"Personal Grand Duke" Versus "Annual Grand Duke"

In China, when we pay our annual homage to the Annual Grand Duke (值年太歲) in a temple, we also pray to our "Personal Grand Duke" (本命元神) for blessing and safety.

Annual Grand Duke is the ruler of the year and changes every year.  It is similar to the "annual luck" of everyone's 4-Pillars chart.

"Personal Grand Duke" is the Grand Duke on duty when a person was born.  For example,  people who were born in 1954 or 2014 (Jia-wu year) have the same Personal Grand Duke Zhang Ci. Zhang Ci is the "Personal Grand Duke" of these people for the rest of their life.

Why do we need to keep our "Personal Grand Duke" happy?Because he is in charge of our physical well-being and life expectancy.  Personal Grand Duke is similar to the western notion of personal guardian angel.

There are elaborate rituals for worshiping  Personal Grand Duke  to enhance personal safety, health, wealth luck, neutralize disasters. Here I give you an ultra simple way to solicit help from your own Personal Grand Duke -- simply recite the name of your Personal Grand Duke when you are in trouble, fear, difficult situation or danger.  The names of 60 Grand Dukes are posted below (click to enlarge).  Find the name of your Personal Grand Duke and remember it by heart or tattoo it onto your palm.

HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR GRAND DUKE TALISMAN?
To keep things simple, I only list which animal sign clashes or violates Annual Grand Duke in previous blog message.  In reality, it is more complicated than that.  For example, if your 4P chart has zi (mouse) branch in pillar other than the year pillar, you are also clashing Grand Duke!  If month pillar clashes Grand Duke, your parents may be in danger.  If day pillar clashes Grand Duke, you or your spouse may have problem (divorce, sickness, injury or even death).  So some people play it safe and get Grand Duke talismans  for their whole family every year (please read previous blog on how to get your Grand Duke talismans). For example,  Joyce of Philippines, who has also requested talismans in 2013 and write again:

"We kindly request for this year's talisman for our growing  family I believe we had a good 2013 and look forward to a wonderful 2014

1 - House
2  - Joyce 
3 - Dominga  - mother
4 - Jonathan - brother
5 - Jonine  - sister
6 - Jonas - future brother in law..."

Here is an interesting response from a QMDJ student who has purchased one in 2013:

"Well, the end of the year is coming.  My wife Mary surprised me when she asked about the talisman I purchased last year.  She noticed that 2013 was a good year for us despite many 2013 predictions. And many friends and relatives have not had such a good year.  I found your article from a while ago, and went to Heifer International to donate two starter hives of bees.  It is a small thing.  My father, my uncles and my grandfather were bee keepers.  Some of my earliest memories are when daddy would take me and my brother to the bee yard in the spring as he woke up the bees.  So we played with the bees and learned to understand the songs of the bees.  And as in Qi-Men-Dun-Jia, we learnt from the bees about their paths. It is a wondrous thing for a small boy to stand in the flight path of hundreds of bees on a sunny spring day as they go out to the flowers and then return.  

So I ask if you could find two talismans for us.  I work in the Government Center, a most back stabbing place and not a place for a farm boy but that is my karma in this life.  My wife and I dream of moving to the farm and starting a vineyard and maybe a winery but it takes money to do that."  

Interesting analogy between bee dances and QMDJ formation!  Maybe one day you will build a farm with QMDJ principles.

4P/ Bazi Terminology Conventions

The following is taken from the "4P Bootcamp" manual.  This is an update of an earlier version published a few years ago.

I wrote this because a software developer wants me to recommend his 4P software to my students.  The software is above average but the English translations of 4P terms are horrible and confusing, like translating day-master as "self" and bi-jian also as "self".  So you will find more than one "self" in a chart.

Let's begin:

There are no commonly agreed translations of 4P terms.  Different schools or teachers translate 4P terms according to his/her personal preferences.  There are three major rules used in translations:

1. Literal translations: This simply gives a faithful and very often, horrible (in terms of culture shock) translations of the terms. For examples, “shi-shen” is translated as “eating god”, “qi-sha” becomes “7-killings”, “shang-guan” becomes “hurting officials or officers” and the likes. Problem with literal translations is that it may bias student perceptions towards certain term as “bad” or negative because it sounds horrible. In reality, every one of the “10 gods” or "transformation stars” (my terminology) can be positive or negative depending on the composition of the 4P chart. Another common misconception is the ubiquitous uses of the term "god" in 4P, like "useful god" (yong shen), "enmity god" (chou shen) and the like, making 4P sound "religious" when it is actually more statistical and logical in nature.

