There is a saying in Chinese that 欺山莫欺水, that one can bully the mountains but do not do so with waters. It means that you can fool around when in mountain areas but for water it will be very fast that one will lose their life. I am here to add that one should not look down on either one.

From a spiritual perspective, high mountains and caves are the dwellings of spiritual beings that cultivates. They could be benevolent spirits or even malicious spirits depending they are cultivating according to the Dao 正道, Dharma 佛法 or even cultivating to become Demons. You just never know which ones you will bump into if you frequent into the uncharted or unfamiliar grounds and areas.

Common for mountains and caves are those that descend or go into such place, will easily get lost and cannot seems to find their way out. Usually this occur when the person that goes into such places was behaving rudely, uttering bad malicious speech and many more other actions that maybe offensive to the dwelling spirits at the area. Or sometimes could be the person was down in their luck while traversing through such places.

Which is why in each cultures there are the do's and don't, rituals of respect and also prohibition when entering into a mountainous area.

So what should you do (the basics), if you found yourself lost in such a place?

1. First check whether you are going in circles, even though you may seem to walking some distance. Place some clues on the ground before attempting to go searching for a way out. If you notice you come back to the same spot even after your travel some time, then most likely you are being spell bound by the entity at the area.

2. Do not attempt to further walk out of the place, as you will most likely be walking up and down in the same place while being spell bound. Stay put where you are and hopefully people will start to come look for you. That is why it is crucial to leave contacts with park rangers, family members and also close friends on where you are going and how long you will be at that particular place so that they know to look for you after a certain period of time.

3. What to do when you stay put? Know which Buddhist mantra that you usually chant, chant that continuously. Ask for forgiveness from the mountain deities or spirits. If you are a Taoist Disciples or only familiar with Taoist Deities, chant the Taoist Deities name continuously. Important is to remain calm.

After some time, try to find your way out again. If you are in a group, do not attempt to split up, It will more dangerous if you are dealing with malicious spiritual entity.

The rest of it is Survival Skills 101.

Insidious Adventures

I have been meditating since I was in primary school, secondary school gotten more serious about it and when I was exposed to Buddhism and Taoism then there is meditation of letting go and meditative stabilisation of working in the spiritual level. Amid all these experiences, I am still a very noob in meditation in the language of my teenage son.

Few years back, I use to have experiences of wandering off in my dreams during my sleep. Meaning dreaming of strange places or neighbourhoods which is dark or usually on a cloudy day. And most of the time these dreams are vivid and lucid. After few adventures of this kind, I enquire with a fellow senior master...he just told me you don't wander off at night after you sleep.

What he meant was, my soul or consciousness likes to go out of my body during my sleep. And most of the time I ended somewhere in Bardo states of consciousness in other words lower realms. Although I did not experience any harm in my dream, usually I would met up with dead relatives and their first word to me would be something like "How come you are here?"

Anyway I have figure a way to lock my consciousness and not to allow myself to uncontrollably wander off in my dreams. Since then work pretty well, coz I do not have weird dreams or vivid dreams anymore. If you know me, you would know that showing up in my dream is usually not a good thing as it is a sign from either Deities that something is coming next few days or weeks for the other person or myself.

Well last week, I had one of those dreams and it was worth sharing here. I dreamt one of my old friend and disciple 'K' was driving me and my family just down a village road, and when the car came to a simple bridge, the bridge was slightly curved. Instead of following the curve and just drive across the bridge, he decided to speed up and make a drastic turn, of course then the car would flew to the left side of the bridge and land on the river...somehow in the dream and he was about to land, I told him land further near the river bed and true enough he did (It was a dream!)

After we had a slight rough landing, we walked out of the car safely, nobody was injured in the dream. But soon a lot of villagers show up, they were not the friendly type, look quite hostile and were pointing towards me and K.

Quickly I told K lets slowly walked out of here, they do not dare to touch us and slowly we walked on the village road arriving to some stores in the village. Slowly however more villagers notice our arrival and they are in not friendly gestures, I told K in my dreams, lets take shelter in this corner shop house, it has chinese wording on it, looks something like a 1960s coffee shop. Anyhow we entered the cafe, locked the door, the we try to take some sneak peek through the windows of the shop. I can see those villagers are not locals of Malaysia. Local here means they are not Chinese, Indian or Malay people. Looks a bit native with languages I could not understand in the dream.

Then after a while, I told K that we better leave this place before the whole village shows up and then most likely we will be trapped. I slowly leave the shop house and walk down the road out of the village. Some stood on the side and stare at us but no harm came to us. Then I woke up in middle of the night, usual time is around 3:30am or 3:45am.

The next day, I called up K and asked him whether he have been doing any smoke offering practice lately. I then proceed to update him on my dream the night before, then suddenly I remembered he told me he was helping a friend to sell or acquire a piece of land. I suggest to him that maybe it has something to do with this piece of land that he was involved with.

Then K proceed to informed me in detail about the land. He told me actually that piece of land belong to his friend and that piece of land also contain their family relative tombs, about 20 of the tombs are located at that piece of few acres land. His friend were planning to develop a columbarium building on part of the land and also some other development. I immediately advised to K that he better forgo this land deal, as obviously the ancestors that are buried there are not so happy with the plan they have in regards to developing the land.

