From the bottom of my heart I wish to thank the Master Francis Leyau for all that he did for us. He was able to not only invest in our own unique knowledge and experience, but also to give us a piece of your heart for a while making your house – our house surrounded us truly warmth and fatherly care. While in his house do you feel it is not just a student, and part of his family, a part of his life.
A bonus to courses on the Yin Feng Shui, San Yuan Qi Men and Er Zhai (Advance Flying Star) was still learning to be human, to be the right person to be worthy of the knowledge gained.

Special thanks to Master for his pupil and partner Oksana !
Fundamentals, which she laid us did a course Masters much simpler and clearer.
It is precisely because of her enthusiasm and superb organizational skills Knowledge of Malaysia are far closer to the Russian expanses.
You are a good master and will always remain in my heart and soul!

“The one who was not – he did not understand,
the one who does not understand – must visit! ”

From Russia with Thanks – Svenlana Grigoryants
Qi Men Dun Jia – San Yuan & Yin ZhaiSvenlana Grigoryants (S)

It is my deep conviction that this course is unique simply because …
First, it is in itself a discovery that in addition to the system Qi Men Dun Jia, which we have long been studying pertaining to school San He, there is also the Qi Men Dun Jia School of San Yuan. I think it is for this discovery – for the fact that your understanding of Qi Men Dun Jia admitted another coordinate system, and your world is suddenly out of a flat two-dimensional, it can be said Master deepest thanks! This realization is a struggle. About as well as to believe in the existence of your antipodes on the other end of the planet: like you understand that they too exist, but it’s hard to keep in mind both.

Second, the wizard guides you through all the complexity and “pitfalls” of awareness of the new system of Qi Men Dun Jia San Yuan available with clarity and simplicity. He even came up with his disciples convenient digital code that we all learned as a mantra.

Thirdly, it seems to me that to realize the value and depth obtained from the Master of this new unique knowledge we all need time. As for the good of good wine. Because those who used to refer to the practice of Qi Men Dun Jia consumer-as the method of choice in the direction of the desired day and the right time, Qi Men Dun Jia San Yuan seem still further icing on the cake, baked from formulas to select dates. In fact, all tested by practice, as is always the master. The practice of using this valuable new unique knowledge of San Yuan Qi less I think, is not just a kind word makes us think of our Master and say again – THANK YOU!

San Yuan Feng Shui 三元风水

After blogging a while, I guess I have not done an introduction of San Yuan Feng Shui to my readers. It is the school I am from apart from being part of Wu Chang lineage (无常流) & from Central Academy of Feng Shui. So here you go…

San Yuan (三元) Feng Shui is a school of Feng Shui which majors in subjects like Flying Star or Fei Xing, Xuan Kong Da Gua, Long Men Ba Ju water method, Xuan Kong Liu Fa and San Yuan Qi Men Dun Jia. The uniqueness of San Yuan is that they place great emphasis on Timing.

The other major school for Feng Shui is called the San He 三合 School. They have also many subjects such as 8 Mansion, San He Water Methods, Yang Gong Feng Shui which uses Landforms heavily and downplay the role of time factor.

Then there are other school of thoughts of Feng Shui such as 8 aspiration, symbolic schools, 9 Ki Star, Zi Wei Dou Shu, Bazi Feng Shui, Jiang Hu Pai etc…

What is so fascinating about San Yuan ? San Yuan is considered the younger brother because it existence to the public was much later compared to San He but San Yuan is the method that was used in the Imperial Courts. San He was used more by the commoners more when Masters like Yang Yu Song brought the art out of the palace.

San Yuan was popularized by Master Jiang Da Hong (蔣大鴻), who himself is San Yuan practitioner in the courts and he was taking care of the library during the last decades of Ming Dynasty. Later when he left the courts he brought this knowledge with him too. One of the famous Feng Shui Classics written by Jiang was Earth Discerning Truth Classic (Di Li Bian Zheng, 地理辨正)

Feng Shui during those days was a big thing especially to the Emperor as it is an art that can change/influence the fate of a person, family and country. Hence the art was pass down partially in book partially by oral teachings to those students who are in his opinion has the right qualities. I do not know all the qualities he was looking for but one of then is for sure, he has to be kind person because such art into the hands of wrong people, spells disaster to humanity and the dynasty too.

So what is San Yuan Feng Shui? San Yuan system is based on few basic important foundation. Timing, Location and Direction. The foundation of all these comes from Trigrams & Hexagrams which in any case was founded on Yi Jing (I-Ching).

San Yuan in its purest form only work from the 3 fundamental concepts that sits on the foundation of Yi Jing.

