【玳瑚師父課室】《第46場回顧：旺得福聖誕餐會》
46TH RECAP: “A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS” LEARNING SESSION (English version below)

妳你有改命的決心嗎？

可是，妳你懂得尊敬她他人和自己嗎？還是覺得有免費的東西，不拿白不拿？

玳瑚師父於2018年12月24日，舉辦了眾人期待已久的餐會，第46場《旺得福聖誕餐會》。

餐會前，有參與者送上聖誕卡與花束，祝賀師父佳節愉快。餐會後亦有出席者拿玳瑚師父的新書《向善向上2 - 漫畫版》請師父簽名。

師父的餐會不收分文，一向爲他臉書專頁忠實按讚的讀者粉絲們而辦。但每次依然會有報名者，沒有閱讀，沒有按讚，也想趁機來得到師父免費的風水命理知識。

曾有一位報名者，怒氣沖沖地責問：「你要求人家讀那麽多，合理嗎？！」

也有一位沒得來的報名者說：「我自己的業，我自己背。」

其實，沒有要求。貼文中也有註明：餐會本來就是給玳瑚師父，回饋每篇都有閱讀按讚的粉絲讀者們。師父的文章有很多做人的道理，如果沒有看就已經不算善待自己，又怎麼有福份得到師父的幫助呢？

沒有付出行動，也談不上支持玳瑚師父的文宣，就想得到免費幫助，可又合情合理呢？

有位出席者曾被師父列入黑名單。因爲2017年夏天的一場餐會之前，他要求盡早接到通知，才能叫母親不煮他的飯，卻依然遲到，被拒於門外，不得參加餐會。遲到的原因是他在家裡吃飯，時間遲了，有能力卻不想花錢搭德士，依然搭巴士，在最後一刻才通知，事後也沒有主動親自向師父道歉。

當時，師父未到會場時，就已預知助理，這位男士會遲到，因為有錢卻依然要省錢，所以選擇遲到。師父告知助理，這等人無法改命，因此收到簡訊時，就直接不要給他來。

師父對於出席者的要求是：有改命的決心，也肯尊重他人。因此，禮貌和準時本來就應該兼有的。

一年半後，師父允許他出席平安夜的餐會，因爲他找師父已許久，該給一次機會，也可應證師父最初看他相的準確性。果真，他見到師父時，並沒有第一時間走過來打招呼和道歉，依然需要師父弟子的提醒。

守株待兔等待貴人時，別忘了，貴人也有很多人在追，沒有誰是應該幫誰的。

餐會精彩摘要：

（A）平安三部曲 - 內心的平安

一、師父請大家說出對「平安」這兩個字的看法。

二、師父對「平常心」的解析：
。一切都在適當的運作上
。不要過份的貪圖妄想，
。量力而爲就能得平穩
。人與人之間不要鬥爭，不要爭奪，不要有歹念，不要佔別人的便宜。

三、我們要學習宇宙的運作，爲何春天會花開，夏天會結果，秋天會凋零，冬天會冬眠？

四、爲何身體是一切的開始？

五、有分別心就會有敵人。玳瑚師父心中沒有不喜歡的人，他永遠都會選擇接受，因爲他心中只有愛，沒有敵人。

（B）平安三部曲 - 屋子的平安

六、屋子對，風水對，心情自然會好，賺錢又多，一定平安

七、哪五種建築物是噩夢的開始？

八、大門的前景如何決定我們的「錢」途平安？

九、出席者李承修先生現場分享：

2017年至2018年裡，他出席師父免費活動至少十四次。師父看他年輕，就幫他一把，在2018年的拜天公活動時，師父送他一個祭拜過的供品，問：「師父賜大福給你，要不要？」

李承修先生點頭說要，便雙手接過師父賜予他的供品，並感謝師父。他得到師父無數的風水貼士和自身增運法後，積極的去進行。他的電子商務從幾乎零營業額，到今年收入增加到令人驚訝的數字！