2. Pin-yin translations: This gives a transliteration of the 4P terms like “shi-shen”, “zheng-guan” and etc. It takes some time to get used to these foreign terms. But it is great when you go back to the original Chinese texts or switching teachers/school.

3. Translation based on interpreted meanings: This translates the 4P terms based on the understanding of the translator. For example, shi-shen and shang-guan are translated as “output” stars. But different people have different understanding of the terms, so the translations can sometimes be confusing and shocking as well. Good translations under this should be “value-free” or NOT “value-laden”. It should also give meanings that are faithful or close to the original meanings of the terms. The translated terms should not influence the perception of the readers and students.

4. Mixing of all of the above

My personal bias is trying to make the translated terms as neutral as possible, so as not influence the reader's perception.  Each of these 10 "stars" or "gods" can be positive or negative depending on the combination of the natal chart and luck periods.  Ancient Chinese writers used the term “god” pretty loosely to draw attention.  In fact, the meaning has nothing to do with religion or gods or spirits.

In this course, we use both pin-yin and interpreted meanings approach.  The following table shows some major terms as translated by different schools:

Note:  top row is the convention used in 4P Bootcamp

4P TERMS: Stem/ Branch interactions

Five Stem Combinations (天干五合) -- combinations

Stem Clashes (天干相剋 )“ke” -- clashes and countering

Six Branch Combinations (地支六合) ”he” -- combinations

Six Branch Clashes (地支六冲) “chong” -- clashes

Branch 3-Meetings   (地支三会) “san hui” -- frame, directional combinations, regional combinations

Branch 3-Unities (地支三合)  “san he” -- 3-harmony, triangular branch combinations, 60-degrees combinations

Half 3-Unities (半地支三合) “san he” -- semi/half 3-harmony

Branch Six Harms (地支六害) “hai” -- harms

Earthly Branch Six Damages (地支六破) “po” -- destruction

Branch 3-Penalties (地支三刑) “san xing” -- punishment

Branch Self-penalties  (自刑) “zi xing” -- self-punishment

4P TERMS: Miscellaneous

Favorable element (“Yong Shen”) 用神 -- “useful god”: the element that a chart needs most

2014 Grand Duke Talisman Charity Drive

This post is based on last year's "Grand Duke Talisman charity drive" with updates for 2014.

This year we have a special treat-- a very unique and graphic Grand Duke talisman drawn by an old Daoist Master from Dragon-tiger mountain, the holy site of Daoism in China.  This is so rare that I do not post the image here. It will be a collector's item.

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. This is a major rationale that donation to get your Grand Duke talisman.  When your talisman is grounded with a charitable deed, GD is less likely to execute any misfortunes due from your karma account. Another rationale for donation is exchange of energy-- using a charitable deed in exchange of protection energy from Grand Duke.

2014 GRAND DUKE GENERAL ZHANG CI  章词
2014 is Jia-wu or year of wood-horse. Grand Duke for the year is General Zhang Ci who was a civil officer in Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644).  Zhang was known for his knowledge in the classics and intelligence.  He had ruled by setting examples of humility and frugality.

2014  GRAND DUKE TALISMAN 
Jia-wu or year of  Wood-horse can be very dangerous for people with Bazi chart that dislikes fire because Jia-wu is strong fire energy.  Fire is especially dangerous for virtually any element, even for water.  Fire and water clash may cause sickness and accidents.  Too much fire burning earth may cause cancer.  Howver, charts that like fire will enjoy strong luck for this year.

Wu-horse clashes Zi-rat. Zi, Wu, Mao and You are the 4-cardinal elements which are regarded as "peach-blossom" elements.  When Wu clashes Zi,  it stands for illicit romance.  Keep an eye on your spouse or lover if s/he has a Zi-wu clash in his/her Bazi chart.