The system do not encourage putting things, no “internal house land forms”, no cultural rituals/belief, no talisman used etc.

The most popular of the San Yuan method today is the Flying Star or Fei Xing method. Flying Star that you know today has several versions due to mixing and changes done by individual master that mixed various methods in to make it unique for them  and to some more appealing to public perhaps.

The origin of Flying Star was from one source but in the early 20th Century it went separate ways. In my coming articles I will explain more.

Monthly Flying Star Chart 2013 Q2

Here is the Monthly Flying Star Chart for May, June, July 2013:

Monthly Star Q2 2013

 

A word of caution during the month of May any occupants with door in the SW sector has to be extra careful.

In June, East Doors or Rooms be careful of theft or your money.

July, people with high blood to shift out of room if you are sleeping in SE sector.

Proper layout of your house Feng Shui will reduce these effects in the long run so better Qi is captured.

However these are just general guidelines so as not to reveal too much WuChang Techniques.

Yin Zhai Feng Shui (陰宅凤水)

Yin Zhai or Burial Feng Shui is one of them most intriguing part of Feng Shui since all Feng Shui studies originate from here.

The most famous classic book of all times is the Book of Burial by Master Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty.

The study of Yin Feng Shui is extensive but primarily is the study of land forms but all these study of land forms in the end is to explain 2 words and that is Feng Shui. Then from here the application portion has seen many schools practicing differently. There are masters from the San He school, San Yuan school and even masters using 8 Mansion and Bazi Feng Shui method to bury the deceased. Some even use symbolic method like building a lion on the grave. All of them emphasize different aspects of burial.

Example, how & where they place the Guardian God (后土) is different between San He and San Yuan schools.

It is in the Chinese culture as well in the practice of Feng Shui that if you bury the deceased in the right location and direction, the descendants can proper to have riches and power. If bury on the wrong land, accidents, poor health and jail terms can happen to the descendants  How true is it, to many folks remains a mystery but to those who have witness it’s results understands how it works.

I had the privilege to follow Master Francis Leyau in one of the recent class on Yin Zhai (April 2013) and undoubtedly there are many knowledge one must possess to be able to obtain the result of the burial. From land selection, finding the dragon, the neck, the head & the lair (穴) is indeed not easy. Just erecting the head stone alone, there are so many factors to take care and look into it.

It was interesting when Master Leyau explains how and why ancient Chinese built graves in this way as opposed to modern graves as shown on the photo on the right side which is square. There is a meaning based on the study of Feng Shui why round graves are preferred.

Traditional Grave vs Modern Grave

Here are some photos from the trip:

Yin Zhai

The Journey of Feng Shui is indeed like a journey of 1000 miles but if you find the right master you can cut your journey by half but you still have to walk 100 miles first to find the master. This is just a metaphor based on my experience. Feng shui is a subject that you need a real Master to guide and show you how to tie what is written in the Classics to actual practical. Only a master who has walked the distance can show you the right from wrong.

I considered my self lucky in this sense to have met and learnt from Master Leyau. I have seen so many people that have given up Feng shui because they have not been able to learnt the correct method and hence either did not get the results or half the time works and the other half don’t. Some after learning 10 years had to get other services to correct their Feng shui after their business failed. Isn’t it sad that they cannot even get their Feng Shui correct after spending all the years and money learning from their masters ?

This problem primarily comes from 2 major sources. One either the master is too young and had not done enough audits and practical work or they themselves read from the books or so called self studied masters. You can buy plenty of books cheaply in Hong Kong and Taiwan if you could read Chinese. The worst author are those who reads many books and compile them into a 3rd books. The source of knowledge is completely untraceable. This is very dangerous since they cannot tell what is right from wrong, they just assumed that their understanding of the classic is correct.

A Deer or A Horse?

指鹿為馬 <<Courtesy of Master Issac Chung>>

《史記.秦始皇本紀》

秦二世時,丞相趙高野心勃勃,日夜盤算著要篡奪皇位。可朝中大臣有多少人能聽他擺佈,有多少人反對他,他心中沒底。於是,他想了一個辦法,準備試一試自己的威信,同時也可以摸清敢於反對他的人。

一天上朝時,趙高讓人牽來一隻鹿,滿臉堆笑地對秦二世說:「陛下,我獻給您一匹好馬。」秦二世一看,心想:這哪裡是馬,這分明是一隻鹿嘛!便笑著對趙高說:「丞相搞錯了,這裡一隻鹿,你怎麼說是馬呢?」趙高面不改色心不跳地說:「請陛下看清楚,這的確是一匹千里馬。」秦二世又看了看那隻鹿,將信將疑地說:「馬的頭上怎麼會長角呢?」趙高一轉身,用手指著眾大臣,大聲說:「陛下如果不信我的話,可以問問眾位大臣。」

