Session 6 Critical Wisdom: Cosmic Trinity & the Complete
Set of Theories for Feng Shui Systems (English Session)
Mas Kehardtham
Many Feng Shui masters and practitioners nowadays mix various Feng Shui
schools and systems like a Sunday smorgasbord. It is very common to see
practitioners use Bazhai and/or Flying Stars to do a Feng Shui audit of
a house and use BaZi or the 4 Pillars of Destiny to divine the residents.
If at all, the same Feng Shui consultant may use daily constellations
from the Chinese almanac to select an auspicious date to activate the
Feng Shui application and at the same time use the symbolic stars to choose
an auspicious hour. This assorted mixture of schools and systems applied
is one of the reasons why their clients have uncertain results after doing
all the Feng Shui enhancements. Actually, all of the existing Feng Shui
schools have their own complete systems of study governing all facets
of the cosmic trinity namely heaven, man and earth, which should be applied
as a whole and never mixed up. The Eight Mansions, Flying Stars, Xuan
Kong Da Gua, 4 Pillars and 28 constellations have their own complete systems
of the date selection method for predicting a person’s fortune and
they also have their own Feng Shui arrangement method! Master Mas will
shed light on the principle of the cosmic trinity which is the core foundation
of all complete systems of Chinese metaphysical study.
Session 7 Mahabote (English Session)
San-Zarni Bo
Mahabote is an astrological system originated from the monasteries of
ancient Myanmar and has been in use for centuries. It is based on the
Planets and the days of the week. A three-by-three matrix chart is used
and only the Day of the Week and the Year in which the person is born
is needed to erect the Mahabote chart. Details of how the charts are constructed
will be discussed. Among other things, applications of Mahabote include
selection of auspicious days and dates, analysis of a person’s character,
remedies and cures. These will be illustrated. Mahabote is considered
as an essential basic for those who want to pursue advanced Burmese astrological
predictions.
Session 8 Correlativity: A New Branch of Zi Wei Dou Shu (English
Session)
Dr Hew Yon Long
Zi Wei Dou Shu is a form of fortune-telling in Chinese culture. It remains
one of the most well respected processes for mapping out one’s “Destiny
Path.” Zi Wei literally means “purple wave,” the Polaris,
the symbol of power and dignity according to Chinese. Dou literally means
the Plough, the Great Bear Seven Stars, the symbol of cluster stars. Shu
literally means mathematical system. Zi Wei Dou Shu thus means the study
of a person’s life based on the location of Zi Wei Star and the
movement of 100 plus stars at the specific time the person was born. The
life and death of a star as well as the movement is controlled by four
forces. They are: Strong Nuclear Force, Electromagnetic Force, Gravitational
Force, and Weak Nuclear force. Hence, four forces play an important role
in determining one’s destiny with respect to time.
Session 9 Indian Vaastu (English Session)
S.BS Surendran
Vaastu is an ancient architectural science that balances the five elements
in any environment bringing maximum productivity and success. Vaastu Science
or quite often referred to as 'Vaastu Shastra' is an ancient 'Dwelling
Science' from India. It’s a science of a higher dimension which
integrates the all pervading cosmic energy to ensure that structures built
in accordance to the principles of Vaastu are in harmony with the immediate
surroundings and the Universe as a whole. Vaastu and “Feng Shui”
is something much spoken about and skeptics pass it off as a faith following
an unscientific practice. Culturally they originate from two different
backgrounds, however a deeper study of both the sciences reveal that there
are many common factors between the two sciences and in fact, share a
common goal – ‘To harmonize your place of dwelling and make
it more vibrant’. The presentation would give you an insight into
the Vedic Vaastu tenets and its relevance, types of energies and its influence
on human beings, Bio-energetics and semblance of Vaastu and Feng Shui.
Session 10 Modern Tools for the Traditional Art of Feng Shui
(English Session)
Yap Boh Chu
The traditional art of Feng Shui has a long and ancient history. From
its first recorded history of over 2000 years ago, the practice has constantly
evolved, adopted and incorporated new findings and tools. The greatest
of these tools is the adoption of the magnetic compass. This has evolved
from just a compass to the modern luopan which is an essential tool for
Feng Shui practitioners today. In these modern times with its many technological
advances, the repertoire of tools that are available to the Feng Shui
practitioner is quite extensive and only limited to the imagination of
the user. We will explore what are these tools and how they can be used
in the day to day practice of the Feng Shui practitioner.

Lillian Too, GM Raymond Lo, GM Tan Khoon Yong and GM Yap Cheng Hai
Moderator: Vincent Koh
When it comes to matter of professions, a Feng Shui Master is no different
from any other professionals. There are standards and ethics to comply
