Back to Point of Origin

Had a looked at the last post, it was almost 6 months ago. I was actually using my Facebook page medium more since with Facebook Live, I get to update via video. If you have not LIKE my page on facebook, please do it now - most of my smaller updates will be there.

https://www.facebook.com/mastergkham/

I have contemplate of not writing more on blogs due to the fact that nowadays the crowd prefer videos or reading. Then again, I realized some of Kam Dong San Temple's patrons that eventually became disciples all got to know about us through this blog. So I will continue on and also post some LIVE video links here as well.

On 26 February 2017, I decided to visit Kam Dong San Ipoh. The Main - Main Altar of Kam Dong San. I have not been back to main altar for almost 12 years.

My master that initiated me into Kam Dong San, Master Thong and I both lost contact. He changed his mobile phone and so did I. His last instruction to me was meditate consistently and strong faith in the deities. "When the time is right more ways of the path will be shown to you."

Fate and new technology reunited us again through Facebook. So I decided to make a trip back to the Main Altar.

 

It was great that I am able to bring my wife and kids along to see Grandmaster and also the altar of the origin place. Being back at this patio altar, brought back so much memories of the early days when I would drive to Ipoh usually Friday evening, sit in front of altar meditate and followed by my master instructions on the various talisman.

At that time, my Chinese calligraphy is literally like 'shit'. Master would still encourage me to write more and learn more. 

Even after so many years, Master did spend time enlightening me with the Tao of learning Tao Fa, how to help those who are stubborn and selfish and most of all a lot of wisdom in cultivation shared by him.

He shared with me his joy and happiness, saying that now a lot of burden have been lifted off his shoulders as he saw how Kam Dong San Temple Penang is having so much activities and flourishing well.

When I was initiated, Master Thong told me the deities instructed if have affinity they would be happy if Penang have an altar. I just nodded. With that nod, I have kept on going until today with all deities blessing.

As I have mentioned in other blog post, in the spiritual world - the word of honour does carry a lot weight. Money don't mean anything, you cannot sweet talk your way to cultivation. Sincerity, perseverance and honoring one's promise to the deities. No matter which spiritual discipline you encounter, if they(spiritual beings) realize your trustworthiness. Then conflicts and hatred, harm and anger will be easily neutralized in any situation or obstacles that one encounter on the path of cultivation.

Emergency Call for Help

Early last month (Sept) in the morning, I received a call from PY a long time friend and also a temple member. She asked me whether I can do some prayers for her friend P who is in Kuala Lumpur. PY relayed to me her friend was admitted into hospital few days back and suddenly this morning heard news that she is already in ICU with her body and heart all swollen and heart condition was failing.

P was also a temple member, although she visited the temple for only once or twice, nevertheless its sounds quite serious to me. Normally temple members or the public should come up to the temple personally and request for the deities help. And whether any help can be rendered. Sometimes inability to help may be due some underlying karmic reasons.

Anyhow, I had a look at her Destiny Chart and it indicates that she was in a very low luck period that could last till end of the year. I then immediately enquire with KDS Deities whether this is pure a real health matter or there is some spiritual outstanding or Yearly Bad Luck. Spiritual Outstanding could mean Spiritual Encounters, House Feng Shui Problem, Hex, Ancestors Tomb to name a few.

She had all three, Low Luck Period add on with Spiritual Outstanding on some Hex and also real health matters.

With 3 in a sandwich, the most important is to get her out of her emergency situation first. Then I went into meditative stabilization for a very short while. As the Chinese saying goes ' Water from far away are unable to eliminate close proximity fire'. City God Temple is the first sentence that came to my mind when I was in meditative stablization.

Immediately I called up William, who is one of KDS Disciple residing in Kuala Lumpur. I check with William whether he had the City God temple address that he went to a while back. He told me the one he went to was quite hard to find in terms of being in a KL rural housing estate. He told me there is another bigger one that is east to find. I then enquire immediately with KDS Deities, and they said to go the one in the rural housing estate.

I then passed William contact number to P family member. Finally they are able to find the temple and light up 7 Star Lamp at the City God Temple.

After that evening she slowly recovered and was able to discharge from the hospital within a week.

Below are the message she sent me after she was discharged from hospital.

After interfering into this matter, I got into some health matters which involve in bleeding. Reason why there is some side effect on my side is because she is considered a stranger to KDS deities and me. There is no ground for me to interfere in karmic cases (remembered she had 3 factors all together coming at once). So when I interfere in any such cases there is always side effect on my side.