大臣們都被趙高的一派胡言搞得不知所措,私下裡嘀咕:這個趙高搞什麼名堂?是鹿是馬這不是明擺著嗎!當看到趙高臉上露出陰險的笑容,兩隻眼睛骨碌碌輪流地盯著趙高臉上露出陰險的笑容,兩隻眼睛骨碌碌輪流地盯著每個人的時候,大臣們忽然明白了他的用意。

一些膽小又有正義感的人都低下頭,不敢說話,因為說假話,對不起自己的良心,說真話又怕日後被趙高所害。有些正直的人,堅持認為是說明書而不是馬。還有一些平時就緊跟趙高的奸佞之人立刻表示擁護趙高的說法,對皇上說,「這確是一匹千里馬!」

事後,趙高通過各種手段把那些不順從自己的正直大臣紛紛治罪,甚至滿門抄斬。

後來這個故事被濃縮成「指鹿為馬」,用來比喻人刻意顛倒是非。

This is a story that happened during the reign of 2nd King of Qin Dynasty. The Prime Minister then was an ambitious person who wanted to overthrow the Emperor but he had one doubt. He was unsure if he has enough support from the ministers to succeed this coup.

So he thought of a smart plan. One day during the meeting with the Emperor the PM announced that he has bought a herd of good horses as a gift to the Emperor. The Emperor looked with amusement as they certainly do not look like a horse but just deers. The PM then turn to the Ministers and said to the Emperor “Your Majesty, if you do not believe me, you can ask the Ministers”.

Then mixed answers comes from the Ministers. Some who are afraid of the PM as well as those who support him will say they are horses while some who is not afraid but follow the path of righteousness and true to their conscience will say those are deers. Of course the Emperor began to have doubt himself as to these herds of animals are actually deers or horses while the PM gets to know where he stands should he pull the coup.
The Moral of the story is that when something false is propagated by masses someday this lie or false knowledge will become the truth to our future generations. Many government deploy this method because they control the mainstream media & education and it is also happening in the Feng Shui World today. I do not know what our future generations will learn if this trend persists but nonetheless we continue this march of truth and correctness. This is Feng Shui Moral.

Just because 10 practitioners says the lamp post in front of door is bad Feng Shui you do not have to believe it. English has a saying “the blind leading the blind” and it happens every day.

I find people today very naive. Just because someone talks on radio show or has presented a few Feng Shui story, people believe they are the authority in Feng Shui. It was all based on hearsay. These people have never seen his works but based on own weak judgement to believe these masters are real.

Some masters are accurate when doing divination on the day of visitation but after 6 to 12 months the Feng Shui result sucks. Why? You have to think rationally and find out the reason.
So you as the audience/student, should also know that not what you hear or learn is entirely true just because it is easily available.

You must study their background and lineage, else you will be part of the PM’s team & everyone would know you better. Do not accept any knowledge literally without proper introspection.

81 Combination in Flying Star

Almost all who studied Flying Star Feng Shui will know or heard of the 81 combinations. The 81 combinations comes from pairing the Sitting Star with the Facing Star. Here you will see an example of a combination read as 6 1 combination.

61 comboTechnically in Flying Star system, the top left corner is where the Sitting Star located while the Top Right hand corner is where the Facing Star is located. By convention we read the combination based on Sitting Star + Facing Star and thus why this is called a 6 1 combination.

But how do we actually interpret the flying star chart using the combinations?

There are many ways or methods to read the combinations but the pre-requisite is to first be able to link these correct sets of numbers to the house. By this I mean, how do you relate a 6 1 and 1 6 to a house. They can be different in meaning depending on the formation of landform surrounding the house. Good or Bad is all from there.

If one cannot do that then, those numbers are just a set of number as they cannot relate the house to reality.

Then if one can relate the correct sets of numbers according to real flying star methods, surely you can tell what is happening in the house. With this information, then a San Yuan Feng Shui Master can change the fortune of the occupants. In a way, having the correct understanding of the 81 combination is vital to any Master to have success in the cases.

Many people ask me how do I remember all the 81 combination because to them it seems almost impossible if not a long tedious process. I can do it only after finishing my class with Master Francis Leyau. Amazing? I can only say I found a brilliant Master who knows how to make things simple to remember but more importantly it is because it is founded on correct theories. When the theory is correct, then everything becomes clear. Simply put it, there is a short cut to remembering it.