十、問：堅強的意志力不可以超越壞風水的影響力嗎？

師父答：人不可能那麽厲害。凡夫有很多的問題，心裡很複雜，因此會產生很多的負能量。祇有修行人才能超越，因此自己不能做到的，就應該去請一個能做到的師父。

十一、問：大門外就看到另一戶，好嗎？

十二、爲何玳瑚師父不推崇用水晶改命？

十三、屋子和我們健康的關聯

十四、如何選最適合自己的飯桌

十五、請不到好的風水師父，如何自己選屋子？

十六、2019年如何催旺家中財位？

（C）平安三部曲 - 自身的平安

十七、玳瑚師父分析眾人的氣色

十八、男人犯淫如何影響旺氣？

十九、精神 - 「精」與「神」的關聯

二十、有錢了，不要自己吃，發達了，也要幫助別人。

（D）玳瑚師父現場看風水

二十一、有方案，沒魄力的男人如何看？

二十二、有再大的抱負，爲何還是敗給差勁的臥房風水？

二十三、原來五行的運用決定我們的盛衰！

二十四、這種房屋，有如一個戰場：主吵架、沒錢、犯陰煞！

等等等。

我們的年齡祇會一年一年的加，不會一年一年的減少。風水，能夠把一個機會變成一百個機會。玳瑚師父不是叫大家貪心，但是在這個世界，沒有錢是萬萬不可以的。玳瑚師父與出席者們開玩笑說：「我希望每個人都生活安逸，這樣你們就不會向我借錢。」

師父提醒男出席者們：男人介紹自己時，要有力，不要柔柔弱弱，聽不到聲音。但也要記得，男人的威風，在於有本事又能幹，而不是叫你用你的力氣去打女人、欺負女人。

平安的定義在於妳你的心境。我們都要去接受每個人，去想每個人都有她他的長處。當我們能夠把自己的心打開時，就是我們真正去迎接「平安」的時候了。

.....................

Do you have the resolve to change your destiny?

However, do you know how to respect others and yourself? Or do you think that if something is available for free, you would be a fool for not grabbing it?

On the night of Christmas Eve, 24 December 2018, Master Dai Hu conducted the much anticipated 46th Learning Session, A Wonderful Christmas.

Before it commenced, a participant gave Master a bouquet of lilies and a Christmas card, wishing him happy holidays. At the end of it, there were also participants who sought Master's autograph for his new comic book, Towards Kindness, Towards Betterment.

Master Dai Hu had never charged a single cent for his learning sessions. They were always conducted to repay his loyal fans, who dutifully read his FB posts and tapped Like for every single one of them. However, there will be still applicants, who neither read nor tap like for the posts, wanting to attend the free Learning Sessions and benefit from Master Dai Hu's Chinese Metaphysics knowledge.

One rejected applicant texted, "I will bear the consequences of my own karma."

Another applicant angrily asked, "Is it logical that you expect people to read so many of your posts?!"

Actually, there is no expectation. It is already clearly stated in the FB notice: the Learning Sessions are meant to benefit Master Dai Hu's devoted readers and fans, who read his FB posts and tapped Like for every single one of them.

There are sensible life truths in Master Dai Hu's posts. If you do not read them, you can't be considered as a person who treat yourself with benevolence. In this case, how will you have the good fortune to receive the help of Master Dai Hu?

If you did not invest any effort, and do not support Master Dai Hu's writings, yet you still wish to get his help for free, how is that reasonable and logical?

One participant was blacklisted by Master Dai Hu previously. He was due to attend one session in the summer of 2017. Before that, he requested for an early notification, so that he could inform his mother not to cook dinner for him. However, he still arrived late and was denied entry.

His reason for his lateness was him wanting to save money. He ate dinner at home and took the bus, despite running late and having the financial ability to take a taxi. He sent a late notice and did not personally apologise to Master Dai Hu for his tardiness.

Before Master Dai Hu reached the venue, he had already informed his assistant that this gentleman would be late by choice as he was a miser, and hence, chose not to spend when necessary. Master Dai Hu remarked that a man of such caliber made a poor candidate for destiny transformation, and preempted the assistant to turn him away when he would text later.

