OF CAR ACCIDENTS AND AMULETS

Lately, there is a car accident incident that claim the lives of three young children.


If you had read the newspapers, you will definitely know about this terrible news as it was all over the front pages.


This tragic news reminded me of a very shocking event more than 30 years ago where some of my  friends whom I knew who are going for a trip to somewhere. Then, they got involved a serious accident and it is really saddening. Only ONE survived whom I met him at the hospital.


If the bad luck did not affect them seriously, they would had become doctors, lawyers or professionals by now. The one who survived had serious injuries who luckily survived the accident and had became a doctor in private practice.


This is one of the reasons why in so many years whenever there is someone who fixed an appointment with me to meet in Ipoh, I always remind them to drive slow and very carefully, as well as not to rush as I would be waiting patiently for them!


Most people do not know when they are facing bad luck or mishaps would be happened to them. However, it is advisable to wear some talismans or amulets for protection to reduce the afflictions of bad and killing energy. If one who wore the amulet for protection, he or she would have survived the accident. Amulets that are for protection can reduce the afflictions of bad luck as well as enhancing luck to the bearer.


All drivers are advised to becareful when you drive. It is very difficult to foresee what will happen for the Bad Luck is a killer who never sleeps. And it will keep searching for those who had weak luck and those who are full of bad Chi. And when it finds one, it strikes. However, wearing a amulet and absorbing good Chi energy from a surrounding with excellent lively Chi everyday can DEFINITELY make a difference. 


Drive safely. Remember to protect yourself and your loved ones.


Good Luck to you all always!

SETTING FREE OF ANIMALS

During Vesak Day, Buddhists all around the world celebrate the birth of Buddhist religion that teaches compassion and wisdom. 


Releasing of animals into the wild by setting them free is one of the good ways to do good deeds as well as to show loving kindness. Being kind to animals enable us to achieve good karma (merits). We can release and liberate animals on any occasion and whenever we want.

Within our communities, we can 'liberate' animals by being kind to stray cats and dogs, by teaching our children to be kind to them, by speaking out against abuse, by advocating the humane method of animal population control with sterilization instead of culling, by adopting rescued pets in shelters. 


For Buddhists, before we set any animals free, we believe that all animals love to practice the teachings of Buddha such as in the loving kindness and abstaining from killing.  Therefore, we usually help these animals a greater favor by praying for them with a ritual rite that will enable these animals to be reborn as Buddhists or humans in their after life. According to Buddhism, these animals or creatures might become your or friends or helpful people or even your descendants in their future lives! International Feng Shui  Master Stanley Tham has received many requests in assisting his clients to chant for them before releasing the animals as well as enquiries from his clients on methods of freeing the animals. It is very simple and everyone could do it on their own. 


The rite is as follows :-


1) Place the animals in front of the Buddha Statue(s). If there are no Buddha Statues, the rite can still be perfectly performed.
2) Prepare a glass of water with pamelo leaves.
3) Tell these animals with compassion slowly that today is a wonderful day for them to be set free and you are performing a ceremony for them to be blessed as Buddhist disciples, wish these animals good luck and to be reborn as human beings filled with loving kindness, be good citizens, and useful to the society by contributing and helping their country as well as their fellowmen.
4) Sprinkle the water on them while chant the following prayers :


Buddham saranam gacchami 
 I go to the Buddha for refuge.

Dhammam saranam gacchami 
 I go to the Dhamma for refuge.


Sangham saranam gacchami 
I go to the Sangha for refuge. 

Dutiyampi Buddham saranam gacchami
For a second time, I go to the Buddha for refuge.

Dutiyampi Dhammam saranam gacchami
For a second time, I go to the Dhamma for refuge.


Dutiyampi Sangham saranam gacchami 
For a second time, I go to the Sangha for refuge.

Tatiyampi Buddham saranam gacchami 
For a third time, I go to the Buddha for refuge.

Tatiyampi Dhammam saranam gacchami 
For a third time, I go to the Dhamma for refuge. 


Tatiyampi Sangham saranam gacchami 
For a third time, I go to the Sangha for refuge.

The largest size of the tortoise is at least 2 feet by 14 inches

These nine tortoise were timely safe by Master Stanley Tham at the market when others were already killed by the dealers as required by some buyers for herbal soups!

Most people write onto the back of tortoises with the Chinese wordings '生' which means LIVE in red pain to advise as well as to warned others that these animals are being set free by others and should not to be caught or killed. However, our Master Tham advised that with Green paint also help tortoises to camouflage in forests and rivers.


