Is there any scientific basis for Feng Shui?

Geomantic omen and geography determine their influence on people according to the orientation and geographical form of celestial bodies, which belongs to nature and common sense. If you follow the nature, you can get the weather and the benefits of mountains and rivers; Contrary to nature, on the contrary. Philosophically speaking, this belongs to metaphysical applied philosophy or natural science. Modern people use the scientific basis of magnetic field and magnetism to explain the principles of geomantic omen and geography. The concentration point of magnetic force and the direction of magnetic field are beneficial to human body and also helpful to people's mood; Otherwise, it is also the opposite.

The so-called feng shui, wind is air, is the vitality from the air; Water is necessary for the growth of all things, and it is the vitality from underground. With the cooperation of these two kinds of vitality, coupled with the geographical location that can absorb enough sunlight, isn't that equal to the three elements of life: sunshine, air and water?

But Mr. Li Yinong, a famous geographer, said: Only if you have 65,438+0, accumulated virtue 2, birth date 3 and geographical feng shui, can you live a long life. The so-called birth is innate numerology; The so-called accumulated virtue is the effort of the day after tomorrow; Geography and geomantic omen only account for one third. If you have a bad life, a bad heart and improper behavior, you will not find good feng shui; Even if you have good feng shui, you will be destroyed by natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes. And he said,' Feng Shui is three points, and being an official is seven points'. That is, feng shui must be combined with human efforts to improve the environment. Therefore, from the standpoint of Buddhism, although Feng Shui and geography have their reasons, they are not necessarily the decisive reasons.

Since ancient times, all ancestors have been able to plant grass in the mountains and mountains of osawa, build jungles and protect the public, thus becoming later famous mountains. Since it is a famous mountain, it is necessary to occupy a good geomantic geography, which will last for thousands of years and be invincible throughout the ages. What a good geomantic geography it is; But they don't have professional knowledge of geomantic geography, and they can often change their geography, which is not artificial, but natural. For example, in 25 years of the Republic of China, when Xu Yun, an old monk, revived Nanhua Temple in Caoximenting, it happened that heavy rain built dikes and the river was diverted.

In addition, the location of the new building of China Buddhist Cultural Center in Beitou is very comfortable. It is only because of my natural reaction from the surrounding environment and orientation that I decided to choose the location before inviting geographers. As a result, when the experts demarcated, they all said,' Good! "Very good!" I can be said to be a person who has no knowledge of geography and geomantic omen. I just know its principle and think this reason and that reason should be interlinked. Therefore, I believe it and I don't believe it; For myself, I don't have to believe; In order to do as the Romans do and comfort the public, it is harmless to ask an expert to customize it for reference. The so-called reference, just reference, can not blindly follow the blind letter, otherwise it will cause psychological trouble and inconvenience in life.

On the other hand, professional astrologers or astrologers known as outstanding astrologers rarely find good geomantic omen and geography for themselves, and few astrologers use their own theories and experiences to change their destiny. Therefore, Buddhists should take learning Buddhism as the foundation and guiding all beings with Buddhism as the foundation. If their major is numerology, astrology and geomantic omen, they will put the cart before the horse. The wise men in the world might as well dabble in it. If people in the middle and lower classes learn this kind of miscellaneous books and foreign skills, it will not only waste time, but also hinder the rectification movement. It is appropriate to set limits. ("Learning Buddha" written by the feast master)

Q: Will home feng shui and ancestral graves affect the living offspring?

A:' If you can change the realm, you will be the same as Tathagata'. You can change the realm without being changed by the realm, and your decision will not be influenced by Feng Shui and the grave. For example, if I admire you, you will be happy; I scold you, you get angry, your heart will be turned by the realm, it will affect you, there will be fate, and there will be feng shui. You are not angry when I scold you; I admire you, you are unhappy, your inner purity is not shaken by the outside world, and Feng Shui has no influence on you.