Master Dai Hu's prerequisite to all participants has always been:

* Have the tenacity to turn your destiny around
* be able to respect others

Therefore, good manners and punctuality are definitely traits that one should have.

1.5 year later, Master Dai Hu gave permission for this gentleman to attend the Christmas Eve's Learning Session. Reason being, he had been trying to contact Master Dai Hu for quite some time, and it was time to give him a chance. Secondly, the meeting would also validate Master Dai Hu's accuracy in reading his facial features.

True indeed, when the gentleman saw Master Dai Hu, he failed to take any initiative to introduce himself, greet Master, or offered his apology. He had to be reminded by Master's disciple before doing it.

When we are passively guarding a tree-stump, waiting for a benefactor to stroll by, don't forget that the same benefactor is also pursued by many other people, who bother to show the initiative. Nobody is obligated to help anybody.

Learning Session Highlights:

（A）TRILOGY TO BEING SAFE & SOUND - #1 INNER MIND

1. Master Dai Hu invited everybody to share what being safe and sound meant to them

2. Master Dai Hu explained the term 平常心 (a calm mind):
- Everything function in an appropriate order
- No excessive coveting and wishful thinking
- Live within your means and you will achieve stability
- Do not fight with others, do not contend with others
- Do not harbour evil intentions.
- Do not take advantage of others.

3. We must learn the ways the Universe operate. Why do flowers bloom in Spring, fruits are borne in Summer, the leaves wilt in Autumn, and hibernation take place in Winter?

4. Why does everything begin from our bodies?

5. To have a discriminating heart is to have enemies. In the heart of Master Dai Hu, there is nobody that he dislikes. He always choose to accept, because there is only love in his heart and no enmity.

（B）TRILOGY TO BEING SAFE & SOUND - #2 HOME

6. When the house is right, the Feng Shui is right, your mood will naturally be great and so will your income level.

7. Which 5 types of buildings are the beginning of your nightmares?

8. How does the front view of our main door decide the safety and soundness of our money future?

9. A participant, Mr Lee Cheng Xiu, shared his live testimony:

Between 2017 and 2018, he attended 14 of Master Dai Hu's free learning sessions. Master Dai Hu decided to give him a helping hand, upon seeing how young he was. In 2018's prayers to the Supreme Jade Emperor, Master Dai Hu gave Mr Lee an offering from the prayer session and asked, "I bestow great fortune to you. Do you want it?"

Mr Lee Cheng Xiu nodded his head and said he wanted, before receiving the offering with both hands and saying thank you. He received countless Feng Shui advice and self luck booster suggestions, and diligently implemented Master's advice. His ecommerce revenue increased dramatically from almost zero sales to a shocking figure this year.

10. Question: Can strong willpower surmount the influence of a bad Feng Shui?

Master Dai Hu's reply: It is impossible for a mere mortal to have this ability. Man has many problems and a complicated mind. These produce many negative energies. Only an accomplished spiritual cultivator is able to triumph the effects of a bad Feng Shui. Hence, when you are unable to do it, you should seek the help of a Master who can do it.

11. Question: When your main door faces the main door of another household, is it ideal?

12. Why does Master Dai Hu discourage the use of crystals in destiny transformation?

13. The correlation between our homes and our health

14. How to choose a dining table most suitable for ourselves

15. If you are unable to engage a good Feng Shui master, how can you choose a suitable house?

16. In 2019, how do you activate the store of wealth in your home?

（C）TRILOGY TO BEING SAFE & SOUND - #2 SELF

17. Master Dai Hu analysed the facial auras of participants.

18. How does sexual misconduct affect the prosperity of men?

19. The Chinese term 精神 - the correlation between 精 and 神

20. When you have the money, do not eat it all by yourself. When you strike it rich, you must help others.

（D）MASTER DAI HU LIVE FENG SHUI AUDITS

21. How do you tell that this man has plans but lack the drive and boldness to carry them through?

22. Why is a great ambition defeated by lousy bedroom Feng Shui?

23. So this is how the application of the five elements determine our victories and defeats!

24. A house formation like this is like a live battlefield - daily quarrels, lack of money, Yin afflictions.

etc.

