According to Feng Shui, it is not suitable to live too close to temples and Taoist temples. If there is no way to avoid it, do not choose a house in the northwest or northwest directions of temples or Taoist temples. Your home will not be greatly affected if you live in the east. .

“Ning "Live in front of the temple, not behind the temple; I would rather live on the left side of the temple than on the right side of the temple." "The poor are behind the temple, the rich are in front of the temple, and widows appear on the left and right of the big temple." This is an old etiquette among the people. Many people have heard this If so, he is often confused.
In Feng Shui (Feng Shui), the places in front of the temple and behind the temple belong to the lonely evil place, so it is not suitable to have temples, churches and other religious places near the house.
Because of old superstitions, these places are places where gods rest and gather, which will interfere with the nearby aura or energy and affect the normal ecological environment that people need. Through the sentence "Xi Meng's mother, choose a neighbor" in the "Three Character Classic", we will understand a truth: the environment has a great impact on people's physical and mental health growth, as well as career development.
So, what impact will places like temples have on people’s physical and mental health and career fortunes?
According to the traditional Chinese Feng Shui cultural concept, buildings such as temples, Buddhist temples, and Taoist temples are empty and spiritual. According to the science of human body, it is regarded as a "hidden substance", and according to the theory of "Book of Changes", these buildings for worshiping ancestors and praying to gods should be characterized as negative auras, which is exactly the opposite of the concept of Yangzhai facing the sun. If you live next to them all day long, then these buildings will become part of the living environment, and the negative impact they will have on neighboring residents will be significant, and sometimes may even be quite serious. Therefore, you should be very careful when choosing a location to build a house or buy a house to live near a temple.
The old saying about this aspect of image judgment: "I would rather live in front of the temple than behind the temple; I would rather live on the left side of the temple than on the right side." Although these words are a bit exaggerated, they are true. There are many reasonable factors in the accumulation of people's living experience over the past century. We know that temples, Taoist temples, and City God's Temples are places for religious activities. In today's language, this is an occasion open to the public, where people of all kinds come and go, and the noise affects the tranquility of private homes. Especially among the people who come to these places, there are also patients who come to ask for signatures, perform rituals for the dead, etc., and there is often the possibility of contracting diseases. In addition, in the past, due to the concentration of people in temples, Taoist temples, and Chenghuang Temples, they became a business venue. This is how the so-called temple fairs were formed. Usually there is one every tenth or fifth day, with piles of garbage and a lot of people, which is not conducive to residential buildings.
In modern times, people continue to build various sacrificial buildings in cities. There are places to pray to the gods of heaven and earth, to offer sacrifices to ancestors, to commemorate martyrs, and there are also various religious temples and churches. These buildings are considered to be void and spiritual according to traditional Chinese concepts, and are considered "hidden substances" by human body science. However, these buildings are indeed part of urban architecture.
The land used for sacrificial buildings has a negative aura due to its easy management properties. When selecting land use, areas in residential areas that are accessible to residents day and night should be avoided. You should choose an independent area away from residential areas. Survey statistics prove that residents living near temples are more likely to suffer from Feng Shui diseases.
This is not only due to psychological and environmental pollution (air, noise, vision, etc.), but also mainly due to Feng Shui. Adding a project with a heavy Yin energy to a residential area where Yin and Yang are in balance will cause damage and imbalance in the Feng Shui field. Long-term living is detrimental to the human body.
In order to commemorate the martyrs, some cities build martyrs' monuments (Anshan, Benxi, etc.) or even martyrs' tombs (Heishan, Liaoyuan, Penglai, Shandong, etc.) in the central area of ??the city or on the top of a commanding mountain. The tomb and monument are higher than the building at the bottom of the mountain. The door opens directly to the mountain and the window opens to the tomb. The yin is high and the yang is low, with yin suppressing yang. Survey statistics prove. Feng shui diseases occur frequently.
The location of sacrificial buildings should preferably be located in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, or in an area with a protective isolation zone from urban residential areas. This kind of isolation zone has forest green space or wider river and lake water surfaces. At the same time, it is best to ensure smooth and accessible roads for transportation. The "Wangcheng Monument" and "Wangzhai Tomb" should be relocated appropriately.