International Feng Shui Master Tham said that whether one is a Buddhist or not, his/her loving kindness in freeing the animals without any Buddhist prayers will also achieve great merits! For your information, mouse that are trapped inside a cage should be set free and snakes that had been caught should also be set free in the jungle. Abstain from killing animals. Some people planted fruit trees and others even bought fruits which are purposely kept outside to feed the birds and squirrels!


Advises:


1) When setting birds free, make sure you are doing it far away from road as they might be weak upon being released and thus, unable to fly high and could easily killed by the impact of vehicle's front windscreen or crushed to death by wheels.


2)  If it involves setting free ot tortoises, make sure the area is inside the jungle ( not advisable in a caged temple pond ), or surrounding areas that are vast enough for them to survive.  Do not left them at the fringe side of the highway which were fenced that will prevent them from entering into the forest. They might be killed when they are forced to look for a greener pasture when trying to cross over of  the other side of the highway.


Thanking you so much for reading this article.  May you all be well and happy always!

IS IT A GOOD MARRIAGE ON 11/11/2011 ?

IS IT A GOOD MARRIAGE ON 11/11/2011 ?

Nowadays, when it comes to choosing a marriage date, a majority of couples would first consider its convenience for themselves, their relatives and friends who are attending their weddings. Some chose their date because of the popularity of the date itself or to be with among the crowd. Majority of them do not understand how importance it is that good date and good timing as well with combatable of dates among their sibling would enhance good marital bliss for the couple as well as also enjoyed good and lasting relationships with the couples parents and their siblings. 

The popularity of date or at the spur of the moment to be with the crowd is very alluring, but many couples does not know an improper date would give them the bad energies, such as without marital bliss, without or difficulty of having children or failure in enjoying with good financial standing for the family.

When date is bad it have to be absolutely avoided. An experience astrology master would not chose a date that is harmful to anybody. Why couples have to face suffering for such bad date unnecessary which may be a tragedy or losses could neve be recover before the arriving of good omens!

An experienced astrologer would not simply judge a date or period or even a person's basic life style good or bad by only studying one's single number or a combination of numbers. We cannot predict a couple's life correctly by concluding that a tiger and rabbit is not compatible with each other just because of by their nature of their year born animal sign - a gentle rabbit would be easily eaten up the by the fierce tiger. We have to study carefully of their correct day, month year and time and place of birth before we could predict their life correctly.  


Before Master Tham published his annual new year book 2008 many feng shui masters just joined into the fray by believing whether it is compatible or not by simply judging the partner's animal zodiac signs.  However, International Feng Shui Master Tham who is a genuine expert in astrology published his first book, the Year of the Rat 2008, he is the first Chinese Astrologer and Feng Shui Master in the world to explain that we should not just decide two person's compatibility by just judging their animal signs. With his outstanding records and vast knowledge in feng shui and astrology he bravely confidently prove that it is wrong to judge a couple's compatibility with animal zodiac signs.  In his first published book, he immediately and strictly advised that their correct date, month, year, the time and minutes as well as their place of birth must be studied carefully to analyze the compatibility of that two particular person.


After International Feng Shui Master Tham revealed this truth to the world, there are now a lot of Feng Shui Masters around the world - locally and in overseas followed and mimicked Master Tham's findings, where he had uphold for a very long time. Please remember that it is wise to seek a genuine and true Feng Shui master who knows what he is doing and able to differentiate flaws and full of genuine and true knowledge of Feng Shui and Astrology.

FROM WORLDWIDE TRUTH FENG SHUI ANNUAL MAGAZINE 2011 (AUSPICIOUS AND INAUSPICIOUS DATES WITH TIME ARE INCLUDED IN THE BOOK)

As for the date 11/11/2011 it is a good date but according to the Chinese almanac it is not suitable for those involved in it who are born in 1924, 1936, 1966, 1984 and 1996. However, I have mentioned above for accuracy that any person involved on this date 11/11/2011 if his or her day, month, year, place and time of birth are compatible then it is wonderful day.

Do you know that it is important that it have been years of practices for the Chinese when couples getting marriage it required to chose a good date and time to trim their hair and fixing of bed by a senior couples which must been enjoyed blissful marriage, good luck, long life and good offsprings! The invitation cards must also named with the elders who must be blessed with good luck and blissful marriage, not to be from a widower or unmarried siblings! In fact you would not be surprised that I have met some senior families who required me to feng shui their building not only because of my reliability in enhancing the good feng shui for them but because they wanted for a feng shui master who is with blissful marriage, very good luck, having good off springs to come to their buildings to radiant the building with good energies.

