萬水千山總是情Harmonious Love In The Enchanting Mountains & Rivers

 

先以禪宗五祖，弘忍大師，的一首偈，來掀開這文章的序幕。

有情來下種，
因地果還生；
無情亦無種，
無性亦無生。

當吾最初見到這首佛偈時，深深被這首佛偈所吸引。吾也不由自主地當場進入深思維，果真用在勘輿一道裡，對於所有欲學堪輿者，是一種很大的加持。吾能在這一世，再見到這首佛偈，除了自己的因緣以外，還得感恩吾的根本上師，因為吾是從祂的著作中，觀讀到這首佛偈的。如今再寫這首佛偈，依然如此甘甜。但願普天下，所有欲參禪者，欲學勘輿者，能有機緣觀讀到，並心領神會，後再造福一切眾生。

 

「有情」對個人八字和風水的重要

一間旺宅，它本身一定是「有情」的。為什麼一定要「有情」呢？因為陰陽互配有序，才能結穴蔭後代及自己。而且，真學過陰陽五行之人，必知之甚詳，孤陰孤陽皆不生也。此理用於四柱論命，及待人處世之道上，是相通的。就好比一個孤陰或孤陽的八字，是青燈自守的。那麼，一個人若是極端，不懂變通，鶴立雞群，此類人物，也是不生不旺的格局。

 

如何分辨「有情」或「無情」

堪輿指的「有情」，不是指男對女，女對男產了好感，又或者產生了情愫，就叫有情。不是的，絕對不是這樣的。我們要想學會如何確認陰陽宅「有情」或「無情」，除了師父的傳授，我們本身也必需積累實地考察的經驗，才能夠完全掌握「有情」與「無情」。

總而言之，統而言之，有情則旺，無情則衰。堪輿學就是山川流水的大智慧，官人掌權柄、道人得長安、健康富貴平安均包含。學堪輿者，心中要有萬水千山總是情的概念。

 

Allow me to quote this verse from the Fifth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism tradition, Master Hong Ren, as the curtain raiser for this article:

When sentient beings sow their karmic seeds,
they shall reap the fruits of their efforts;
Inanimate objects, lacking seeds,
have neither Buddha-essence nor life force.

When I first read this Dharma verse, I was deeply attracted to it, and at that very moment, it inevitably set me into a deep contemplation. In truth, this verse, when applied to the field of Feng Shui, is a great empowerment to all who are keen to learn this art. Besides my own affinity, I am extremely grateful to my Root Guru Master that I was able to read this verse from His books. The same feeling of sweetness from the nectar of Truth remains, even as I wrote this verse here. I pray that all practitioners of the Zen Buddhism as well as the art of Feng Shui would have the affinity to read and fully understand the essence of this verse, and in doing so, bring benefits to all sentient beings.

 

Importance of Love & Harmony for Bazi & Feng Shui

An auspicious residence must be endearing and harmonious. Why must this be so? Because when the Yin and the Yang are in complementary alignment, a meridian point will form, which facilitates the prosperity of yourself and your descendants. Also, for those who have truly learned the principles of the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, you ought to know that an absolute Yin or absolute Yang does not induce growth. You can apply this principle in Bazi (birth chart) analysis, your interpersonal relationships and the way you treat others. Take for an example, a person with an absolute Yin or absolute Yang Bazi will live a life of solitude. On the same thread, if a person is extreme in his or her character, and not flexible to change, sticking out like a sore thumb, he or she will not prosper either.

 

How to determine energies of harmony & love

The love and endearment that I am talking about here do not refer to the love between a man and a woman, where they develop feelings for each other and romance ensues. No, that is definitely not the case here. What we want to learn is how to determine if a Yin or Yang premises has energies of harmony and affection to prosper the occupants. Besides receiving teachings from Master, we need to get out there and accumulate real-life experience through field studies, in order to achieve mastery in this area.

All in all, you will prosper in a house with affection and harmony, and flounder in one without. The art of Feng Shui is the great wisdom hidden in the mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers. It can empower a office-holder with authority, and bring lasting bliss to a spiritual practitioner. That is not all. Health, wealth, prosperity and safety are all part of the immense benefits Feng Shui can bring you. For those who are learning Feng Shui, please hold dear to this mantra: Affection and harmony lies in the alluring mountains and rivers.