Here are the four groups of people who need Grand Duke Talismans:
1. "Fu-yin" or same animal sign of Grand Duke 值太岁-- people with HORSE sign
Birth years: 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002
Symptoms: obstacles, stagnation or running "reverse" instead of forward and not suitable for travels.

2. "Fan-yin" or "clashing" the animal sign of Grand Duke 冲太岁-- people with RAT sign
Birth years: 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
Symptoms: big fluctuations in luck, accident, sickness, surgery, losing competitions/wealth, moving, death, changing job

3. "Hai" or "harming" the animal sign of Grand Duke 害太岁-- people with OX sign
Birth years: 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
Symptoms: backstabbing at work, and success slips away in the last minute

4. "Po" or "breaking" the animal sign of Grand Duke 破太岁-- people with RABBIT sign
Birth years: 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
Symptoms: legal problems, accidents, injuries by knife, low luck and personal safety problems

GRAND DUKE TALISMAN FOR FENG SHUI REMEDY
If your house faces Wu mountain or South 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 Wu mountain or South 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 South 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
The offer is: your charity donation of US$30 or more to any legitimate local or international charity will get you a specially blessed Grand Duke talisman. Here are some examples of donations already done:
animal protection shelter

• 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

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 I will not email you in the future other than sending a note that your talisman is sent. You will send me NO money. You send your money directly to your favorite local or international charity. You do not even need to pay me postage. You do NOT need to purchase any additional item from me or anyone else. No future solicitation of any type will be sent to you.  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)
 --two talismans US$50 donation ($10 if unemployed /under-employed )
 --three talismans US$60 donation ($15 if unemployed /under-employed )
(you may go to www.xe.com to calculate the equivalent of US$30 to your local currency)

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

All talismans sent are individually purified, bless and stamped with the seal of a major deity.  The ritual itself normally has a suggested donation of US$50- 100.

To claim your talismans and application instructions, please forward your donation receipt with the talisman recipient names and address to: kenlai88@yahoo.com

All talisman claims will be sent by First Class mail in USA and air-mail outside USA.

Get your Grand Duke Talismans before Feb. 4, 2013 if possible.

Thank you for participating in this drive.

Minimalist Feng Shui Guide for 2014 Year of Horse

This is a "green" article recycled from last year with updates.  If you are darn lazy, just read the following picture and go back to your nap.

2014 is Jia-wu or year of Wood-horse.  Horse is fire in nature in the Chinese zodiac. So this year is strong in fire energy with wood as energy source.  Any idiot Chinese astrologer is able to predict there will be many forest fire, explosions and fire related disasters.   2013 Gui-si year (water-snake, snake is fire in nature) is characterized by both flooding and fire disasters.

We use the annual Feng Shui chart to evaluate the yearly movements of Feng Shui energies. This chart is based on Purple White Method which holds that 1,6, 8 and 9-star locations are auspicious. 2-black sickness and 5-yellow disaster star locations are inauspicious.

San-sha (3-killings) is in Hai, Zi and Chou mountains (North) this year.  5-yellow disaster star is in Northwest.  So Hai mountain (NWN) has 5-yellow overlapping there.  Avoid construction or digging there at all cost.  You don't want to piss off San-sha and 5-yellow at the same time.

It is OK to face San Sha direction but NOT sit on them. Traditional fix for San Sha is a pair of ki-lun figurines. But if you cannot get or afford ki-lun, you may use a sword-waving archangel St. Michael figurine or picture instead.  Fix for 5-yellow is metal or coin-salt solution.

Tai Sui or Grand Duke is at Wu mountain or the South. Avoid movements or put up a Grand Duke talisman if your door sits in the south side (check next blog on how to get the talisman).  It is auspicious to sit with Grand Duke at your back but NOT facing him.  Sui-po or year-breaker is at Zi (N) mountain. Avoid movements, digging, drilling and constructions in these locations.

"Minimalist Feng Shui"  here fixes only 2-5, 5-5, and 9-5 star combinations in regions with activities.  You don't need to put up remedies or Feng Shui monsters in all 9-palaces of your house, especially in region of no activity like storage room and guest room.

Yang nobleman sign for this year is Wei (ram).  Yin nobleman is Chou (ox).

You should 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 (before Feb. 4, 2014).

