One virtue, two destiny, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin skills and five reading
One virtue, two destiny, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin skills and five reading.
One virtue: refers to moral quality. Without the heart of seeking the welfare of the people of the world, it is impossible to receive orders from the world.
The second destiny: refers to personal destiny, which, when restored to reality, refers to a person’s innate character and acquired cultivation.
Three feng shui: refers to the environment of birthplace and residence, as well as the innate inheritance and acquired upbringing of parents.
Four accumulated yin skills: refers to doing more good deeds. People who are too utilitarian and worldly are unlikely to achieve great development.
Five reading: refers to paying attention to study and self-enrichment. "Infinite rich students died of hunger, and how many princes came out of white houses."
If you understand the principles of Feng Shui, you should not be too particular about it. The focus is on virtue, not Feng Shui. Therefore, when Chinese people talk about Feng Shui, there is a saying: "One virtue, two destiny, three Feng Shui, four Yin Gong accumulation, and five reading". Feng shui only accounts for one component among the five components...the first condition is moral cultivation. This is Chinese culture. Many of your classmates want to study Feng Shui, but don’t be superstitious.
