The thing about Feng Shui

Do you believe in feng shui?

I'm not so much of a believer but I do believe in Buddhist teaching of bad karma, reincarnation etc etc. I've been practising the teachings of Buddhism ever since I was 3/4 years old. I can still remember there used to be this "si fu" coming to my house to do prayers every week. I think 3 times a week. We had to lay some pillows on the floor and then holding a book (mantra), walking in circles and chanted something. My mom said I used to know how to do the chanting but now that I'm an adult, I cannot recall even one bit. "Om ni beh meh hoom" that's all I can remember.

Si fu passed away few years ago. From what dad told me, si fu used to have a family and kids. But he decided to leave his family and became a monk. He traveled frequently to India to practice Buddhism. I used to see him without shoes and he was quite old back then, around 80 something. I think he left this world for heaven when he was 90+. He gave us a framed picture of the little Dalai Lama. Little Dalai Lama is going to succeed the place of the old dalai lama or something. I'm not sure. I found this:

"Upon the death of the Dalai Lama, his monks institute a search for the Lama's reincarnation, or yangsi (yang srid), a small child. Familiarity with the possessions of the previous Dalai Lama is considered the main sign of the reincarnation. The search for the reincarnation typically requires a few years. The reincarnation is then brought to Lhasa to be trained by the other Lamas."

Omigod, that makes me think, what if my kid in the future is the dalai lama?????? Are they going to take my child away????=O hmmm is this some kind of blessing or something else?

Talking about lama, my mom recommended that I get my fortune read from this monk in Kepong. I did go there and I'm quite surprised with the things he told me. He didn't ask for my "see sun bat chi"(time and day of birth), he just told me to pick 3 cards. Kinda like tarot to me. hehe Well so do i believe what he said? I'd say PARTIAL. Not all. He did say that I will have good career. WAHHHHAHAHAHAA!! I hope this is true. But it struck me that there are things which I really need to improve on especially when it comes to my "fire cracker" temper.
I really need to work on that. Anyone wanna go and have your fortune read? Let me know, I can provide the address. =P

Oh I just bought a Dzi Bead for Gary. Heard it's good? I'm not sure. Maybe. Well, I live with the phrase "never try, never know". So Gary will be the victim of my feng shui experiment. 40 bucks, I can certainly justify that.

The 9 Eyes Dzi Bead

I will update with the results, if any. =D

I'm out!
