【一切的失敗和不足，都是最美好的安排】
All Failures & Lacks Are The Best Things to Happen to Us

三個月前，收到來自台灣客人的這封電郵時，開心和心酸交織著在心裡。

開心，因為這是一年前通過Zoom視訊的客人。他居然在我們看八字的一週年，特地寫了封感謝函給我，真有心！

心酸，因為他寫在電郵裡的低落心情，我完完全全明白。

他的經歷，是我的曾經。我當初也是很難，很久才能走出來。

有一回，我為一位芳華正茂的女子批八字時，她很用心的寫下我說的話。

論寫筆記的完整，她是我客人當中的佼佼者。

寫到一半，我注意到她的右手開始微微顫抖。我以為是空調的風太大了，冷到她，便問她要不要披巾。

她說，是她的焦慮症發作。

「我沒在兇你，也沒對你嚴厲，你為何突然焦慮？」

「我.....打從今年疫情打亂了我的計畫，我就一直很焦慮。我覺得我很沒用，同學們都前進了，只有我現在什麼都不是，亂糟糟的。我就一直很緊張，萬一我一直都是這樣，怎麼辦？」

說著，她眼眶一紅，眼淚像斷了線的珍珠鏈似的灑下來。

我的媽呀！是我的樣子長得很催淚，還是我的聲音聽起來很虐心？怎麼客人，不分男女老少，東南西北，看到我好像都很容易哭？

我抓起一張紙巾遞給她。

「所以，我不是來了嗎？你來找我，就是要問個明路，而你很幸運那麼快就看到我啦！你看你的筆記寫得多工整，多齊全。我很多客人都不如你啊！我今天的工作，就是來給你答案的。我沒有把握，也不會接你這份差事。我接了，就代表還可以補救。你照著我的指示去做，一定柳暗花明又一村。」

又另一回，一位四十多歲的媽媽請我看兒子的八字。

我在批著八字時，這位媽媽點頭認同，然後就聲淚俱下。

我轉頭看著她沈默不語的先生。我說錯了什麼嗎？太太哭成淚人，你怎麼連紙巾也不拿給她啊？

「我是個沒有用的母親，很不稱職的母親。我沒有辦法教好孩子。我很愛他，可是很多時候我都不知道要怎麼做，我就會對他發脾氣，說狠話，過後我又後悔。我忍下來，可是後來還是會一樣！」

我沒打斷她，等她的哭聲逐漸小聲後，我柔柔的說：「我來啦！我坐在你前面了。你已經看到我，就是有辦法了。你知道你自己不行，會去找辦法，就代表你願意去學習做個好媽媽啊！」

我把紙巾遞給她，再說：「不要哭了，要不然，別人看了以為是我不要借你錢，才把你弄得那麼傷心。」

曾幾何時，我們都會以外在所擁有的，來定義自己的人生是否值得自己喜歡。

從原生家庭、樣貌、健康、身型、智力、天賦等，到後來的學歷、友情、事業、財富、婚姻、子女......

哪一樣沒有，而偏偏是我們最想要的，我們就會認定自己失敗的一塌糊塗。

我認為這就是普通教育最大的問題所在。父母老師都是這樣把我們「分門別類」的。值不值得父母疼愛或向親朋戚友炫耀，也離不開那幾點。

久而久之，我們也只會以「成功」來定義自己是否有價值，甚至來衡量自己是否有活下去的勇氣。

我比較喜歡佛法的定義。我們每個人都是一尊佛，六道眾生皆有佛性，只因一時的迷，因此墮落在苦輪不停的輪迴。

可正因為我們有佛性，我們都有無窮無盡的可能。每個人的內在有著很強大的力量，等著我們遇到明師後，去發掘、探索和了解。

而這天生俱來的力量，就是你改命立命的資本。

如果人生順風順水，我們永遠不會想要出離，誤把人間當極樂，所以一定要有苦，我們才會意識到，為什麼我們會在這鬼地方？要怎麼樣才可以離開這鬼地方去到極樂？

反過來，我們都應該感恩自己遇到的挫折，因為從這些苦中，我們才能生出智慧。

沒有一個八字是完美的。一切的失敗和不足，都是最美好的安排，如此你才會有出離心，返本歸源。

3 months ago, when I received this email from my Taiwan client, there was this feeling of bittersweetness.

