Two Masters' Encounter with Grandmaster Ma Jen-chou

Master 李居明 Li Kuiming's account:
In the early chapters of Li Kuiming's book Feng Shui Zhi Dao 风水之道 (The Way of Feng Shui), the author gives the account of his personal experiences with great Grandmaster Ma Renzhou (or Ma Jen-chou)馬仁騶. According to him, Ma was one of the pioneers of the Xuan Kong Feng Shui in Hong Kong. Despite the fact that all the Hong Kong feng shui practitioners of that time knew him, Ma was known to keep a low profile most of the time. Seeing Ma's high expertise in a rare method (Xuan Kong) that is far more superior than the Bazhai method he himself was using, Li tried asking Grandmaster Ma to accept him as a disciple but was turned away. Instead, the only advice Ma gave him was to go back and study the classic "Shen Style Xuan Kong". Undeterred, Li went along whenever Grandmaster Ma was going to do a Feng Shui audit and it was through such means that Li learned as much as he could from the expert. One day, Li bought a house and decided to set the place up using Xuan Kong, the new method he learned instead of the Bazhai (Eight Mansions) method he was familiar with. After that, he invited Grandmaster Ma to his house to do a Feng Shui audit for him. Li was delighted to know that around 80% of his home arrangement matched the comments given by Ma. Li then knew that his effort in studying the classic had paid off. That day, Ma revealed many tips and also answered many questions posed by Li. Ma revealed that the directions of which a person gets off from bed in the morning too played a important role in Xuan Kong feng shui. After that day, in the decade that followed, Li went on to honed his skill to that of a master.

Master 林国雄 Lum Kwok Hung's account:
Back in the 70s, Master Lum did Feng Shui audit for people in Hong Kong using the Eight Mansions method (Bazhai). However, after many years of trial and error, he discovered that the method was not very effective and was disappointed with the results. It affected him so much that he stop his feng shui service totally. Later on, Master Lum met Grandmaster Ma Renzhou and witnessed first hand the astonishing Feng shui method with its accurate prediction capability used by the latter. Knowing that Ma loves drinking, Lum went on to treat the grandmaster frequent drinks as an attempt to impress him and be accepted as a disciple. But all his efforts were of no avail. Ma only told him that the method is called Xuan Kong and was passed down by the master Shen from Qing dynasty. Lum then quickly bought a copy of the classic to study and finally mastered the skill after many years of effort. He eventually managed to showcase his skills to his fellow counterparts whom were surprised by the accuracy. And among those present, Grandmaster Ma was one of them.

Presently, only two persons were known to have officially learned Xuan Kong from Grandmaster Ma, one is Eva Wong and the other is Yi Guanyin 尹冠英.
