All throughout my life, we as a family have been through lots of ups and downs, but the biggest test was my mother’s health. But I am beyond blessed in that Allah has showered upon me blessing after blessing after blessing - so much so that it managed to soothe my mother’s illness in a way. And that’s my biggest contentment - not the fact that I managed to achieve all those things, but that I managed to make my parents proud, because I am nobody without my parents! Yes, this Omar Mukhtar will only be just Omar Mukhtar without my beloved Mrs Mom and Mr Dad - my pillars of strength!
But behind this Omar Mukhtar is not only his parents. I am super blessed with a super loving little brother and sister, Fatimah and Ali, my grandparents, my uncles and my aunties, my cousins and my big family. We are blessed to have each other.
Other than my own family, I am also blessed with supportive friends. I’m glad that my circle of friends is not competing to be number 1, stepping on one another to be at the top, but we help each other become number 1 together. I’m fortunate to have them in my life cos we all keep inspiring one another towards goodness. We don’t just look out for number 1, but encourage each other in everything we do.
For example, the other night, within less than an hour after TEDx posted my talk on their Youtube channel, my friend instantly sent me a snapshot. Even though he’s not a TED fan, he took time to watch my talk and not only motivated me with his kind words, but celebrated with me. And that’s just one example; there are many more who were together with me all throughout my journey.
And of course, there’s you! Yes, each and every one of you who is reading this. I am also blessed to have all of you who always support me tirelessly. I can’t possibly thank all of you enough for your kindness and support. Only The Almighty could reward you enough.
Above all, behind this Omar Mukhtar are also his amazing teachers. I have been blessed with great teachers all throughout my school life. This is one of the many examples of the kind-heartedness of my teachers. Immediately after I finished my TEDx Talk, this teacher - who doesn’t actually even teach me in the first place - sent me an email to congratulate me for it. And the title of the email? "WOW!"
I mean, what more do you want from a teacher? The title is more than enough! And the whole event hadn’t even finished, yet here he was already emailing me about our next project. I couldn’t have asked for more. I am truly humbled by his support, and I’m very blessed to be surrounded with such enthusiastic teachers like him.
I don’t think I ever would have gotten this far in my school career without the pure care and support of my teachers. They are the ones who bring the best out of me, and for that, I owe them many thanks!
Alhamdulillah,
O. Mukhtar O. Mukhlis

《光明之心旺渡猴年》
To A Fortuitous Year of The Monkey (English version below)
很多很多的人,都對自己的命運,或來年的運程抱著一種「先睹為快」的心理。吾,玳瑚師父認為,這是可以理解的。問題是在於,妳你知道了妳你的命運,或來年的運程後,妳你可曉得,如何趨吉避凶、扭轉乾坤、反敗為勝嗎?又或者增旺自己的運勢,使之好上加好呢?還是「先睹為快」後,淒淒慘慘,慘慘淒淒呢?若然是這樣的話,妳你就得歸類迷信者了哦!
