Datuk's house on fire

Received a sms from James last week. "Sifu, the nantok at my workplace is on fire!!!" To track back the story.. James is a close friend who works at NazaWorld in AutoCity Juru, Penang. At his work place, there is an earth deity (usually people in Malaysia and Singapore called them 'Datuk' because sometime the earth god is from a Malay ethnic background). About 2 years ago, I have helped him installed a Datuk figurine on an existing Datuk worship location at his workplace.

Since then, more and more people around the AutoCity come and pray to the Datuk. Then about a year earlier, the owners of the AutoCity decided to build a bigger worship place.

However, it took almost a year for them to complete the 'house'. James did ask me about 8 months ago to check on what seems to be the problem for delay in completion. When I was at the site, I entered into meditative stabilization and the message I have received is that the Datuk does not want the house to be completed because there is no place for him at the new 'house'. Strangely, James told me 2 months ago that when he asked those who build the place, they confirmed that they shall move the Datuk in, once work is completed.

So coming back to present situation, I went straight to his work place upon receiving his sms. Because I felt somewhat involved as I was the one who installed the Datuk figurine. When I arrived at the site it was raining. I saw in my mind's eye that the Datuk was standing just beside the new 'house' and his previous location is all burnt down. The figurine is in black and white color, the urn is turn upside down and no sign of his old house anywhere to be seen. According to James, the security guard informed him that someone had burned the Datuk. The new 'house' next to the Datuk was consecrated and inside they place a marble plague with sign of 'Earth God' in Chinese. When I check, it was another deity that was installed onto the 'house' and not the Datuk.

To mediate the situation, I immediately seek permission from the new earth god, whether he will allow Datuk to be place in the new house. Upon granting the permission, I did a Taoist ritual on the spot and installed the Datuk next to the plague. While waiting for confirmation, suddenly the sun shine on us and the dark rain clouds disappear. "I think we have completed our job." I told James with a smile and as we left, then it started to rain again.

James called me up a day after the second installation, and he said he saw the person who builds up the new worship 'house'. According to the builder, the owner of the AutoCity hired a Feng Shui practitioner to consecrate the new 'house'. When the Feng Shui practitioner arrives at the site, he said the Datuk does not want to sit there anymore so they can burn the old place down including the figurine. Those who have some spiritual practice would know that you do not burn down existing earth deity worship location if you do not intend to move them to a new location.

There is something the public needs to be aware of, not all Feng Shui practitioner or master are capable of solving spiritual problems. And not all Spiritual practitioner or master can solve Feng Shui problems. That is a fact. The most dangerous ones are those that ONLY know either Feng Shui OR Spiritual System and PRETEND to be able to solve problems that are beyond their scope and capabilities. You should not expect your Feng Shui master to be able to do ghost busting OR expect your spiritual master to solve your Feng Shui problems. Now I am very interested to know what did happen to the Feng Shui practitioner after they burned down the Datuk's house since last week.
