We are looking for the source of Feng Shui. If feng shui is not good, you can't make money, or there is a disaster, go to the temple to worship and beg. These are superficial things, not real. We gave our fate to Master, and auspicious objects and clay sculptures in the temple can't completely change our fate. What I want to tell you is that filial piety and ancestor worship are the sources of Feng Shui. Let's think about where our lives come from. From my parents and ancestors. What are the ancestors of parents? Is our root. When we water, we should water the roots together. The roots are deep and leafy, and naturally flourish.
I have been lucky for years, and the store I took over has become the most popular and best business in that market. At work, I didn't even finish the third grade of primary school, so far I can't write, but I work in a state-owned enterprise. I used to be an assistant to the general manager, but now I am an assistant to the chairman. Most companies have bachelor degree or above, and I have the lowest degree. Why can I have such a good development as an uneducated person?
I often tell my wife, where does my blessing come from? From filial piety to parents, this is the first rule. I have never spoken loudly to my parents, and I will kneel and salute on my birthday during the Spring Festival. I do the same to my parents-in-law. Although many fortune tellers think that my short life is not justified, isn't it a miracle that I can still live to this day, with my salary rising and my status rising? Now college students can't find jobs. I can't read, and I am often invited to give lectures at universities, even to graduate students and doctors.
In terms of filial piety, I dare not say it is perfect, but it should still be quite good, so I am blessed now. My family is dedicated to ancestral tablets. Why do I believe this? I met a master in the past. He said your ancestors blessed you, or you would have died long ago. I remember falling from the upstairs when I was a child, and no one cared. I lay there for two hours and recovered. I have a scar under my nose, and the scar on my face is all right. Our hometown is Luoyang, Henan. When I came home one year, my uncle showed me the genealogy of the Qin family. I didn't know that the Qin family had a great grandfather who became a monk for more than four generations. Some people in my family practice in the temple, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and bless my descendants. When I got home, I asked a mage to write me an ancestral tablet.
How spiritual is ancestor worship?
There are other legal holidays during the Qingming period. When we go to worship our ancestors, can we really think of the benefits of our ancestors? It is very important to think about the grace of our ancestors. I have been to a family in Shandong with a population of 200 to 300. What does the eldest son and grandson of each family want to do on New Year's Eve every year? Beware of ancestor worship. So this family has a large number of civil servants working in various places. I heard that their feng shui is very good. I said you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. This family is good at Feng Shui because they know where their roots are and how to worship their ancestors.
When you worship your ancestors, you burn incense as Yang and paper as Yin. In ancient times, old people would say that there was no incense in that house. What do you mean there is no fragrance? No children, no daughters. Incense also represents wealth. Be pious when offering sacrifices to ancestors. Our family can flourish now because of the virtues accumulated by our ancestors.
? When is the ancestor worship? In Tomb-Sweeping Day, the Mid-Autumn Festival on July 15th, the first day of October, the winter solstice and New Year's Eve should be five times. We can offer sacrifices to our ancestors according to local customs. If you can't go back to work outside, you can also offer sacrifices far away and burn some paper and incense in the direction of your hometown. This is called not forgetting the roots. Only when you know how to repay your kindness can you get the protection and care of your ancestors and your family's fortune will be better. If conditions permit, it is unfilial not to show the intention of commemorating our ancestors.
There is a boss. After his parents died, he made two small statues and put them at home, just like the Buddha statue. He burns incense in the morning and evening and has three meals a day. This boss has tens of billions of assets, how can he have such a big blessing? Is filial piety. He said that his parents died five or six years ago, and he missed them more and more. Do we? I even heard many strange voices: "Strange, how come no one died in these two days?" I was surprised and said, "Why do you want to die?" "You don't know, the dead can sing, can sing. Very lively! "
I have been to several funerals. I think this is a wedding. Everyone is jumping. It's so sad and happy! Your parents died, and you respected them. If you follow the normal funeral ceremony, your parents may live in the hearts of friends or neighbors for a long time. However, singing, dancing, singing, is to publicize your family's death, but it is not filial. Tell everyone through the funeral that you see that I am very filial and rich, and I have invited so many guests, which is very face-saving. What should I do with my parents? Oil, polish your face!
After many parents die, photos of parents who worship their parents will be burned, saying that everyone is dead. Why do you need photos? How unfortunate it is! He also said to me: "Teacher Qin, it's not that we don't stay. Our family has a one-bedroom apartment with no place to hang. " When they got home, the photos of their husband and wife were full.