生肖屬猴、虎、豬、蛇者,請向妳你自己的師父(若有的話),請示要如何安奉當年太歲星君,以保流年身心、身體健康、事業順心、家庭合樂、道心堅固、智慧增長、投資安穩、大事化小、小事化無等等。一般人都不會及較少,在家中安奉當年太歲星君。因此,可到有供奉六十位太歲星君的廟宇拜太歲及點光明燈。禮拜太歲星君時,除了獻上供品、蠟燭紙金以外,千萬要記得虔心稱呼,值年的太歲星君啊!歲次丙申太歲星君叫管仲,在拜太歲時,妳你就虔心稱呼祂為「丙申年管仲太歲星君」,這樣妳你才真真正正,拜到那一位值年的太歲星君。
接下來就讓玳瑚師父,為妳你們「紙上談運」吧!生肖屬猴的妳你,在這猴年裡,凡事要加以忍耐、忍讓,退一步才可以海闊天空,且莫食喪家之物、送葬出殯宜避之、夜間場所勿流連、對於年邁的長者或親屬,應多加關懷與關注,她他們的身、心發展,以免真的給玳瑚師父「說中了」,妳你也不必對著她他們唱: 我是不是妳你最疼愛的人,妳你為什麼不說話?哈....! 若妳你正打算「東家不打,打西家」的話,吾勸妳你待明年再說吧!喜歡投資的妳你,則要小心陰溝裡翻船哦!今年應該不圖非份,「萬事如意」才可能在妳你身上應驗。
生肖屬虎的妳你,請勿暴飲暴食哦!不食喪家之物,也勿「自告奮勇」的奔喪,以免累己累人。今年家中乃「多事之秋」,心情忐忑不安、情緒波動,再所難免。但,還是要把家中長者照顧好,或許可免喪神入屋。今年亦是妳你忙碌的一年,轉工、搬家、旅遊,流年中必應驗,要不然就應驗在跌倒哦!請多加注意足下的「工具」,是否是良好的「狀況」。一切宜守不宜攻。
生肖屬豬的妳你,在六親眷屬的關係方面,應多加關注,敢敢做個有愛心的人,自然就能歡度此猴年了。工作、事業與投資,應按部就班地進行,風險自然化小。婚姻及感情生活,祗要不要執著一個「我」字,也就會融洽了。
至於生肖屬蛇的妳你,身邊的親人、愛人、朋友等等,有可能會「突然間不見掉」。真心誠意的對待與珍惜,是唯一的安撫靈藥。再加上「不在乎天長地久,祗在乎曾經擁有」這句「名言」,那就更能夠釋懷了。
其實犯太歲,並不祗是人而已。妳你的宅地的坐山及向首,妳你的公司,妳你的辦工桌,妳你家中的書桌、床位,每個隔間,都可能是在太歲的位置上,因此也就犯了太歲。無論是老、中、少或幼(嬰孩),犯之意外連連,生病破財是小事,不慎連命也陪了,對一般人而言,就非小事了。不妨禮請一位妳你信得過的師父,為妳你及家人,規劃妳你居家的風水,擁抱妳你生命中美好的每一天,根本無需提心吊膽、戰戰兢兢地過日子。若妳你從來都沒找過任何師父勘察妳你居家的風水,那就在今年吧!給妳你及家人,生命中最大的禮物,而且是最愛的禮物,來個「水濂洞中勝樂大,花果山上年年好」。猴塞磊(廣東話),哈....!快樂得不得了。
吾,玳瑚師父,在此溫馨提醒哦!在立春來臨前,就好去拜太歲了哦!可別等或拖到清明,或農曆七月才去拜哦!因為這兩個節日,是讓人們上山掃墓祭祖,及拜俗稱的「好兄弟」的哦!若立春妳你所謂的錯過了,可請妳你信得過的師父,依妳你的生辰四柱,在農曆初一至十五日間,擇吉日良辰去拜太歲,那是很棒的拜太歲法之一。祝:大家「猴塞磊」哈....!
相信大家對「近水樓臺先得月」這句話,應該不會太陌生吧!如果妳你還是有些陌生的話,那「投其所好」,應該有聽聞過了吧!如果還是陌生的話,那看來妳你真的是....。丙申年管仲太歲星君,乃是位熱愛行善、佈施、教育、為善不落人後的神明。因此,妳你若要祂特別「注意」、「守護」、「關照」妳你的話,今年妳你就要比往年,更積極、更勤勞地行種種善,打個比方說;放生戒殺、助印、印施善書、開口勸善、捐錢建寺廟、撥款振災、關注及協助社會不幸的一群,等等。
天天做,天天增。增什麼?增福增慧、增資糧。當中也含蓋了改善命運的利益,天天不計較時間、不計較金錢、不計較體力、不計較工作量的多寡,持之以恆地做下去,很快的就會產生一種力量,無與倫比的力量,可改命可改運。反之,存有計較的心,那妳你所做的,就不能、也無法產生光明。沒有光明之心的「善行」,就不可能「投其所好」,妳你的心和太歲星君的心,始終扣不上,今年妳你諸多的願,就變成了天馬行空。什麼意思?泡湯了!
