孔子也算命 Confucius read his own fortune too

台灣师范大学易经专家曾仕強教授说孔子也算过命. 在<论语>里, 子曰：“吾十有五而志于学，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳顺，七十而从心所欲，不逾矩。”
孔子说：“我十五岁有志于学问；30岁就可以独立处事了；40岁便遇事不迷惑；50岁就已经认识到了自己这一生的道路；60岁，一听别人言论便可以分辨真假，判明是非；听得进不同的意见, 到了70岁便随心所欲，做任何事都不越出规矩, 但是待人接物自然而然地就符合道德礼教了。”

The master of I-Ching, Professor of the Taiwan University 师范大学 Professor 曾仕強said Confucius has read his own fortune too. Confucius said:" When I was 15 years old I was interested in learning; age 30 independent; the age of 40 not confused; 50 years, and he has realized his life course; 60, listening to others ' remarks will be able to distinguish truth from falsehood, distinguish between right and wrong, and to the age of 70 will get his own way, doing thing that does not go beyond the rules, interpersonal skills naturally consistent with morality.

The mails that made my days full of joy.

I always say that receiving such mails or sms are enough to make my days full of joy.

My feng shui class in Brunei

It is my pleasure to be able to conduct my feng shui class in Brunei. I sincerely hope that those who have attended my class have gained some knowledge from the sharing. I certainly enjoyed the afternoon with you all and looking forward to see you soon.

Frankly speaking, it was a very wonderful trip for me that I did not expect it to be. Thanks a billion for the hospitality and there is no words that I can find to describe my gratitude towards those who have helped to make this trip a successful and meaningful one, particularly Mr. Sonny Teo who has put in so much effort in making it happened.

Also, I would like to thank Mr. Sonny Teo again for inviting to me to the wonderful dinner organized by the Singaporean Association, SA of Brunei in the grand Empire Hotel. It was a fantastically wonderful night.

Prediction for the year of dragon 2012 (part 2)

I have just posted that 2012 is a year of yang water dragon and therefore there will be heavy water; we can notice the signal prior to it whereby the recent two months of typhoons and heavy monsoon rain have flooded Southeast Asia, killing nearly 500 people and forcing thousands - including prison inmates and hospital patients - to flee.

“Meteorologists have indicated that flooding in some of these countries is the worst in 50 years,” the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) said Wednesday, referring to devastation in Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam.

To minimize the impact of the worst flying star 5 yellow, please place what we call the ‘Fortune Water’ as the figure shown below. As the 5 yellow is earth element, place that ‘Fortune Water’ which formed by the old ancient brown coins is crucial. The 5 yellow earth star will use its energy to grow gold (the old ancient brown coins + 1 silver coin) and hence it reduces its energy. To simplify it so that it is easier for you to understand, earth produces gold, thus earth is mother and gold is son. Mother will definitely take care of the son and will not harm it, right? In this case, the mother is the 5 yellow earth star and the son is the gold (the old ancient brown coins + 1 silver coin). Place the 'Fortune Water' at the South East of your house. It is particularly important if your main door, bedroom or kitchen are located at the South East of your house.

By the way, I m going to Brunei 14/10/11 to 17/10/11 to conduct my feng shui class and to feng shui audit a few places. If you cannot get me during the time, please kindly leave me a message via my email masterlee@penangfengshui.com . For those who have signed up for the class, I m looking forward to see you on 15th October 2011, at D’Anggrek Hotel, from 2pm till 5pm.

Prediction for the year of dragon 2012 (part 1)

The "li chun" for the year of dragon is 4/2/12 1840. If you study the four pillars of the "li chun" time of 4/2/12 1900, you will notice, the year stem and the month stem are all 壬 Ren yang water which crush the time stem which is a 丙 bing yang fire. Imaging what will happen for the year of dragon when the strong water is crushing the strong fire?? Furthermore, the year of dragon is 壬辰 which is strong water dragon. The dragon that bring a lot of water. Thus, I predict a Tsunami and it is going to likely to happen at the South East of the World which the most dangerous flying star, 5 yellow, coupled with the grand duke 太岁 are all there. Hence, South East Asia, please do whatever possible to reduce the impacts.

After suffering from the worst ever tsunami and earthquake, 2012 is a better year for Japan.

Please stay tuned for my other posts about my prediction for the year of dragon and I m going to talking a popular topic i.e. the financial outlook of the world in 2012.

Does Malaysian Government believes in Feng Shui?

《易經》 I-Ching


Bagua


孔子深受《易經》的影响 Confucian had been influenced very much by I-Ching.