So next time when any of you or your family members getting marriage please do not forget in choosing an auspicious date!

Wishing all couples a happy and wonderful marriages!

CAN A FENG SHUI MASTER HELP AN INDIVIDUAL WHEN HE/SHE IS HAVING BAD LUCK OR IN DANGER?

International Feng Shui Master said that a Feng Shui Master can help an individual when he or she is in danger or having bad luck only if he or she has the chance earlier to seek a genuine and true Feng Shui Master. A true Feng Shui Master can notice whether bad luck is coming to that particular person by looking at their face or life chart. If such person have not visited the master personally but through his parents, wife or friend who bring along his or her correct date and time of birth, the master is able to easily find out the person's upcoming of imminent danger, good or bad luck, such as financial problems to the extent of bankruptcies, accidents, sickness, surgery and medical operations, arguments, relationship problems and even imminent divorces as well as extra marital partners.

Remedying the Feng Shui of the occupant's house and cleaning the building out of bad Chi could greatly get rid of bad luck and ward off imminent accidents. Huge accidents will become minor accidents and minor accidents will become 'un-happening incidents' - where the minor accidents will not happen at all.

However, the Master stated that if the Feng Shui is good and done correctly by a genuine Master, one will achieve huge wealth and success when their life charts with good stars approach them in the correct timing. They will be able to enjoy the benefits of good luck completely if the Feng Shui is good. However, if there is no good Feng Shui but that person have good luck, the luck won't be able to assist that particular person completely.


Master Tham famously said "Feng Shui acts as a Bridge, not only to cross through a river or sea of bad luck and problems, but also to cross over to a place of good luck, wealth and happiness."  Further blessing by a truth and genuine mystic master like our International Feng Shui Master Stanley Tham who is a truth,proven effective and reliable master in mysticism would enhance further positive energies of good luck, health, prosperity,marital, to you - especially in some cases where mysticism are required further to accomplish it or overcome serious problems and mishaps. Therefore this also backup Master Tham in his Feng Shui services that greatly benefit his clients.

The master advises everyone not to attend places that accumulates bad Chi such as a cemetery without wearing protection takruts or amulets in order to avoid bad luck or spirits.

FENG SHUI OF HUTONG ALLEYWAYS AND SIHEYUAN HOUSES, BEIJING, CHINA

EXAMPLE OF A HUTONG HOUSE IN CHINA

            If you pay Beijing City a visit in China, remember to grab the opportunity to take a tour through the famous Hutong alleyways that connects the ancient residential houses known as Siheyuan. A Hutong is an alleyway formed by Siheyuan houses. A Siheyuan (Chinese: 四合院 which means Four Harmonious Courtyard)  is a historical type of residence that was commonly found throughout China, most famously in Beijing. In English, Siheyuan are sometimes referred to as Chinese quadrangles. The name literally means a courtyard surrounded by four buildings. In ancient times, a spacious Siheyuan would be occupied by a single, usually large and extended family, signifying wealth and prosperity. Today, many remaining Siheyuan are still used as housing complexes, but many lack modern amenities.

During China’s dynastic period, emperors planned the city of Beijing and arranged the residential areas according to the social classes of the Zhou Dynasty. The term "hutong", originally meaning "water wells", appeared first during the Yuan Dynasty.

Since the mid-20th century, the number of Beijing Hutong Villages has dropped dramatically as they were demolished to make way for new roads and buildings. The Chinese government had then pronounced a lot of Hutong Villages as protected areas.

A Siheyuan residential house is surrounded by four parts of buildings that link each other, forming a square with an empty space at the middle. What is the reason behind this unique formation of buildings that form one single residential house?

Master Tham explained that these ancient residential houses were built and designed in square shapes which face 4 different directions and there are a lot of Feng Shui reasons behind this unique architecture. Each residential building in a Siheyuan house have their own Feng Shui properties. There are a lot of Feng Shui theories about the architecture of a Siheyuan residential house. Master Tham will now explain further about the Feng Shui of Siheyuan residential houses through the true perspective of Feng Shui.