-------------------------
There are countless number of people who cannot wait to take a "sneak preview" into their future. Master Dai Hu thinks that this mentality is not without reasons. The problem lies in this: after you have had a glimpse of what your destiny hold, or what would be your fortunes in this coming year, would you know how to usher in the good luck and evade the bad ones? Would you know how to turn a disastrous situation around and emerge as the eventual winner? Or would you be able to ride on the waves of good fortune for an even better outcome? Would it be the case that after you had known what lies ahead, that you fall into depression and self-pity? If this is true for you, then I would say you belong to the category of superstitious people!
For those of you born under the Chinese zodiac sign of the Monkey, Tiger, Pig and Snake, please seek advice from your Master, if you do have one, on how to seek blessings from the Grand Duke of Jupiter of the year to ensure well-being in your physical and emotional health, career, family and investments, faith in your spiritual cultivation, growth in wisdom, and that the magnitude of all disasters be minimized or reduced to none. Most people do not or rarely worships the Grand Duke of Jupiter at home. So you can visit temples that enshrine the 60 Dukes of Jupiter to pay your respect and make a light offering. When you are paying respect to the Duke of Jupiter, with the offerings, candles and joss papers, please remember to address Him with all your sincerity and faith. In the coming Lunar year of the Fire Monkey, the Grand Duke of Jupiter is addressed as "Guan Zhong". You should formally address Him as the "Grand Duke of Jupiter of the Fire Monkey Year, Guan Zhong". In this way, you can be sure that your prayer goes to the correct Grand Duke of Jupiter.
Now please allow Master Dai Hu to talk about your fortunes, on paper at least! If you are born under the Chinese zodiac sign of the Monkey, please exercise more tolerance in the coming year of the Monkey. Taking a step back will often lead to clear skies. Please do not consume any food from anyone with recently-deceased family members, and refrain from attending funerals and funeral processions. Stay away from places of leisure which operate in the night time.
For the elderly at home, please watch out and show concern for their health and mental well-being as Master Dai Hu does not want to be spot on with his words. I am sure you would not want to be singing, "Am I not the one you loved most? Why are you not talking to me?" Ha!
If you have any thought of changing employer, I would advise you to hold off the plan for another year. For those of you who love to invest, please exercise caution so as not to get caught out by unexpected situations! Do not go after wild ambitions this year so that you can have a smooth and fulfilling year ahead.
For those born under the Chinese zodiac sign of the Tiger, refrain from overeating! Do not consume food from anyone with recently-deceased family members, and avoid any misguided bravery in attending funerals. This will bring harm to yourself and others around you. Unavoidably, this year is going to be a season of troubled times, often with plenty of unease and emotional upheavals. However, please take extra care of the elderly at home to ward off any visit by the Angel of Death. This is a very hectic year for you with plenty of activities in your career moves, change of residences, as well as travels. If these things do not happen, the year's fortune will take on another appearance: you will risk suffering from falls! So please inspect your footwear to ensure they are in good condition! Every plan this year should be set to defensive mode, instead of invasive.
For those born under the Chinese zodiac sign of the Pig, please treat your relationships with your family and kin with extra care, and be bold to shower more love towards them, so that the Year of the Monkey will be a happy journey for you. As for your career and investment, do not deviate from your plans so as to minimize your risks. In your marriage and relationships, let go of the notion of "self", and all will be nice and harmonious.
As for those of you born under the Chinese zodiac sign of the Snake, your family relations, your lover and friends, etc, may "suddenly disappear" from your life. The only way to seek comfort from this is to treat them sincerely and cherish the affinities with them. Remember this famous saying, "It may not last forever, but at least you had the moments. " and you will come to a closure with it.
