A few days ago, I went to visit a local Feng Shui Master in Eastern Singapore who is quite famous since he is frequently featured in the Chinese newspapers. In fact, I was very excited about meeting him and listen to what's his comments on my house's floorplan., which is a free service provided by him. I have bought some of his audio cds before and thus thought that he's good but when he analyse my floorplan, I knew something was amiss. First, he used the facing of my main door to determine the House gua. He then commented that it is a very good house for me and my wife since we are both West Group based on Bazhai and my house is a West Group House. "Of course it's a auspicious house since I applied my Bazhai knowledge when purchasing this house ", I thought to myself. It was later in my further indepth study did I realised that the method of using the main door as a determinant of house facing is not recommended by many masters. And this guy here is using this method to analyse my house, what the hell? He then go on about how I can enchance my house with drastic renovation recommendation. From this moment onwards, I truly saw his true colors. This so-called master is simply just a salesman. Said that the main problem is that my main door faces the door of one of the bedrooms. And the only way is to change the position of the bedroom door. The other option will be to place a crystal boulder there, next to the door. He went on to recommend me the crystal boulders he's selling which ranges from $5000 to $10000. Gosh, no wonder these Feng Shui bastards are so filthy rich. A few thousands for a bloody rock?! He maybe able to con the layperson but not a fellow practioner. Classical Feng Shui doesn't use crystal in the first place except as a Earth element. .. To increase my wealth luck, he try to sell me his Buddhist vase which cost a few hundred bucks. Feng Shui has nothing to do with Buddhism. In fact, the Buddha is very clear in his teachings that Buddhists are to shun away from such practices. From this incident, I gathered that in Singapore, only the rich can afford to have Feng Shui consultation. I am really disappointed with the Feng Shui salesmen out there who simply want to con people's hard-earned money. Pui!
