人就打用開槍

"If you have personally participated any street demonstration here, you know the demonstrators are full of love and warmth; showing concern about you and protecting pedestrians.
Today one even rubbed the back of a rat :~(
Very touching." 
只要親身上過街嘅人都會知示威者係充滿愛，好warm,會關心你，保護路人
今日仲會幫老鼠掃背:~(
好感動

"(This) brother is full of compassion.
Hope he will be healthier after touching this rat."
巴打好有愛心
希望掂完隻老鼠仲身體健康

"Later this rat will show its gratitude by chewing the popo (police) to death"
遲啲老鼠報恩，咬撚死班popo

" Like the rat in Cinderella, (this rat) will go to your home doing household work for you to repay your kindness." 
去你屋企報答你
好似灰姑娘啲老鼠咁幫你做家務

Hong Kong is under turmoil since June when the Hong Kong government had tried to push an unpopular extradition law that would legitimize China to extradite Hong Kong citizens to stand trial in Chinese courts. Hong Kong people have organized hundreds of demonstrations and protests against this law. These protests are countered with unprecedented violence and police brutality. In addition to around 5000 shots of rubber and bean bag bullets, over 5000 tear-gas bombs are shot in downtown, universities and residential areas. 4000 or more protestors, mostly young people, were arrested with a large number of them suffering serious injuries like head and bone fractures due to unchecked police brutality. Abnormal increases of "suicides" by drowning at sea and jumping from buildings have occurred in the last few months. Harmful chemicals like cyanide and dioxin emitted from tear-gas bombs are contaminating densely populated areas, hurting plants, wildlife and human beings.  

Around the same time this video was posted, cases of plague were reported in Beijing, China.

The Year of Rat will arrive next February. Rat is the Grand Duke or king of 2020.

May the universe bring peace to people and animals.

Helping people to move on... to better afterlife

Note:  In 2013, I had written a message about how to help any being to move on to a better afterlife with a Buddhist talisman ("Heaven is within reach......even for your pets!").  A few days ago I suddenly received an email with "Suicide" heading because of that message.  I was given permission to publish the email with identifying info removed.

Hi Ken,

My sister committed suicide on (date withheld).  She was baptised years ago but had not attended church for a long while.  She had a Christian funeral.

Among all the siblings, I was the last to see her alive when I had dinner at her house 5 days before her passing.  I had been worried as far back as one year ago that she might take her own life.  I had expressed my worry to a few close friends.  I feel quite guilty that I did not do more for her.

Perhaps it was my sister's karma that I found your blog a few years back, printed out the talisman, was able to recollect that it may be helpful to her.  I am very forgetful and have changed handbags a number of times over the past years and in the process keep misplacing and losing stuff.  

It was miraculous because her suicide left me devastated and in a state of shock and yet it suddenly occurred to me that I could use this talisman to help her.

When I went to her wake, I showed her the Manushri Bodhisattva Auspicious Diagram and the Liberation Upon Passing-By Mantra that I downloaded from your website because I was concerned about her destination, in view that she had taken her own life, which is generally viewed negatively.

(Ken note:  According to Chinese Buddhism, the souls of people who have committed suicide will relive the pain of their of suicidal act once everyday for hundreds of years before moving on to other realm as punishment).

I flashed the card to her again during the cremation.  Does this work? 

On the night of  (date, 12 days after her passing), during a car journey from Suzhou to Shanghai (China), I closed my eyes to rest and I saw a younger version of her surrounded by bright white light.  It did not seem like a dream, more like a vision. 

Would appreciate any guidance or advice from you.

Ken's comment:

Your flashing of the Liberation Upon Passing-By Mantra card seems to work.  I know because my late mother was a Christian (also rarely went to church) and had a Christian funeral.  I had a dream about her soon after her natural death in her black burial dress. She looked like in distress.  Then at the 49th days after her death,  I saw her in a bright white dress (I had never seen that style before) and looked much younger than her old age in a place that looked like a transportation hub (like a train station).  She was radiant like what you see in your vision.  I was an atheist at the time of her death and had not used this talisman.

I am surprised this Buddhist item also works on a Christian.  I guess it is your faith (or intention/ heart) that makes the whole thing works. 

The Liberation Upon Passing-By Mantra symbol has accumulated the mass consciousness of millions of people over the centuries--  it has immense power to help lost souls to move onto a better afterlife.

A single individual's intention power may not be big, but by tapping into power of Liberation Upon Passing-By Mantra, s/he can create miracle for the departed-- whether this is a human being or a pet.

Postscript:
Here is the response from the original email writer:

"With respect to my sister's passing, I kept crying every day when I thought about what a tough life and sad end she had and how I will not see her again.  But ever since the vision, the sadness has lifted and there are no more crying episodes.

I do hope that the talisman will help many, many others who have the good luck to chance upon your blog.  I take it out now and then to look at it, in the hope that it will also help me in the afterlife."
