Feng shui problem

Interpretation of vital signs is correct, and Feng Shui is interpreted according to the report. Feng Shui is to observe the good fortune and ill fortune of Yang Zhai (where the living live) and Yin Zhai (where the dead are buried). According to Buddhism, what is reported follows what is reported. It is blessed to be rewarded, and it is bound to be good to be rewarded; Being rewarded is not good, being rewarded is not good. Therefore, it is often said in geomantic omen that "auspicious people live in auspicious places" and "seeking shade is better than seeking heart". This "auspicious person" and "heart" refer to "positive report", which means that this report is followed by positive report. Positive reports are the main ones, supplemented by factual reports. For example:

Example 1: Fan Zhongyan in Song Dynasty was very poor when he was young, and later he became an official. He is very filial and invited Mr. Feng Shui to see his mother's grave. Mr. Feng Shui said that his mother's grave was a "Jedi" and his family would cut off his heir and persuade him to move. He said that since he is a Jedi, he should not let others suffer; What's the use of moving a grave if I die? The grave didn't move. In addition, there was a famous geomantic treasure house in Suzhou at that time-Nanyuan, and Fan Zhongyan was a prime minister and a Suzhou native, so many people advised him to buy Nanyuan as a mansion to help future generations produce talents and become big officials. Fan Zhongyan said that his family had too little wealth, so he bought Nanyuan, set up Suzhou Academy and trained many talents. After his death, his son Fan Chunren became prime minister again, and generations of talented people came forth in large numbers. In the 1980s, People's Daily published an overseas edition saying that 100 descendants of Fan, who lived all over the world, gathered in Taipei to commemorate the 1,000th anniversary of their birth. Master Yin Guangda said that the prosperity of the Fan family for nearly a thousand years is the best proof that "there must be Qing Yu in a good family". It also means that it has nothing to do with Feng Shui, because Feng Shui is tangible. How does feng shui remain unchanged after the passage of time? Cause and effect are different, and it still works after hundreds of robberies. The Buddhist scripture says, "If you rob 100,000 people, you will never lose your power. When you encounter karma, you will still suffer the consequences." This poem shows that even after thousands of robberies, the karma created will not die. Once the karma is combined, the self-cultivation karma will still take its own consequences.

Ex. 2: In 1930s, Sichuan warlords dug up Zhu Dejia's grave in Yilong County. During the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards dug Jiang Jingguo's grave in Fenghua, but this did not affect them. This also shows that the good news being reported has not yet been enjoyed; According to the report, it is secondary and does not have much impact.

Example 3: My house in Chengdu is a haunted house. My grandfather was introduced to buy a house built by someone in Jiangsu in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he learned that the house was often haunted by fox spirits, which was very restless. Disasters occurred one after another, and some people hanged themselves. There is a "Daxianlou" with classical architectural style in the community garden, with windows and no stairs, surrounded by dense trees, which looks very gloomy. However, my family lived until the late Qing Dynasty 1950, and nothing strange happened.

Once, in my dream, my mother suddenly saw the window of "Daxianlou" open and a woman costume flew down. She knew in her heart that it was a fox spirit, and she was very afraid. She soon took the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I was even more nervous when I heard someone knocking at the door. Looking at it again, the woman in costume has stood in front of herself indoors and said very kindly, "We are neighbors. We have been together for many years, and your home is very thick. We are all impressed. But we are going to break up, especially to say goodbye. " Say that finish, I see it. This matter is often used by parents to educate us and let us know that "good luck" and "what to report" are true and credible.

So feng shui is made by heart. Blessed land, blessed people, blessed people, blessed land. A place with beautiful environment, good wind and good water, if people without public morality live, litter, pollute air and water, and abuse pesticides ... soon, the beautiful geomantic omen will be destroyed.

On the other hand, in an ordinary land of geomantic omen, if people with public morality live, know how to protect the environment, care for the earth, do good deeds everywhere and influence their neighbors, over time, the magnetic field will inevitably change and geomantic omen will improve. Therefore, "blessed land, blessed habitat, blessed people, blessed land."