A BIRDS EYE VIEW OF A HUTONG HOUSE

SIHEYUAN HOUSES AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS

Siheyuan houses hold one of the oldest and ancient Chinese architectures in the world. Nearly all Siheyuan had their main buildings and gates facing south for better lighting and to avoid the Northern Cold Wind; thus a majority of hutongs run from east to west. Between the main Hutongs, many tiny lanes ran north and south for convenient passage. The widths of ordinary pathways are around 24 steps wide while narrow Hutongs are only about 12 steps wide. Inside each of these houses, there are no open air spaces except at the middle of all the residential house where an empty square area was completely exposed to the sky. This exposed area is normally used as a garden and the residents will come out to have family activities such as drinking tea and talk with the family members, or playing with their children. Each main door of these ancient Siheyuan holds the signboard that tells people the family who are currently occupying the residential house. Most of the signboards are fitted with family surnames.

INTERNATIONAL FENG SHUI MASTER THAM IN HUTONG, BEIJING

 Master Tham took a deep breath and said, ‘When Beijing starts to develop, a lot people started to demolish these ancient Siheyuans and Hutongs to build big roads and buildings. The ordinary Feng Shui properties were crushed and most of the ancient architectural characteristics were disrupted. Old Hutong Alleyways were widen up for car transportation and had been replaced by tar roads while old buildings with Feng Shui structures had been torn down for the development of new buildings. Nowadays, there are very little Hutongs and Siheyuan houses left in Beijing, so few that the government started to pronounce them as protected areas. These houses and alleyways are inter-connected to form a good Feng Shui property and they features how Feng Shui is widely practiced and implemented by the ancient people of China.

FENG SHUI OF HUTONGS AND SIHEYUAN IN ARCHITECTURAL PERCEPTION

The Siheyuan houses are compactly arranged together and the back side of the Siheyuan is very narrow, full of other houses. The Main door is connected by the wide main road. Narrow and compacted housing is presumed to have bad Feng Shui. However, these Siheyuan houses are seperated by Hutongs and thus, creating small spaces between each houses. Master Tham explained that the main road is very wide and this architectural design had changed the Feng Shui of Siheyuans and Hutongs completely. Master Tham added that houses that are compacted but have a wide and low main road is good as this enables good Chi flow to enter each residential house.

IMPORTANCE OF HUTONG ALLEYWAYS

CHI FLOWS THROUGH ALLEYWAYS

Hutong Alleyways normally have small drains at their sides, connecting each other Hutongs and the main road. The Hutong Alleyways is very important in destining the Feng Shui of a Siheyuan residential area. They are built with the advice of great Feng Shui masters that forms the arrangement accordingly to Feng Shui principles. A single renovation on a Hutong alleyway is capable in disrupting the good Feng Shui of the entire area. This is because the flow of Chi is disrupted and will not be able to harmonize each other as it flow through the main road and into the other pathways.

IMPORTANCE OF OPEN SPACE FENG SHUI

In ancient times, there is definitely an open space area in any type of residential buildings. The open space was carefully designed according to Feng Shui principles to allow rain water to water the plans and trees which gave out strong positive energy to the occupants. Rain that falls in the evenings had Yin Properties that brings comfort and peace to the occupants. Master Tham explained that open airs enables sunlight to enter each residential house. The sunlight had Yang Chi properties that will bring good luck and signifies success as they shine into the residential houses – into the rooms of the occupants. Therefore, a Siheyuan has very good Feng Shui if the middle of the Siheyuan is exposed to sunlight and rain as both Yin and Yang energies are able to balance up each other. This produce an extremely comfortable and peaceful environment with good Feng Shui features that will bring good luck, success, happiness, and peace to the occupants.  This is the reason why Master Tham always advise his clients that each empty land should not be always covered with concrete, but to be filled with suitable plants.

A SQUARE GARDEN AT THE CENTRE OF HUTONG

THE FENG SHUI GARDEN

The open space area is supposed to be built into a garden in order to utilize the maximum potential of open space Feng Shui. Master Tham said ‘In an open space area, it is best to build a garden there instead of covering it with concrete. Plants can produce Living Chi if planted correctly and if the open space location is suitable.’ Master Tham added that a Feng Shui garden is able to hold the Yin energies to balance up the Yang energies during the day. A garden with Feng Shui properties can bring harmony and peace to the occupants. Suitable plants needed to be taken into consideration before planting them in the garden. Master Tham said that bamboo trees are suitable to be planted in Siheyuan gardens.

INTERNATIONAL FENG SHUI MASTER THAM TAKING A
REST AFTER INSPECTING FENG SHUI IN A HUTONG HOUSE.