People with rat and horse zodiac sign should avoid seeing corpse being put into a coffin or burial for this year.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Heaven is within reach... even for your pets!

Horace, a Caucasian student of mine, has been a horse trainer for over 30 years.  He had two accidents that forced him to euthanize two valuable race horses in less than 2 years. He was very sad and worried about the afterlife well-being of these horses. He had summoned the service of Tibetan monks to chant and make offerings for the horses, so that they can move on to higher realm in their next lives without being an animal again.

One day, Horace pondered if he can apply a transcendental object like a talisman to prevent misfortune from happening to his horses again.  He has emailed me for help.

From my Daoist talisman collections, I found 2 talismans for protection of farm animals and one specifically for horses.  However, it took me a long time to dig up the picture of the Daoist Horse Deity because the importance of horse had diminished when it was replaced by automobile in the early 20th century.  Horace can setup a Horse Deity altar in his stable for additional protection.

But the Daoist talismans do not handle the afterlife well-being of the horses.  This normally involves chanting, karma purification, prayers, self-cultivation by the beneficiary (in this case, the horse) or benefactor (monks chanting).  Even humans can hardly do these tasks themselves, not to mention animals or your pets.

Is it possible to find an object or talisman that can protect, purify karma, prevent reincarnation to animal or ghost path (at least to human path) and hopefully offer passage to heaven-- with minimal or no requirement of effort on the animal?  If such object exists, it should also work for people who are too lazy or unable to chant, pray or go to church/ temple, or someone who is an atheist.

After several weeks of research, I have found a branch in Esoteric Buddhism which offers easy afterlife liberation simply by touching, seeing, listening (to mantra chanting), carrying or passing-by a copy of special mantra  (藏传佛教佩戴、触、见、闻、尝解脱).

I have specially designed a multiple functions talisman card that combines "liberation upon seeing" and "liberation upon passing-by" the talisman.  Below is the front and back of the card:

--Click to enlarge--

-Click to enlarge, right-click to copy-

With this card,  Horace only needs to tape this card at the stable entrance, his horses (and any human) will be blessed with afterlife liberation when passing through the gate without making any effort.  Additional benefits will be gained if these beings also see the Manjushri Bodhisattva Auspicious Diagram.

You can give your pet the same benefits by flashing this talisman around it or simply tape the talisman inside your house and everyone will get the benefits without making much effort.

This Manjushri Bodhisattva Auspicious Diagram was drawn by a Tibetan rinpoche (living buddha) who encourages people to duplicate and distribute this diagram to benefit as many sentimental beings (humans, animals, fishes, bird, insects and etc.) as possible.   You will accumulate good karma credit by distributing it,  posting it in high traffic area or  "flashing" it to animals/ fishes in the markets before they are slaughtered or released .  Simply right-click your mouse to capture the picture into your computer and make your own hard copies.

FAQ
Q:  I can't believe getting into heaven is so easy, is this a hoax?
A.  Your doubt is reasonable.  There is a 50/50 chance that nothing happens when we died-- no heaven, hell or afterlife.  But you hardly do anything or pay anything to get this "afterlife insurance", your choice is a no-brainer.  Besides, these benefits are well-documented in an ancient Buddhist classic and not a modern invention.

Q.  Is this talisman unfair for those who really work for liberation by praying, doing good work, going to church/temple and etc.? 
A:  Information is liberation.  I have done the hard work for you.  This talisman only guarantees the beneficiary of no reincarnation to animal or hungry ghost path and hopefully passage to heaven.  But heaven has multiple levels.  It does not specify which level of heaven one will go.  I guess this should be the lowest level since the beneficiary has not done much to deserve higher level.  However, being the doorman of heaven is 10k times better than being a human or a pig on earth (not to mention hell) -- no tax, no Obamacare and all you can eat buffet.  Pal, get your feet into the heaven door first and worry about promotion later.

Q:  Have you seen evidence of this type of talismans working?
A. Yes, my old man was an atheist.  I had put a "touch upon liberation" talisman with his burial and he goes to heaven (don't ask how I know).  Another case was a horse with a "touch" talisman when it was euthanized.  I don't know if it goes to heaven except knowing it is happy wherever it is.

