Once a Taiwanese practitioner posed this question to me.
If Feng Shui is a life or destiny changer then why did Chinese dynasty not last forever?
I felt sad for him because probably he self learned or his teacher did not teach him well or worst he met a fake teacher. Even as technology advanced it is sad that human minds today had not got much better for most people.
I will not dwell into the technicalities to preserve our house knowledge but I can offer a few thoughts provoking questions that perhaps will help you figure it out or reason out more clearly.
Chinese philosophy has this to say for centuries:
- Destiny 命
- Luck 运
- Feng Shui 风水
- Human Efforts 人为
Ever wonder why this sequence? Why not Human Effort as 1st? Or Feng Shui as 1st? Did Chinese just simply made this up or through centuries of observations, concluded this sequence? If it was not true, would it have passed down throughout the centuries?
Why did Dynasty Changed? Let’s look at at Ming 明. Ming lost because of the jealousy of one General. Ming has been lucky that though, they mostly did not have good, long life and capable emperors, they had good ministers and generals. This has some reason due to the grave that was under done by the first Feng Shui master. Just because he lost his love of his life to the emperor he, Wu San Gui decided to turn coat and opened the gates at the Great Wall to Qing army. That resulted in the fall of Ming Dynasty.