Any relocation of tombs especially on an area needed to be handled with exceptional care and with correct spiritual procedures being done before hand. Well after my advice, K immediately inform his friend that he cannot help him anymore for the development of the land.

|

Few days later K update me that actually on that piece of land there is a Thai Temple that houses columbariums. I immediately inform K that this confirm my dream, as the group of people in the dream are not local natives. So this confirm my dream.

K then proceed to advice his friend that he better get the correct approval and procedures spiritually before proceeding further with this project.

貔貅降下 - 第一部

这篇部落客文章将专注于近期为金洞山庙开光的一批貔貅。至于想要了解关于貔貅基本质询的读者可以自行上网搜寻。

这一切开始于2个月前，当时我姐姐买999金貔貅，同时也给我买了一枚，并要求我帮忙开光。在我早期的禅坐冥想（12年前）， 我开光过貔貅铜像，然而是较倾向镇宅，而非招财。

那必须是金制的如果是开光招财，在12年前，金钻业者是没有电铸科技来制造细小且外壳坚硬。如果任何人都有能力以金来打造雕像，那我也不认为他们需要了。当我姐姐带来999金貔貅让我开光时，我也对当下的手工艺大感惊叹。

开光过后，我也不为意的交了给她，同时我也把手链给带上。一星期后，她打电话告诉我说最近谈上了一单不可思议的大生意。当然她也非常努力，而非守株待兔的人。

我个人也在事业上取得非凡的进展。每年我也会因为金洞山筹款而开光道教物品让善信及会员们贡请。我特别请求金洞山神明开光10枚纯金貔貅手链来募款。在完成第一批开光仪式时，阳光直射金貔貅上，我顿时进入冥想的状态，那金黄色的光芒从阳光到金貔貅，且金貔貅金光闪闪，那是多么不寻常。因为经历多年的修行，我也不以为意那些现象了。

我可以感觉到那貔貅的磁场非常强大，不过我选择先不告诉会员。当然我现在分享是因为全部金貔貅已经被善信们请了，以避免说师父卖花赞花香。


开光2天后，我便叫我妈帮忙保管在她房间（个别盒子），不想在我出门时留在神桌上，因为每星期会有清洁工人上来打扫。隔天我妈告诉我说一整晚都睡不着，她察觉可能是因为那貔貅。当她把全部盒子拿出房间，一切恢复正常。


同时我太太也开始穿貔貅手链。一天之内，她可以接了一个搁置了几个星期的大项目，并且占尽优势。之前的洽谈顶多是不亏罢了。

我感到非常兴奋，因为全部3人都有正面的效果。开光的最后一天，太阳特别猛烈，仪式过后更是阳光普照。我决定在阳台外拍张照片然后发到我们会员的群组。

其中一名会员立刻回复说照片中的云朵好像貔貅。您看见了吗？我根本就无意间拍摄的 ，这也是上天对人世间反应，同时也是吉祥的迹象。

当我在写这部落客文章时，会员们也开始反应他们带了金洞山貔貅的经历。
不止以上的证明，另一名会员在拜访一名涉略磁场能量工作的友人时，他感应到她被一股非常强烈的能量包围着，难怪可以把2年的销售目标在短短几个月完成。

我替那些有缘请金洞山貔貅的善信们开心，也因为你们的慷慨支持庙方的维修费用。

Descend of Mythical Beast Pi Xiu 貔貅降下 _ Part 1 of 2

This blog entry will be focusing on the latest consecration for a batch of Pi Xiu for Kam Dong San Temple. For those reader who wants to find out the basic of Pi Xiu, you can google it, plenty of information out there.

It all started about 2 months back when my sister informed me that she have bought  a 999 gold pixiu and decided to buy 1 for me as well and asked me to consecrate 開光 for her. In my early years of meditative stabilization (about 12 years ago), I have consecrated Pi Xiu cooper statues. However they were more for home protection rather than wealth enhancement.

My own wear

To consecrate for wealth enhancement it has to be made of gold, 12 years back there is no technology for doing gold electro-forming for jewellers to make it small and yet hard shell on the outside. If anybody can afford to make statues out of gold then, I think they don't need it anyway. When my sister brings the 999 Gold PiXiu for me to consecrate, I was amaze at the current art work of it.

After consecrating both of the PiXiu, I did not think much about it and handed it to her and wear one myself on my wrist. Within the week, she called me up and told me about all her latest extra ordinary sales she is able to close. Of course she is also very hardworking, not the type to sit and wait for sales to fall from the sky.

I have also experienced tremendous activity boost for my own business. Every year I do consecrate some Taoist items to offer Kam Dong San patrons and members to request in order for us to gather donations for our temple maintenance fund. So I have specifically seek permission from Taoist Deities to consecrate 10 pure gold PiXiu bracelet for donation request. On the first consecration, when the sun beam shone onto the gold pixiu after the ritual, I simultaneously entered into meditative stabilization and can see the yellow glow descended from direction of the sun in a bouncing manner (from point to point) unlike normal time when just the bright ray descended. I didn't think much about it, because from so many years of cultivation, one learns to treat these phenomenas and non phenomenas.

