Fortune Telling, Feng Shui??

My Big Boss passed away.... not the big-big-big boss. But big enough. Big Boss's not that old yet. Today I am not blogging about Big Boss's death. I just want to say something about this Feng Shui and Fortune Telling thingy.

Last year, we had this very famous Feng Shui Master (one of these : Henry Fong, Lillian Too, Joey Yap, Master Yap, etc.) read my Big Boss BaZi. The FS master said that my Big Boss will leave the company and will be offered a business opportunity. Big Boss will take this opportunity and become very rich.

Indeed, few months after that, Big Boss tendered resignation. Big Boss had serious illness and needed medical treatment. After 2-3 months, we thought that Big Boss is recovering, but suddenly, this week, big boss passed away.
*if any of the fortune teller said that you'll be rich after leaving so-and-so company, better go check your health!!!*

It's proven here that IT'S BULL SHIT!! I want to say that "DON'T RELY ON FORTUNE TELLING". Sometimes, it's better not to see one.

p/s : I am a buddhist - Theravada Buddhism. Buddha never ever taught us to believe in Feng Shui or any kind of life forecast (err,.... weather forecast is okay) or fortune telling. In fact, Buddha asked us to avoid all these. It is very very misleading that some of these Feng Shui masters have monks or put some elements of buddhism in their practice. It might not be their fault, cause the practice is a passed-down from ancestors. But a wrong is a wrong.

It is okay to practise Feng Shui if ones believe in it. Everyone has their own choice. Remember, Feng Shui and Buddhism do not mix. Buddha taught us to rely on ourselves - our karma - action and volition! Good karma (good action/volition) will give good effect. Bad karma (bad action/volition) will give bad effect.Not going to elaborate. This is not a Dhamma Class.Let's remain silence for few seconds in respect of my Big Boss. May Big Boss rest in peace.