I was happy because this was the client I did a Zoom consultation last June. He sent me this email on the one-year anniversary date of our Zoom call, to express his gratitude. How sweet!

On the other hand, I could relate to the emotional turmoil he felt at that point in his life.

His experience was my past. It also took me a very long time to walk out from my gloominess.

Once, I analysed the Bazi of a very young lady. She was meticulously jotting down notes as I spoke.

Her detailed note-taking skills easily took the top place among my clients.

Halfway through, I noticed her right hand was trembling slightly. I thought it was due to the cold draft from the air conditioning, so I asked if she needed a shawl.

She replied that it was her anxiety disorder acting up.

“I was not fierce or strict with you. What caused your sudden anxiety?”

“I…ever since the pandemic disrupted my plans, I have been in this state of anxiety. I kept feeling useless. All my classmates are progressing expect me. I have nothing to show for and my life is in a mess. I am very anxious. What if I continue to be like this? What am I going to do?”

As she spoke, her eyes turned red and tears started rolling down like a broken strand of pearl necklace scattering onto the ground.

Oh dear! I am beginning to wonder if I have a tear-jerker face or a heart-tormenting voice. Why do my clients, regardless of gender and age, North South or East West, seem to cry easily when they see me?

I grabbed a piece of tissue and handed it to her.

“Ain’t I here already? You came to me for a roadmap and you are very lucky to see me so soon. Look at how precise and neat your notes are! Many of my clients aren’t even on par with you. My job today is to give you answers. If I didn’t have the confidence, I would not have taken up your request. Now that I did, that means there is still hope. If you follow my instructions, you will see things looking up very soon.”

On another occasion, a mother in her forties came to me for her son’s Bazi consultation.

As I was analysing, the mother nodded her head in agreement. The next thing I know, she started weeping loudly.

I turned to look at her husband, who had been silent all along. Did I say something wrong? And hello, your wife was crying. Why weren’t you gentleman enough to give her a tissue paper?

“I am a useless mother. I am incompetent. I do not know how to teach my son well. I love my son very much. But many times, I do not know what to do and thus I flare up at him and speak harshly. I always regret afterwards. I tried enduring but it still ends badly!”

I did not interrupt her and waited for her cries to soften, before speaking gently, “I’m here! I’m already sitting in front of you. You are looking at me now and that means help is here. You know that you are incompetent, so you went looking for solutions. That means you are willing to learn how to be a better mother!”

I handed a piece of tissue and said, “Don’t cry anymore, otherwise, other patrons will think that it’s because I refuse to lend you money.”

Since young, we have been using external possessions to define whether our lives are worth liking.

The family we are born into, our looks, health, body shape, intellect, talents, and then we move on to compare our academics, friendships, career, wealth, marriage and children.

If we are lacking in the area we covet most, we grade our lives as a failure.

I think this is the biggest problem in societal education. Our parents and teachers categorized us that way. Whether we as children are worthy of their love and bragging, depends on the few points above too.

Thus over time, we can only use the term “success” to determine whether we are of value, for some people, whether they should live on to take their next breath.

I very much prefer the definition in Buddhism. We are all Buddhas. Each and every sentient being in the six realms has a Buddha nature in them. But they got lost momentarily and fell into the endless wheel of reincarnation.

Yet, because of our Buddha nature, we have an unlimited source of potential. Every one of us has a very powerful strength inside us. It is just waiting for us to meet an accomplished teacher, so that we have the tools to explore and understand it:

And this strength that we are born with is the capital for us to transform and establish our own destiny.

If life is smooth-sailing, we would never want to leave and would mistake this mortal realm for Pureland. Thus, we all need sufferings, to realise that we should break out of this hell of a place. There has to be a better world somewhere. So how we get there?

