Effects of house facing void line

My last time writing on void lines was in 2002.  Time to do some green business.

When the facing degree of a house is at the borderline of two "mountains" (24 sectors defined in Feng Shui), it is called sitting on a void line.  House sitting on a void line does not collect "qi" that is essential for the prosperity and well-being of the residents.  For definitions and varieties of void lines, please read these old blog articles:

Some major effects of void lines are:

• familial disharmony and divorces
• fluctuating luck- big ups and down; bad wealth luck
• legal problems and imprisonment
• accidents and surgeries
• nightmares, especially those involving ghosts and spirits
• "seeing" spirits or ghosts even during daytime
• unexpected and rare disasters like airline crash
• stagnated career or business
• disloyal or rebellious subordinates

Small void lines or the ones between 24 mountains are possible to fix by relocating doors and qi-paths.  Big void lines or the borderlines between two trigrams are not fixable.  The best cure is moving.

Saving Lucky Larry (or yourself)

"Lucky Larry" is the nickname given by children of Waterford, Connecticut,  to a 17 pounds, 80+ years old lobster.

Larry was caught in the waters of New England and sold to a restaurant in Waterford.  It became the star attraction to local children.

When word got around town that someone had reserved the lobster for dinner, a good Samaritan, Don Mackenzie came to the rescue. He had purchased the lobster for an undisclosed sum.

"This lobster has seen World War I, World War II, seen the landing on the moon and the Red Sox win the World Series, he's made it this far in life," MacKenzie said. "He deserves to live."

Lucky Larry was sent off to sea with a group of children chanting  "Let Larry live, let Larry live!". The Niantic River Bridge operator also had sounded the opening and closing siren for the crustacean's journey back home.

According to Buddhist belief, all living creatures have spirits, are capable of enlightenment and are related in one lifetime or another.  By saving any living creature that is doomed to death like becoming a dinner dish or being euthanized, one may have saved his own relative, friend or foe of previous lifetimes who may become an animal in current lifetime.

The act of saving any life, be it the life of an ant, fish, bird, dog, cat and etc.,  will create blessing and good karma credits for the actor.  Saving lives of any creatures are especially good for promoting longevity and extending the life expectancy of people with life-threatening sickness.  Hence, releasing wild animals, birds, fishes, turtles, snakes and the likes back to the wild is a popular positive karma building  practices among some Buddhists.  They form "Releasing Society" and purchase living creatures destined to the kitchen and release them back to their natural habitat on a regular basis.

Below is a Youtube video showing the releasing of fishes. These fishes swam in formation to show their gratitude:

There are many stories of people battling cancer using a combination of dieting, meditation, exercise and releasing living creatures and won.

Extra Strength Dragon-boat Water-- FREE

Current year's Dragon Boat Festival falls on this coming Saturday  (June 23, bing-wu month).

Chinese collect "dragon-boat water" for cleansing because the day is the "yangest" day in the year.  It is called dragon-boat water because Chinese run dragon-boat races on water during this festival.

Negative energy is considered as "yin".  The cure for it is to apply yang energy.  Dragon-boat water is collected during the yangest day and hour of the year and so it has a high level of yang energy.

For 2012, Ren-Chen, the year of water-dragon year, the water should be "extra strong" due to current year is a yang water dragon year.

To get your FREE dragon-boat water, simply turn on your water tap between 11:00- 13:00 on this coming Saturday and collect the water.

Dragon-boat water is good for cleansing like:
-- spray it on your body after visiting hospital, funeral home, cemetery, etc.
-- your home has many sickness lately
-- your feel depressed (take shower with it or spray on your body)
-- drink it (if you have chronic sickness, (boil it first!)but don't drink too much)
-- cleansing unknown objects like the antique you bought from Goodwill
-- cleansing your home/ office or simply cleaning your home with it.

I had a few gallons of dragon-boat water collected a few years ago and was left near a window with sun shining everyday.  The water does not turn green and stays crystal clear.

We probably will see some people selling dragon-boat water on eBay soon.