Our age will only increase year by year, and not the other way. Feng Shui has the ability to transform a single opportunity into a hundred more. Master Dai Hu is not encouraging everybody to be greedy, but in this world of form, it is impossible to live without money. Master Dai Hu cracked a joke with the participants, "I hope for everyone to have a comfortable life, so that you won't end up having to borrow money from me."

Master Dai Hu also reminded the male participants: When a man introduces himself, there must be strength in his words and never to speak weakly or softly. But bear in mind that a man is deemed impressive when he is capable and competent, not when he uses his strength to beat a woman or bully the fairer sex.

The definition of 平安 (being safe and sound) lies in your state of mind. We must be able to accept everybody, and think of their good points. The moment we can open up our hearts will be when we can truly receive 平安 .

《米桶發財法》(English version below)
STRIKING RICH WITH THE RICE BIN

年少時，吾突然意思到，吾的身段似乎「過於苗條」了，是時候讓它「蓬勃發展」。一來，能保護身邊的人，二來，在整體上，較爲健康，較爲好看些。於是，吾在食量上加倍，向同班同學借來一對九公斤重的啞鈴，勤做仰臥起坐、伏地挺身，以及使用其他運動器材。這些是吾室內強身健體的部份。至於室外的部份，較常較多的當屬游泳了。當年吾最喜用蛙式與蝶式，且每一次來回，喜「上岸」做仰臥起坐，及伏地挺身。吾不敢說吾的身材有多好多好，可確實有男女稱讚過，也起碼沒有多餘的贅肉。

除了室內室外的強身健體以外，吾還有一種獨特增強體魄的方法，那就是扛米。是的，妳你們沒聽錯，吾也沒搞錯。家父是位智慧型的嚴父，對他真的是又敬又怕。有一天吾鼓起勇氣，向他說吾想去幫家裡買米，他卻微笑的應允。這也是吾降生娑婆世間，首次體驗十公斤重，左右手各扛五公斤米的滋味。再加上那段路段來回，彷彿心中有首非常著名的詩在吟著，那即是：

鋤禾日當午，
汗滴禾下土。
誰知盤中餐，
粒粒皆辛苦。（一笑）

這種滋味實在是有夠勁！回到家時，家父依然微笑以對。雖然這初次買米的覺受，既新鮮又「夠勁」，吾並沒有退縮的心念，吾認爲這是很好的回報機會，也確實達於強健體魄。

吾，玳瑚師父，忠心祝願大家智慧增長，能辨別真偽，破除邪說歪道，無有恐怖，無顛倒妄想，快樂自在，究竟離苦。好些著重於外表的人，爲了擁有曼妙的身段，得以達於人衣合一的境界，（一笑）破釜沉舟式「棄米投美」，尤其是女有情眾。事實是她們不懂米，對於人體的益處。米是含著天上的甘露，地中的靈氣而生，是人類生存能量重要的來源。它可用來解毒、除煞、化煞、開光、治病、美容、護膚等等。很多女性瘦身減肥後，成功後身體卻有恙，原因雖有幾個，但不離因沒食米飯。潮州多出美女是事實，潮州美女的特徵在鳳眼膚白。爲什麼？因爲潮州人多以粥，及清蒸食物爲飲食習慣。米所含之豐富礦物質，乃人體所需重要礦物質。

米的種類有多種，一般我們較常看見的有，珍珠米、印度米、泰國香米、糙米、糯米，等等。這些米種皆有它們各自所屬之五行。若妳你確實清楚，妳你本身所需之喜用神，妳你可以選購旺妳你的米種，天天食之天天旺。這招本是發財的第一步，如此簡單如此實惠，可憐愚夫愚婦迷信不通，花巨額亂搞瞎搞的，搞了精疲力盡，始終搞慘自己及家人。如今吾，玳瑚師父，憐憫眾生而傳授此法，願得者利己亦利她他，多積陰德才好。買對了米，就將米用木質米桶裝起，再貼上一個滿字於米桶外。這是發財第二招。若妳你想將米桶置於櫥櫃的外上方，就請妳你將米桶隔離窗口，較聚氣處爲好。這是發財第三招。米桶發財法，人人能做，家家戶戶能做。豐衣足食的日子，已不遠啦！

............................

