Don’t be swayed by circumstances.
In fact, Feng Shui will change. Feng Shui is not static. As the saying goes, "Feng Shui takes turns", it will change. For example, if more than half of the people in a country are good people, the country's feng shui will be good; if people's hearts are not good, the country's feng shui will turn bad. This is true!
So when it comes to Feng Shui? There is Feng Shui. What is Feng Shui? When modern people mention these two words, they think they are mysterious. In fact, these two words are very common. In modern terms, these two words refer to the living environment. The living environment is related to one's cultivation and temperament. Some people like mountains, some people like water, different, different! For people who like water, if you ask them to live in the mountains, their feng shui will be bad and they won't like it. For people who like mountains, if you ask them to live by the water, the feng shui will be bad. So you need to understand, what is good Feng Shui? You are very satisfied with the environment you live in and live happily. This place has good Feng Shui for you. Don't be deceived, and don't say: "I'm not satisfied living here, many things are not going well", that is your karma. Does it have anything to do with the living environment? It has a little relationship, but not much. Therefore, living in these environments often causes one to feel annoyed and dissatisfied. Even if it is a room, some people decorate the room very elegantly, and the room feels comfortable when you enter it; some people have a messy room, and you feel unhappy when you enter it. This is all called Feng Shui. Therefore, all of this can be changed. You don’t have to ask others to change it. Please hire a geographer to change it. That person is very pitiful. Why? His body and life are at the mercy of others and he can't make the decision himself. How pitiful you think this is!
Really smart people are happy when they make their own decisions and are not manipulated by others. Usually when we eat together (when we treat guests), I hate it when someone brings food to me. Why? You give me food to eat, and I am at your mercy. I will eat whatever you tell me to eat. I cannot do as I like. Therefore, I often advise people, "Don't give it to me, I am not at your mercy or under your control." The words are very unpleasant, but then they wake up and understand. I like to eat what I like to eat, how free and comfortable it is! We should not let others dictate our living environment. We can choose and consider it ourselves. This is how we truly understand what Feng Shui is.
Someone asked: "Since ancient times, many emperors and nobles of the past dynasties did not seem to get the benefits of Feng Shui." In fact, he got the benefits of Feng Shui at that time. Feng Shui will change, and Feng Shui will change with people. , not many people understand this truth. For example, person A lives in this place, the feng shui is very good, his life goes smoothly, nothing goes wrong, his family is happy, and his career goes smoothly. B may not come to live in this place. Even if he lives in this place, he will encounter many disasters. What is the reason? His character is different. As we Chinese say: "Eight characters are different"! Therefore, if Feng Shui is said to be good for A, it may not be good for B; if Feng Shui is said to be good for B, it may not be good for C either. You must match your own cultivation, your own living habits, and your own sentiments. The material environment and your spiritual life must match perfectly. This is the principle of good Feng Shui.
Those who understand this truth are not at the mercy of others, and are completely in charge of themselves, which is beneficial. Therefore, people who read Feng Shui also have a prevarication saying: "Blessed land and blessed people live in it." He shows you good Feng Shui. If you live there in the future and you are unlucky and unsatisfied, he will say, "It's not my responsibility. This is a blessed land and you are not blessed." He will block you with just one word. It can be seen from this that if you really understand the meaning of his words, why bother to see him? I just need to practice blessings. I am blessed. No matter where I live, the feng shui will change with me. Buddhists say: "The environment changes with the heart." This is the truth. If your heart is kind and your heart is good, if you live in a place with a bad environment, it will become better. , your heart is not good, your behavior is not good, it is a good Feng Shui. Wherever you live, it will become bad or bad. This is what the Buddhists say, "the environment changes with the heart." So everyone understands this truth and the truth. The most important thing is to have good intentions, do good deeds, and be a good person. No matter where you live, you will always be unlucky.
In classical literature and poetry, we see some literati envying monks. In their imagination, the best environments are occupied by monks. World law teaches feng shui, and the best places in feng shui are occupied by monks. . What they said sounds very reasonable at first glance, because since ancient times, jungle temples and ashrams have indeed been the best Feng Shui, the best environment for cultivating the mind and cultivating the sex, and they are truly beautiful mountains and clear waters. Even today, these temples are in disrepair, but the aura of the mountains and rivers still remains.
We call it aura, and foreigners call it magnetic field. What's the point? The environment changes as you wish. Where people with sincere, pure and compassionate hearts live, the environment will naturally change. This is the so-called "blessed people live in a blessed place, and a blessed land brings blessings to people". People who are not blessed cannot live in a blessed place. Even if they can live there, that blessed place will slowly change. It can be seen from this that Feng Shui is not fixed and can change according to the heart. The so-called "environment changes according to the heart". Therefore, the Buddha teaches people not to pay attention to the living environment, but to focus on the heart. If you have a good heart, good appearance, and good body, you must live in a good environment. What the Buddha said is the truth. When we think about it carefully and gradually realize the truth and the truth, we are willing to accept it and follow it.
If you have a good heart, any environment will be good; if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a good heart, living in hell will be a blessed place.
All laws in the universe operate according to karma, so everything is relative. If the mind is upright, then righteousness will appear; on the contrary, if the mind is evil, then magic will appear.
If you can follow the teachings of the Buddha and practice the ten good deeds, you will not be greedy, not angry, not ignorant, not curse others, not lie, not stir up trouble, not use flattery, not kill, not steal, and not engage in wrongdoing. The relationship between men and women is Dharma.
If you follow your own karma and let your temper and temperament do things, it is magic.
If you can control your emotions, you can "change your situation according to your heart" instead of "your heart changes according to your situation" like most people.
So there is a saying in Zen: "Every day is a good day." If we can say: "Every day is a good day," then it can be said: "Every day is the birthday of the Buddha." That's it. mean.
Don’t be obsessed. Once you are obsessed with Feng Shui, you will be changed by Feng Shui.