We should, in fact, be grateful for all the setbacks and failures we have. Because it is from these sufferings, our wisdom arise:

No single Bazi is perfect. Every failure and lack we experience is the best arrangement for us, so that the heart of renunciation will arise in us and we will return to where we came from.

《我的幸福5/2 週末》

*週日下午兩點誠品信義書店「廿世紀典範人物」新書分享會，我下午二時開始演講，離上次在台灣大學公開演説。快半年了！分享會報名一小時預告已額滿，但TVBS電視台慷慨的支持。派出SNG車，屆時TVBS文茜的世界周報YouTube 及世界周報Facebook 都將同步直播。

*新書分享會後我將直奔高雄衛武營，參加劉孟捷（李斯特巡禮之年）鋼琴獨奏會。這是劉孟捷回台，最重要的一場音樂會，我目睹他用盡了一切心力。過去即使21歲時在費城代打缺席大師的音樂會，劉孟捷都未曾如此緊張。他此次回台，手術前為了沒有遺憾，共舉行三場音樂會：其中4/17與5/30皆是與國家交響樂團NSO合作：530那一場指揮是呂紹嘉。但他告訴我，某些曲目對他而言，是Piece of Cake ：惟獨衞武營這一場，曲目由他自己決定，現場錄影，並且找了金曲獎錄音師同步錄音。

劉夢捷明白他即將面對一個大手術，手術風險之外，他的免疫系統疾病，將使他的康復之路更長。

沒有人可以預知未來，為了圓他的夢，醫院每天都要求他早上、晚上量血壓，報告直接傳給院長。振興醫院院長魏崢雖然是亞洲第一把心臟外科醫師，但也不敢大意。

畢竟這個人的生命那麼脆弱，他的心臟主動脈剝離，那是實質的「心碎」了：但他仍有詩，仍有音樂夢。在生命的交接處，在白日與黑夜的交义口，劉孟捷想為他的音樂生涯，留下最美好的紀錄。

他選擇了李斯特。

在這場音樂會前，他甚至以英文寫下了自己與音樂、疾病的半生回顧：如李斯特的巡禮，有仰望，有沉思，有失落，有幽微的疼痛。他以詩篇般的演奏模式，傾訴，詠嘆。他曾得到天賦，也走過死蔭的幽谷。命運是一層又一層的黑影逼近，老天爺隨時想帶走他。

而他已不再流淚，不再沉浸於悲愴告別：因為對他而言活著並不容易，他要讓自己更深刻的抓住每一分時光之美。

如果時間和空間，正如哲人們所形容的
都是不實際存在的東西：那從不感到衰敗的太陽，也不會比我們了不起多少！

他如艾略特的詩句中所形容的：我們為什麼要如此貪心總在祈禱，想活上整整一個世紀？

蝴蝶雖僅活了一天，已經歷了永恆。

當他的身軀如露水還在藤蔓顫抖時，他送給我們一場「完全浪漫又超技的李斯特」。

等音樂會結束了，至少有一張CD，一段YouTube 影像：不論孟捷代表生命的那朵鮮花是否枯萎，他彈奏如天使的音聲不會飛離，它會停留在那夜，繼續釋放芬芳。

這是盡生命之力、之情獨奏的音樂會。劉孟捷説：這樣當他走進手術室時，會少一點悲傷。

或許快樂的日子本來就不多，但讓這場「完全李斯特．完全劉孟捷」的獨奏會放出神聖的光彩吧！

我必將赴會，不會錯過！我知道此刻的獨奏會，很難複製，因為它綜合了太多的情感、愛念，釋放與生命的抒情。

*劉孟捷為此次獨奏會寫下的文字：This past year has seen some unprecedented changes in the world. Many lives have been lost and many have changed. The world has changed while many of us confront the uncertainty of the future.

For most musicians, life has changed. For months, we have been conducting our lessons online, and concerts have mostly stopped or become an online experience as well. More time has been spent learning how to improve the online teaching experience than one could have imagined. While I have felt the duty to continue teaching, the format the pandemic requires for teaching leaves me unwilling to spend more time than I have to.

