Source & Credit: In Shaanxi, a man was caring for his critically ill mother. He fell asleep by her side. When he woke up... she was gone. But when he checked the CCTV, he saw: In her final moments, she saw her son wasn't properly covered... So she used the last of her strength to pull the blanket over him. Then she closed her eyes-forever. She tucked him in the day he was born. She tucked him in the day she died. That was her final act of love.

Questions: a. My Grandmother (mum’s mom) just passed away yesterday. From a Feng Shui angle, how will this affect - our wedding on (this date that is more than 100 days.) Can the family members still attend our wedding? b. Our proposed house warming on (within 100 days). Can we still go ahead with that? My condolences. c. Moving in is not an issue since it falls within the 100-day period. d. Regarding family members’ attendance: traditionally, this is not allowed, as it is beyond the 100-day reprieve. e.

Dear Anon, 1.1 Fu, Lu, and Shou are gods in Chinese culture, known as the Three Stars. 1.2 Each one stands for something important: Fu means Prosperity Lu means Status Shou means Longevity 1.3 The idea of Fu Lu Shou started in the Ming Dynasty and represents Prosperity, Status, and Longevity. 1.4 In the Hokkien dialect, they are called Hock, Lock, and Siew. 1.5 In Cantonese, the names are Luk, Fuk, and Sau. 2. Traditional Chinese books are read from right to left. So, the statues should be arranged from right to left when you face them. 3. This means Fu is on the far right, Lu is in the middle, and Shou is on the left. I hope …

Hi Cecil Wanted to seek your advice. My elderly uncle is moving house (downsizing) and he has a Guanyin statue, an ancestral tablet and 3 to 4 small amulets which he received from Thai Buddhist temples placed on the praying altar. He will be selling his house first and then source for a new flat. During this period, we are wondering what can we do with the items mentioned above? 1) Can we temporary place the ancestral tablet at my house? He is my maternal uncle i.e. different surname. Or must the ancestral tablet be placed in a household of same surname? if not can we place at a temple? (you have any recommendations for such holding places?) 2…

The Temple of Heaven is a famous historical complex located in Beijing, China. Built during the Ming Dynasty in the early 15th century, it was used by emperors for annual ceremonies to pray for good harvests. The site is much more than a single temple; it consists of several buildings set in a large park, with key structures including: 1. Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests: This iconic, circular building with a blue-tiled roof is where emperors prayed for an abundant harvest. It’s built entirely from wood and is known for its elegant construction without using nails. 2. Imperial Vault of Heaven: A smaller circular building, surrounded by the Echo Wall, which is fa…

Dear Cecil, My wife has gotten pregnant but we are renovating the house which is technically a bit no no. We are not moving the bed as only the hall area is being renovated. 1) Can i still go ahead with the renovation of the hall area? Bedroom will be sealed off. 2) We are both planning to move to my parents place to sleep. Would this arrangement work better for the renovation and having this done can the renovation go on? 3) What other things do i need to take note of. My wife is not Chinese if that matters. Thanks Albert

Hello, I have found your information on your school’s web-site: geomancy.net Do you teach online courses (one-to-one or in small groups) for international students? If yes, could you give me information which Zi Wei Dou Shu School do your masters teach: Northern (Si Hua) or Southern (San He)? We are more interested in the Southern (San He) school. Looking forward to your reply. Best Regards, [........]

Hi Master, I’ve a few burning questions. I’m collecting keys on 27 April 2020. Does that consider moving in? 28 April 2020 seems to clash with Goat, my partner is goat, can he enter the apartment on 28 April 2020. 29 April 2020 seems to be the best day of moving, can I shift non-personal stuff on 27 and 28 April and leave it at the courtyard? We are buying a new altar for Guan Yin, which item should I shift over first to set up? Am I allowed to remove her lights and etc while Guan Yin is around? I told the company to deliver the altar on 28 April 2020. How to I know how to calculate the auspicious time to move Guan Yin…

This page is specially created for Overseas Chinese and anyone interested in understanding the roots. Dates are also provided for major Chinese festivals (see below). …