In actual fact, it is not only human beings that come into conflict with the Grand Duke of the Jupiter. Your residence, specifically its sitting and facing directions, your office premises, your work desk, your study desk at home, your bed, and every individual room can be in conflict with the Grand Duke of Jupiter. No matter your age, even if you are a baby, you will encounter accidents, illness, and loss of wealth if you are in conflict with the Grand Duke of Jupiter. But these are small matters. In more serious cases, your life may be in danger.
There is no harm to engage a Feng Shui Master whom you can trust to conduct a Feng Shui audit at your home, for the sake of your family and yourself. Embrace every beautiful day in your life. There is no need to live each day in trepidation and fear. If you have not engaged any Feng Shui master for your home before, make it this year! Let this be your perfect gift to yourself and your family, a gift of great significance and love, and create a haven of bliss and years of prosperity! Ha! How joyous that will be!
Master Dai Hu would like to sound out a gentle reminder: please pay your respect to the Grand Duke of Jupiter before Li Chun, the beginning of Spring. Do not wait until the Qing Ming Festival or the Lunar Seventh Month before you fulfill this important task. The Qing Ming Festival and the Lunar Seventh Month are meant for paying respects to our ancestors and the wandering spirits, commonly known as the "good brothers"! If you had missed the Li Chun date, you may request a Master you can trust to select an auspicious date and time, based on your birth chart, to pay your respect to the Grand Duke of Jupiter any time between the First Day and the Fifteenth Day of the First Lunar Month. This is an excellent way to pay your respect to the Grand Duke of Jupiter. I wish everybody an awesome Year of the Monkey!
The Grand Duke of Jupiter, Guan Zhong, for the Year of the Fire Monkey, is a God who is passionate about performing virtuous deeds, generous giving, education and always the first in line when it comes to kind deeds. Therefore, if you would like Him to take notice of you, to protect and take care of you, you should therefore be more enthusiastic and diligent than the years before to perform virtuous deeds. For examples, refrain from killing lives, liberate lives, sponsor the printing and distribution of virtuous books, speak to encourage virtuous behaviour, donate to build temples and towards disaster relief funds, show care and give assistance for the less fortunate, etc.
Consistent action on a daily basis yields consistent gains. What do you gain? Your merits, fortunes, wisdom and resources increase. In the midst of this lies the enormous benefit of altering your destiny for the better. Do not be calculative in your time, money, bodily effort, and volume of work. Press on day by day, consistently, and soon, you will witness the emergence of a powerful force that is unprecedented, one that can turn your life and fortune around! On the other hand, if you live with a calculative mindset, all that you have done will not invoke the radiant Light, without which your supposedly virtuous deeds can never be aligned with the Grand Duke of Jupiter. Ultimately, there is still a distance between your heart and His, and your many wishes and hopes for this year are just a figment of your imagination. What do I mean by that? I mean you can kiss your dreams goodbye!

【玳瑚師父玄學論】《屋如其人,人如其屋》
The Fate of Yours and Your Abode Mirrored Each Other (English version below)
「屋如其人,人如其屋」,是所有學相地、相宅的人,必需要懂且深明的。要不然,任你妳學堪輿一輩子,也不會有所成就,也祇不過是自欺欺人而已。
我們看一間房屋,必須得將它「同人看待」。人有生辰四柱、童年、少年、青年、壯年、老年、健時、病時、身、臉、手、腳、眼、眉、鼻、耳、口、心、肝、脾、肺、腎,等等。每一間房屋,同樣都有這些。而這些與我們住進這單位,所發生的事情如:身體健康出狀況、事業不順、婚姻生活、子女學業、男女桃花、投資失利、創業失敗,等等等,有著莫大的關係。是勝是敗、是喜是憂、是聚是散、是合是離、是盛是衰、是榮是休、是強是弱、是福是貴、是美是醜、那就要看你妳,到底懂不懂「屋如其人,人如其屋」了。不懂還好,最怕是不懂裝懂,永遠飯桶。哈!哈!哈!