The word I 易in I-Ching means “Changes” is in fact in line with the Buddhism belief <无常> impermanence; transiency.



proton (yang) and electron (yin) in Atom



the Sun (yang) and the planets (yin)



Because of yin (female) and yang (male), there is reproduction in human being.

很多学问是原自于<易经>, 包括了风水学. 《易經》是中國最古老的文獻之一，並被儒家尊為「五經」之首. 有人認為《易經》流行於周朝故稱《周易》，亦有人依據《史记》的記載「文王拘而演周易」，認同《易經》乃周文王所著。其实《易經》原自于整六千年前的伏羲氏, 当时人类并没有文字, 他们靠的是符号. 《易經》里的阳爻__和阴爻- -就是那样来的. 因此有人稱《易經》为无字天书, 因为开始时它只有符号.

儒家奉《周易》、《尚書》、《詩經》、《禮記》、《春秋》為《五經》。《易經》的内容在春秋戰國時便已不易读懂，因此春秋戰國時代孔子撰写了《十翼》, 他为《易經》增加了十个翅膀, 他要把它给飞起来. 孔子深受《易經》的影响, 他的中心思想为<仁>, <仁>字来自《易經》里的阳爻__和阴爻--, 如果把阳爻__和阴爻- -倒过来写那就是<仁>字. 这是因为<仁>是必须阴阳配合, 一个人不可以太阳太刚烈, 或太阴太柔弱. 其实其原理与爱因斯坦的相对论相似, 都讲就平衡点, 不可以太多也不可以太少. 我常说<水能载舟, 也能覆舟>, 我们需要水来载舟, 但太多水也能覆舟.每件东西都要它的平衡点. 因此中华文化也深受《易經》的影响. 其实今天我们所用的文字好多原自于《易經》. 而《易經》不是仅仅是本占卜的书, 它包罗万象.

易由蜥蜴而得名, 而蜥蜴能夠变色，俗稱「变色龍」，指天下萬物是常变的, 和佛学里的<无常>是同样的道理. 我们今天讲的<易名>就是改变名字, <交易>就是变换东西,那就是<变>. 我常说地球无时无刻都在转, 没有停下來的一刻, 所以风水轮流转. 曾几何时, 欧洲, 大英帝国统治天下, 俄罗斯和美国同起同坐, 美国更曾经不可一世, 但现在呢?

《易》字是由日和月形成, 象徵阴阳. 整六千年前的伏羲氏, 当时人类并没有文字, 他们已知道世界上所有的东西都是由阴阳组成的, 后来科学家发现这世上的东西都有阴阳之分,由最小的原子里的质子proton and 负离子electron到最大的宇宙太阳系里的太阳和星球, 都有阴阳之分. 人类就是因为有阴阳之分才能传宗接代,不是吗?

在《易經》里单数为阳, 双数为阴. 有人告诉我马来西亚人民身分证号码的最后一个号码如果是单数那这个人是男性, 而马来西亚人民身分证号码的最后一个号码如果是双数那这个人是女性. 原来马来西亚政府也会用《易經》?哈!

I-CHING 易经; Philosophy of changes. I-Ching is one the most ancient philosophies of China and it is the core of the “five ching"「五經」. It is ranged the first among the "five ching". The “five ching” are similar to subjects that a student have to take for an A level examination today. Thus, I-Ching is one of the important subjects that all the students have to be well verse. I-Ching is the core of various knowledge, including the knowledge of feng shui. As the matter of fact, I-Ching has existed approximate six thousand years ago by Fuxi when humans during that time did not know how to write or read and hence there was no text, they are only symbols. Some call it “a book from heaven without words” because there was no word.

I- Ching is a very important philosophy in Confucianism. Confucian has written a book about I-Ching and he called the book, “Ten wings” 《十翼》. He wanted to add ten wings to I-Ching to make it fly high. Confucian had been influenced very much by I-Ching. The core belief of Confucian is <仁>, <仁> means (仁爱) benevolence; love; kindheartedness; humanity. The word <仁> is from the Yang line in the Eight Diagrams __ and Yin line in the Eight Diagrams--. If you write the Yang line in the Eight Diagrams __ and Yin line in the Eight Diagrams--upside down, you will get the word <仁>. This is because <仁> is balancing of yin and yang. One cannot be too yang (too aggressive) or too yin (too soft). I always said that everything is about balancing. Therefore the Chinese culture also deeply under of influence of I-Ching. Actually many Chinese characters or words are from I-Ching. I-Ching is not solely for fortune telling purposes. It covers many aspects.