And truly, I have had other things to deal with. When the pandemic started to worry the American public in March, I was in the middle of a tour with the String Quartet-in-Residence at Curtis, the Vera Quartet. However, our concerts were canceled, and everything came to a sudden halt.

I felt the universe had sent me an unexpected gift, as I had also just received some terrible news concerning my worsening aortic arches and a diagnosis of kidney cancer. The sudden halt in my professional schedule seemed perfect in its timing. I was able to settle into a monastic existence, to simply practice and attempt to heal.

I see many musicians itching to be concertizing again, and many stepped into new territory, performing on the internet. Many took time to develop new podcasts, and to write new materials for their art. Sadly, many have struggled as they have fallen into desperation without any concert incomes. Altogether the music industry seems to be in peril, and many worry about how music and musicians will survive.

However, I had my own survival to think about. Having been through many difficult experiences in my life, I knew this might be the most difficult I would encounter. My Doctors describe me as a walking time bomb. My condition could be lethal at any moment if my blood pressure gets out of control. So while others wrestle with the fate of the music industry, I’ve needed to face my own fate and mortality.

Playing concerts can mean many things to people. At different times throughout my life, I’ve felt the need to express different aspects of myself. When I was young, I wanted to embody the spirit of romanticism, playing lots of Chopin and Schumann. Then there was a period of time when I wanted to challenge myself by showing off pyrotechnics. I had a brooding period where I turned to the pathos of Rachmaninoff, and then felt the need to return to the purity of Schubert and nobility of Brahms. Throughout this pandemic, I wanted to play Bach. Through Bach’s music I found a kind of spiritual sanctuary.

In considering the program for this concert, I felt again the urge to play music that reflects my current feelings and state of mind. The title of today’s recital, “Years of Pilgrimage” seems to fit exactly what I am experiencing.

Liszt wrote several volumes of “Années de pèlerinage” throughout his life to reflect on thoughts he had during his travels. He links his philosophical thoughts to the scenery which inspired them. “Au Bord d’un Source” describes feelings of rejuvenation while standing next to a clear stream of water, a symbol and source of life and energy. It seems to say, when the stream is so pure, life can be so full of joy.

In the Les jeux d'eaux à la Villa d'Este (The Fountains of the Villa d'Este), the water has a magical and supernatural quality, as Liszt himself wrote in the inscription: "But the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life,"( from the Gospel of John.)

For me, I have never felt more connected to Liszt than when he looked upon the valley of Obermann and questioned the meaning of existence. At this moment in my life, I often find myself reflecting my experiences of what I see and read into philosophical musings. Perhaps many people come to a time when this is so.

In all this I have felt gratitude for the love stories and sonnets that one can romantically indulge in, and for storms so violent that they threaten to destroy one’s spirit, even the hell-bound journey which brings up questions about the purpose of life…

On this journey, I felt full and alive as a human being. Looking back on this journey, I am grateful for everything, whether happy or sad, to have made an impact, found and imparted meaning to this life.

The unusual time of this pandemic has marked a milestone for me. I have journeyed back home, and as it happened, this is the first time I have spent so much time in my hometown Kaohsiung in over 35 years. It’s particularly nostalgic to play these pieces as some of them were significant in my early musical career. Vallée d’Obermann was the piece I played in my first competition at the junior high school level, in which I won first prize on the national level, which allowed me to be qualified to apply for a special permission to study abroad. This meant my dream to be educated as a musician could be continued in an environment where I could develop fully. In the following year when I was 13, I won the first Asia-Pacific Youth PIano Competition with the Dante Sonata. The competition catapulted me into national attention as I was headlined in several newspapers, and especially since it was held in Kaohsiung, I became a local hero as well. During the same event, I had a fateful meeting with one of the important influences in my life, Mr. Gary Graffman, who then mentored me throughout not only the years when I was studying at Curtis, but throughout my illness and recovery as a pianist. Right before I departed to study in Philadelphia, I played my first solo recital throughout Taiwan, and along with the Dante Sonata, I also performed the three sonnets.

