We look for the source of geomantic omen. If geomantic omen is not good, we can't make money, or there is a disaster, so we go to the temple to worship and beg. These are all superficial things, not real. We have given our fate to the master, auspicious items and clay statues in the temple, which can't completely change our fate. What I want to tell you is that filial piety and ancestor worship are the source of Feng Shui. Let's think about where our lives come from. From my parents and ancestors. What are the parents' ancestors? Is our root. When we water, we should water the roots together, which are deeply rooted and naturally flourish.
My fortune has been good all these years, and the store I took over has become the most popular and the best business in that market. At work, I didn't even finish the third grade of primary school, so far I can't write, but I work in a state-owned enterprise. I used to be an assistant to the general manager, and now I am an assistant to the chairman. Most of the companies have a bachelor's degree or above, and my education is the lowest. Why can I have such a good development as an uneducated person?
I often tell my wife, where do my blessings come from? From filial piety to parents, this is the first one. I have never spoken loudly to my parents, and I will kneel and salute on my birthday during the Spring Festival. I do the same for my parents-in-law. Although many diviners think that my life is short and my name is not good, isn't it a miracle that I still live to this day, my salary is rising and my position is rising? Nowadays, college students can't find jobs. I'm illiterate, and I'm often invited to give lectures at universities, even to graduate students and doctors.
As for filial piety, I dare not say that it is perfect, but it should still be quite good, which is why it is rewarded now. My family enshrines ancestral tablets. Why do I believe this? I met a master in the past. He said that you were blessed by your ancestors, or you would have died long ago. When I thought about it, I fell from the upstairs when I was a child, and no one cared. I lay there for two hours and recovered myself. I got a scar under my nose and all the scars on my face were healed. Our hometown is Luoyang, Henan Province. When I came home one year, my uncle showed me the genealogy of the Qin family. Only then did I know that more than four generations of the Qin family had a great grandfather who became a monk and an abbot. Some people in the family practice in the temple, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and bless my descendants. When I got home, I asked a mage to write me an ancestral tablet.
How wonderful is ancestor worship
There are other legal holidays during the Qingming period. Can we really think of the benefits of ancestors when we go to worship ancestors? It is very important to think about the grace of our ancestors. I have been to a family in Shandong, with a population of 2 to 3. What do the eldest sons and grandsons of each family want to do on New Year's Eve every year? Vigilance at ancestor worship. Therefore, this family has a large number of civil servants working in various places. I was told that their geomantic omen is good. I said that you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. This family is good at geomantic omen because they know where their roots are and they know how to worship their ancestors.
when offering sacrifices to ancestors, burn incense as yang and paper as yin. In ancient times, old people would say that there was no incense in that family. What do you mean, no incense? Childless and childless. Incense also represents wealth. Be pious when offering sacrifices to our ancestors. Our family can flourish now, because of our ancestors' accumulated virtues.
? When is the ancestor worship? Qingming Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival on July 15th, cold clothes on the first day of October, and the winter solstice, plus New Year's Eve, should be five times. We can offer sacrifices to our ancestors according to local customs. We can't go back to work outside, or we can offer sacrifices from a distance, burning some paper and incense in the direction of our hometown. This is called not forgetting the root. Only by knowing how to repay gratitude can we get the protection and care of our ancestors, and the family's fortune will be better. If conditions permit, it is unfilial not to show the intention of commemorating our ancestors.
There was a boss. After his parents died, he made two small statues to offer at home, just like offering Buddha. He burned incense in the morning and evening and had three meals a day. This boss has assets of tens of billions, how can he have such a big blessing? It's filial piety. He said that his parents died five or six years ago, and his yearning for them increased. Did we? I even heard a lot of strange voices: "Strange, why didn't anyone die these two days?" I was surprised and said, "Why do you want to die?" "You don't know, this dead man can sing and sing. It's very lively!"
I've been to the funeral several times now. I think it's a wedding. Everyone is jumping around. It's really sad and happy! When your parents die, you are very respectful. If you follow the normal funeral ceremony, your parents may live in the hearts of friends or neighbors for a long time. However, singing, dancing or singing is to publicize that your family is dead, which is not filial piety. Tell everyone through the funeral, you see that I am very filial, I am rich, I have invited so many guests, and I have a lot of face. What should I take my parents for? Oil and polish your face!
after the death of many parents, the photos of parents who worship the sacrifices will be burned, saying that everyone is dead. Why do you need photos? How unlucky this is! He also told me: "Teacher Qin, it's not that we don't stay. Our family has a one-bedroom apartment and there is no place to hang it." When I got home, the photos of their husband and wife were full.
ancestors are the roots of a family. If the roots don't move, the branches will shake again and stop for a while, but once the roots move, they will die if they are uprooted. Therefore, roots are very important. We should not think that we are capable and blessed, and we have earned so much money. Tell you, without the protection of our ancestors, where did you get this blessing? As far as names are concerned, there are many people with the same name and surname as you. Why did you get rich and he was unlucky? Those born at the same time in the same year, the same month and the same day have different fates. If you really understand this truth, you will miss the virtue of your ancestors for a long time.