Have advised her to become KDS disciple this coming March 2017.

Hornets and Breaking the No Killing Precepts

Currently recovering from a 2 month long of skin problems and complication. My whole ordeal started from about 3 months back. 

Somewhere in May 2015, I discovered that hornets have been building up a nest on the top floor roof of my house. Everyday I can see some hornet having a fix regular flight path around the top floor, as I got curious and observed where they end up, only to discover that they were already building up their nest up the size of small soccer ball which was hidden from plain sight.

I got really worried when I saw the nest, because there were simultaneously about 5-6 hornets flying around the nest and building in a fast pace. I have tried calling local pest control company, and was told that they do not handle hornet nest, they suggested that I called up the local fire department.

After calling up the local fire department, they told me that even they do not handle it, but I was passed onwards to the Local Defense Department. After got the details from me, they came that very same evening, all don up in bee protective clothing. They did not just took the nest away, but lit up a gasoline torch and burn the whole nest down. In total I can see the body count is about 50-60 hornets not including the larvae.

In my heart, I was thinking that this is really going to be some real bad effects on my karma later on. Some hornets which were not in their nest during the burning, still came back circling and hope to re-build their nest. Those left over hornets, was chase away with insecticides.

About a month after this incident, one day after my usual jog, I have discovered something like spider bite near my shoulder blade area. With itchy hands and did not think much about it, I went ahead and try to press the pustules on my skin at the shoulder blade area. Within 12 hours, I develop high fever and saw a red patch extend from my shoulder blade down onwards to my chest area.

The next morning, I immediately rush to a skin specialist and was diagnose that I have a boil and by pressing on it, I have push the toxin downwards and into my blood stream. Doc said that I need strong antibiotics for 1 week and the infection was getting systemic. After 1 week, the shoulder blade area was heal. Then I started notice that I've develop another boil below the chin on my neck!

Again went back to the skin specialist and was given another 1 week course of antibiotics. When I antibiotics was about to finish, I noticed another small pimple like growth next the the recovering boil. I decided to rub some garlic on and around the area, then in the evening I applied some antibiotic cream.   

Within the same evening, I have a painful sensation below my chin and when I check it out on the mirror, from one small pimple - now I have a whole patch of skin below my neck full of something like multiple boils. Again I went back to the skin specialist and was diagnosed as having multiple furuncles and was given another course of antibiotics. 

By this time, my under my chin, there is already accumulation of abscess. I was in pain through out the night, cannot manage to sleep for the first 24 - 48 hours. After 3 weeks of antibiotic up till then, the furuncles reduced, however I still have abscess the size of half of ping pong ball. It was not reducing and going away. And the multiple boils under my chin really looked like a hornet nest!

Then I tried many types of home remedy, but all did not helped and when I applied manuka honey on it, it really got to the worst condition. The multiple furuncles re-appear and my abscess area got larger! I know I was in a mess, rush to see the skin specialist again and was given another course of mix of antibiotics. The doc told me, if there is no improvement in my condition, he will have to cut up the abscess below my chin, on my neck to release the abscess. 

Deep down inside, I know that this is not so much about medical treatment only, I have to do something spiritually as it is obvious that my skin problem was not going away after so many visits to the dermatologist and the prospect of being cut a knife below the chin really got me into spiritual panic mode.

When I went back home, I request the help of Guan Yin and pledge to complete 49 Little Houses 小房子 within 7 weeks (What is Little Houses? Find out from GuanYinCitta.com) . Yes, no Taoist talisman is going to take the medical condition away, as the problem itself has already develop into full fledge karmic effect. As I was about to get up from kneeling in front of my Buddhist altar, suddenly I got a clear message in my head "Bodhisattva are afraid of causes, while sentient beings are afraid of the effects, if you are so worried about the effects now - why did you commit the action in the first place?" Uncontrollable tears roll down my cheek, as I deeply regretted my own downfall of my cultivation and inability to hold my precepts.

Within 2 weeks I was able to complete the chanting of 49 Little Houses, as I was literally in retreat mode - chanting starts from early morning 0630 and usually would finish around 11pm in the evening with 3 recitation of 88 Buddha Repentance Lithurgy. After the 1st week and completed more than half of the required chanting, my abscess reduce dramatically, when I went to the dermatologist for check up, he was quite surprised that I have recovered tremendously. He told me that he thought he would need to 'cut me up' at some point. But by the rate I am recovering, he said that he does not need to do that anymore.