It’s perfect that now, back in Kaohsiung, all these memories have flooded back into my head. I feel so lucky to have been born here, and to have met my first teacher, Chin-Li Lee, who inspired me on the path to become a musician. Prof. Alexander Sung filled me with dreams of becoming an artist. I am grateful for his belief in my talent, when he chose to give a 12 year old such philosophical pieces to play.

Having once again spent some months in Kaohsiung, I can freshly appreciate the source of inspiration it once was for me. I have returned to the source to heal. Having already glimpsed hell’s gate several times, battered and weathered by the storms of life, I know there is a reason life is this way, and it all will be alright.

*劉孟捷衛武營《李斯特巡禮之年》演奏會中，包括李斯特以佩脫拉克三首情詩譜寫的鋼琴琴詩：這三首情詩是從大詩人佩脫拉克一百多首情詩挑出來的，詩本身就很優美，依此激發李斯特的浪漫主義創作靈感，成為琴藝上最困難演奏，但也特別細膩溫柔的琴詩。

這三首分別是：
〈佩脫拉克第47號十四行詩〉〈佩脫拉克第104號十四行詩〉及〈佩脫拉克第123號十四行詩〉。
Franz Liszt（1811-1886）: Sonetto 47 del Petrarca, Sonetto 104 del Petrarca, Sonetto 123 del Petrarca, from Années de pèlerinage, Deuxième année: Italie

李斯特於1846年先出版藝術歌曲《三首佩脫拉克十四行詩》（Tre sonetti del Petrarca），再改成鋼琴獨奏版。

三首佩脫拉克十四行詩
中譯：焦元溥（元溥也是友情贊助，特別準備音樂資料，周日南下，聆賞劉孟捷的樂曲，並且陪同他盯著錄音共三天）

〈第47〉
祝福每天、每月、每年，
所有片刻與鐘點、時間與季節，
在那美麗的原野，

我為一雙眼眸魂縈夢牽。

祝福初遇時的甜，
與愛同在、受苦不停歇，
如弓箭刺穿令我淌血，
傷口永留感動在我心間。

祝福一切我發出的聲音，
當呼喚著我深愛的女郎，
渴望、嘆息、淚濕滿襟。
祝福我寫下的文字遠揚，
歌頌她的芳名，萬古長新。
我心永屬於她，無人能闖。

〈第104〉
我找不到和平，也無意打仗，
我恐懼、我期望，燃燒又冰透。
我向天飛升，卻躺在地上，
我一無所有，卻又擁抱整個宇宙。

我身陷囹圄，監牢又開敞；
我不受囚禁，卻銬著鎖頭。
愛情不讓我死，也不讓我飛翔；
不要我活，也不准我逃離悲愁。

欲看卻無眼，啞口還在發言，
我甘心殞滅，卻仍高聲呼救，
我痛恨自己，但仍愛著他人。

憂傷滋潤我，淚水伴隨笑臉，
生命不足惜，死亡也不煩憂；
我淪落至此，都是妳啊，我的愛人！
〈第123〉

我在塵世見到仙子的美，

她天堂般優雅無與倫比。
想起她讓我悲傷又歡喜，
所見如幻夢迷霧與幽黑。

妳的可愛眼睛使我落淚，
多少次讓太陽也要妒忌。
我還聽到四周發出嘆息，
移動了山嶽停止了河水。

愛情智慧憐憫憂傷財富，
在淚水中形成甜美聲響，
奇妙和諧世上未曾目睹。
天堂追隨著音樂的流淌，
雖然枝上樹葉並未飛舞，
空氣與風息卻充滿芬芳。

【玳瑚師父茶會課室】 2015年十月二十九日
《以茶會友- 第六場：屋子的力量》
29th October 2015 - 6th Tea Session Recap
(English version below)