4-Pillars Bootcamp Plus Edition

"4P Bootcamp" is my most popular live seminar and video course since 2005.  It targets people who need a solid knowledge of 4-Pillars but do not want to take more than one 4P course.

Besides the  almost encyclopedic nature in the original, the new 2012 Plus Edition adds the followings:

New easy to use 10K Years Calendar with 150 years of data— it handles both solar and lunar calendars,  good for any Chinese metaphysics date-related tasks (except QMDJ’s Ju# is not included).  It is also much easier to use than the previous version (also included in the course DVD) with dates shown using standard numbers and not Chinese numbers.

Special Bonus: 60 Binomials Predictions based on Day Pillar.  Other schools have dragged this topic into a one-week course and made  it sound like ambiguous horoscopic reading with no focuses.  We simply have selected the most accurate predictions based on numerous case histories and shrunk 100's pages into 10 useful pages.

Special Bonus: Quantitative Bazi with an easy to use mathematical formula that converts a natal chart into numbers to calculate the strength of a day-master.  It troubleshoots borderline charts with amazing accuracy.

Now the course manual has over 300 pages plus a 153 pages PDF file for the 10K Years Calendar.  Manual includes hundreds of tables and special cheat sheets that you will use like a Bazi dictionary all the time.  The course comes with 13 hours of menu-driven video with 50% of video covering materials not included in the manual.

The materials included in this course will take other schools 2 to 3 weeks of live seminars to cover.  This could possibly be the best deal for 4-Pillars or Bazi studies.

In addition, course fee includes membership to the 4PBC online discussion list.  The message archive contains hundred of messages, new case materials and secrets too valuable to be included in course manual (so only legitimate course members will get it).  You can also ask questions and discuss issues with the instructor and other students on the list.

Thank you for reading this message!

Unusual 4-Pillars Readings

I do quick 4-Pillars readings for my friends and students when they run into crisis, new girl friends or simply some interesting or difficult charts.

Late last year a friend had emailed me a male chart with no specific questions. The chart has self-penalty, day and luck pillar battling (fan-yin) and potential 3-penalties.  I told her that the chart owner is likely to have major events happen.

A few weeks later, this friend told me the chart belongs to her dog.  It had died of kidney failure in a jia-yin day.  The day branch yin formed a si-shen-yin 3-penalties with the rest of the dog's natal chart.

Last April (Jia-chen month) another friend had emailed me this male chart and asked what would happen to the chart owner.

Y: ding-hai  (2007)
M: xin-hai
D: ding-wei
H: missing info

Current 10-year luck: geng-xu
Annual luck: ren-chen  (2012)
Current month: jia-chen  (April 2012)

There were numerous clashes and penalties in this chart:

• hai-hai self-penalty
• chen-chen self-penalty
• chen-xu clash
• 10-year luck battles current month
• likely to have xu-chou-wei 3-penalties, activated by chen clashing xu

When a chart has numerous clashes and penalties going on, serious injury or accident is likely to happen.  Death may occur if the hour pillar is a chou or somehow a chou gets into the system to form a complete 3-penalties with clashing by Grand Duke (chen for current year). I had predicted possible head or limbs injury.

This friend had emailed me later that the male chart belongs to his race horse!  It had broken one of his legs during a race in April and was euthanized on the spot (likely a shot at the head).  He was so sad that he had arranged several monks to perform a Buddhist reincarnation ritual for the deceased horse.

I had done Bazi reading for cats before but not dog and horse.  Why Bazi reading is also applicable to animals?  The basic premise of Bazi is that all living things are supported and affected by the five element energies of water, wood, fire, earth and metal.  When one is not affected by these 5-element energies, one is either dead or becomes an immortal.

Animals are also affected by the same energies and hence Bazi reading will also be applicable -- with some minor modifications due to the variations of gestation period and life expectancy.

"Pet Bazi"?  Why not?  It is good for the economy.  People are more generous with their pets than themselves sometimes.

Bazi or 4-Pillars of Weight loss

The basic principle of Bazi or 4-Pillars is balance-- if the day-master of a person is strong, we try to weaken it and strengthen it if it is weak.  So the question of weight loss is also based on the strength of the day-master.