The temple is a sacrificial building. It is quiet and less noisy. People gather and have various psychological states of silence. The halls are often deep and dim, with morning bells and evening drums, and they are often related to spiritual and underworld prayer activities. , its overall aura is negative.
A large temple should be located in a mountain forest away from the secular world, but not in a residential area.
The common folk pursuits of praying for blessings, seeking official status, increasing wealth, and prospering (having children and prospering the family) are of no value to temples. Temples are mainly conducive to worshiping and making offerings to gods, and are conducive to monks and nuns for spiritual cultivation. They provide convenient access for pilgrims and donors. Therefore, the feng shui requirements of temples are different from those of residents.
Residents avoid the mountain direction of Ziwu, but temples do not avoid Ziwu. Temples can thrive because of mountains. form a tourist attraction. Mountains and forests can also be named after temples.
Buddhist temple. I don't pay much attention to Yili Feng Shui, thinking that all external conditions depend on the practitioner's heart. There is a famous saying in Buddhism: "There is no cave in the world, the cave is in my heart." Therefore, the temple only chooses a place with beautiful scenery facing the wind and facing the sun, isolated from the secular world. Temples are often built in mountain cols and under the mountain banks. Since the Tang Dynasty, after integrating and penetrating Chinese cultural connotations, Buddhist temples have gradually paid attention to landscape conditions and Feng Shui patterns. But it is still far from Taoist teachings.
Taoist temples pay great attention to Feng Shui. He is very particular about the harmony of yin and yang and the five elements of mountains. Temples and temples are not only located in mountains. And take more high ground. Zhang Ge's old temple in Xingtai, Hebei Province is located in a huge hillside depression, backed by cliffs to the north and facing the fields down the mountain and the hills in the distance to the south. Green dragon on the left, white tiger on the right, very clear. The Jade Emperor Temple was built at the commanding heights on the top of the mountain. The temples are located on the mountain, descending step by step.
The Wuliang Temple in Qianshan, Liaoning also forms a group of buildings step by step up and down the mountain. The backyard of each temple is connected to the front door of another temple. Another Taoist architectural complex in Qianshan is the Wulong Palace. It was selected and built in an environment with a very specific Feng Shui pattern. The five surrounding ridges meet on a flat ground, as if five dragons are meeting and crouching here. The huge temple sits where the five dragons meet, so it is named Wulong Palace.
In the location selection of temples (Buddhism) and temples (Taoism), there is a unique rule, which is that most of these temples are built in places with bad shapes.
These shapes include cliffs, strange rocks, mountain tops, etc. They are all taboo places in residential areas. Even in terms of regulating qi, it dares to be built on the Chenxu and Chouwei lines of the "four tombs", or on the line between the two hexagrams, or on the "empty" line, which also reflects the location of the temple building. of particularity. In Feng Shui, the temple itself is a "suppression object", which is considered to be able to suppress evil spirits, which cannot be done by residential buildings. The location of the temple may be a geomantic treasure, or a place with evil spirits can be transformed into evil spirits, turning special evil spirits into special auspiciousness. Because Feng Shui is based on Yili. Believe that things have no absolute advantages. There is no "Jedi" in the world that cannot be solved, and they can all be transformed. The extreme of things is the opposite. After transformation, a very bad place can be transformed into an excellent place. This is different from residential buildings.
As far as Buddhist temples are concerned, the front hall (mountain gate - Tianwang Hall - Daxiong Hall) is actually a Yin house, and the atmosphere is Yin. The standard layout in front of the Mahavira Hall is a small pagoda or sutra building. It originally housed the bones of the Buddha, and opposite it was the Wei Tuo Buddha in the Heavenly King's Hall. Belongs to Yin. It can be said that it is a ghost house. The Sutra Collection Hall, monk's room, kitchen and warehouse in the backyard belong to the Yangzhai. Therefore, a holistic temple is a place where yin and yang merge into one, with a neutral and partial yin atmosphere.
