感謝 Jeff 的安排，大年初一早上7時到達深水埗，與義工一起同露宿者拜年，派早餐、衣服、綿被、還有利是。新年，理應一家團聚，但歡樂背後，我城有約1500名無家者。在深水埗走到大角咀，一路上看到想到很多；貧窮問題要由政策解決不易，但我們絕對可以對社會弱勢少一點涼薄，多一點關懷。

新年新氣象，祝各位雞年事事順景。

Many thanks for Jeff's arrangement. We started off the first day of the Chinese New Year at 7am in Sham Shui Po greeting homeless people and distributing breakfast meals, clothes, blankets and red packets. It was a meaningful day and we were all reminded of the importance of compassion and charity.

May I wish you a prosperous, healthy and successful Year of the Rooster!

《把握良機（雞）好過年》
SEIZE THE ROOSTER YEAR! (English version below)

康傑太歲星君，是今年歲次丁酉，的值年太歲星君。吾，玳瑚師父，常給於來者禮儀與禮貌的「培訓」，就是要讓妳你們，積累更深厚的福德，而不是缺損更多的福德啊！我們身為子女，本就應對父母及師長，恭敬作禮，這是眾德之一。倘若連這那麼一點德行亦沒有，吾勸妳你回家吃飯吧！甭拜了，因為妳你始終都是在「拜自己」，不是拜神明，妳你的問題終究堆積成山。我們對人是要有禮，何況是神明啊！

生肖屬鼠，兔、馬、雞的粉絲讀者，可在大年初一至十五間，請高明之士特擇吉日良辰，穿著整齊，備帶鮮花鮮果，到有供奉六十位太歲星君的廟宇祭祀。香、燭、金紙，廟裏可請購。妳你們也可為家屬親屬及自己，點太歲光明燈，祈願在有無沖犯太歲的年裡，都能逢凶化吉、身心身體健康、貴人多助、否極泰來、家庭和合，等等。溫馨提醒，誠心誠意在先哦！否則，「鬼」才會幫妳你。

相信很多很多人，並不十分清楚，何謂沖犯太歲，沖犯太歲又會有何狀況出現？大家想不想知道？唉！怎麼沒有聲音？Can't hear you....!哦....原來吾是在寫文章，而非在茶會中，也非在教室裡，難怪沒有反應。吾即刻抽離茶會與教室角色，回到寫文章的書房裡，繼續完成這年度大作，這就叫做誠心誠意。哈哈哈哈！現在大家就會明白，為何妳你們拜不靈，吾拜會靈吧！拜什麼，做什麼，都要「全神貫注」，方能成就成辦。

沖太歲意指，妳你的本命與歲次的六沖，也是流年最大的影響。沖者家中多會有諸多不順，如；身心身體有違合、官非、血光之災、婚姻及感情煩惱、白事、病疾連連，等等。

犯太歲是指，妳你的本命年與歲次的地支相同，是流年中次大的影響。犯者無喜恐有災，如；身心身體有違合、創業領薪皆不順、破財、白事、傷心的人更傷心，等等。

至於刑沖太歲等，影響之力就沒那麼的大，所屬人際關係及六親關係、契約、合作等事項。

2017丁酉年：四生肖年運淺談

生肖屬兔之人，為流年最受影響者。若無修行之人，就得仰賴「一喜擋三災」這句話了。不過，妳你必需先清楚明白，這「喜」字的真實意，而不是不懂裝懂的去花天酒地、尋花問柳、搶人家的老公老婆、上賭場放手一博、大開黃腔、見利忘為、行欺行扁騙，等等。以上所述皆屬惡行，惡行越多，「惡的磁場」在妳你身上就會越來越重，不單一年不會比一年好，反而一年更比一年衰敗。把自己的快樂建在別人的痛苦上，是缺德非積德。

真正的喜是沒有心機，沒有計較，且完全付出的一種覺受。到最後連這喜的覺受也不執著了，就是真正的喜，大大的喜，福德與功德從中而生，這時才能移開眼前的業障，生機盎然，永享平安富與樂。告訴妳你哦！有錢未必會健康，未必會快樂。這活生生的例子，到昨晚為止，依然「呈現」於面前。想要有效避開災禍，擁抱喜樂富貴，慈悲喜捨的修行，乃天上地下不二法門。

次受流年影響者，為雞肖之人。再次之為馬肖及鼠肖之人。所有流年沖、犯、刑太歲者，可嚮有德與真懂的玄學師父，請教禳解之法，並嚮她他請個吉日良辰，於農曆初一至十五間，著新淨衣服，及「特備」供品，到供有六十為太歲星君廟宇，行祭祀之禮。在此，再溫馨提醒大家，對於神明千萬不可有不捨的心念，吾曾告誡妳你們，鬼神是佈滿十方法界的，我們的起心動念，皆逃不過祂們的監察。