An empty room is used as a bar, ballroom and Dojo. Due to the different moods and ideas of the participants, the radio waves emitted are completely different, and of course the magnetic field is completely different. This is the so-called "Feng Shui" difference. The reason for pursuing feng shui lies in people's thoughts (radio waves and magnetic fields), so you don't have to ask for help to see feng shui. You have a good mind and feel the magnetic field and geomantic omen. If you have a bad heart, even the best feng shui will soon be destroyed.

To tell the truth, many temples are built in places with the best feng shui, but many people can't live in them. They prefer to go to casinos with the worst feng shui, dark erotic places, or shopping in places with the most serious air (wind) pollution. They are not used to feng shui.

Most people in the world believe Mr. Feng Shui's words, especially "burial" must choose Feng Shui. Children and grandchildren often selfishly hope that their elders will be buried in the place where Feng Shui is most beneficial to them, but they don't care whether the deceased is happy or not. Everyone believes that "the feng shui of ancestors influenced them", and few people reflect on their thoughts and behaviors. Will it affect their ancestors? Will it shame our ancestors? Will it make Feng Shui worse? People would rather spend a lot of money to invite people to see Feng Shui than "cultivate their minds" to change Feng Shui.

Only people with virtue can live in a blessed land!

There is a scholar in Jiangxi who is good at Feng Shui. He traveled to Daozhou, Hunan, and met a land with excellent geomantic omen. When he looked out, two people came. One is wearing luxurious clothes, and the other is holding a compass. He looked around and said, "The feng shui in this land is not good! 」

Scholars secretly laugh at the nonsense of geographers. He came to chat with the two men and asked about their native place and surname. The man in gorgeous clothes is a rich man in the city, and the man with a compass is a geographer. When the geographer heard that the scholar was from Jiangxi, he said, "There is a famous geographer in Jiangxi. You must be very clever! " 」

The scholar raised his hand modestly, and the geographer was very impressed. He asked the rich family to invite the scholar home.

The scholar lives in a rich family. He wanted to talk about the land he saw the day before yesterday, and thought to himself, "If you don't have a big Ford, you don't deserve this land! After living for a long time, he saw that the rich man's friendship was not very good and kept it a secret.

It happened that Xiao Gong, the in-laws of a rich family, wanted to bury his parents and visit the geographer who lived in a rich family, and the scholar also applied.

Xiao Gong is an elder, and he is charitable. Everyone in the village thinks he is a good man. The scholar also thinks that he may be worthy of the land in front. So he asked Xiao Gong to buy the land at a high price. The scholar will be buried within a few days after the tomb is opened for the land.

The scholar said to Xiao Gong, "This land is not worthy of a thick man in Ford. You are a respected elder. But the fate is unknown, and it would be a great sin to go against it. Why not stay in that tomb for one night in advance? If it is not your land, there should be strange signs! 」

Xiao Gong did as the scholar told him. That night, he and his son lived in the grave and covered it with reeds and straw mats.

In the middle of the night, he heard shouts, peeped through the cracks in the reeds, and saw many flags, rituals and attendants leading ahead, and a burly man rode over.

Xiao Gong thought to himself, "How can any dignitaries pass by on this barren night?" Just as he was in fear and doubt, the troops had stopped at the grave, bridled the reins and reprimanded the attendants, saying, "This is He Xiaozi's land, and Xiao dares to occupy it. Get him out of there! 」

Frightened, Xiao Gong bowed his head in front of the grave and said loudly, "I think if I occupy this land that doesn't belong to me, I may be condemned by heaven, so I stayed in front of the grave to predict good or bad luck." Now that you have told me, I am willing to move at once! " 」

The man sitting on the horse replied, "I forgive you for thinking you are an elder." If you can help He Xiaozi bury his father, I should give you another good geography. You should bury the grave quickly, lest the gas field leak out! "Just finished speaking, the speed is as fast as lightning.

After a while, the silence came back.

After dawn, Xiao Gong and his son went home to tell the scholar what had happened and sealed the tomb. They looked everywhere for He Xiaozi, but no one knew He Xiaozi.

One day, the scholar went for an outing in the suburbs alone, walked a long way and came to a small town. Suddenly it rained heavily, and he took shelter under the corridor of Midian.