10 pairs from KDS Temple - All Requested by members and patrons

The female of the pair

I can feel that the PiXiu was energetically vibrating very strongly, but this kind of stuff also I do not go out and tell members about it. When I write on this blogpost of course I can share it out, because the PiXiu has all been requested out, to prevent any readers thinking that this Master is trying to peddle his stuff to request donation for the temple. 

After consecration for about 2 days, I asked my mum for safekeeping in her room(inside its own boxes for each individual piece) instead of leaving on my altar because I was going out of town, and we have weekly cleaners to our house. The next day when I was away, my mum called me up and told me somehow for the whole evening she could not sleep until wee hours of morning. Then she realize it could be the PiXiuS. The next evening, she put the boxes out from her room and everything went back to normal.

Meanwhile, my wife started wearing her PiXiu bracelet as well. Within 1 day, she was able to close 1 big project that have been hanging for past week going nowhere, with all the advantages on her side of the deal that previously it was a almost just a break even deal.

I was getting really excited because now 3 out of 3 person who wore it are having positive effects. On the final consecration day, the sun was shining extra bold, after the consecration the whole sun was totally shaded. I decided to just take a photo outside my balcony area to post on the whatsapp group for temple members, how the sun was totally shaded after the consecration.

PiXiu image on the clouds

One of the members immediately replied on the group that the cloud I captured looks like a shape of PiXiu. Well can you see it? I did not intent to look for shapes of cloud to capture, but it appears out in the sky, a phenomenon meaning the heavens is reflecting the activity below, which is a very auspicious sign.

Just as I was writing this blog, feedback from members came back on their experience with wearing Kam Dong San Temple PiXiu.

Member's testimony

Member's testimony

Not only the above testimonial on the result, another wearer went to visit one of her friend who is into all energy works etc. The moment he sense her energy (the wearer), he said he can sense she is being envelope by a very strong energetic force, and no wonder she is able to complete her sales target for 2 years in a span of months.

I am so happy for all those that have the opportunity to request the PiXiu from Kam Dong San Temple due to their generosity to support the temple maintenance fund.

Penang City God and The Child Abuse Case 感恩城隍

About 2 months back, my sister told me that she had just recently met one of our long time acquaintences MK (pseudo name). My sis told me that MK recently was in a custody battle for his daughter. To make the matter worst, her ex wife is accusing him of molestation and abused his  own daughter.

Photo from the Exchange Center for Child Abuse Prevention

I have known MK for more than 10 years. It is very hard to believe he is someone that will abuse his own children what's more to be accused of molesting his own children.

On and off I do meet with MK in his office, but he did not mention to me that he was in a custody battle. However, it must have affected him a lot and on his work to be sharing with my sister about it.

He is having a successful career, own many properties and basically a workaholic. With this legal case,  if he is convicted of abusing his own children, he would have to go jail and his ex wife would have taken over all his material possessions.

When I got to know about MK's problem, I immediately ask my sister to relay to him that in the current situation, nobody in the mortal world would be able to help him. It is his word against his ex wife and own daughter's testimony. His daughter is still small and from MK's information, the daughter have been coerced by his ex wife's and her lawyer to say that MK is doing all those things to the daughter.

I told my sister to swiftly tell him to go seek for City God's assistance to help in his matter. But I have forewarned him in my advise, which was if he is guilty, once he reported to City God's altar, he would have met even worst problem that he is encountering now.

However, if he has done no wrong, his case will definitely be taken up by City God. For there is a Tao for everything. Including justice and righteousness. Just because as mortal beings, lawyers are able to twist and turn, say and manipulate things that are black to become white, you cannot do so in the spiritual world. Especially to someone like MK who has helped so many people in the community.

After few days, my sister decide to drive to MK's office and directly fetch him to the City God's Temple. They did not went to Kam Dong San Temple even though we have a representation of City God in our temple due to our opening time which was not convenient for them.

I have advised my sister on how MK should be requesting for help when he is in City God's temple. MK requested for City God to take up his case spiritually and his request was approved.

That was what I heard 2 months ago. Due to my own busy schedule, I did not manage to meet MK until lately.

When I recently met MK, he looks much more relief and happy. He shared with me the latest update on his case.

His ex-wife out of desperation, have actually deny their daughter any sleep in 18 hours just to coerce her to tell lies that MK abused. His ex-wife then send the recorded 'evidence' to the child psychologist that is in charge of assessing their child. The psychologist came to the opinion that actually it was his ex-wife that have been abusive towards their daughter. The psychologist submitted a formal report to the judge and there is high chances MK would not be trial for abuse. He would also have a high chance to obtain custody to their daughter as they are now closing in on the final part of their trial.

MK who previously was more into Confucius teachings and not into Taoist deities and folklore religion. He now tells me 'Really as a person, must not do bad things' implying that actually there's someone watching and there is somehow order in the spiritual world. I replied 'All our files are there.....nobody has exception'.

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.