Also my deepest gratitude to Tshewong Sitar Rinpoche for his help on conducting Yamantaka Puja on my behalf even though he was in his teaching tour in France. And also my deepest appreciation to Padtselling Rinpoche for including me in his major long life and obstacle eradication puja. Also special thanks goes out to Bro Eric Lew for his constant dedication to me in his daily recitation of Di Zang Wang Sutra.

When I recovered almost 80%, one afternoon my eldest sister called me up. She said that she just took her son to a doctor and his son was having something like a small pimple under his chin. He kept on asking my sister to show to the doc (whom is also a skin specialist). My sister thought it was not something to worried about, but the doc reminded my sister, if untreated it could develop into folliculitis. 

I goggled 'folliculitis' and that was exactly my condition. It was not multiple furuncles as diagnosed by the dermatologist. I have decided to seek this doctors opinion, he gave me some meds for folliculitis and have since discovered 90% and more.

Moral of the story

1. Never kill any sentient being for any reason. I was lucky in a way, 'they' decided to come after me when I as young. I would not know what would happen if they decide to manifest much later in my life.

2. Learn up and develop a habit of mantra chanting, when you are in deep karmic end - no other people have the resources or time to help you except yourself. Others can give you only a temporary lift, it requires normal strong cultivation habit to save yourself.

3. If you are considering to remove certain pest in or around your house through methods of KILLING - don't this may be the only warning you will receive.

The Trick to Money is Having Some - Part 2 (Final)

This is the 2^nd part of the Trick To Money is Having Some. For part 2, I am going to emphasise on how to seek spiritual help in obtaining wealth. This will only work, if you are completely immerse with my part 1 posting http://yinyangjournal.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-trick-to-money-is-having-some-part-1.html

Taoist Method.

1. Earth God at Home/Office 地神
   Earth God in Taoist system of belief represents, the local earth deities. Slightly higher than spirits, they are bound to the area, place or home. Every home/area or office has its own assigned local earth deities. If you already have a Earth God in your home/office, the practice is to regularly do proper offering.
   Proper means regular offering of tea and water. 1^st and 15^th day of the Lunar Month, make more elaborate offering of fruits. You can also regularly make gold paper offering. Common offerings of biscuits, sweets and chocolates are also encouraged.
   Some homes that I have visited, they have Earth God setup, but no water offering, no tea offering. The urns are messy, cobwebs around. They only thing they do is just offer incense when ever they are free. This is a sure way to get problems from Earth bound deities. Because unlike higher Deities, they still have a lot attachments.

Earth Deities of Kam Dong San Temple (www.facebook.com/kdspg)

1. God of Wealth 財神
   
   Some will have consecrated God of Wealth in their home/office, in this case we are mentioning 趙公明元帥. You can also visit temple that have this Deity. The best time is during his celebration which is on 5^th day of the 1^st Lunar Month. Bring offerings such as fruits, biscuits, chocolates, juices etc. Remember don't be stingy, if you have read part 1 posting then you will know what is the mind set to have. Request for blessings and also for good ideas! Why good ideas? 1 idea can make you millions.
   
   Don't request for 4D or lottery, that is hard to come by, because it will need a strong luck on your side to fulfilled it.

Vajrayana Method.

In Buddhism the basic core idea of wealth, is the ability to detach from it. Not get more of attachment! However as mentioned in part 1, when your motivation is different, then wealth is still greed, but greed with a higher purpose, which is to help others. If your sole motivation to practice any wealth method in Vajrayana for your own selfish ego, no matter how dedicated you are, it won't have any results.

1. Sang Offering/Smoke Offering
   
   Sang offering is a practice where the practitioner gathers dry food such as grains, sugars, rice, medicine, incense and blend it into powder form. Then the powder is burn and the smoke aroma becomes an offering to all higher deities and karmic debtors. This particular offering is especially helpful in clearing obstacles in your life. As manifestation of obstacles are usually your karmic debtors who are in the way of what ever that you may try to accomplish. Some Sang offering practice requires empowerment from a Lama or Rinpoche while some does not require empowerment.
2. Jambhala Practice
   
   Whenever there is a Rinpoche in town offering Jambhala Initiation, whether it is White, Yellow, Black,Green or Red Jambhala you will see throngs of people lining up. Many have the mistaken notion that once you get the initiation, wealth will be upon you.
   