THE LIVELY CHI HOLDER

Master Tham would like to remind everyone that Feng Shui is not to be judged through the matter of just the building’s architectural properties and geographical features, but the environmental factors, compatibility of occupants such as date of births and their horoscopes must be taken into consideration as well. Therefore, different locations of Siheyuans have different Feng Shui. Master Tham said that during winter, the North Wind will come. The back side of the Siheyuan is usually higher than the other sides so that it will be able to put up a good resistance against the North Wind from gushing into the open space at the middle of the quadrangular residential house. This enables the good and harmonized Chi that was accumulated in the middle of the Siheyuan to be entrapped and maintain in the residential house. Master Tham also said that the outer parts of the Siheyuan should be planted with flowers and not covered with concrete.    

DESCENDANTS OF A PARTICULAR FAMILY STAY AT HUTONGS FOR GENERATIONS

A RESIDENTIAL HOUSE FOR DESCENDANTS

Descendants of a particular family used to stay together at these huge Siheyuan houses. A particular family will stay in the Siheyuan for generations and enjoy the good Feng Shui of it if the Feng Shui is good. However, if the Feng Shui is not good or not compatible with the occupants, the descendants will move out, face terrible calamities or grow old with loneliness. In relative to modern society, it is extremely important to consult a genuine and knowledgeable Feng Shui Master with proven records – who have true and genuine testimonials to remedy the Feng Shui of your house. Master Tham would like to remind all readers that Feng Shui is not something that you can master by just reading books or attending classes. One needed to learn it from a true Master who accepted him as his trusted disciple, learn it correctly from the correct source, practice it for years correctly, able to observe and investigate every Feng Shui properties, make research on all Feng Shui subjects and principles, and must have proof and testimonials to support his findings and services. Only then, one could be a Feng Shui Master who is able to serve the others.

            Think carefully before you engage a Feng Shui Master. Many people who claim themselves as Feng Shui Masters normally likes to boast with their Feng Shui theories and diagrams but never had true and genuine testimonials from their successful clients.Therefore, make sure you don’t fall into their traps.

FENG SHUI OF LIU HE PAGODA (SIX HARMONIES PAGODA), HANGZHOU, CHINA

The Liu He Pagoda which was also known as the Six Harmonies Pagoda is a Chinese Pagoda with seven interior stories. It was built on a peaceful spot facing the Qiantang River at the foot of Yuenlun Hill in Southern Hanzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.

It was built during the reign of Song Dynasty. The name 'Liuhe' comes from the six Buddhist ordinances and the reason for building the pagoda was to calm the tidal bore of the Qiantang River.  Tidal bore is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave (or waves) of water that travel up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the river or bay's current. The Qiantang River has the world's largest bore, up to 9 metres high, and traveling at up to 40 kilometres per hour. Thousand years ago, the pagoda was used by fishermen. They put light buoys near the river to guide the ships at night.

The pagoda has an octagonal shape with a door on all the eight directions. Its height is estimated to be 60 metres. The pagoda has only seven stories but from the outside, it looks like as if it has 13 stories. There is a spiral staircase leading to the top floor and upon each of the seven ceilings are carved and painted figures including animals, flowers, birds and characters. Each story of the pagoda consists of four elements, the exterior walls, a zigzagged corridor, the interior walls and a small chamber.

The pagoda was burnt down at least 14 times for various reasons and was almost completely destroyed during warfare in 1211. Film stars Hang Nai, Zhau Dan, Lang Yue and Du Xiao had their marriage here and all of them ended up in a divorce.

The pagoda is one of the most famous pagodas in mainland China and was placed under China’s protection in 1961, attempting to turn it into a place of interest for tourists. The scenery around the pagoda is very fascinating – having lush trees, a crystal clear river, blooming colorful flowers, twittering birds flying around and full of fluttering butterflies. Having these great and amazing qualities, this pagoda is supposed to be crowded with tourists. However, this supposed-to-be famous tourist spot was often deserted. It does not attract tourists and its name is not often included in the tourism itineraries. Tourist buses which pass by this fantastic pagoda don’t even bother to stop for a while to visit it. Instead, the tour guides will just briefly explain to the tourists about this pagoda.  Why is this happening to this fantastic pagoda?

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PLACE OF GOOD FENG SHUI BUT WHY IS IT DESERTED UNTILL TODAY?

To answer this question, Master Tham travelled all the way to Han Zhou to disclose the mysteries of Feng Shui hidden behind this pagoda. He woke up as early as six in the morning to pay this particular pagoda a visit. He was fascinated by the natural beauty of the location. However, he was surprised by the ambience of it, peaceful yet ‘lonely’. He took out his Luo Pan and begin examining the Feng Shui throughout the area. Finally, with his years of experience in the Feng Shui field, he found out that each angle of the doors were wrongly constructed and will eventually unable to absorb the good Chi.