Ancestors are the roots of the family. If the roots don't move, the branches will shake again and stop for a while, but once the roots move, they will die if they are uprooted. Therefore, roots are very important. Don't think that you are capable, blessed and earn so much money. Tell you, without the protection of our ancestors, where did you get this blessing? As far as names are concerned, there are many people with the same name and surname as you. Why are you rich and he is unlucky? People born on the same day in the same year have different fates. If you really understand this truth, you will miss the virtues of your ancestors for a long time.
Someone associated ancestor worship with believing in ghosts and gods and asked me, "Teacher Qin, have you ever seen a ghost?" I said I had seen it. He said where the ghost was, and I said you were a ghost. He said, why do you call me a ghost? I said, how long do you think it will take you to stop talking and do the ghost thing, right? You're not a ghost. What is it? Some people are very rich and spend more than 10 million on cemeteries. I said whether you are alive or dead. Grab territory with ghosts when you are alive, which proves that you want to be a ghost. Let's not think of ourselves as ghosts.
Former Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan asked Mr. Feng Shui to show him the cemetery, hoping to bury his ancestors. After reading it, Mr. Feng Shui said, "On the surface, this place looks excellent in Feng Shui, but whoever buries his ancestors in this place will have no children." Mr. Fan Zhongyan said, "Then bury my ancestors in this place." Why? Others buried here and killed other people's families. If I take this place, no one else will be hurt. God bless your kindness! People are doing things, and the sky is watching. Oh, my God, who is it? Heaven is the heart, and when the conscience turns, it can be integrated with heaven and earth. So you see, Mr. Fan Zhongyan's family has flourished for more than 1000 years.
When I was in Guangdong, a friend told me that he took a fancy to Feng Shui. There are only one or two people living in the small temple, and many masters say that the feng shui in that place is particularly good. I want to come, man and god grab the land. Isn't this death? I immediately asked, "Has anyone thought about that place?" He said that a big boss was going to give some money to get the monk out, tear down the temple and take the ancestral grave to that place. Who knows that they haven't moved yet, but they have committed crimes and been detained. I said that the man was detained before arguing. Don't you want to be detained? If you compete with God, you will bury your ancestors in this place. If your business is booming, what is it called? God bless. If you want your children and grandchildren to prosper, geography doesn't allow you to do so. People should understand the truth of people, that is, the truth of ethics, the truth of heaven and earth, and we should not violate it. Feng shui can't be robbed, and good feng shui can be met but not sought.
I showed my friend a geomantic omen, and I told him, "If your whole family gets sick after I leave, it proves that this land is not suitable for you and you can't buy it. Germany doesn't deserve it. You can't live. Blessed people live in blessed land, and blessed land lives in blessed land. " After I left, everyone caught a cold, and a dozen people without exception were extremely heavy. He said how to change this situation? I said, men don't eat, don't drink, don't gamble, don't smoke, women don't eat, don't drink, dress well, balance yin and yang, honor their parents in the world, be responsible for their partners and children in the middle, and prosper in the next life.
I have seen a cemetery in my hometown. There is an old man in his nineties in this family. After reading it, I will tell them that you should remember what I said and be filial to the elderly. This grave will last for generations. It is a miracle that the old man was buried in that place after his death. At that time, only two children in our area were recruited to state units, and they had to go to school and get paid, including his grandson. My family thanked me and said that their family had never had such a good child for generations. I said pay attention. If the cemetery collapses, it proves that you are not filial.
Since then, every time they go to the grave, they will pay attention. Once something was found wrong, the place where the stone tablet was erected collapsed. I said if it collapses three times, your child will have a problem. I asked, was the old man sick when he died? They said they were paralyzed for three years. In these three years, have you ever scolded the old man for never dying? This woman didn't speak. Finally, she said, Miss Qin, I repent.
? She said that the old man ate a lot, pulled a lot and pulled everywhere before his death. She said, "You old fairy, you are still alive." I said that if you cut down the roots with a knife, can the children thrive? She said, what should I do? I said, you should sincerely repent. Think about it. When you were one to three years old, you peed your pants. Your parents don't think you are dirty, so scrub you clean. You are so heartless, and you want your children to prosper. No They used cement as a place to collapse, and after finishing the work, they collapsed three times in a row. The child had a holiday for the New Year and had an accident. From then on, I vowed never to show Feng Shui to anyone. Now only give lectures.
