Fate-Calculation, Superstitious

I have always comes across people who would brushed aside Fate-Calculation as superstition and at the same time, there are people who are still fascinated by it. I would like to quote a paragraph from a book titled “ Chinese Mathematical Astrology”, authored by Ho Peng Yoke.

“…if we were to extend to some of these traditional Chinese methods of fortune-telling the same amount of tolerance that we accord to many of our modern efforts of predicting future events, such as weather forecasting, stock market futures, Gallup polls, etc. – none of which ever guarantees precise accuracy but nevertheless are accepted as legitimate exercises – it can be demonstrated that the Ziping method of fate-calculation is one of those methods worthy of our attention. The Ziping method does not use scientific instruments to observe temperature, air pressure, humidity and air movement as the weather forecaster does, nor computers to analyse the trend of share prices like some stock-market consultants, nor public opinion polls like the political analyst ….. but it is consistent with the same principles that explain traditional science. It does not involve the supernatural and hence the word ‘superstitious’ is not applicable….”

Something we can all think about.

Six Star Columbarium

Was just reading an article on Singapore’s “The Straits Times” newspaper today – Six Star Columbarium. It is going to be Asia’s largest luxury columbarium to be open by 2011. One of the investors is a Malaysian company which is investing SGD50 million to renovate the existing facility in Choa Chu Kang.

Feng Shui Excursion

The last two days was one experience that any Chinese Metaphysics student would not forget. The students were exposed to a daily routine of a Feng Shui Master . The students get the chance to actually witness some of the Feng Shui techniques being deployed and seeing the results that Feng Shui promises to bring. The two-day experience was priceless . For all the money spent in other schools, students do not even have a slightest opportunity to SEE real Feng Shui at work and generating the results that is required.

During the course of two days, we visited the Columbarium at Mandai, the Ong Family tomb at Bukit Brown (one of the biggest tomb in Singapore), retail outlets, F&B outlets, residential houses, fund-managers office and apartments. The students were shown the different methods used in different settings as mentioned above. Imagine the Yin and Yang Feng Shui being deployed in the core of a city like Singapore!

Do we still need to see the dragon in China? Dragons are everywhere, if only you can find it!

BaZi Practitioner

We have just completed a 3-day BaZi Practitioner class for a group of students from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. It was an eye-opener for some of the students as they have not seen some of the techniques that was used to read a BaZi chart. We have students who have studied from other masters before and it was refreshing for them that a BaZi could be read in a systematic and structured way. We provided clarity.

One student commented that one of the key components that are not covered extensively by other BaZi schools is the palace reading. A simple palace reading is able to convey much information than the so-called “advance” method of reading a BaZi chart . The “advance” method confuses many students that resulted being not able to use by new students embarking on this new study. For beginners, a positive reading builds confidence that will enable students to absorb advance techniques without much difficulty. This is our objective for all our students.

Any more classes coming up? Stay tuned.