After it turned dark, everyone in the rice field rested, except a young man who was still in the rice field. The scholar felt very strange and asked him. He replied, "My mother is old and needs meat to be full. I go out early and come back late, so I can earn more money to support my mother! 」

The scholar asked him your name, and he replied, "What's my name?" ! The scholar thought, "Is he He's son?" 」

The scholar wanted to secretly observe whether he really served his mother. At the end of the meal, the scholar excused himself and said, "It's a long road, and it's raining in Xiu Yuan. Can I stay with you tonight? " ! 」

After He Xiaozi agreed, the scholar gave He Xiaozi five taels of silver and said, "Please help me prepare dinner! 」

He Xiaozi was surprised and said, "How can you get so much money for a meal? 」

The scholar replied, "Use the rest of the money to support your kindness!" 」

He Xiaozi refuses to accept it. He said: "I try my best to serve my mother and feel at ease." It doesn't make sense to accept guests' money for nothing! 」

The scholar reluctantly accepted it, took a silver ingot and went to the market to buy some dining tables, and went home with the scholar.

There are only two rooms in He Xiaozi's house, which is the room where the old mother lives, and He and his wife live in the outer room. The first half of the room is outside. It's a stove. It's narrow, but it's quite neat.

When He Xiaozi came home, he went to the advanced room and told his mother that because there were guests to stay overnight, her mother told her daughter-in-law to make tea quickly and not to neglect the guests. Soon, He Xiaozi came, invited the guests into the room and said, "My family is poor and there is no room available. I have asked my wife to sleep with my mother, and my husband and I are in the same bed. I hope you don't mind! 」

After sitting down, He Xiaozi went to serve tea, then took out a bottle of wine and a dish on the table and said to the scholar, "Sorry, I can't accompany you!" " "Say that finish, He Xiaozi hurried in. Peeking through the crack of the door, the scholar saw that there were two plates, a knife and a spoon on the table. Mr. He and Mrs. He helped his mother sit down, while her mother ate, and the couple gathered around to serve food and scoop meat. They are very happy.

After eating, Mrs. He took the food, and He Xiaozi personally waited on his mother to wash her hands. Then the couple sat opposite each other and ate only a little yellow food.

The scholar peeked while eating, and his heart was even more admired.

Soon, He Xiaozi came out and saw that all the guests had finished eating, so he offered tea. He told the scholar, "Your quilt and pillow are ready. It's hard for you to walk a long way. Please go to bed first, don't wait for me! 」

The scholar nodded, He Xiaozi entered his mother's room again, and the scholar secretly peeped at He Xiaozi's behavior. Mother was very happy to see He Xiaozi sitting beside her, telling in detail the anecdotes that happened in the street today to comfort her. After a while, his mother was tired and wanted to sleep, so He Xiaozi put a pillow, brushed the mattress, undressed his mother and helped the old man to 1 (urinate). Mrs. He also waited on him, showing no signs of fatigue.

When his mother fell asleep, He Xiaozi massaged her back again. He Xiaozi didn't leave until he heard his mother's sleeping breathing. When he left the room, he walked lightly, as if afraid that his mother would wake up.

Scholars admire his filial piety out of sincerity and think about God's word. He Xiaozi came out and asked He Xiaozi, "How long has your father been dead and buried?" 」

He Xiaozi cried and said, "My father has been dead for four years. Why is someone unfilial? He had to work to support his mother, but he couldn't arrange the funeral. My father's coffin is still in the social temple. 」

He Xiaozi is very sad. Seeing his tears, the scholar comforted him and said, "Don't be sad. I live in Mr. Xiao's house. His old man has a land with good feng shui. I should ask him to give it to you, and I can help you bury it! " 」

He Xiaozi said, "My husband and I are strangers. How dare we accept your kindness at once? Besides, since the land has an owner, even if Mr. Wang is poor, I am afraid there is nothing to talk about! 」

The scholar replied, "You don't have to worry! I know Mr. Xiao has always been generous and likes the beauty of adults. He understands your filial piety and will definitely agree! After three days, don't go out, I'll treat him! 」

He Xiaozi cried and thanked him: "If what Teacher Wang said comes true, I will never forget your great virtue!" 」

The scholar comforted him again and went to bed.

Before dawn, the scholar woke up and found that He Xiaozi had disappeared. When I got up in the morning, I saw He Xiaozi coming in from the outside with a bowl. I only knew when I asked: He Lao Ma wanted to eat glutinous rice balls, and He Xiao Zi went to town to buy glutinous rice balls, and walked 20 miles back and forth. The scholar is even more impressive.

