Fengshui Review: Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery
As Singapore’s Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong aptly said, “Singapore is a rare and precious example of a multi-racial, multi-lingual and multi-religious society where people live harmoniously together”. Indeed, our society is accepting of all religions that we see several places of worship within our island.
This week, we wanted to find out how if places of worship had any influence on surrounding residences. Master Goh made a trip to Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery in Toa Payoh to assess the surrounding fengshui. Let’s see what he has to say!
Toa Payoh – Land of the Lotus Flower
According to Way Fengshui Chief Geomancer, Grand Master Tan Khoon Yong, Toa Payoh reflects two “Land of Lotus Flower” formations. One of them lies in the stretch from Lorong 1 to Lorong 8, while the other is located at Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery.
Lotus flowers are known to represent purity and elegance. Hence, these two lotus lands are conducive for self-cultivation. Grand Master Tan further remarks that residents should remain firm in their moral stance and stay down-to-earth to avoid deviating from the right path.
To complement the “lotus flowers” formation, it is recommended to incorporate more water features and the colour green for sustainable prosperity.
Arrow Sha
Within the study of fengshui, it is believed that one will be poor if he lives in front of a temple, and one will be rich if he lives behind a temple. But according to Master Goh, we should first consider if the pointed rooftop of a nearby temple faces our home.
In the traditional architecture of buildings such as temples, there are numerous and diverse decorations for their roofs. Qi flow from these buildings can cause disruption to magnetic fields, and those who are affected are more likely to suffer from bone and waist health issues.
To alleviate the situation, homeowners can hang either a bronze or iron plate to deflect the conflict energy. Alternatively, a concave mirror will do the trick too. But for this remedy, it is best that you contact your fengshuimaster, lest you inadvertently divert these negative energies towards other residences.
Consider External Environmental Factors for Home
In fengshui, one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations. Hence, when selecting a new home, consider features of surrounding buildings as well. If there are sharp edges pointed towards your potential home, then perhaps it is best to consider another unit instead.
If you are already residing in a unit that encounters conflicting forces, there are remedies to alleviate the situation. All you need to do is to pick up the phone and contact your fengshui master!