Here is one student specifically talking about this in his testimonial…

Master Alan, first I would like to thank you for the 4 days course, the way you teach was easy to follow and understand. Never before I would think I can remember the 81 combination. I can also see my house from the combinations easily. The case study was also good. I can now understand how actually feng shui is really done. Again Big Thank you Master!

Peter Ong

Here is an interesting question, actually in reality there is only 80 possible combinations since 1 set is missing. Which is the missing combination? You can check all the 9 period chart and 1 combination is missing.

Then why this mission combination exist in the 81 combinations? Is it just for sake of completeness ? It exists because in WuChang we can have this combination.

When you plot the flying star chart automatically you will find 8 usable combinations of numbers, however in Wu Chang School we have additional sets of numbers which allow us to tell more things than other schools & thus have a more deeper understanding of the house.

In addition to that, interpretation of the 81 Combinations can also come from one of these Feng Shui Classic books of Xuan Ji Fu , Fei Xing Fu, Zi Bai Jue and Xuan Kong Mi Zi .

To be able to interpret from these 4 major classics of Xuan Kong, one needs to understand how the classics are written but importantly the hidden meaning behind it. There are many people who attempt to interpret it from the academic point of view but somehow mostly are in accurate. When you put them together somehow they will contradict somewhere.

Apart from those methods listed above, there is another way of interpretation of these numbers and it is by the application of Yi Jing. Using Yi Jing we can convert the 81 numbers into Hexagram and interpret the numbers accordingly.

For example, if you have the hexagram Lei Feng Heng, XKMZ says one will certainly by hurt by knife while Fei Xin Fu says will have abnormal secret affair.

Converting to hexagram will give additional layer to understanding the 81 combination. For example you have a 2 5 in the house. Which will happen compared to if you have a 5 2.? Conventional methods will say they are about the same but in actual fact there will be a difference. The key is in the hexagram.

Next, when will the event happen? Sshhh….secret…

Xuan Kong Flying Star…Getting To Know The Stars 07

Having talked about stars 1,6,8 and 9 it is time to turn to the 3 devils of flying stars.

Let’s talk about the youngest devil, Star 7.
Star 7 is also known as Po Jun or translated as Broken Army. It gives us a sense of looting and chaotic situation.

Po Chun is Red/Brown (赤) in colour and thus he is also known as 7 Red. Of course there are times when the 7 is auspicious and when it does it will bring a lot fame to the house.

Thus one must know when it it will be auspicious and when it will not.

7 Red in 2013 goes to the West sector & he causes disputes, robbery, quarrels, missing items.

One of the more common way to reduce his strength is by using Water. Water however, cannot simply put…you need to know the rules…

…..next we talk about Star 2…

Xuan Kong Flying Star…Getting To Know The Stars 06

After talking about Star 7, next I would like to talk about Star 2 or the Ju Men Star and it is black in colour. Star 2 which is also known as 2 Black, brings sickness. What kind of sickness it brings will depend on what 2 Black meet.

It is generally an inauspicious star & bring problems to the person. This is especially true in Period of 8. However, when it is auspicious the house occupants can accumulate lots of properties.

In 2013, it resides in SW sector. Of course you will be asking how to cure Star 2. Most school recommends Wind chimes, salt water cure or brass/metal items and even calabash (Hu Lu).

In Wu Chang, we use a method called star harmony. It works perfectly so far. Do not ask me how this Wu Chang Secret works….:)

Xuan Kong Flying Star…Getting To Know The Stars 05

Last series of the Getting to Know The Stars…The last Bad Boy Star is the Star 5 or commonly known as the 5 Yellow because it is yellow in colour. It’s technical name is called Lian Zhen.

This is the most feared star in flying stars. Nonetheless this star brings all kinds of imaginable problems from accidents, to major diseases, miscarriages and misfortunes.

We need not fear 5 Yellow if we know how to manage it. So it is true that Knowledge is Power…esp Real Knowledge.

Some master says that star 5 can only be used in big buildings such as malls etc. This is a clearly showing that this person is only shallow in his knowledge in flying star. I cannot blame him as he only read from books and has no master to guide him.

With more people like him, the world of true knowledge of Feng Shui will further deviate. Be careful of what you read over the internet.

This star should not be disturbed or activated. Most school say that we should not renovate on the sector of 5 Yellow…so being a Rebel & an advocator of True Flying Star knowledge…I did just that and things turned out fine!

One way you can reduce the strength of this malignant star is by using copper bell. By far this is the best solution of all compared to 5 pagoda or wind chime.

Real San Yuan Xuan Kong Flying Star Knowledge is important if you are serious about this Art! Good Luck…