   To practice any Jambhalas, first few requirements are highlighted in part 1. Without the correct mindset, no result can be obtain from your practice. However if you are practicing for the well beings of others, Jambhala practice will be very swift.

General Method.

1. Do donation. Donation? you may ask, you may also be saying that you don't have any to give. The reason you are reading this posting is how to get money, not give it away. Because you are not clear of the rules, which is why you have problems getting it. Give or donate to a charity that can benefit lots of people immediately. Why immediately, because the idea is to gather worldly merits that can help in your financial prosperity. Keep in mind however that it is a lower motivaton to donate and expect something in return from the universe. The highest motivation would be donate without any notion of expectation. Until you reach there, this is the way to start.
   
   
   
2. Practice Liberation. Liberation of animals especially fishes, helps you to gather merits or worldly merits fast. This is because through life liberation, essentially you are helping the animals/fishes to extend their life without fear. This type of merits would help your tremendously if you have a lot of karmic debtors.

If you are totally down and out, without anything to give, then give your time and your attention to a charity organization. There is always something you can contribute, for you to slowly gather some forms of merits. When you have more then you can start to practice on the methods that I have recommended here. The idea is to start, or else you can never go to where you want by standing still.

Seeing Black Smoke in the Courthouse

Few weeks back, I was requested by a client to be present at court to provide mental support. Actually it was my first time inside the court room. Anyhow since I was there just to listen to the proceedings, I have plenty of time to observe people in the court room using my behavioral skills assessment and also spiritual observations. 

My first feeling when entering the court room is that the whole room is filled with various sorts of different energy. Some energy pattern is very similar to those that belong to haunted places, then it suddenly struck me that some people might use black magic and sort to try to affect their verdict and outcome. What I can feel is that some did not 'retrieve' their spiritual helpers even after the court case. Most likely because the outcome was not what they expected.

The courtroom was presiding on a drug related case before my client's commercial case. So another first time for me to observe how a criminal case is being carried out. The accused was being represented by a team of confident lawyers. Compromise of young and senior lawyers in the team.

I got curious, I went into meditative stabilization and try to see what sort of aura this group of lawyers have on their body. To my surprise I did not see their aura but saw something entirely different. It was something like a black smoke surrounding their body. The first one had black smoke around the waist and upper thigh area. The second one had black smoke surrounding his back. The third one had black smoke circling in the heart area and the fourth one had black smoke on top of their head and also around the heart area. I turn to check on the judge and others, none of them have that sort of 'display' on their body.

I quickly came back to 'uptime' (means fully conscious in the present moment). I observed their facial colours. The whole team of lawyers actually have quite good facial colours, non indicated experiencing bad luck.

Suddenly I realized those black smoke could mean negative karma or spiritual retribution on their physical body. It is the first time that I am able to see such thing on a person in my meditative stabilization.

No matter how smart we are in the physical world, we are unable to escape the karmic consequences of our action. I do not know anything about whether those people that they represent are guilty or innocence, nor what is their role is in the representation and how the case would turn out. But obviously, their profession have drawn a lot of spiritual retribution onto their body.

They still have good facial colours, meaning in the nearest possible months or years they are still in the peak of their luck. Not much can be seen, nevertheless the spiritual retribution is definitely just waiting for luck period to change.

We have laws in the physcial world, there are also laws in the netherworlds. Our unconscious minds is the perfect recorder of all of our actions. We may know how to use the law to our favour in the physical world, however in the spiritual dimension – no one is above it, as long as you are still circling with ignorance in samsara.

Real Life Spiritual Response by Taoist Student

Below is my loose translation (originally written in Chinese) of the real life spiritual response that my student Peter Sin 法忠 felt during one of the Tibetan Chod ceremony during our temple Ksitigarbha's Celebration 地藏王菩薩寶誕 on 15 September 2012.

----------------------------- -->

I think it is my duty to share with all Kam Dong San supporters and also general disciples, and especially those who are hesitant or doubtful on attending events hosted by Kam Dong San Temple to come forward and experience what I have witnessed.

This year 15 Sept 2012 is Ksitigarbha Bodhisatva's Celebration, it is also Kam Dong San Temple second year of conducting mass chanting. This year is the collective chanting of 1 million mantra Ksitigarbha's mantra on eliminating fixed karma (Om Pramani Dani Soha). Part of the requirement of participation is that all will be on vegetarian diet for the duration of the event.