The word I 易in I-Ching is the Chinese word of lizard or chameleon and it means “Changes” as chameleon always change its color. It is in fact in line with the Buddhism belief <无常> impermanence; transiency. Today we know <易名> is change name, <交易> is trading which is done by exchange of things in the olden days. That is <变> change. I often said that our Earth does not stop revolving; hence things always change including Feng Shui. Once, European, British Empire ruled world, Soviet Union and United States were the leaders of the world, United States was insufferably arrogant, but what now?

The word I 易in I-Ching is form from the Chinese words yin and Yang日 Sun and 月 Moon. 6,000 years ago Fuxi knew everything in the world is form by the positive and negative energy. Later scientists discovered that the distinction between yin and yang, everything in the world, by the smallest of the proton and electron in Atom to the largest in the solar system the Sun and the planets of the universe, are all made up of the yin and Yang. Because of yin (female) and yang (male), there is reproduction in human being.

In I-Ching, the singular numbers are regarded as Yang, even numbers as yin. I was told that the last number of the identity card number of the Malaysian is singular for man, while even number is for a woman. Does Malaysian Government apply I-Ching too? Hahaha….

I took a Rapid to the Penang Airport

Rivers around Penang Island are still not clean.

i-phone app, Rapid Penang

I took a Rapid Penang to Penang Airport

Two weeks ago, I decided to take a public transport to Penang Airport so that I could fly to Kuala Lumpur for feng shui audits. My friend, Albert Khaw encouraged me to take a Rapid Penang and he taught how to use the Rapid Penang website, i-phone app and hotline. Surprisingly, after using it, I m now kind of addicted to it as it is very convenient. What you have to do is just to visit its website http://www.rapidpg.com.my/ and key in the location that you want to go and it can help to plan your trip. It will provide the information about the schedule of the bus, bus stop, fare and many more. It has reminded me of those old school days when we used to use 'Seng Seng' bus.

I really love it as I m doing at least a bit to save the Earth. We should encourage public transport as it is more environmental friendly and we save our money too at the same time. I only paid RM2.70 for the bus fare. On top of that, most importantly, I can see many things along the way which I cannot see if I travel in my car. I can see the water in Penang on my way to the airport. As what I always stress that water is important factor in feng shui study and water is money. But, I could noticed that the water in Penang is still far away from what we can define as 'CLEAN'. Hence, more works need to be done to clean up our rivers.

If you visit my official website http://www.penangfengshui.com/ , you will find the above i-con in almost all the pages. YES, I M DOING MY PART AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY TO SAVE THE EARTH. I always encourage online bazi consultation, e-Chinese name study, e-class and e-books whereby you do not have to travel to meet me which save your time, money, petroleum, car maintenance and etc. There are so many benefits that we can list out. But, many still say that they like to meet up with me so that they can understand in more detail. I agree but I WISH YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MY PROBLEM AS I AM WORKING ALONE TO MINIMISE ALL THE OPERATION COST SO THAT I CAN CHARGE MY CLIENTS THE MINIMUM FEE. THIS MAKES MY SCHEDULE TIGHT.

Africa

Now, let us talk about why in feng shui, we always say that "water is money" in a logically manner.

Many thousands years ago, men hunted for living in the forest. Then, men started to do farming and fishing, thus they started to depend heavily on water. After that, they started to learn doing trading and where is the best place to do trading, it is near the water i.e. at the river bank and near the seaside. Men migrated from the forest to flat land and then to the river bank. You will notice that many popular cities are all built next to water such as New York, Hong Kong, Singapore and many more.

Do you know why Africa is the poorest continent among all other continents? It is because comparatively Africa does not have a lot of water compare to the rest. It is in quite a dried land.

My Next Book about Bazi Reading in Chinese

Just like to share with you the progress of my next coming book which is a book about bazi fortune reading in Chinese. I said before it is hard for me to write a bazi reading book in English as I m concerned about the accuracy for me to explain the theories because there are many complicated terms involved.

I have used about a year to prepare this book and I have written 28,000 words as of today but I still feel that there are lots more for me to write a comprehensive book. Even though, I have foreseen it is not an easy job for me due to my hectic schedule but I m still persistent about my dream. Also, it is my belief that if I write something but it is too complicated for the readers to understand, then I better don't write it. The principle for me to write a book is "make it easy and clear!" I guess those have read my books will agree to what I have just said. Hence, I feel that it is a big challenge for me to make the complicated bazi theory a simple and easy to understand book. But, I will take the challenge.

I plan to name the book, "How to DIY Bazi Fortune Reading Scientifically?" "如何很科学的DIY八字算命?"