屬兔之人今年勿將有關，兔與雞的擺設品、圖書、字樣及公仔，等等，置放於家中東隅。勿食喪家之物，勿入喪家之居。有信仰者可多持誦，自己所信仰的經、咒。無信仰者不妨唸唸佛菩薩聖號，總好過「碎碎唸」。哈哈哈！家中若有患病老人，請多關注，速帶她他們求診。至於屬兔的年輕人，也要多加注意飲食，多運動。一來保持身體健康，二來保持良好運程，也可免舊患復發。今年宜守不宜攻。若按奈不住想攻，勸妳你還是去請教高明之士吧！別把自己「搞得傷痕累累」。

屬雞之人今年勿參於，她他人的「告別會」。勿食喪家物，勿入喪家居。家中西隅勿置放有關，兔與雞的擺設品、公仔、字樣等等。生於陽曆一九四五、一九五七及一九八一年的雞肖者，流年較為不利，但願生於這三個不同年份的妳你們，今年務實的放開自己，比已往更積極的修福修慧，才能扭轉乾坤，反敗為勝。才能否極泰來啊！切記，切記！

屬鼠之人，今年勿「迷」於妳你那「直覺」，請改掉妳你「獨行俠」的作風，有任何的計劃，不妨與妳你的家人、伴侶、友人，來個「良性會議」，更好的是可以嚮妳你的師父，請教請教，今年必個不受暗箭來傷。鼠肖之人，今年在簽任何合約之前，請再三仔細的閱讀合約內的細節，以免日後煩惱。感情要專一，勿流連風月場所，身心自然安康，錢財也自然安穩。創業或領薪，都得注重細節，以免慘遭淘汰。

屬馬之人，今年怎麼樣都要學會忍讓與寬心。要不然，今年妳你就準備蝕大本，淒慘的過這一年。馬肖之人，性格真的如馬一樣。一樣什麼？一樣「長氣」，一樣「一馬當先」、一樣「好勝」、一樣....。總而言之，統而言之，退一步海闊天空。無論妳你是屬鼠，或是兔、或是馬、或是雞，勿請多加控制妳你那「多情」的習性，感情生活才會美滿、婚姻才會美滿、家庭才會美滿、事業才會美滿。切記！

真正的察知沖犯太歲的方法，不是單看本命年而已。在我們的生辰四柱裡，各柱都有可能沖、犯、刑太歲，甚至在我們的住宅裡外，每年都一定有沖、犯、刑太歲的。吾，玳瑚師父，以這千載難逢的學識，做為另一份超級大禮物，誠送於吾所有的粉絲及讀者們，還有「愛我與不愛我的人」。唉！好像一首歌哦！哈哈哈哈！祝福大家找到真正懂得，為妳你們排憂解難的好師父。也祝願大家，在來臨新的一年裡，福慧增長，修行早好。

The Grand Duke Kang Jie is the Duke of Jupiter (Tai Sui) on duty, for the Lunar Year of the Fire Rooster. Master Dai Hu often gives training on manners and etiquette to his clients, so that they can accumulate more merits, instead of depleting them! As sons and daughters, it is our duty to be filial and respectful towards our parents and teachers. This is the utmost virtue of all. If you do not cultivate this bit of virtue, I advise you to go home. There is no need to do any prayer to the Grand Duke of Jupiter. Because all this while, you are only praying to yourself, and not to the gods, hence your problems will continue to pile up. We ought to treat our fellow human beings with courtesy and respect, let alone the gods!

To all my fans and readers belonging to the horoscopes of the Rat, the Rabbit, the Horse and the Rooster, you should seek the advice of an accomplished practitioner for an auspicious date (between the 1st and 15th Day of the Lunar Month) to make offerings to the Grand Duke of Jupiter. Locate a temple that enshrines the 60 Dukes of Jupiter, and prepare your sincere offerings of fresh fruits, fresh flowers, and be in fresh and neat attire. Add joss papers, incense sticks and candles to your offering by buying them at the temple.

Whether or not your your animal sign clashes with the Tai Sui, you can make a Tai Sui light offering for yourself and your family members, praying for their well-being, good physical and emotional health, family harmony, aversion of misfortunes and getting lots of help from benefactors. A gentle reminder, be sincere for your prayers to be heard by the Grand Duke of Jupiter, or your prayers will not be answered.

I believe that many people are still unclear what it means to "clash and conflict with the Tai Sui". Just what effects will it bring? Would everybody like to know? Why is it all quiet? Can't hear you.. oh, I am writing this at home, not in a tea session or workshop, no wonder there's no response. Let me jolt myself out of my classroom role and back to my study room to complete my biggest masterpiece of this year. This is true sincerity! Hahaha! Now everyone knows why your prayer went unanswered, while mine is not. Be it a prayer or any other activity, you must put in your full focus, so as to achieve success.

A clash with the Tai Sui actually means that the energy signature of your life force is in conflict (direct opposite) with that of Tai Sui. It will result in many obstacles, such as frequent illness of the body and mind, legal woes, injury and bloodshed, marital and relationships issues, funerals, etc.

Another type of clash, known as Offending the Tai Sui, can be easily identified by the similarity in the Earthly Stem of your birth year and the current year. This is the most severe conflict of all. This clash will bring about illnesses, obstacles at work and entrepreneurship, loss of wealth, emotions of sadness, etc.

