House Shifting & Earth Breaking Ceremonies


If you are going to shift to your new house, you have to select an auspicious date & time according to the bazi (time of birth) of the family members. After the date has been determined, a simple ceremony can be carried out. It is vital to conduct the ceremony to show our respect to the Earth and the surrounding.
1. Firstly, prepare 4 sets of fruits (apple, Chinese lime, banana and pear), some sweets and 3 cups of Chinese tea.
2. Put the things at 4 different locations i.e. North West, South East, North East and South West. Hence, there should be 4 sets of fruits, some sweets and 3 cups of Chinese tea at 4 different locations respectively.
3. For those who use joss stick, pray and put them onto the fruits until they complete burning. For those who do not use joss stick, just pray at the sectors.
4. The schedule of praying is from North West; follow by South East, then North East and lastly the South West.
5. The above steps are also to be done for the Earth Breaking Ceremony, accept there should be another additional step on top of the steps mentioned above i.e. break a small piece of the wall. However, for 2009, you should avoid breaking the wall at the North and East sectors of your house.
It is crucial to maintain a peaceful mind when the ceremony is being carried out. No argument should be taken place during the ceremony. Pray with a sincere and pure heart.
