One virtue, two lives and three feng shui

"One virtue, two lives, three geomantic omen, four products and five studies" is an incisive summary of the reasons for the fate of life by the ancients. It means: virtue is the foundation of a person and determines a person's fate; Seeing the yin and yang of Feng Shui can only change some small aspects of life. If you want to be blessed in this life and the next, you must accumulate virtue and do good. Reading, why is it last? It is precisely because, even if a person reads more sage books and writes better articles, if he has no accumulated virtue, he will still live in a cold window and be in rags until he is old. Carefully weighing the word order of this sentence, I feel that I really summed up the fundamental problems of life clearly and profoundly.

According to legend, a Mr. Feng Shui thinks that Feng Shui should not be ranked third, but should be ranked before the second "life". In his view, a good yin house or yang house can change the fate of life. Destiny should not be the fate of death, but should be "alive", otherwise it will lose its role of "watching Feng Shui".

Later, however, he experienced something that completely changed this understanding.

Once, he went out, tired and thirsty. He wants to find a family to rest and have a drink. Looking up from afar, I saw a small farmhouse in front of the mountain not far away, so I went straight over.

The hostess saw him panting, sweating and eager to drink water. He said, "Wait a minute, I'll go in and get it for you." With these words, he entered the house.

Mr. Feng Shui wiped his sweat while waiting for the hostess to bring water. However, when the woman came out, he was puzzled. While hesitating, I saw the hostess unhurriedly walk out of the room with a big bowl of cold water. He eagerly picked up the bowl and was about to drink when the hostess suddenly said, "Wait." Said, and hurried back to the house. After coming out, she grabbed a handful of bran and sprinkled it in Mr. Feng Shui's bowl. Smiled and said, "Drink slowly."

Mr. Feng Shui was shocked: "This woman is so stingy. She drinks a bowl of water from her house and wants to tease me." I was very angry. On the surface, however, he said nothing. However, while slowly blowing the chaff in the bowl, I slowly drank the water stuck in the bowl without chaff, and at the same time I was thinking: What can I do to cure this mean woman?

When he finished drinking water and was ready to leave, he suddenly found that the terrain not far from her home was very special. A closer look reveals that this is a haunted house. So, Mr. Feng Shui said, "Sister-in-law, I don't drink your water for nothing. I'm Mr. Fengshui. I found this place in the east of your home is a rare auspicious house. If you build a house there, you will have good luck (actually a big killer) in a year or two. " The hostess didn't know what it meant, so she said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, because my family is going to build a house, so let's build it there!" " "

Ten years later, Mr. Feng Shui passed by the hostess's house again. He's been thinking about it, trying to see what happened. But I was surprised to find that the hostess's family was full of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and the family was very rich. It looks like a rich family. This makes Mr. Feng Shui very confused. "Am I wrong?" But a closer look shows that the four corners of the house are open to the outside world, which is not bad at all!

When the hostess saw that it was Mr. Feng Shui, she was very grateful and said, "Thank you for showing my family such a beautiful villa. The days in my family are getting better and better every year. "

Mr. Feng Shui has a question mark? He said bluntly, "Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, the homestead I showed you in those years was not an auspicious house of a rich man, but an evil house. However, I don't understand why you can live so well? "

The hostess was surprised: "You? Why do you want to hurt me? "

"In those days, I asked you for a bowl of water, but you didn't want to give alms. After entering the house, I dawdled for a long time before coming out. When I wanted to drink water, you grabbed a handful of bran and put it in a bowl to humiliate me. What is the reason? "

"oh! I didn't mean that! " The hostess hurriedly explained. "At that time, I saw you walk in a hurry, and your face was covered with sweat. If I let you drink cold water right away, you will definitely get cold and blow your lungs to death. Even if you don't die, you will get sick. I didn't come in on purpose, just to let you breathe slowly. When I saw you drinking water with a bowl in your hand, I was worried that you would die if you didn't go far. So, I grabbed a handful of bran and put it in a bowl for you to blow and drink slowly. In this way, there is a buffer time, sweating and no danger! "

As soon as he turned the word, Mr. Feng Shui was dumbfounded. The woman's virtue is really different from her narrow mind. People with this kind of character and realm, no matter where they build houses and do business, will be blessed by the gods and God. This kind of person's virtue, doomed her to be rich, rich. This kind of person's virtue is so great that nothing can be suppressed, what's more, a person who looks at Feng Shui and takes a path can change it? At this point, he firmly believes in the phrase "one virtue, two lives, three feng shui, four losses and five studies".

Extended reading: the scientific basis for good people to be rewarded

Since the beginning of civilization, people have firmly believed that "good and evil are rewarded": good people are rewarded and bad people are rewarded; Some have newspapers in this world, and some have newspapers every once in a while, years, decades, decades or even generations; Some are manifested in themselves, and some are retribution for their loved ones; Some are manifested in the body, some in the material and some in the spirit; Some are obvious, tangible, and some are hidden and difficult to detect; In short, this is a complex phenomenon, but it does exist.

Steven, a professor of bioethics in case western reserve university, USA? The post and novelist Jill? From the perspective of modern science and medicine, Naimark deeply discussed the relationship between "giving" and "returning". On the basis of synthesizing more than 40 research results from more than 40 major universities in the United States 100, they boldly threw out an amazing message: "There is a magical energy conversion secret between giving and returning, that is, while a person is giving, the energy of returning is being returned to this person in various forms, but in most cases, he is completely unaware of it ..."

This "dedication" includes praise, inheritance, forgiveness, courage, humor, respect, sympathy, loyalty, listening and creation. According to these ten ways of giving, they made a detailed measurement table, followed some people who are willing to give for a long time, and made a physical statistics and physiological analysis of the "return" brought by each kind of "giving", thus revealing the "medical effect" and "happiness index" produced by "giving": the character of people who are kind-hearted and charitable really has great influence on their psychological and physical health. Even if you give someone a smile and convey a humorous expression, the concentration of immunoglobulin in saliva will increase. It can be seen that "giving" is omnipotent.

According to this reasoning, a person who does bad things, bad things and bad things will have a negative effect on his psychological and physical health; If the evil is full, there will be ten evils, which will inevitably "destroy both form and spirit."