When I was still a youth, one day, I suddenly realized that I was perhaps too thin and it was time to beef up my physique. Firstly, I would be able to protect the people around me, and also look better and healthier on the whole. Thus, I increased my food intake, borrowed a pair of 9kg dumbbells from my classmate, diligently did push-ups and sit-ups, as well as used other exercising equipment. These were my indoor exercises. As for my outdoor activities, I mostly and frequently did swimming. My favorite strokes in the pool then were breast-stroke and the butterfly stroke. After every lap, I liked to get onto dry land and do sit-ups and push-ups. I dare not say how great my body was, however I did received praises from other men and women. At the very least, I did not have excess fat hanging off me.

Besides those indoor and outdoor body-building activities, I also had a special training method: carry rice sacks. Yes, you heard it correct. My father was an intelligent but strict disciplinarian, and I was often afraid yet in awe of him. One day, I summoned my courage and told him that I would like to help buy rice for the household. He agreed with a slight smile. Ever since my birth into this Samsara world, this was my first time experiencing the weight of lifting 10kg rice, with my left and right hands carrying 5kg respectively. Coupled with the journey to and fro, a famous Chinese poem seemed to sing from my heart:

Neath the midday sun he hoes his crops
His sweat moistens the soil between the stalks
Of food on the table who recalls
Each grain is produced through bitter toil

This experience was indeed something! As I got home, my dad still greeted me with a slight smile. Although my first experience of buying rice was refreshing and tough, I did not have any thought of backing off. I considered it as a good opportunity to repay my parents, and to strengthen my physique at the same time.

Master Dai Hu sincerely wish that everyone would gain wisdom and discern the true from the false, destroy evil speech and dishonest practices, not have fear and deranged delusions, have bliss and freedom and finally leave the realm of sufferings. There are many people who place a huge self-importance on their physical appearance. To have a graceful figure so as to reach the level of being one with their clothing, (laughs), they would burn their boats and forsake eating rice, all in the name of beauty. This is especially common among the ladies. The fact is that these ladies do not understand the benefits of eating rice for the human body.

The rice grain is birthed from the dew of Heaven and the spiritual qi of earth. It is an important source of survival energy for humans. It can serve as an antidote to poison, for removal and transformation of vile energies, consecration, curing of illnesses, beauty care, skincare, etc. After losing weight successfully, many ladies get stricken with ailments. Although there are several reasons to this, it is not far from not consuming rice. The city of Chao Zhou is famed for producing beauties, renowned for their distinctive elegant and almond-shaped eyes and porcelain skins. Why is that so? Because rice porridge and steamed food are staple foods of the people in Chao Zhou. The rice minerals prevalent in rice are vital minerals that the human body needs.

There are numerous types of rice, with the commonly seen grains like the pearl rice, Indian basmati rice, the Thai jasmine rice, brown rice, glutinous rice, etc. These various grains each have their own elemental types. If you are very clear about your favourable elements in your Bazi, you can purchase the suitable grain type, to gain prosperity everyday through your daily consumption. This is the first technique to striking great wealth. It is simple yet brings practical benefits. I pity the misbelieving men and women, who spent huge money only to act ignorantly, get drained of energy, and at the end, brought nothing but trouble to themselves and their families.

Today, I, Master Dai Hu, impart this method out of compassion for the sentient beings, and hope that those who benefits pay it forward to accumulate more hidden merits. After purchasing the right type of grains, store it in a wooden rice bin, and paste a paper, with the Chinese character "滿" written on it, onto the bin exterior. This is the second technique to more riches.