玳瑚師父就舉幾個,運用「屋如其人,人如其屋」的知識,解除客人所面對的困難之列子,供君參考。有位大媽粉絲見吾時,說其先生在公司裏,出現一些狀況,問吾有否對策。吾根據其先生畫出的公司「格局」,精心加細心地為他佈了個「強而有力」的風水陣,並胸有成竹地告訴他,等著好消息吧!不到一個月,他笑嘻嘻地告訴我,功效非常顯著。其實這位先生,原本是不信風水命理的。最近他親口向吾說,他現在信了,也開始向吾學佛。
有位學生在國際公司上班。來上課的時候,不時都有向吾「吐苦水」。為了讓他安心地學佛,也讓他不要這麼快失去飯碗,吾就請他畫出,他在公司裏的辦公室,然後非常用心地為他佈局。到目前為止,吾已從他口中,聽了至少兩次,他在公司裏已躲過很多次的「箭」。但願他拿出真本領,而不是常常「躲箭」。哈!哈!哈!
有位婦女患有腳疾,吾在她所屬的方位佈局,不久她親口告訴吾,她多年的腳疾已好了很多,逛街時也無須常找地方歇著。你妳祇要識得「屋如其人,人如其屋」,這些都不是問題。

The concept of our fates being a mirror to that of our houses (and vice versa) is a must-know for all Feng Shui practitioners. They must have a deep grasp of it, otherwise there is no achievement to speak of despite spending your life years learning the art of Feng Shui. You would only be deceiving yourself and others.
When we view a house, we must see it as if we are looking at a human being. A person has his birth details, childhood, teenage years, youth, adulthood, middle age, old age, period of good health, period of illness. He has a body, face, arms, legs, eyes, brows, nose, ears, mouth, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidney, etc. Likewise, a house has similar traits just like a person. Situations that develop when we are living in a house relate closely to the concept that the state of the house mirrors your fate.
Examples of situations:
- health issues
- troubled careers and marriages
- academic performance of the children
- romance fortunes
- failed investments and businesses
- etc.
How our fortune will evolve, be it victorious or failure, happiness or sadness, in union or separation, prosperous or declining, strong or weak, wealthy or prestigious, beautiful or hideous, will all depend on your understanding of how the fate of the house mirrors our own. It is alright to be ignorant as it is better than pretending you know it all!
Here are a few examples of how I applied this concept to solve the woes of clients. A female client told me that her husband got into a fix at his workplace. She asked me for a solution. After carefully looking at a hand drawn layout plan of her husband's office, I painstakingly devised a powerful Feng shui formation for her husband. I told her very confidently to wait for news of good tidings! Indeed, in less than a month after heeding my advice, the husband, full of smiles, told me that the Feng Shui formation has worked its wonders! This gentleman did not believe in Feng Shui prior to this incident, but he recently told me that he is now a believer and has even started to learn the Dharma from me.
A student, working in a multinational company, complained to me about his work from time to time. In order for him to have a peace of mind to continue learning the Dharma, as well as to safeguard his job, I got him to hand draw the layout of his office. I then studied it conscientiously and advised him the locations to set up favourable Feng Shui formations for him. Up till today, I had heard him mentioned twice, at least, that he managed to avert "arrows" coming his way. Well, let us hope that he will display his real capability at work, instead of just avoiding "arrows". Ha ha ha!
There was this lady with a foot ailment, and I set up a Feng Shui formation at her representative sector in her house. Not long after, she told me personally that the foot ailment, which has been bothering her for years, had been greatly alleviated. The ailment had hampered her shopping trips as she had to constantly rest her legs.
Once you have grasped the concept that the of your house mirrored yours, and vice versa, these issues are no longer a problem.