Chinese calligraphy-- "Reality changes with thought"

Q:  Do you mean this talisman will work even if the beneficiary does not believe in religion?  Why?
A.  If it works for animals which are likely "non-religious", so it will also work for atheists.  The "magic" is not on the receiver but the administer or the person who apply the talisman to the being.  A famous Buddhist saying, "Reality changes with thought (heart)" 境随心转.  People with affinity with me will grasp this meaning.

Q.  Can I do all the "bad" things and still get the benefits of this "afterlife insurance"?
A:   You don't want to play trick with deity (in this case, Manjushri Bodhisattva, the wisdom deity).  You get double penalties when you knowingly doing "bad" things thinking the talisman will cover your behind.  Also capital offense like murder is not excusable with or without this talisman.

Q.  How do I "activate" or maximize the effect of this talisman?
A:  The Manjushri portion of the talisman gives you quite a few benefits.  One way to get the Universe to exchange energy with you is to make a donation to your favorite charity to get the flow of energy started.  Keep making donations when you get more benefits to keep the flow going  You may wear out your welcome mat sooner or later if you just keep getting from the Universe and not giving something back.  The energy flow will stop.

Little Miracle x 6

Oh!  Monday again.  But I hope the following photo story will make your day.

The following story was reported on Oct. 25 (2013) in a Chinese blog.  A young couple travels to the Shinjang, the Northwest part of China.  They had stopped by a windmill generators areas to take some photos.

While taking a photo, a little white animal ran towards the couple.  They thought it was a cat because it is pretty small.

It is a white dog and looks skinny but friendly to the couple.  From the body shape,  "she" is a nursing mother dog!   The couple feel sorry for her weak physical state.

           After walking along a few minutes, mother dog ran away from the couple.

Mother dog ran a few meters and then turned around to see if the couple follow her. She then wagged her tail as if signaling the couple something.  She had repeated this ran and wagged actions a few times. 

She ran toward the wood.  The couple suddenly realized that the dog may want to show them something inside the wood.

    The couple followed the white dog into the wood.

Mother dog showed them her litter of puppies hidden in the wood!

These puppies seemed to have not seen any human being before.  They were scared.

Mother dog comforted and reassured her puppies.

The couple thought that snow season will come soon and these puppies will perish if they do not act.  They also thought that the mother dog seek their help to care for the puppies.

The puppies ran around to escape being picked up by the couple and their friend.  Surprisingly, mother dog did not stop the couple from picking up her puppies.

It took them over an hour to catch all the puppies.  "I love a man holding a puppy".  The wife wrote.

The wife use a jacket to improvise a bag to hold the puppies.

3 puppies in the bag.  More to come!

5 lovely puppies in the bag!

Mother dog had watched the couple picking up her puppies without making a noise.  It seemed she trusts the couple to handle her puppies.

Suddenly, mother dog laid down, as if she felt relieved that the puppies are taken care of.

Let's pick up the mother too or we will need a cow. She looks at ease right now.

The good Samaritans took the dog family to their car.

Mother dog was very thirsty.  She drank half a bottle of water.

A nice folk gave the couple a box to carry the dog family.

4 + 1 puppies-- how lovely!

"Sit tight!  Car is moving.  Have a happy ride."

They went to a restaurant and fed mother dog a cake.  She is too weak and hungry to eat meat at least for a few days.

The puppies had drawn some admirers!

And more admirers.

Mother dog watched over and fed the puppies at the same time.

Take a walk and water break at a rest area.

"Your puppies are still here."

Smiling puppy?

More smiling puppies!

POSTSCRIPT:  The original title of this blog photo essay is "Happenstance:  Great touching maternal love of a mother dog" (奇遇记：狗妈伟大的母爱触动心灵).  It solicits help for the transportation and placement of these puppies.  Readers have offered suggestions and adoption proposals.  Most are happy to see mother dog and her puppies saved from winter snow and  their notorious dog-eating countrymen.

A homeless dog coming into one's family is considered as "good for wealth" luck by the Chinese.  However, the opposite is for homeless cat.  But being a cat is safer than being a dog because cat is not eaten as often as dog by the Chinese.  You win some and lose some.

May all homeless pets are as fortunate as this dog family.
