Many people, when they see a relative or friend having various obstacles in their fortune, will advise him or her: "Why not take a look at Feng Shui! Change your fortune!"
Can looking at Feng Shui really improve your destiny? From the perspective of Buddhism, fortune-telling explains positive rewards, while Feng Shui explains dependent rewards. Feng shui is about observing the good, bad, and bad fortune of Yangzhai (where the living live) and Yinzhai (where the dead are buried). Buddhism believes that retribution will follow the positive retribution. If you are blessed with positive rewards, you will definitely be good if you follow the rewards; if you are not blessed with positive rewards, you will definitely be bad if you follow the rewards. Therefore, Feng Shui experts often say: "Auspicious people live in auspicious places." and "It is better to seek the Yin place than to seek the heart place." These "auspicious people" and "heart places" refer to "positive rewards". Explain that the report will be transferred according to the original report. Positive retribution is primary, and obedient retribution is secondary. Master Yin Guang, a great virtue of the Pure Land Sect of modern Buddhism, said in his text: "How can the opinions of the experts be accurate? If it is as said, then the rich and noble people will always be rich and noble. Why is it that every time someone in a high family dies of hunger, the most powerful person in the world No one can get a good land and a good house like an emperor. Every time an emperor has a long life but a short one, since the Han Dynasty, there has been no one who has lived longer than four hundred years. The poor are all suffering, and they want to get a good house and a good acupoint, but they can't. They want to avoid suffering. And you try your best to make the suffering more profound. As long as you have good intentions, say good words, do good deeds, recite Buddha's name with all your heart, preach to others, and do it over and over again according to the letter, your karmic obstacles will disappear and your good roots will grow. The light will be yours. Confession, how can it be better if you sincerely repent and repent yourself... If you want to turn misfortune into blessing, you should repeat the same thing in this letter and tell everyone when you meet them, tell them to build another house and move to another place. The ancestral graves are beneficial and not harmful. People do not seek blessings in their hearts, but seek blessings externally. If Master Kanyu knows that both misfortunes and blessings are caused by the heart and are also transformed by the heart, then it will be a lesson in trends that are beneficial to the world." Look. Feng shui can make poor people rich, can make sick people healthy, can make employees with bad luck get a salary increase or promotion, can also turn a company that has been losing money for many years into a prosperous business, and it can even To make the antagonizing couple change their minds...
On the surface, it seems that Feng Shui can improve one's destiny. However, most people will ignore one of the famous sayings that contains profound philosophy - "Blessed Land, Blessed People". It is absolutely impossible for people without "blessing" to live in a "blessed place" with good Feng Shui.
The meaning of this sentence is: Any "blessed land" with good Feng Shui in the world can only be lived in by those who are "blessed". "Blessed land" is also a house with good Feng Shui.
In fact, Feng Shui's ability to change destiny is only a superficial phenomenon, and it has certain roots.
From a Buddhist perspective, the two biggest reasons why Feng Shui can improve destiny are: 1. Changing destiny based on innate luck. 2. Improve your destiny (get good results) in response to the retribution of accumulated good deeds (good causes).
In the final analysis, what can really improve your destiny is not Feng Shui, but the word "cause and effect".
Because, whether it is innate luck or acquired virtues, they are all "good fruits" obtained by sowing "good causes".
I have been studying Feng Shui for nearly twenty years, starting from my ancestors. I have paid attention to this issue a long time ago. Sometimes I really want to try my best to help a very pitiable poor person, volunteer to inspect the feng shui of his house, and tell him how to remedy it and how to prevent it. I also try to use the simplest and most cost-effective method to remedy it, but the master has no idea. Uncertain, some are half-hearted, some are just listening to others, and often fail to follow the law. As a result, my efforts are in vain. This is because he has planted too few "good karma".
About five years ago, I became friends with a foreign bank owner. His business was mediocre and not very outstanding. I advised him to demolish the rooms in the office building and shrink the entrance of the company by two feet. Because of his pragmatic habits, he was reluctant to do it, so he delayed it for three years, and business was always bad. Later, after several old friends urged him to break the wall of his house, he reluctantly demolished it. As a result, the business improved. Three months later, he hurriedly changed the company's doors. From then on, he prospered all the way, opened up the African market, and later made a fortune. It's a pity that after getting rich, old friends rarely communicate with each other. Why did he delay demolishing the wall for three years? This is because his luck has not arrived yet. An old friend smashed the wall of his house to show that his "blessing" had arrived.
What’s even more amazing is that some people’s residential feng shui is affected by the evil spirits of roads or other buildings in the external environment, and their fortunes are unfavorable for many years. But when his fortune turns (about to receive blessings), the road outside the house will be moved to one side by the Public Works Bureau, or a tall building will be built in front to block the evil spirits, thus naturally improving the feng shui of the house.
Of course, there are many, many good Feng Shui that have turned into bad Feng Shui due to the construction of buildings, overpasses, roads, etc. outside.
All these changes of good and bad, good and bad, cannot go beyond the principle of "karma and retribution".
Therefore, "Feng Shui" is the superficial branches and leaves, and "Cause and Effect" is the inner root. "Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty was poor when he was young and later became an official. He was very filial and asked a Feng Shui expert to see his mother's grave. The Feng Shui expert said that his mother's grave was a "Jedi" and his family would cut off heirs and advised him to move. He said that since If I was to die, what would be the use of moving the grave? In addition, there was a famous Feng Shui treasure place in Suzhou at that time - Nanyuan. Fan Zhongyan was the prime minister and a native of Suzhou. , so many people advised him to buy Nanyuan and build it into a mansion, so that future generations could produce talents and become high-ranking officials.
Fan Zhongyan said that the scope for making a family rich was too small, so he bought Nanyuan and established the "Suzhou Academy", which trained many talents. After his death, his son Fan Chunren still became prime minister again, and talents emerged from generation to generation. In the 1980s, the overseas edition of "People's Daily" published that more than a hundred descendants of the Fan family living all over the world gathered in Taipei to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Fan Wenzhenggong's birth. Master Yinguang said that the Fan family has been prosperous for nearly a thousand years, which is the best proof that "a family that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed." It also shows that it has nothing to do with Feng Shui, because Feng Shui is tangible. How can Feng Shui remain unchanged despite the changes in the sea? The cause and effect are different, and they still work after hundreds of thousands of kalpas.