As for the last type of clash, known as In Punishment with the Tai Sui, the ill effects are significantly less adverse, mainly concerning poor family and interpersonal relationships, contractual and partnership issues, etc.

2017 FIRE ROOSTER YEAR: BRIEF ANALYSIS OF 4 CHINESE ZODIAC SIGNS

Those born under the horoscope of the Rabbit bear the most brunt from a direct clash with the Tai Sui. If that person is not a spiritual practitioner, he or she will have to rely on joyous and auspicious events to ward off misfortunes. However, please understand that the term "joyous and auspicious events" does not equate to addictive drinking, sexual misconduct, snatching another person's spouse, gambling at the casino, telling dirty jokes, being greedy, cheating, etc. These behaviours are non-virtuous deeds, and will attract evil energies onto you, affecting you negatively not only for this year, but worsening for the next few years to come. Placing your joy over the agony of others show a lack of morals, not an act of accumulating merits.

The real essence of joy stems from a state of no self-interest or ulterior motive. It is about giving the whole of yourself. And at the end of it all, free yourself from any attachment to joy itself! It is at this point when merits and fortunes spring forth. It is at this juncture where all obstacles will be removed, and life prospers eternally in bliss and riches. Let me tell you this, having material wealth does not guarantee you good health or happiness. Countless real life true accounts still hold fresh in my memory. The only effective route to avert disaster and enjoy wealth and happiness, is the practice of Four Immeasurables - immeasurable loving kindness, immeasurable compassion, immeasurable emphatic joy and immeasurable equanimity.

The second horoscope affected by the clash with Tai Sui is the Rooster. It is second in place, in terms of severity, followed by the Horse and lastly, the Rat. For all the signs who clash with the Tai Sui, do seek advice from an accomplished master on how to avert the ill effects. Humbly ask for an auspicious date and time (during the first 15-day period of the Chinese New Year), and don clean clothing and prepare special offering, before making your way to the temple, which enshrines the 60 Tai Sui to perform the offering ritual.

Here's a gentle reminder from me: it does not pay to be stingy with your offerings. I once told you that the gods and the spirits are everywhere in the Ten Dharma Realms, and our every thought and deed shall not escape their surveillance.

For those born under the horoscope of the Rabbit, please do not place any Rabbit or Rooster related objects, picture book, figurine, wordings, etc, in the East sector of your house. Please also avoid consuming food from bereaved families or visiting their homes. If you have a religious faith, please do more recitation of the mantra or sutra. If you have no religion, you may want to recite the holy name of the Buddhas or Bodhisattvas. It is better than "reciting" words of complaint! Hahaha! If you have ailing elders at home, please take extra caution. When they fall ill, do not hesitate to bring them to see the doctor. For the young ones, please watch your diet and exercise regularly to maintain good health and good luck cycle. This will prevent old injuries from recurring. This is a year where it is favourable for you to maintain a defensive stance, rather than a full frontal assault. If you must "attack", do consult an accomplished master for advice. I would not wish to see you end up with "multiple injuries" from potential setbacks.

For those born under the horoscope of the Rooster, in this year, avoid attending funerals, and consuming food from bereaved homes, and refrain from visiting homes of bereaved family and friends. Do not place any object relating to the Rabbit or the Rooster such as decorative items, figurine, wordings, etc in the west sector of your house. If you are born in the following years: 1945, 1957 and 1981, it will be a bumpy ride this year. I hope those of you born in these 3 years will take heed and work doubly hard this year to accumulate more merits and wisdom to turn the tide to your favour, and achieve victory! Remember my words!

For those born under the horoscope of the Rat, please don't overindulge in your gut feel, and refrain from going solo in all things you do. Do have constructive discussions with your family members, partner,and friends on whatever plans you might have for this year. An even better plan would be to seek the advice from your Master, so as to avoid being struck by "hidden arrows". When handling all contractual matters, please go over the contract in detail before signing,. This will save yourself from future woes. Be faithful in your relationship, be it you are a business owner or an employee, to ensure that you stay relevant.

For those born in the year of the Horse, no matter how difficult it may be, you must cultivate the virtues of tolerance and equanimity. Otherwise, be prepared to suffer huge losses and have a miserable year ahead. People of this horoscope share many characteristics with the animal Horse. What are the similarities? They are long winded, always like to step ahead of the crowd, always like to win, etc. Take my advice, always take a step back, endure in a moment of anger and all will be well. Be it you are of the horoscope Rat, Rabbit, Horse, or Rooster, please take extra care to curb your "emotional exuberance" to ensure a blissful marriage or relationship. Family harmony and career success always goes hand in hand. Do not forget!

The authentic method to find out if you are affected by the clash with Tai Sui is not by solely looking at your birth year. There lies possibilities of a clash with Tai Sui in each of the four pillars in your Bazi. Even your own residence will clash with Tai Sui, every single year, be it a conflict, damage, punishment and discord! Master Dai Hu, with this rare knowledge, present this article as a super great gift to all my fans, readers and those who don't love me too!

Wishing everyone the best of affinity to find an accomplished master to solve your woes. In this upcoming Lunar New year, may your merits and wisdom increase this year and embark on your own spiritual journey very soon.