THE DOORS WERE WRONGLY CONSTRUCTED

The main door was built wrongly at the front of the pagoda. They changed the door, using the bad door as the main entrance into the pagoda. They even closed the old entrance. However, that will not increase the positive Chi to attract any tourists to this place. The correct position of the door should be at the back. The front door is facing a killing Chi and it is very inauspicious. Anyone who entered the pagoda will feel like going away. Master Tham later found out that there was a pond with a shape of a half-moon was also built wrongly behind the pagoda. According to him, the pond is supposed to be a Feng Shui enhancer which brings good Feng Shui for the pagoda. He could not understand why they construct the pagoda facing the front as they are having good Feng Shui at the back. He said that if the main door is opened at the back, the pagoda will then be crowded by tourists, becoming more and more famous and move ‘lively’.

            In order to enhance the Feng Shui of the Pagoda, some changes needed to be done to the building. The door, some exterior landscaping, and interior features have to be changed as well.

 FENG SHUI OF DR. SUN YAT SEN MAUSOLEUM, NANJING CHINA.

INTERNATIONAL FENG SHUI MASTER THAM AT THE ENTRANCE OF SUN YAT SEN MAUSOLEUM, NANJING.

 Sun Yat Sen was a Chinese doctor, revolutionary and political leader. As the foremost pioneer of Nationalist China, Sun Yat Sen is frequently referred to as the Founding Father of Republican China.

The Sun Yat Sen Mausoleum is located at the second peak of Mount Zijin (also known as purple mountain) in Nanjing, China. The Mausoleum has traditional imperial tombs and modern architecture. Lying at the mountainside, the vault is more than 700 hundred meters away from the Archway (Pai Fang in Mandarin), which is the entrance of the mausoleum. There is a three-tier stone stand on which a huge bronze ding, an ancient Chinese vessel symbolizing power, perches.

There is a sacrificial hall in the mausoleum. In front of the sacrificial hall there stands a pair of ancient Chinese ornamental columns, which are estimated to be 12 meters high. The sacrificial hall is actually a palace of 30 meters in length, 25 meters in width and 29 meters in height. In the center of the hall a 4.6-meter-high statue of Dr. Sun sits. The statue was sculptured out of Italian white marble. The hall's ceiling features the flag of the Kuomintang. Biographical information on Dr. Sun is available to visitors in the hall. North of the hall lies the bell-shaped vault, wherein the sarcophagus (the coffin and body) of Sun Yat Sen.

DOES SUN YAT SEN’S MAUSOLEUM  HAS GOOD FENG SHUI  DESPITE HAVING FANTASTIC SCENERIES?

The mausoleum is surrounded by high and beautiful mountains. There were trees specially planted along the pathway from the Archway (Pai Fang) towards the Mausoleum. Behind the Mausoleum stood a huge mountain where most of the people think to be a Kau Shan (supportive mountain). Most people will think that the Feng Shui of this Mausoleum is very good because of these factors.

International Feng Shui Master Tham said, ‘Generally, when there is good Feng Shui, there will be good scenery. However, this doesn’t mean that if there is good scenery, the Feng Shui of the particular place will be good.’ Frequent misconceptions about this are the reason why a lot of people don’t realize why bad omens keep happening even though the scenery looks beautiful and nice. Sun Yat Sen’s Mausoleum has fantastic scenery.

Sun Yat Sen, a brilliant and intelligent man finds himself a Feng Shui master to locate the best Feng Shui location for his own Mausoleum. The Feng Shui master chose this location at Nanjing which is also the location where two of China’s first Emperors were buried - also in Nanjing.

Master Tham said, ‘This great political leader (Sun Yat Sen) had saved and changed China but unfortunately, the Feng Shui of his own burial place (The Mausoleum) was done wrongly.’ Master Tham explained that this is the reason why his descendants were not so outstanding.

Although there are a lot of Kau Shan (supportive Mountains), it does not mean the Feng Shui of the mausoleum is good. The coffin was placed at the wrong sector with a wrong direction. Master Tham went to Nanjing to meet with one of his clients and grab the opportunity to investigate the Feng Shui of Sun Yat Sen’s Mausoleum. Master Tham did a through investigation of the Mausoleum. He climbed the flight of stairs until he reached the peak of the mausoleum and he saw layers of mountains. Finally, he concluded that mausoleum had a bad Feng Shui after spending hours investigating the Feng Shui there. Master Tham reminded the readers that any type of burial places at the top of a mountain is not necessary good. In Feng Shui, there are no fixed laws and a lot Feng Shui aspects had to be taken into consideration before determining whether the Feng Shui of a particular place’s Feng Shui is good or bad. This is because the surroundings are different and the geographical layout, building and birth dates are different for each individual. Feng Shui also needed to be tailored according to each different individuals.