After lunch on 15 Sept, the Chairperson of the Temple, which is also my master, Master Ham begin the last day of his Tibetan Major Ceremony of Chod (Offering of the Body). From the 15^th until 30^th of 7^th Lunar month, he have done the ceremony more than 10 times. Regrettably I have not attended even 1 time until this day, due to my work schedule. According to my master, Chod ceremony/practice is about offering the physical body to all the ghosts, demons, all karmic debtors and demigods in the area in hope of pacifying them. It is also considered one of the highest offering to do, as equavalent to the Sky Burial in Tibet.

As the ceremony begin, I followed the instruction as my master have given me for meditation, and slowly entered into a meditative state. Following the ceremony's music and chanting, in a sudden moment my mind entered into full darkness, as if in the almost death state (most likely I am in sleep state). I do not know for how long, but after listening to vajra bell sounded by my master during his Chod chanting, I slowly regain my consciousness again and saw visions of Yellow Light flew upwards while the floor is filled with skeletons.

I also saw a lot of flames, and each time Master Ham sounded the Vajra Bell, the flames grew. When the ceremony was about to finish, I smell an unpleasant smell in the room. Which to me is strange, because the whole Ksitigarbha hall is lighted with Tibetan incense.

My curiousity reached its peak, when from the flames, emerges a black figure surrounded by the flames. As the ceremony completed, I enquired my master 4 Questions.

1. Why does it have saw a yellow light fly upwads and the floor is filled with skeletons?
   Yellow flight flew upwards, mean the consciousness has escape while the body is being offered. The skeletons are of course the left overs of the offering.
2. Why is it that I can smell some very unpleasant odor?
   The unpleasant odor is actually your negative karma that is being purified and offered.
3. Who is the black figure that I saw in the midst of flames?
   Did you just saw a single black figure? Pointing to the Thangka on the side of Ksitigarbha Hall.
   As I look carefully on the Thangka of Troma Nagmo, immediately I have goosebumps. It is the figure that I saw in the midst of the flames.
   Master said, as I chant just now – invitation of Troma Nagmo is part of the ceremony.
4. Why do Troma Nagmo appeared in my meditative state? What is the message?
   Usually when a ceremony is conducted successfully, participants will have experience of 'signs'. And those that witness it can then inform others about their experiences for them to have stronger confidence and faith.

I felt very blessed, to have experience such strong response from Troma Nagmo. I will definitely work harder in my cultivation. Looking forward to more responses.

With blessings from all deities, bodhisatvas and buddhas of Kam Dong San.

Learning Tao Fa Disciple,

Xin Fa Zhong

P/S: I must emphasize that halfway into the meditative state, I was FULLY awake. I can see, hear, smell and think. I just cannot speak.....perhaps my cultivation is not as high yet.
Original article in Chinese

我想我有义务跟所有金洞山的善信和众弟子，以及那些想参与我们活动但仍犹豫不决的各方善信分享以下的真实感应：-

昨 午（15.09.2012）是地藏王菩薩聖誕，也是金洞山第二年举办《地藏王菩薩》经一百萬遍赞誦，众善信已从星期五晚上开始吃素和赞誦《地藏经》Om Pramani Dani Soha，过了中午午餐后，金洞山的庙主，也是我师父，谭法铳师父也开始进行了他最后一天的藏式《大牺牲法》法会，他在农历七月鬼节里已经进行了相同的仪式不下十次，惭愧的是我应公务在身，一次也没参加，师父说，《大牺牲法》就是把他的肉身奉献给四周的幽灵鬼怪来安抚它们的亡魂，是无上的奉献，好似西藏式的《天藏》。当法会开始时，我就用师父教我的方法静坐，跟着师父的《大牺牲法》念经旋奏，慢慢放松，放松。。霎那间，一切变昏暗，我进入了半死状态（可能是睡着），不知多久，我是听到师父的金刚铃杵的敲击铃声时才醒过来，开始看到黄色的光飞向天上，地下只剩下一堆白骨头，然后，我看到火焰，师父每敲一次法铃，我就看到火焰在膨胀，当法事快要结束时，我嗅到阵阵异臭味，我很奇怪，这臭味不应该在《地藏殿》出现，因为周围都点了藏香，我的疑罕到了顶点，熊熊的火焰也燃烧到了极点，这时，火焰里面出现了黑色人头燃烧的影像，持续不断，直到法事结束....

