【當吉祥物變凶物】(English writing below)
WHEN AUSPICIOUS ORNAMENTS TURNED INAUSPICIOUS

我最近看到幾位臉書的朋友，每天都在分享一些賣風水吉祥物的直播。直播主播往往都是長髮披肩的年輕貌美女子。這些直播幾乎每天開播，一開播就是數小時。

熱情漂亮的主播，亮麗的背景，近距離打燈讓觀眾各角度看精緻的風水吉祥物，主播清脆的聲音宣說著吉祥物的利處 — 這是很吸睛的宣傳手法。

在這裡，想說件真人真事。

我有位看八字的客人，年頭時看了我這Youtube影片而認識了我：https://youtu.be/dtcU9GG80wQ。

（我頻道裡第二流量最高的影片 #大力推薦）

她私訊我如何為流產的孩子報名超度。我引導她去報名我根本上師，蓮生活佛，每星期日的護摩法會。

同時，我提醒了她：「居家內勿擺放太多水晶或風水吉祥物。這些都會影響母親受孕及懷胎。東西擺錯方位，也會導致孩子夭折。」

有些東西可以催財，卻也會損丁、危害健康等，需要配合夫妻的八字，居家風水的方位，流年的九星風水飛動等來確定是否擺對。

這客人家裡有十多隻金蟾和貔貅等「吉祥物」。聽了我的話，把好一些都打進「冷宮」。

人人都想出少少力，賺多多又快進來的錢，所以風水吉祥物總能很輕易地勾起很多人的貪欲，讓人蜂擁而至，但你要分享這類的直播時，請三思。

美女主播不是風水師。她們沒有花十多年的時間去研究八字命理和風水學。她們的工作，是賣越多，便能賺越多。

如果你本身不夠福份，你這裡錢進來，那裡就從你的生命扣掉別的東西，可能是身體健康、婚姻、事業、學業、孩子或精神健康。

因為你的命扛不起，所以不要貪心，先把家裡的基本風水搞好，有時就已能解決很多問題了。

另外，對一些喜歡分享售賣活海鮮直播的朋友，溫馨提醒，它們雖然是畜生，但都是珍貴的生命。以前做人做不好，才會被貶入畜生道，供人宰殺。可是我們人這樣做，不是沒有造業的。

鼓勵殺生不是人應該做的，也沒有人願意投胎做海鮮，被人如此販賣宰殺，因此， 還是最好不要分享此類直播。

我看到這類的直播時，我會多唸往生咒迴向給這些動物。你也可以這麼做，長養菩提心，廣結善緣，為自己為後代多積善功德。

往生短咒 （7、21、49、108遍，越多越好）：
往生淨土
超生出苦
阿彌陀佛
阿彌陀佛

Recently, I have been seeing some Facebook friends sharing FB Live broadcast of companies peddling auspicious Feng Shui ornaments. The broadcasters are mainly young pretty ladies with flowing long locks. These live broadcasts are streamed almost everyday, and usually last for a few hours.

These live streams have a few characteristics - friendly and pretty broadcasters with a clear and melodious voice that introduces the benefits of the ornaments, a vibrant background, focused lighting that showcases the exquisite auspicious ornaments from all angles.

These marketing tactics sure draw a lot of eyeballs easily.

Here let me tell you a real-life story of my client:

This Bazi client got to know me, by watching this Youtube video of mine at the beginning of this year: https://youtu.be/dtcU9GG80wQ
(2nd most watched video on my channel #highlyrecommend)

She PM me for information on how to register for bardo deliverance for her baby lost through miscarriage. I guided her to register for my Grandmaster, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng's weekly homa ceremonies.

At the same time, I reminded her, "Gentle reminder, do not place too many crystals or Feng Shui auspicious ornaments at home. All these will affect the mother's chances of conceiving and pregnancy. When the ornament is placed at the wrong sector, it can also cause the baby to die prematurely.

While some ornaments can accelerate wealth, they can also harm the descendants or personal health etc. These objects need to be placed in the right sector, based on the Bazi of the couple, Feng Shui of the home, the movement of the 9 Flying Stars etc. Not anyhow hentam.

This client has maybe about 15 Golden Toads and Pixius etc placed at home. After hearing my words, she banished a large number of them to the cold palace.

Many people have this hope of doing less and yet making more and fast money, so such Feng Shui auspicious ornaments can often easily invoke the greed in people who flock to them, despite saying that they do not believe in Feng Shui.

However, if you wish to share such FB Live streams, please think twice.

The pretty broadcasters are not trained and experienced Feng Shui masters. They did not spend over a decade to study Bazi, destiny and Feng Shui. Their work is to sell more and earn more.

If you do not have sufficient good fortune, when money comes pouring into your pocket, another aspect will be deducted from your life, be it physical health, marriage, career, studies, children or mental/emotional health.

Because your Destiny isn't strong enough to fit all in. So please do not be greedy. Get the foundational Feng Shui of your home in order first, and you will realise that hey, sometimes many of your life problems can already be resolved.

Another gentle reminder to FB friends who have taken a fancy to sharing FB live streams selling live seafood.

These may merely be animals, but they are also precious lives. They committed many sins when they were humans and hence, got degraded to the realm of animals, having to suffer the destiny of being slaughtered for human food.

However, this does not mean what we do as humans is sin-free.

We should never encourage others to kill. Nobody wishes to be reincarnated as a prawn, sotong, lala or fish to be sold and murdered against one's will. Hence, my advice is it is best not to share such live broadcasts.

When I see such livestreams on my newsfeed, I will recite the Deliverance Mantra and dedicate the recitations to these animals. You can do the same too. Cultivate your bodhicitta and form more virtuous affinities. These will go a long way to help yourself and your descendants to accumulate virtuous merits.

Short Deliverance Mantra
(7, 21, 49, 108 times, or the more the merrier):

往生淨土 Wang Sheng Jing Tu
超生出苦 Chao Sheng Chu Ku
阿彌陀佛 Amituofo
阿彌陀佛 Amituofo

This location now gaining a lot of popularity and i heard that visitor are queueing to take photos here.. ⁣
Oh well, i knew this place few years ago and decided to do my first visit last year, after the ghost month (7th month on Chinese calendar, usually fall in August).. However on my first attempt to take photo here, bougainvillea flowers were started to wither and decided to come again on March this year.. ⁣
This photo taken last March when bougainvillea in full bloom, but okay it wasn’t this perfect.. I admitted to touch up this on photoshop to make it more dreamy.. 😝⁣

Located in Hougang, this is the largest Japanese cemetery in Southeast Asia and the burial ground of Singapore’s early Japanese community.⁣
The sprawling 30,000-square-metre Japanese Cemetery Park contains nearly 1,000 graves of Japanese civilians in Singapore and soldiers mostly from the early 20th century.⁣
Founded by three Japanese brothel-keepers, the cemetery was built in 1891 as a burial ground for karayuki-san, or Japanese women brought here for prostitution, many of whom died poor and destitute. Over the years, other Japanese civilians were buried here, mostly during the pre-war years. The well-kept park also holds the ashes of Japanese soldiers, marines and airmen killed during World War II, as well as the remains of Japanese war criminals who were executed at Changi Prison.

Some people said it’s inauspicious to visit a cemetery during 7th month on Chinese calendar, do you believe it or not?⁣
When i read about the story above, i would prefer not to visit this place during ghost month. 😅⁣