Below are some notes about my book:-

1. 什么是八字?
八字又稱为四柱, 是根据一个人的出生的年, 月, 日和时辰来计算. 它可告诉我们许许多多的东西. 我们可以用它来推算一个人的命运. 它是我们祖先留传给我们的宝贵财富, 我爱把它稱为我们祖先留传给我们的宝贵知识宝库. 我常鼓励大家以理性的方式研究八字和风水因为这门学问并非迷信, 它是我们祖先的偉大智慧和宝库.

八字的起源是几千年前黃帝时代的伏羲氏所创的最先计算日子的方法, 稱为天干 stem与地支 root.(甲历)

因为地球不断的在旋转, 不同的时间有不同的能量磁场. 当一个人出生时, 当时的能量磁场便会被他所吸收, 而不同时刻的能量磁场将对此人产生排斥或吸引的影响. 以此原理来计算就可以推算一个人的命运. 如果当时的能量磁场是排斥, 那就对此人不利或他将行衰运, 反之, 如果是当时的能量磁场是吸引, 那就对此人有利或他将行好运. 这个原理与磁铁的原理是同道而行的. 当你掌握了自已的命运, 你将知如何去面对它. 当你行好运时, 你可要”衝”. 反之, 当你行衰运时, 你可要”守”.

其实风水八字的原理与爱因斯坦的相对论相似, 都讲就平衡点, 当发现那方面太多就少用它; 而当发现那方面太少就多用它. 可曾听过<水能载舟, 也能覆舟>, 我们需要水来载舟, 但太多水也能覆舟.每件东西都要它的平衡点.

这本书我就不讲更深奥的从強格, 从儿格等. 我常鼓历大家了解自已的八字, 以了解自已的強处与缺点和性格, 这样才能百战百胜. 不然就会像我一样, 走了整十年寃狂路, 在电子工厂作了整十年的工程师才发觉自已不要火, 而且是忌火.

以下的人必走好运:-
1. 一个要金的人，可常去打高爾夫球因为打高爾夫球为白圆色小球, 白与圆为金, 穿白色衣服到白雪皚皚的雪地去,到西方或西北方(属金）从事金融业. 名字里面有金.
2. 一个要水的人，可常去游水, 穿蓝色衣服，到北方（属水）开设矿泉水工厂。名字里面有水如’河’与’江’. 水是柔物，但内藏雄浑之力，水能弯曲其身，处于何种状态的器皿均能变改其形，是代表适应能力，水代表机灵，欠水的人多习水性，其实是增加这些水的的性格，改进自己的性格盲点。
3. 一个要木的人，可常去公园打羽毛球, 穿青色衣服，到东方或东南方(属木）从事种植业或医药业。名字里面有木.
4. 一个要火的人，可常去BBQ, 掛只骏马图在家里因为骏马火強动物, 穿红色衣服,到南方(属火）从事餐飲业, 电子业或电腦业. 名字里面有日.
5. 一个要土的人，可常去爬山因为山为土, 穿黃色衣服, 戴水晶或玉,到东北方或西南方(属土）从事房地产业. 名字里面有土.

我的顧客中有个要土的人, 他从事房地产业, 结果成了拿督. 更有个顧客要火, 从事电腦业, 结果成了百万富翁.

八字四柱是由天干与地支组成. 要了解天干与地支就要先了解五行, 也就是金水木火土.

五行学说为中国远古的一种物质观,旨在认为大自然是由五种元素所构成,那就是金、木、水、火、土。随着这五种元素的盛衰,除了可影响人的命运,同时也使大自然产生变化,以及影响着宇宙万物的循环秩序。

看似抽象的金、木、水、火、土会如何影响宇宙万物的循环秩序?根据五行学说,宇宙万物由金、木、水、火、土,五种基本物质的运行和变化所构成,而五大元素的运行及变化同时也是让宇宙保持平衡。

然而,现代人类为了维生而预支了地球的资源。换句话说,我们目前居住在一个已经失衡的世界。因此,经过数千年的历史来到了21世纪科技时代的今天,五行学说这古老智能所推崇的核心讯息,还是能够发挥着功效。

在太阳系里我们有金、木、水、火、土星.木星绕太阳公转一週是地球绕太阳公转的十二倍,而土星绕太阳公转一週是地球绕太阳公转的三十倍. 金、木、水、火、土星与地球每隔大约六十年便会同宫, 45度内.

在<甲历>里我们有六十甲子, 意思是说每六十年甲子将出现, 因此我们必须承认先人高深而且宝贵的智慧. 他们在几千年前已经可以很精准地把金、木、水、火、土星与地球每隔大约六十年便会同宫的时间给算出来.