Someone associated ancestor worship with believing in ghosts and gods and asked me, "Teacher Qin, have you ever seen a ghost?" I said I had seen it. He said where the ghost was, and I said you were a ghost. He said, why do you call me a ghost? I said, think about how long it will take you to stop talking and do ghost things, right? You're not a ghost, what is it? Some people are rich and spend more than 1 million to buy a cemetery. I said you are alive and dead. Grab the land with ghosts when you are alive, proving that you want to be a ghost. Let's not think of ourselves as ghosts.
Mr. Fan Zhongyan, a former prime minister, asked Mr. Feng Shui to show him a graveyard, hoping to bury his ancestors. After reading it, Mr. Feng Shui said, "On the surface, this place looks excellent in Feng Shui, but whoever buried his ancestors in this place will be childless." Mr. Fan Zhongyan said, "Then bury my ancestors in this place." Why? Others buried here and killed everyone else's family. If I occupy this place, others will not be harmed. God bless your kindness! People are doing things, and the sky is watching. God, who is it? Heaven is the heart, and when conscience is turned out, it can be combined with heaven and earth. So you see, Mr. Fan Zhongyan's family has flourished for more than a thousand years.
When I was in Guangdong, a friend told me that he took a fancy to a geomantic omen. There were only one or two people living in a small temple, and many masters said that the geomantic omen in that place was particularly good. When I think about it, people grab the land with God. Isn't this a death wish? I immediately asked, "Has anyone else thought about that place?" He said that a big boss planned to give some money to get the monks out, tear down the temple and take the ancestral graves to that place. Who knows that they haven't moved yet, but they have committed crimes and been detained. I said that the man was detained before he argued. Don't you want to be detained? If you compete with God, you will bury your ancestors in this place. If your business is prosperous, what is it called? God forbid. If you want your children and grandchildren to prosper, geography will not allow you. People should understand the truth of people, that is, the truth of ethics and the truth of heaven and earth, and we should not violate it. Feng shui can't be robbed, and good feng shui can be met but not sought.
I showed my friend a geomantic omen, and I told him, "If your whole family gets sick after I leave, it will prove that this land is not suitable for you and you can't buy it. Germany is not worthy, you can't live. Blessed people live in blessed land, and blessed land lives in blessed land. " After I left, all of them caught a cold, and none of the dozen people was an exception, and they were extremely heavy. He said how to change this situation? I said, men don't eat, drink, go whoring, gamble and smoke, women don't eat, drink and dress well, balance yin and yang, honor their parents in the world, be responsible for their partners and children in the middle, and prosper their children in the next.
I have seen a cemetery in my hometown. There is an old man in this family who is over ninety years old. After reading it, I will tell them that you should remember what I said and be filial to the elderly, and this grave will be prosperous for future generations. It was a miracle that the old man was buried in that place after his death. At that time, only two children in our area were recruited to go to state units, to go to school, and to be paid, including his grandson. The family thanked me and said that their family had never produced such a good child for generations. I said we should pay attention to it. If the graveyard collapses, it will prove that your filial piety is deficient.
from then on, they will pay attention to it every time they go to the grave. Once it was found that something was wrong, and the place where the stone tablet was erected collapsed. I said that if it collapses three times, your child will have a problem. I asked, was the old man sick when he died? They said they were sick and paralyzed for three years. In these three years, did you scold the old man for being old and immortal? This woman didn't speak. She finally said, Teacher Qin, I repent.
? She said that the old man ate a lot, pulled a lot, and pulled it everywhere before his death, and she said, "You old immortal, you are still alive." I said that if you cut the roots of trees with a knife, can children thrive? She said, what should I do? I said, you should sincerely repent. Think about it. When you were one to three years old, you wet your pants. Your parents didn't think you were dirty and scrubbed you clean. You are so heartless and want to make your children prosperous. No way. They used cement to make the collapsed place, finished the whole thing, and collapsed three times in a row. The child had a holiday during the Chinese New Year, and something happened to him. Since then, I have vowed not to show Feng Shui to anyone. Now I only give lectures.