KAU SHAN (SUPPORTIVE MOUTAINS) THAT ARE PRESENT UNABLE TO SUPPORT THE MAUSOLEUM’S FENG SHUI

Mountains formed million of years ago behind the Mausoleum were formally the Kau Shan (supportive mountains) of the mausoleum that will entraps good Chi flow for the Mausoleum. Unfortunately, there was a river formed behind the Mausoleum where the water cuts off the good Feng Shui of the Kau Shan. More over, the river acts like a transport, taking away the good and lively Chi that was entrapped at the back of the mountain. As a consequence, the mausoleum will not be able to receive good Chi flow. This causes the Kuomintang to lose its authority and Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s descendants are not outstanding.

BAD LOCATION OF THE MAUSOLEUM

The Mausoleum was built at the peak of the mountain where it is over exposed directly to rain (water), wind (air), and heat (sun) in all directions. If there are bad Feng Shui features and there is nothing much to protect the Mausoleum and the tomb, what is going to be beneficial to the descendants and the future generations? Based on its surrounding landscaping, Master Tham also pointed out that if the mausoleum was built at the middle part of the mountain, the Feng Shui of the mausoleum will be much better. The future generation of Sun Yet Sun’s descendants will become more outstanding and will have the chance to continue the glory of their ancestors.

THE TOMB OF SUN YAT SEN

Sun Yat Sen’s coffin was placed above an octagonal star painted on the ground. It does look grand and nice but it is a Feng Shui taboo. In the Mausoleum, the coffin is a Yin element where it must not be placed on top of a star which produces light and shines is considered to be a Yang element in nature. This is another reason why the coffin was placed on a wrong foundation. The Feng Shui was done wrongly. They thought that putting the Yin element on top of a Yang element will be able to harmonize the interior Feng Shui of the tomb but that particular action had jeopardized the Yin element without bringing in the Yang element to be compromised. Therefore, the interior Feng Shui remains unbalanced. More over, the Kuomintang Flag that was located at the celing has a sun that literally shines towards the coffin. This makes the situation worst. The Yin energy was so exposed that it diminished. This is one of the many examples of bad Feng Shui placement. If a Master who has no experience in doing Yin Feng Shui, they should not simply do this kind of Feng Shui for others as such actions can take away someone’s life if the Feng Shui was done wrongly.

WEALTH CHI FLOWING OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN EXTREMELY FAST

The Mausoleum is situated too high. When the water flows down from the mountain, it flows too fast without being gathered together at one spot. Literally, it is like wealth flowing away from the mountain. This is another reason why the descendants of Sun Yat Sen do not prosper well.

MAIN ENTRANCE WAS SITUATED WRONGLY

The main entrance of the mausoleum which is an Archway (Pai Fang in Mandarin) has a bad Feng Shui. This is another factor why the descendants of Sun Yat Sen are not outstanding. The main entrance plays a vital role for the effectiveness of Feng Shui. If you have to change the Feng Shui of the main entrance, other aspects have to be taken into consideration as well. Master Tham said, ‘It was a waste that Sun Yat Sen who contributed so many to the country of China yet, he could not find a genuine, good and true Feng Shui Master because :-

    1)      In ancient China, the emperors were scared that someone would take away their throne by using the power of Feng Shui so they ordered fake Feng Shui books to be written down and circulated everywhere around China.

    2)      During the Qing dynasty and when the Japanese Occupation invaded China, many Feng Shui masters had left China and retired but are unable to get any reliable, trusted and capable students. Many genuine Feng Shui masters had not spread out their knowledge and bring along their valuable knowledge into the coffin when they died due to old age.


A    After the studies of  Dr. Sun Yat Sun's burial place with improper feng shui theories you will be surprised that the intention of having good feng shui have turn around the other ways which failed to enhance good feng shui for Dr. Sun Yat Sun's ancestors, failing to diversify his off springs and his ancestors does not proper well as expected to be. Therefore, the selection of an experienced and genuine feng shui master is  a very serious matter and should not be easily taken for a ride by  "any"  feng shui master!