If you wish to place the rice bin on top of a cabinet, please place it away from the window, even better if it is at a spot that can accumulate Qi. This is the third step to greater wealth. This method of striking riches with your rice bin is applicable for everyone and every household. Get ready to welcome the days of great harvest and rice clothing!

《花木寶典》(English version below)
THE TREASURE BOOK OF FLOWERS & PLANTS

大概二十年前，吾結識了一位林姓花店老闆，因爲他的原故，吾才會有這難得的機會，一親花木的芳澤。吾，玳瑚師父，不否認對花很有好感。其實不祇是花，樹與草吾也都同樣有好感。雖然我們無法將郊外的花草樹木「搬」進去我們的家宅，但是我們可以將我們的住處，佈置成有花草樹木的覺受。打個比方說：在客廳面向入口處的牆上，掛上一幅有花有草有樹的畫。餐桌上放盆花卉，如：鬱金香、百合花、向日葵、蘭花等等。單憑這四種花，已是非常讚了。因它們象徵著婷婷玉立、百年好合、朝氣蓬勃、富貴端莊等等。但，必須是真花哦！除非妳你不介意虛情假意的感情。（一笑）

堪輿學是什麼？堪輿學是一門甚深的環境學。是能夠利樂一切諸有情的上上之學。有志於利樂眾生事業的人，應該參研參研，功德巍巍啊！就算妳你胸無此大志，懂得皮毛已可獲得，生活中的大益。在現今的組屋城市裡，我們雖生活在文明繁榮的國度裡，但人與人之間，相互的情感聯絡，卻已到了急診狀態。那是爲何因？因爲過多的鋼筋水泥，會導致人走向固執不通，寡情寡意。而花草樹木則能使人走向溫馨，愉悅及有情。有情就能夠生旺，無情則衰敗。從家庭到社會，再從社會到國家，影響之大真是不堪設想啊！

在眾多植物中，金錢樹、觀音竹、富貴樹、琴葉榕、巴西鐵樹等等，都是吾幫眾生造福時，喜推薦的擋煞增旺的植物。其實吾特別喜歡一種植物，那就是松柏樹是也。吾特別喜歡，乃是樹對大小環境，皆能添加綠意美化之。亦能加持富貴、文昌、天喜、華麗、莊嚴，等等。而吾多年遊走國內外，爲眾生造福時發現，凡有松柏樹的地方，必有富貴人家。當然，這必須得視松柏樹的高低、大小、青翠與否、茂盛與否、莊嚴與否，來判斷財丁名。吾自認福氣實不小。十八年前，榮幸的受邀幫助一戶人家，因此因緣見到非常莊嚴的兩盆松柏樹。這戶人家雖住政府組屋，可它內部裝潢，卻是貴氣逼人，是吾勘察過的政府組屋中，非常有氣派的一間。另外一個主要原因，是她他們家中有位非一般的貴客，那就是密宗黃教尊貴資糧主，黃財神是也。此尊黃財神金身，亦是到目前爲止，吾還未見過比之更莊嚴的。

其實，一間陽宅周圍的花草樹木，已伏藏著所住的人之健康貧富、吉凶禍福、妻財子祿。越是高明的堪輿師，越能一眼識破，越能有能力禳解之。所以這麼多年來，吾常苦口婆心的勸請男女有情，選購房屋勿草率，勿盲從，要不然將來妳你所要承受的損失，不是短期的，而是一輩子的。有這麼嚴重嗎？一個原本快樂圓滿的家庭，出現一個生瘤患癌的成員，患者本身的身體與心靈受創，家裡也會愁雲密佈啊！堪輿學本是山川的大智慧，本是很深的環境學。風光明媚的景色，優美的環境，必定造就才子佳人、身心康樂。購屋是要擇地的，購屋是要細察周圍的地形與地物的。奇形怪物的環境，千千萬萬不要住下。房屋前後左右不可有兩種不一樣的菓樹，也不可有有刺的植物。切記！切記！這《花木寶典》的誕生，是天下眾生的福音啊！

......................

