命名的真諦The True Essence of Giving a Name
十多年前就銘記於心的一首偈，幾天前寫給了一位新客人。
如果你妳是外行人，不要擅自為孩子命名。 名字不是你妳覺得好聽或喜歡，就夠了。
如果沒有深入研究姓名學和八字學又沒有多年的實戰經驗，
父母自身的業障都搞不定了，哪有功德力來轉孩子的命呢？
也不要因爲執著一定要哪幾個字，而犧牲了孩子得到更好的
還是交給信的過的專業師父吧！
I wrote a verse for a new client a few days ago. It was a verse which left an imprint in my heart 10 over years ago after I came across it. It is a good one to let everyone know that the powerful effects of a name cannot be ignored.
If you are a layman in this field, do not attempt to give a name to your child. A good name is not about whether you like the sound of it or that it comprises your favourite characters.
With no strong research foundation in name and destiny analysis, coupled with years of practicing experience, don’t go thinking that you can pen a suitable name to make up for the inadequacies in a child’s destiny, just by looking at a few websites and books or thumbing through the dictionary.
If the parents are having a hard time paying their karmic debts, how will they have the merits to turn their child’s life around?
And don’t be too fixated on having specific characters in the name. You will be compromising on your child’s opportunity to have a better name.
Best to leave it to a professional Master that you trust!
Translated from the verse in photo:
“With a good name coupled with a good destiny, a life of wealth and comfort favours you from an early age,
With a good destiny but a wretched name, there is no guarantee to your future.
With a good name, even with a poor destiny, there will still be ample food and clothing throughout your life.
Alas, with both a wretched name and destiny, a whole life of poverty and misery awaits.”