「爲什麽妳你今天要來參加茶會？」

玳瑚師父在開場前問了每一位出席者。 有一位首次參加者說他從臉書中知道玳瑚師父每一次都會先設定題目，但往往所說的總是更多，于是他很肯定來這次的茶會必會獲益良多。

茶會課室内容摘要：

一、　　什麼樣的人就住什麼樣的屋子，福地需要福人居。

二、　　不拿不屬於自己的東西，沒有錢就不要買，就是不要偷。偷拿公司的東西，偷問玳瑚師父的專業知識，暗自竊　喜，以為省了不少錢，其實是折了福，欠下了累世業緣！

三、　　玳瑚師父要告訴大家如何拿回你應該拿回的東西。

四、　　為何要教導往生短咒？因為你的福份差不多要用完了。師父很緊張，要趕快救你們。

五、　　玳瑚師父示範种子字“嗡啊吽”的寫法，並解釋其不可思議的力量。

六、　　為什麼是玳瑚師父做茶會，給妳你來參加，而不是妳你做？因為他的福份比妳你大，所以他可以布施給你。在有形的世界裡，吾的資糧比你多，在無形的世界，我的資糧更多。他如何做到的呢？

七、　　要專一，不要騙。專一才能夠進入禪定。

八、　　怎麽樣能做人王？

九、　　從一個家，如何就能知道裡面住的人開心、快樂與否？

十、　　原來大家是這樣驅走財神、喜神和福神的！

十一、　要日子不會難過，擇日結婚的重點是什麽？

十二、　花錢看醫生，病還不能好，原來問題在屋子的這裡！

十三、 　男人事業要掌權，一定要這麼做！

十四、　沒有窗口的陽宅，會有怎樣的問題？

十五、 　積德已經來不及了，千萬別缺德！

十六、 　光線對屋子的重要在哪裡？

十七、　風水很簡單，為何學得好的人卻不多？

十八、 　屋子是國人最大的投資，千萬別草率！

十九、　為何玳瑚師父不賣也不鼓勵擺設吉祥物？

二十、　怎樣的屋子會讓你敗？

二十一、形狀奇怪的屋子會帶來什麼後患？

二十二、坐久就成相，玳瑚師父示範各種正確坐姿，能讓妳你精神抖抖，在職場上有做為！

二十三、原來孩子不讀書和父母買錯這些東西有關！

二十四、最厲害的文昌位就是這一種！

二十五、為何老公不爭氣？

二十六、要做老闆，先看自己的福德有多少，能耐多久。

二十七、福德直接的來源就是這樣做！

二十八、外貌不如人，也是福德薄弱。

二十九、睡高和睡低，分別在哪裏？

三十、　人的緣份會變遷。

三十一、主臥房在家裡的這一處，就是事業家庭成功的秘訣之一！

三十二、風水是能夠把一個機會變成很多，讓曙光早進來，把你生命裡的陰霾早日驅走。

三十三、如果你的生命裡是沒有的，吾不可能幫你變成有。因為你自己從來沒有種下那個種子的因。所以別相信那些說給他$500，他就能幫你致富。

三十四、不是你給不給我錢的問題，而是這個師父願不願意代你的業障，再割福給你。

茶會尾聲時，玳瑚師父也提醒了大家星期六是南無觀世音菩薩的出家日，大家可以在家自行誦菩薩洪名和/或心咒。他教導大家如何做簡單的迴向。現場一位出席者更拿出自己莊嚴美麗的數珠，供玳瑚師父當場示範持誦六字大明咒及使用數珠的正確方法。師父耐心地介紹數珠的結構。那位出席者能得到玳瑚師父為她加持數珠，之後自己用此數珠持咒，力量會加倍，實之幸運！

茶會結束後，玳瑚師父合掌感謝大家的出席。出席者們也在一連串的感謝玳瑚師父後，帶著滿滿的新知識回家。在此，祝福他們能早日做自己命運的主人，阿彌陀佛！

Why do you wish to attend today's tea session?

That was the first question posed by Master Dai Hu to all attendees. A first-time attendee spoke about his conviction of the benefits the tea session would bring him, after reading the Facebook previews and recaps. He was sharp-eyed and noted that Master Dai Hu would always speak beyond the topic preview.

Tea Session Highlights:

1. The kind of person you are will determine the kind of house you stay in. A land with good Feng Shui will only go to a person with an abundance of virtues.