In other words, people with day-master that is on the strong side are suitable to do weight loss.  It will improve their luck and get better weight control results. 

People who have balanced day-master, regardless of body weight, are not suitable to do any weight loss.

People whose day-master are on the weak side should not do weight loss or their luck will slide.  They are also likely to regain the lost weight and wasting their weight-control expenses.

Here is a summary:

DAY-MASTER STRENGTH/   WEIGHT LOSS
Strong                             suitable to do
Weak                               not suitable
Balanced                          not suitable
Extreme strong                 not suitable
Extreme weak                   suitable
====================================
 In terms of 4P charts, women with "Shi-shen" (-output or "eating god" ) profile chart (shi-shen in month branch) are likely to have a "full" figure, especially those without resource (zheng-yin/pian-yin) elements to control the shi-shen or "eating god". 

Zheng-cai stands for wealth and wife for man in Bazi.  If a man's wife is doing weight loss, she can possibly hurt his wealth luck!  Some of you here should thank me for giving you a great reason to keep on eating.
 
If you do not understand these Bazi terms, you may take my "4-Pillars Bootcamp" video course. If your cannot afford the course,  you may use the below to determine if you have a strong or weak day-master:

You are likely to have a strong day-master if you
--  like to work by yourself and not in teams
--  are decisive
--  are opinionated
-- have people like to borrow your money but not repaying you

You are likely to have a weak day-master if you
--  like to work with others
--  are indecisive or hesitate a lot
--  like to procrastinate
--  easily follow/agree with others

Meeting Sakyamuni Buddha in Hong Kong

Sakyamuni Buddha

In 1011, during the Song Dynasty of China, a monk from India, Master Danapala, had offered the sacred relic of the skull of Sakyamuni Buddha to Emperor Zhen.  This relic was housed in the underground palace of the Sacred Relic Pagoda inside Changgan Temple.

The Sacred Relic Pagoda was destroyed later due to war and the relic was disappeared for over 1000 years.

In 2008, during an archeological excavation of the Great Baoen Temple, the original underground palace housing the relic was discovered.  The sacred relic of the skull of Sakyamuni Buddha has "reappeared".

Relics of Sakyamuni Buddha are not rare because there were over 80,000 pieces of Buddha's relics collected when he was cremated.  But a large chunk of his skull like the rediscovered one is very rare and considered "national treasure" and the ultimate holy relic of the Buddhist world.

From April 25 to 30th (2012), this sacred relic is transported to Hong Kong to celebrate the birthday of Buddha and the 15th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong to China.  The public is invited to see and pay homage to the relic in a coliseum.  Over 300,000 people have attended this event.

The skull or usnisa of Sakyamuni Buddha

Worshipers walking past the golden pagoda housing the relic

The weather was strange during the relic exhibition. The city here had unusually big rain and thunderstorms during mid-nights and sunshine or hazy sky during the days.  The rainfall had cleansed and purified the qi or energy of the city.  Some Buddhists said that beings other than human also wanted to pay their homage to the Buddha relic-- hence bringing the big thunderstorms at night.

I was fortunate to be in Hong Kong doing research when the exhibition was on. This is probably my affinity with Buddha.

Majority of the relic worshipers are from the older generations-- most are over 50 years old.  Older folks are probably thinking more about what will happen after death. I saw many old, sick, infirm and people on wheelchairs coming to "meet" Buddha-- similar to people in the western world flocking to holy sites with relics for inspirations and faith-healing.

I had seen other Buddhist relics, including Sakyamuni Buddha's crystallized relics in small bead form in 2005 when there was a relic exhibition in Minnesota.  I remember the indescribable pleasant and calm energies near the relics even the exhibition room was crowded with sweating people.

I felt the same jubilant and peaceful energies in the coliseum. Some people were in states of euphoria. 

I like the feeling of this holy energy and seized the opportunities to stick around the coliseum.  I ended up attended Dharma Services three times and absorbed a few hours of Buddha energies.

"The opportunity to see the sacred relic is as good as meeting Buddha" (得見舍利，如見佛陀). Now I can die a happy man.