法会后，我向师父发出四个疑点：-
为何我会看到黄光飞上天和地下白骨是什么？
师父说：黄光飞上天是代表肉身已被供献，地下白骨当然是供献后的残骸。

为何我会嗅到臭味？
师父说：你嗅到的臭味全是你本身的业障，已跟着黄光走了。

黑色人头燃烧的影像是什么？
师父说：你看到的是不是这个啊，指向《地藏殿》左边吊着的《卓玛那嫫黑空行母》，当我望过去是，我顿时毛骨倏然，对，我看到的就是祗《卓玛那嫫黑空行母》。师父说：刚才我诵经是有请《空行母》，所以你感应到祗啦。

为何《卓玛那嫫黑空行母》会出现在我冥想里，祗要表达什么？
师父说：通常，如果法会办的正确，祗会出现让善信感应得到，在通过我让其他人知道祗的存在，好让众善信有信心延续的把法会和金洞山的香火，永远流传。

真的三生有幸，《卓玛那嫫黑空行母》给了我很强烈的感应，我会用心的修行，期待第二次的另类感应。

金洞山众祖师爷大显威灵....

学法弟子，
法忠上

P/S:- 我强调,后半段我是清醒的,我可以听,可以想,可以嗅,只是不能出声.....可能修行不够吧

------------------------------

 The chanting of the whole ceremony was in Tibetan. I have also not told any of them in advanced what is the sequence of my visualization that will be performed. His 'vision' coincides with my chanting sequence and visualization.

I also have to emphasize that I am a lay practitioner with no special 'powers' whatsoever, it is through the blessings of Ksitigarbha, All Cho Lineage Masters, Machiq Labdron, All Deities of Kam Dong San Temple and Troma Nagmo herself that this response was being witnessed by the student. 

Creating Causes of Bad Luck Through Killing Animals

Just completed teaching a 8 day training of Qi Men Dun Jia and San Yuan Feng Shui program in Moscow. Between tea and lunch break, it is usual for students to approach me with questions and also seek for opinion and advice.

Some even specifically asked for 15-20 minutes of my time as they have some pressing problems with their life. On this trip, 2 cases have specifically stood out. Therefore I think it is worthwhile for readers to also ponder on my advice to them.

One student came to me and asked me about her husband and his declining business. They have just moved into a new house 1 year ago. However his business started to go decline about 3 years ago. After looking at his BaZi chart, it is due to the changes of his luck cycle. Nevertheless, his luck supposedly has already improved but his situation became worst.

They moved into a house that have a fast moving river behind their property. Even though they have erected a high fence to cover it from view, this does not prevent the strong qi flow. Plus the landforms of their land is sloping on the wrong side, which also cause loss of wealth to the occupants.

While having a fast moving river behind a property is not easy to rectify, there are methods to do so and I have advice her on the method. But then how do we explain that his situation did not improve even though his luck supposedly change for the better? Fast moving rivers behind the house, in good luck years would not have such devastating effect.

I then started to ask her “Does your husband like fishing or hunting?” She told me her husband started hunting about 3 years ago as a hobby due to the decline of his business. I told her to advice her husband to stop hunting immediately. This is also a cause for their current situation. Each time he hunted an animal, he would usually pick the animal up after it has been shot. And on most cases, the animal is struggling in the last moment of death before being picked up by him. That creates a cause for these animal spirits to attach and be around the person. This can cause many problems to the person such as financial failure, more enemies in work or business.

The second case was from a client here in Moscow. They are also experiencing some financial difficulties. I was auditing their house Feng Shui and advice them accordingly. His destiny is going through 5 years good luck and 5 years declining luck. Whenever the decline happens, he would go into extreme financial problems. To the extent, that it cannot be gauge from the BaZi chart. Again I got to know that he also likes to hunt animals. I have strictly suggested to him to stop hunting for the current period.

If you like any forms of hobby that requires to kill another animal, be aware that those animal you kill will not just die and be a trophy on your wall. If you happen to kill an animal that have very violent nature or strong memory, that will create a cause for their spirit to attach to you. And when that happens, you have not much choice but to suffer the predicament of endless bad luck, beyond what is on your BaZi chart.

Few factors can directly influence our Destiny or BaZi chart.

1. Spiritual intervention – that does not happen often and it requires strict discipline and cultivation

2. Spirits and ghost – they do cause bad luck or interfere with your original destiny. However spirits (animal or human) cannot easily interfere with your life unless you have created the cause for them to do so.

3. Your environment – Feng Shui

4. Meritorious deeds – practice of generosity and charity for a better cause

You do not have to take my word, you can verify it on your own if you have doubts.
