enci 1 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 yeps ... consider a respectable buddhist temple either lay cleric or monk / nun. We can see many china monks coming here just to earn the chanting dollar ... why ?? becos human are ignorant of the Dhamma itself, thus resulting in such superstitions. Serice with a stipulated amount of money also must be careful, becos such services are not supposed to have a standard commercial charge, it should be an offering within your heart. As for those fengshui issues, if u r a buddhist, please stand clear from such practises as they are unbuddhistic and aganist the basic teachings of Buddhism itself.As mentioned, spraying supposed "holy water" or chanting scriptures will not bless your house unless u have faith, understand and practise according to the guidelines of the Buddha. Rites and ceremonies are just skillful ways to lead one into Buddhism ... As i mentioned in anoter thread, no fengshui is more powerful than Faith. =)Faith not only withstands but it shines ... Bless u for yr new home ...=)Homage to Lord Buddha ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