The scholar returned to Xiao's home and told Mr. Xiao what had happened. Mr. Xiao said happily, "God made us do this! Now that you have found someone, how dare you be stingy? 」

Three days later, Mr. Xiao and the scholar arrived at He's home with the title certificate of the land. When I arrived at the door, I heard Mr. and Mrs. He crying very sadly. Both Mr. Xiao and the scholar were surprised. They went in and asked, only to know that Mrs. He suddenly became seriously ill after the scholar left, and the medicine stone was invalid, and she died suddenly the next night.

When He Xiaozi saw the guests coming, he banged his head and burst into tears. Mr. Xiao took pity on him, paid for his coffin and funeral, and gave the title deed to He Xiaozi. The scholar chooses the date and burial matters for him, and the burial expenses shall be borne by the scholar.

After the funeral, He and his wife got together to thank them and asked Mr. Xiao to let them work as helpers in Xiao's house to repay the value of the land. Old Mr. Xiao said in surprise: "Your filial piety touched God and was blessed by the gods. What if I dare to covet heaven? " He also told He Xiaozi what happened in the past and said to him, "You are a dutiful son. I want to be friends with you, but I may not get what I want. How dare I ask you to be a servant in my house? " I think there are many vacant rooms in our family. If you don't mind, why not bring your family to live with us? You don't have to worry about life! 」

He Xiaozi thanked Mr. Xiao Lao and refused. Mr. Xiao insisted on inviting him, and Mr. He and Mrs. He stayed at Xiao's house to manage the cashier's general affairs for Xiao's house.

After more than a month, Mr. Xiao told the scholar: "The gods promised to help He Xiaozi bury his parents and give me a blessed land. Now this sentence should be effective. Why don't you look for it? " 」

The scholar replied, "I don't make a living by watching Feng Shui. If it weren't for the unfinished business of your old man, how could I live in a foreign land for so long? " The gods have promised you, and I think I can find a good feng shui. I haven't found anything I like yet. I hope you wait for a while! 」

Since then, the scholar has gone to fields and valleys every day, visiting caves with cohesive atmosphere and Long Mai in the mountains. Looking for more than a month, I found nothing, and my body and mind were very tired.

One day, he passed by Mrs. He's grave and looked around. Suddenly, he saw a few feet away, Long Mai appeared vaguely. The scholar searched for the real dragon, and it turned out to be the same as Mrs. He's tomb. After careful observation, the scholar found that although this land is not so noble, its wealth can reach millions. So the scholar told Mr. Xiao to buy the land and bury it for him another day.

Afterwards, Mr. Xiao rewarded the scholar 1200 silver. The scholar resolutely declined and said, "I told you earlier: I don't make a living by watching Feng Shui. I hope you can keep this money to help the poor! 」

As a last resort, Mr. Xiao bid farewell to the scholar, and Mr. He and his wife also kowtowed to thank him.

After the scholar returned to his hometown, he was admitted to Jinshi immediately. After Mr. Xiao buried his parents, his fortune prospered and he was rich. Soon, his son was admitted to Jinshi, became an academician, and later became Fang Bo (the length of an ancient country, called Fang Bo). After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the secretariat was called Fang Bo. Visiting officials in the Tang Dynasty and political envoys in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, also called Fang Bo, can be said to be the head of an administrative region.

He Wen 'an Gong (hanling), the grandson of He Xiaozi, passed the examination of flower exploration in 200 BC, became a university student (history of the Book of Rites), and became a famous official of contemporary Neo-Confucianism. Ji Shao, the son of Sun Yat-sen, was admitted to Xie Yuan in his early years and became an academician. He served as the examiner of the Academy for many times.

The wealth of the two families in Xiao He has not been lost until today.

Mr. Wang Daoding, the owner of sitting flowers, said: "Filial piety is the head of the five permanent members and the foundation of all kinds of activities. When He Xiaozi worked as a handyman and bartender, he had no unique talent or special integrity, which was touching and heard. But heaven and earth blessed him, ghosts and gods respected him, and finally made his family prosperous and his children prosperous. The induction of filial piety is so magical and rapid! The scholar values righteousness and forgets profit, and Mr. Xiao is kind and kind, and both of them are blessed. Isn't that appropriate? 」
