《旺宅》
An Auspicious Abode (English version below)
那一天接見遠道而來的「粉絲團」，於當旺的文華東方大酒店。她們並不是第一次來新加坡會見吾，這一次的到來，主要是大人與小孩的名字。次要是「問事」，哈哈哈！此乃「人性」也。再次要就是新書簽名、加持，及「智慧大放送」。臨走前，有位迷糊可愛的粉絲，緊張地向吾了解，請吾越洋堪察陽宅之事宜。吾則告訴她們，吾可能會再寫有關旺宅的文章，再闡明何謂旺宅。
記得很多年前，吾曾到過銀座購物大廈。在這購物大廈的底層，有好幾間空著的店面，玻璃門上還貼上「旺店」字眼。其實啊，不諳風水的人，憑邏輯就可知曉，若真是「旺店」，為何還會空著？難怪佛教五戒中，會有不妄語戒，也難怪越來越多的牙科診所會出現。原因是....？口業也。想擁有旺宅或旺店，就得看妳你的福德而定。這也就是吾用心良苦，一而再再而三的，舉辦餐會、茶會的其中一個重要原因啊！
旺宅的定義，不是妳你住進這宅地後，生意興隆、財源廣進....，不是這樣而已。更何況，錢財會使人驕，會使人飽暖思淫慾，犯下種種過失及罪，最終得不償失也。可憐哀哉啊！又，人到中年發富發福時，好像「有錢病」也跟著來哦！旺宅的定義是含蓋健康、融洽、和諧、安寧、智慧、善良、幸福，等等的。若只是財，絕對不是旺宅。要知道，財乃五欲之首，是很容易墮落輪迴的。
吾，玳瑚師父，知曉眾生福薄，所以為妳你們特設種種能讓妳你們，增長福慧的機會，甚至玳瑚師父已親口，邀請妳來了，妳卻告訴師父，說妳住遠啦！就說妳已有約啦！說妳老公這個那個啦！吾幾個月前就邀請妳了，而吾的茶會是每月一次，或多月才一次的，難道妳真的不能為妳自己的生命福利，妥善安排一次嗎？若是這樣的話，妳又何必又撥電又發簡訊的，請師父為妳勘宅呢！福薄之人是配不起旺宅的。

The other day, I received a group of overseas fans at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which is currently in a good luck cycle. This is not the first time we met in Singapore, and she came to see me this time mainly for the new Chinese names for herself and her child. Secondly, she also wanted to get some divination. Ha ha ha! Such is the typical traits of a human being. Her agenda included getting my autograph on my book, seeking empowerment and learning the Dharma. Before we parted, one adorable and blurry fan nervously asked if I conduct Feng Shui audit for overseas properties. I told them that I might write an article, to further explain what makes an auspicious abode.
I remembered many years ago when I visited the Ginza Plaza, there were many empty shop lots at the basement level. And pasted on the glass panels of those empty shop lots were signages, shouting out "Auspicious Shop Space For Rent!". Well, I believe those unschooled in Feng Shui would have logically deduced that if those shop lots were indeed "auspicious", why would they be empty in the first place? No wonder that abstinence from false words is one of the five precepts in Buddhism. And no wonder there are more dental establishments nowadays. Why? Because of the bad karma from unwholesome speech. To own an auspicious abode or shop will largely depend on your fortune and merits. This is one of the important reasons why I painstakingly and repeatedly organize so many tea and dinner sessions for everyone!
The criterion of an auspicious abode is not only one that will give you riches and good business. It is not that simple. Furthermore, wealth will corrupt one with excessive pride, and desire for lust, committing serious wrongdoings and ultimately paying heavily for it. What a pity that would be! In addition, when a person strike it rich in his mid-life, it seems that "rich man" diseases would always follow! An auspicious abode encompasses good health, harmony, peace, serenity, wisdom, kindness, bliss, etc. If it only gives you wealth, and nothing else, it is definitely not an auspicious abode. Please know that the greed for wealth is the first among the Five Desires, and a person can be easily corrupted by it and plunge into the ceaseless cycles of sufferings.
I am aware that the sentient beings are very lacking in merits, and therefore created various avenues for everyone to accumulate merits and grow your wisdom. I even invited you personally to my event, but you gave me the excuse that you lived too far away! Or that your husband had objections! I extended my invitation several months ago, and my tea sessions are either once a month or once in a few months. Are you really unable to make appropriate arrangement, for the welfare of your own life? If that is so, why do you call and send me text messages over and over again, to invite me to do a Feng Shui audit of your house? People with little merits, are ill-suited to stay in an auspicious abode.