2. Do not take what does not belong to you. If you have no money, just forget about buying. Do not think about stealing. You might be chuckling to yourself, after stealing from your company or stealing Master Dai Hu's professional knowledge. You think you have brilliantly saved yourself some money. Fact is, you have just accrued karmic debts for your future lives!

3. Master Dai Hu's mission is to teach everyone how to claim back what belong to you in the first place.

4. Why does Master Dai Hu relentlessly teach the short version of the Mantra for Rebirth in Pureland? The merits of many people are running dangerously low. That gets Master Dai Hu really anxious and he wishes to save them before it is too late.

5. Master Dai demonstrated how to write the Sanskrit seed syllables OM AH HUM and briefly explained the incredible power behind it.

6. Why is Master Dai Hu the one holding the Tea Session for you to participate? Why not the other way around? This is because his merits are much more than yours, therefore he is more than able to give some to you. In the physical world, he has more resources than you. In the spiritual world, his resources are much much more. How did he manage to achieve that when many people failed to?

7. Be loyal, don't be a cheater. You need to be single-minded and fully focused, to enter into a meditative state.

8. What makes a person an emperor or president in his rebirth?

9. How can you tell, by looking at the house, that the occupants are living blissfully or not?

10. So this is how you chased away the Gods of Wealth, Happiness and Fortune from your home!

11. If you wish for a marriage of happiness, here are the key points in the date selection!

12. You spent a fortune to seek medical treatment, but there is no progress. Turns out that the problem lies in this spot of your house!

13. What must a man do to gain authority in his career.

14. Problems arising from a house with no windows.

15. There is already insufficient time to accumulate merits, so let us not commit any more unwholesome deeds.

16. What is the significance of light to a house?

17. The Art of Feng Shui is simple, but why are there not many people learning it?

18. Your house is the biggest investment of many Singaporeans, so do not be reckless in making your decision.

19. Why does Master Dai Hu does not sell and discourage the use of auspicious objects in Feng Shui?

20. What kind of house will bring about your downfall?

21. What are the dire consequences of staying in an odd-shaped house?

22. Your sitting posture will form your destiny. Master Dai Hu demonstrated the various correct sitting postures, that will instill vitality and drive and bring about career success!

23. Have a child who refuses to study? These are what parents are buying wrong for the children!

24. To get the most powerful effect from the Star of Wen Chang (Scholastic Star), the best position is this!

25. Why is your husband not driven to progress in life?

26. If you want to be your own boss, have a serious think-through about how much merits and virtues you possess, and how long these can last.

27. To get your merits and virtues, this is the way to do it!

28. If you have below-average looks, this is also a sign of insufficient merits and fortune.

29. The BIG difference between sleeping in a high position and sleeping in a low position!

30. A person's affinities are often in a constant state of change.

31. One secret to a joyful family and successful career is to have your Master bedroom in this part of the house!

32. Feng Shui is capable of turning that one chance you have into bountiful opportunities for you, and let the light in sooner to drive away the darkness in your life.

33. If it is not something that you have in your destiny, no Master cannot change that. You had not planted the seed in the past to enjoy the fruits today. Therefore, please do not believe those con men who promise to make you rich for a fee of $500.

34. It is not a matter of paying for the services of a Master, but a matter of the Master's willingness to take over your negative karma and bestow fortune upon you.

As the event drew to a close, Master Dai Hu reminded everyone that the coming Saturday is the Renunciation Day of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and that everyone can recite the name or the mantra of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. He taught everyone a simple way of merits dedication. One participant took out her beautiful string of mala beads and Master Dai Hu demonstrated the correct way of using the beads and reciting the Six Syllable Mantra. Master Dai Hu patiently explained the different parts of the mala beads. With her mala beads blessed by Master Dai Hu, the lucky participant will be able to generate more merits when reciting mantras/Buddha's name with it!

As the Tea Session concluded, Master Dai Hu placed both his palms together and thanked everyone for their attendance. All participants expressed their gratitude to Master Dai Hu and went home with their new-found knowledge.

Master Dai Hu wishes everyone to become master of their own fate very soon! Amituofo!
