【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

超生出苦 Chao Sheng Chu Ku

(Day 26 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -
http://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/the-year-of-hesed-wisdom-vision-sunday-new-creation-church-theme-of-the-year-2018 ):
Proverbs 1
-------------
When reading the Book of Proverbs or any book of the Bible for that matter, the first step to receiving God’s Hesed Wisdom is to worship God. If you truly worship Him, you will want to know everything about Him and your heart will be open to receiving whatever He has for you.
Are you a fan-girl or fan-boy of God?
“The [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; But arrogant fools despise [skillful and godly] wisdom and instruction and self-discipline.” (PROVERBS 1:7 AMP)
When you have God’s Hesed Wisdom, beauty and glory will be seen upon you.
“My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not reject the teaching of your mother. For they are a garland of grace on your head, And chains and ornaments [of gold] around your neck.” (PROVERBS 1:8-9 AMP)
Never make a decision based upon greed. Greed takes doesn’t add life, it takes life away.
“So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; Greed takes away the lives of its possessors.” (PROVERBS 1:19 AMP)
Jesus is the Wisdom of God. This section of Proverbs 20-33 is actually referring to Jesus and how He is giving an open call for men to receive salvation and the good life from Him, but the fools and self-righteous people ignore it.
God promises a safe and secure life to all those who live by His Hesed Wisdom.
“Wisdom shouts in the street, She raises her voice in the markets; She calls out at the head of the noisy streets [where large crowds gather]; At the entrance of the city gates she speaks her words: “How long, O naive ones [you who are easily misled], will you love being simple-minded and undiscerning? How long will scoffers [who ridicule and deride] delight in scoffing, How long will fools [who obstinately mock truth] hate knowledge? “If you will turn and pay attention to my rebuke, Behold, I [Wisdom] will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.
“But whoever listens to me (Wisdom) will live securely and in confident trust And will be at ease, without fear or dread of evil.”” (PROVERBS 1:20-23, 33 AMP)
Proverbs 2
--------------
God’s Hesed Wisdom is stored up in God’s word - the Bible.
It is stored up for believers because it takes the Holy Spirit for a person to understand the revelations about Jesus in the Bible.
If you are a believer, God promises that He is your Protector.
“If you seek skillful and godly wisdom as you would silver And search for her as you would hidden treasures; Then you will understand the [reverent] fear of the LORD [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] And discover the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives [skillful and godly] wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores away sound wisdom for the righteous [those who are in right standing with Him]; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity [those of honorable character and moral courage], He guards the paths of justice; And He preserves the way of His saints (believers).” (PROVERBS 2:4-8 AMP)
God warns believers against two main types of evil people: The evildoing man and the adulterous woman.
“To keep you from the way of evil and the evil man, From the man who speaks perverse things; From those who leave the paths of uprightness To walk in the ways of darkness; Who find joy in doing evil And delight in the perversity of evil, Whose paths are crooked, And who are devious in their ways; To keep you from the immoral woman; From the seductress with her flattering words, Who leaves the companion (husband) of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God.” (PROVERBS 2:12-17 AMP)
God promises that believers will live long on the earth whereas non-believers who are evildoers will have their lives cut short.
Longevity is a gift from God.
“For the upright [those who are in right standing with God] will live in the land And those [of integrity] who are blameless [in God’s sight] will remain in it; But the wicked will be cut off from the land And the treacherous shall be [forcibly] uprooted and removed from it.” (PROVERBS 2:21-22 AMP)

So beautiful 😍 This is Suncatcher. A sharp sparkle giving a clear and refreshing feel.
Exquisite ornaments not only beautify the surrounding, it also lighten my spirits. Especially at the moment when sunlight is refracted onto the crystals, creating gradients of colors, depicting rainbow. 😍🌈
Thank you for this beautiful decor piece ❤