3)     Nowadays, there are a lot of FAKE Feng Shui Masters disguised in different coatings. Many of these masters nowadays learn from the media or books or from masters themselves who does not have any proven records, or from those masters themselves who does not have any master at all!. While some even are more daring in getting some old photos of pictures of  an individual or some one else claiming to be his or her master, without the photos or pictures taken together with their master as what the old Chinese saying, " The good and truth student and his master taken a photo together with touching  their shoulder to shoulder!"  

FENG SHUI OF THE TEMPLE OF HEAVEN, FORBIDDEN CITY BEIJING, CHINA

INTERNATIONAL FENG SHUI MASTER THAM  INVESTIGATES THE FENG SHUI OF
TEMPLE OF HEAVEN IN FORBIDDEN CITY DURING HIS BUSINESS TRIP TO CHINA.

The Temple of Heaven is one of the most famous landmarks in Beijing. Located in the Forbidden City which is the ancient palace of the Chinese Emperors, the temple is like a precious stone in the palace. The Temple of Heaven is also known as the Altar of Heaven. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven is a magnificent triple-gabled circular building, approximately 36 metres in diameter and 38 metres tall, built on three levels of marble stone base, where the Emperor prayed for good harvests. The building is completely wooden, with no nails. The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts more than 3000 visitors everyday.

During the ancient times where China was ruled by Dynasties, the Emperors of China was regarded as the Son of Heaven, who represents and has heavenly authority. In order to pay their respects to the heaven, they made sacrificial ceremonies and prayers to the heaven. The temple was built for these ceremonies, mostly comprising prayers for good harvests.

Twice a year the Emperor and all his retinue would move from the Forbidden city through Beijing to encamp within the complex, wearing special robes and practice vegetarian for the special occasion. They were not allowed to eat meat. Ordinary citizens were not allowed to view this procession or the following ceremony. In the temple complex, the Emperor would personally pray to Heaven for good harvests. The highpoint of the ceremony at the winter solstice was performed by the Emperor on the Earthly Mount. The ceremony had to be perfectly completed as the smallest of mistakes would constitute a bad omen for the whole nation in the coming year. If everything was done correctly, the country will enjoy prosperity and have good agricultural yields. What type of Feng Shui energy in this temple that makes this temple so highly respected by the emperors of China? What are the Feng Shui effects of this unique temple that can contribute to the ancient Chinese? International Feng Shui Master Tham paid this famous temple a visit when he visited Beijing and he will explain to you the unique and complex Feng Shui of this temple. Master Tham said, ‘The temple looks simple but it has a very complicated Feng Shui.’

HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE

According to Master Tham, the temple complex was constructed from in the 15^th century during the reign of the Yongle Emperor, who built the Imperial Forbidden City Palace in Beijing at the same time. The complex was extended and renamed ‘Temple of Heaven’ during the reign of the Emperor in the 16th century. During the ancient times, the temple was regarded one of the most expensive and grand temples in China. The temple is believed to be a median for humans on Earth to communicate with the heaven. Ancient Chinese philosophers said that the temple’s location is at the centre of the Earth and it is one of the many important medians between Earth and Heaven. The emperors get to receive signs in the form of dreams and meet unexplainable events after praying to the temple. It is said that the Heaven can inform, advice or remind the emperor about something in the form of these signs.

STRUCTURE OF THE TEMPLE ENTRAPS AND RETURNS GOOD CHI FLOW

The interior and exterior of the Temple is built with a square shape at the exterior and a round shape as its interior like this : 回. This shape of  回 is actually a Chinese word which means ‘returning’. Master Tham said that the shape of this ‘returning’ structure is able to receive good Chi flow from outside and above, and entraps the good Chi inside. This is because the direction and geographical condition of the temple is favorable. When the emperor prays for his citizens, the Good Chi Flow can flow outside and reach the citizens. Thus, the ‘回’ shape plays a significant role as it returns the Good Chi flow to the citizens of China. 

UNIQUE ECHO FEATURES OF THE TEMPLE AMPLIFIES CHI

Master Tham said, ‘The walls of the temple have a unique feature. The ancient Chinese engineers design and carefully build the walls with two layers so that the walls are thick. The walls are able to produce an echo effect.’ In the temple of heaven, there are three doors. If a bell was rung, you will be able to hear it through the three doors. Those doors and long pathways are built that way so that the echos produced are able to pass through these long pathways. 
These echos are able to amplify the good Chi in the temple.


Master Tham also emphasized that the direction and surrounding areas must also be carefully taken into consideration and be  determined by the degrees of the Chinese Luopon before its construction.
