Hello everyone,
In today's video I want to share with you
the view on Feng Shui in Buddhism
Feng Shui makes a lot of associations
to one's fate
career, studies,
and love
all of these can relate to Feng Shui
Although it is not completely denied
in Buddhism
We do not really encourage this doctrine
And why is that?
The Buddha had spoken about this to his disciples
the Dharma is mainly based on mental cultivation
It is an education
given by the Buddha
after achieving enlightenment
and understanding all the realities and truths in the universe.
Through his wisdom and compassion
he has provided us many guidance.
He believes
that if we focus too much on the divination
and/or Feng Shui
some will become paranoid
and forget that the real Feng Shui
is not on the surroundings
but within our mind
If someone has an evil heart
even if the person has the best Feng Shui
the best of the best conditions
the evilness could affect the good Feng Shui
Also, the so-called fate
can dominate a person's life
At the time you come to this world, you obtain the eight characters
you go to a fortuneteller
who tells you about your fortune
and then we would go this direction
according to our own cognition.
However, Buddhism is the opposite
It's not about the fate
but the control of our own destiny
Controlling one's own destiny is not about accepting it passively
Controlling is more active
it's about working hard in improving
and purifying ourselves
cultivating a peaceful, merciful and compassionate heart
This way our words and actions
will lead to good fortune
Kind words and good actions
will lead to good fate
there will be good results
and this will be a virtuous cycle
So in Buddhism
We do not completely reject
the Feng Shui
Because after all
it the wisdom of our ancestors
When we study Buddhism
we should understand that
the so-called Dharma
is based on the concept of cause and effect
It can be quite simple: what goes around comes around
Everyone should understand that
as long as we follow
the Buddha's teachings
good Feng Shui will be brought to us
There is a saying in Chinese: "Blessed people lives on the blessed land, blessed land attracts blessed people."
It is interdependent
The most important thing is that our heart
must give rise to beneficent thoughts
then we will be able to attract good Feng Shui
and good people to help us
In this video, I want to
to share with your on the topic of Feng Shui
I also wish you all the best of luck
Amitabha!
