How Buddhism views Feng Shui, Feng Shui in Buddhism

In general, Buddhism discourages attachment to Feng Shui. Feng Shui is ultimately created by the human mind and is part of the alayya. Feng Shui practitioners will hang mirrors in such and such a place, bury things in such and such a place, and try to transform bad things.

Buddhists with correct views don't do that, because they know that it's not necessary, because "all dharmas arise from karma" and "all dharmas are only knowledge", and the important thing is the mind, and if the pure mind can't transform harmful things, then it's karma and karma, and it can't be avoided. So, in the view of Buddhism, Feng Shui has a part of evil opinions. The turmoil and tranquility of the world, the pain and happiness of life, are all caused by man himself.

In the universe and in life, people are in the active position, how can Feng Shui determine a person's path? In the Buddhist scriptures, to a large extent, they are opposed to Feng Shui: the Buddha said in the Sutra of the Last Teachings:

It is not advisable to occupy good fortune and evil, look up at the stars, push forward the profit and void, and calculate the number of calendars." The "Treatise on Great Wisdom" mentions: "Bhikshus live by stargazing, sun, moon, wind and rain, etc., and they eat from the mouth."

The Prajna Samadhi Sutra states that Buddhists "are not allowed to worship the heavens, worship ghosts and gods, or look at auspicious days."

Hehe, Buddhism doesn't say anything about Feng Shui. Buddhism believes that always is a good time, and everywhere is a good place.

Most students of Buddhism mistakenly believe that Buddhism excludes Feng Shui, but this is not the case. Feng Shui is very important for survival and life!

For example, on August 23, 1996, the ninth edition of the People's ** "Evaluation of Feng Shui" article said: "Feng Shui, as an ancient Chinese architectural theory, can be said to be an important part of traditional Chinese architectural culture, it contains natural knowledge, life philosophy, traditional aesthetics, ethics and many other aspects of rich content. In fact, Feng Shui can also be said to be the ancient Chinese sacred environmental theory and orientation theory, Feng Shui theory, in terms of landscape, pay attention to the harmony and unity of the human landscape and nature.

In terms of environment, special attention is paid to the harmony and unity of the artificial natural environment and the natural natural environment. The purpose of Feng Shui theory is to survey nature, conform to nature, and use and transform nature in a controlled manner. Select and create the best built environment suitable for people's physical and mental health, as well as behavioral needs, so that they can achieve the sum of yin and yang, the sum of heaven and man, and the sum of body and mind.

In terms of the natural environment and natural orientation, Feng Shui theory summarizes the natural knowledge and corresponding life experience related to astronomy, geography, meteorology, etc. ”

"The Great Completion of the House Tree" mentions: "Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, has a prescription for medicine, and has many techniques for dispensing. There are many techniques for adjustment, and there is an incurable disease.

It is the house to inspire, the yin and yang gasification should be the congenital disease, and the herbs, trees, medicinal stones and stones are cured, and the disease is acquired. The acquired nature cannot be redeemed, but the innate can be remedied. ”

It can be seen that the diseases caused by the inability of medical skills to live in the house show that for human health, the effect of reasonable adjustment of the residence (including the yin house where the ancestors are buried) is better than that of medical technology and health preservation techniques.

<> Feng Shui does not belong to Taoism, nor does it belong to Buddhism; Feng Shui originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was also known as "Kanyu Science" in ancient times, which belongs to a natural science.

Feng Shui began to be associated with folk magic in the Qin and Han dynasties, and was related to the five techniques of fortune, divination, and physiognomy, while physiognomy, fortune telling, divination, and word measurement were a kind of Taoist techniques that were circulated among the people. Therefore, Feng Shui was related to Taoism in its later development.

Feng Shui, this is the art of the earth, that is, the method of on-the-spot inspection of geography, also called the physiognomy, the ancient name of Kanyushu, according to legend, the founder of Feng Shui is the version of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, the more perfect Feng Shui originated in the Warring States Period.

Feng Shui began to be associated with folk magic in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the five techniques of life, divination, and phase are all related, and it is also said that the basic composition of the hexagram from the "Book of Changes" is divided into the Yang House Physiognomy of the Gate Well Stove and the Yin House Physiognomy and other folk beliefs that are now called metaphysical mathematics.

Its main schools are the three-element method, the three-law method, the nine-star method, etc. The term feng shui was seen as early as Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty: "the right to "take advantage of the wind to disperse, and the boundary water to stop." The ancients gathered to make it not disperse, and the line made it stop, so it was called feng shui. ”