About 20 years ago, I got to know the boss of a floral shop, Mr Lim. It was because of him, I had the rare opportunity to appreciate the beauty of flowers and plants. I, Master Dai Hu, do not deny that I am fond of flowers. In fact, it is not just flowers. I take a shine to trees and grass as well. Although we are unable to move the greenery from the countryside into our homes, we can decorate our place to give out the vibe of greenery in nature. For example, you can hang a picture of flowers, grass and trees in your living room facing the entrance. You can also place a pot of flowers, such as tulips, lilies, sun flowers, orchids, etc, on your dining table. Just these four types of flowers alone are already very wonderful, because they symbolize elegance, a long and harmonious life, vigour, prosperity and dignity, etc. However, they must be be real flowers! Unless you don't mind hypocrisy and false affections in your relationship. (laughs)

What is Feng Shui? It is a very deep body of knowledge about our environment. This superior knowledge can bring immense benefits to all sentient beings. For those of you aspiring to bring joy and relief to sentient beings, you ought to delve deep into this subject. That will be a very virtuous act! Even if you do not have big aspirations, knowing a little about Feng Shui can also bring huge benefits to your own life. In the city landscape of HDB flats that we are in today, the nobility and importance of flowers and plants become more prominent.

Despite us living in a civilized and prosperous country, the emotional interaction between people has deteriorated to a level that calls for emergency treatment. Why is that so? Because excessive use of cement and metal structures will cause people to become more obstinate and cold-hearted. On the other hand, flowers and plants can lead people towards warmth, joy and affection. When there is affection, there will be prosperity. Without affection, we will suffer decline. This situation can spread from a family unit, to the society and to the entire country. The impact of this is so great that it is unthinkable!

When I helped sentient beings to create good fortune, among the many plants, I have favourably recommended these to enhance prosperity and negate vile energies: Zamioculcas, Bambusa multiplex, Guilfoyle polyscias, Fiddle leaf fig, Dracaena fragrans etc. Actually, I am especially fond of one particular plant, the cypress pine. I especially like the way these plants beautify the environment, big or small. They can also aid in wealth, culture and literature, heavenly happiness, magnificence, dignity, etc. And in my years of travelling overseas and locally to benefit sentient beings, I discovered that places with the cypress pine often have wealthy families residing there.

Of course, one needs to see the height, size, verdancy, luxuriance, as well as the nobility, to determine the quality of wealth, descendants and reputation. I thank my good fortune that 18 years ago, I had the honour to be invited to help a family, hence had the affinity to see 2 pots of regal-looking cypress pine trees. Although this family lived in a HDB flat, its interior decoration was overflowing with an aura of nobility. Among all the HDB housing I have audited, theirs was a very resplendent home. Another main reason was that their home had an extraordinary guest, that is the the Yellow Jambhala, the distinguished Lord of Accumulation of Gelug school in Varjayana Buddhism. The statue of the Yellow Jambhala was the most regal-looking I had ever seen till now.

Fact is, the greenery surrounding a residence already has hidden indicators of the health, wealth, fortune, marriage, descendant, and status luck of the occupants. The more accomplished a Feng Shui master is, the more he is able to discern this in a single glance, and negate the harmful effects. That is why all these years, I have been constantly telling everybody, male and female, not to be hasty and have a herd mentality when it comes to buying your own home. Otherwise, the losses that you have to bear will not be for the short term, but for the entire lifetime.

Is it that serious?

A family which used to be a happy unit suffers the fate of one family member getting cancer. The patient suffers physically and emotionally and the family is shrouded with worry and anxiety.

Feng Shui is originally the great wisdom of the mountains and the rivers. It is a profound study of our environment. Picturesque scenery and a pleasant environment will definitely cultivate gifted scholars and beauties, and nourish the health physically and emotionally. Prior to buying a house, one must first select the right land. Buying a house requires careful scrutiny of the landform and land features. Never ever stay in an environment of a strange shape and odd features. There must not be two different fruit trees, or thorny plants on all four sides of your house. Please remember this! Be sure to keep in mind! The birth of this Treasure Book of Flowers and Plants is definitely joyous news to all sentient beings in this world!
