Wat Bang Phra _ Luangpor Pern's Temple
Thursday, Nov 26, 2009 12:36AM / Standard Entry
Wat Bang Phra was where Angelina Jolie got her tiger tattoo from. Well... for me I don't like tattoos even though I was tempted to have one when I was in school, my dad vowed to disown me if i came back with one so for fear of having no roof and food to sustain myself I had to forget that idea.I met Luangpor Pern personally slightly over 10 years ago when he was still alive, I always remembered him because his face was always brimming with Charisma and even at an elderly age his face was so smooth and glowing all the time, he was the only Master that I've known who has such complexion, he looked like a Buddha and was always compassionate. Luangpor Pern used to have his Lek Jarn(Mantra Pen) to draw mantra on his devotees forehead, I was fortunate to have him done that for me before, he would than stick gold paper on his devotees forehead for Charisma and than the mouth for good speech and sales.Luangpor Pern is famous for sitting on a Tiger, he has great passion for Tigers and as such it became his mascot but Luangpor Pern is not born in the year of the Tiger but of the Pig. The Tiger is the symbol of strength and power. Another of Luangpor Perns speciality is that of "Por Gae" otherwise known as Luangpoo Rersee. Rersees are healers who attained high spirituality, every one of them are different and specializes in different skills. Some are specialize in wealth and health while others are specialized in medicine and dharmma teachings. In the compound of Wat Bang Phra you can see many statues of Rersee surrounding one main one which is in a standing position with his finger pointing to one direction. When I was there 10 years ago there was only one main standing statue of Rersee now there are so many of them.One very popular miracle that Luangpor Pern did was in a neighboring town, a shopping centre caught fire and the firemen weren't able to put off the fire, people than went o seek Luangpor Pern's help. He sat and meditated near the building which caught fire and a dark cloud appeared just out of nowhere above the building and started raining heavily extinguishing the fire. This was the might of Luangpor Pern.Luangpor Pern is now resting in a glass coffin in the main hall where he used to be when he was alive, devotees still flock to his temple to seek for blessing. It has been 10 years since I last visited Wat Bang Phra but it was really refreshing to see that the temple is still so well kept and clean.

Take Me Back

I just came back after visiting my beloved Guru from Bangkok, he was a frail figure of what he used to be 10 years ago, of course age is catching up with him, he is already 80 and just underwent a major surgery to his lungs and stomach, he was in the ICU for almost a month. When we reached there it was slightly over midnight but he waited vigilantly for our arrival.When I reached the temple he was sitting upright on his bed just like when he used to greet us as before. I knew he was putting up with the pain and tried to look good for us but in fact it was not as it seemed. I didn't talk much and got the rest of the group to retire early.The next day after we came back from our temple visits he was lying on his bed complaining about the pain in his lungs where it was operated. I didn't know what else to say but felt really sad about his condition. The day we left he stood up again and blessed us as we left the temple. Before we left he told his disciple to pass me some amulets which he had specially blessed, he always does that maybe because of the donations we've done for his temple.What I'm trying to say here is that even as a high ranking monk and abbot of a temple, he always gives back something and he doesn't take anything for free. I've always told my students that we should always give back something in return when we receive something from somebody, it does not have to be in monetary form or materialistic form, it can be by way of good gesture or by giving a helping hand in times of need, most importantly it is the sincerity that counts and I really meant sincerity.People always have a bad habit of just taking and taking but never giving, greed breeds hatred and jeolousy, its the epitome of bad karma. It is really true, those who take NEVER gives and those who gives Never takes. Some people take things as if it were theirs and is meant to be taken, they take peoples things, credit, almost anything..........but never give anything back at all.I meet many people of all walks because of my nature of work but I am blessed in a way that some really prominent people that I meet are really very nice people. I met Lillian Too for tea at her Hotel just this Saturday as she was in Singapore for a Feng Shui convention, as usual we were always talking about everything under the sun, Lillian has always mentioned about being kind and generous towards others. My Indonesian client who has become my friend never put airs even though he is a billionaire and a very prominent figure in his hometown such are great people who always give and never ask in return. Maybe that is why they are all so wealthy.There are many times when you start giving and people think that we are dumb asses that can be taken advantage of. Silence does not mean being gullible nor are we stupid not to be aware of what's going on. The only losses are not those who give but those who fail to understand what giving is all about. I've seen many people who has given their lives to help others, to the eyes of others they may be like fools but to those who gave, they truly know the meaning of being happy.Songmai who looked after my Guru since she was 18 and is now 55 has never regretted what she has chosen to do. She is always happy and blessed. There are so many people that I knew who did similar things and who gave sincerely, not one of them are deprived of happiness. The art of giving is something which needs to be practiced and understood because if you do not understand it you would not be giving and you would not be receiving either.A happy child returns by making a smile on his parents face and giving warmth that can never be compared as such a hug from a loved one heals a million cells. When you give it actually returns much more than what you expected, you just need to look at it in all perspective.Happy Giving :-)

Big Is Good-Feng Shui
Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 11:42PM / Standard Entry
Sorry guys, no pics. I know it's boring without pics but I'm trying to answer your questions as fast as I can. So pics another time ok?When you buy a bed it should be big, if your legs sticks out from the other end of the bed it means it's too small. A small bed is not prosperous at all, if you want your business to grow get a bed as big as the room permits, a super king size bed is best if you have the space. If you're single and doing business, get a huge bed as well and at least a King size if not Super King. DO NOT sleep on a single bed even if you're single, you will find it tough for money to come in.It's the same with your work desk, it should be big as well, big means more money small means less money. Your work desk should also be tidy with all the wires hidden neatly. If you're a boss your table should be different from your subordinates, it should be bigger and look authoritative. You should have a high back chair so that you have support behind you. I met many bosses sitting on chairs similar as that of their office girls and staffs. If its similar than there is no difference between a boss and his subordinate and in the end you will find that no one respects you.Wearing gold is also a symbol of wealth, White gold looks more elegant but if you really want money Gold is the way to go. Erm..... you do not need to wear gold the size of a clock around your neck though but having them around you is good enough.Obviously a bigger wallet or purse is better than a small one but make sure you have money stashed in it. Earlier this year I mentioned about having either a Gold or Silver wallet/purse to bring in money luck. For mens wallet try getting those wide type which fits the $1000 note nicely, reason is because if you can fit in twenty of such bills you would be ehem.....rich????Remember to put in all the money bringing symbols and charms in your new wallet before you even use them and when you give someone a new wallet/purse make sure you have at least some money inside, its bad luck to give someone an empty wallet/purse. Please remember this.I personally like large watches with above 40mm diameter dial maybe because I'm getting older and have astigmatism but its actually a fashion statement now with big dials. Try to get at least some gold on the watch, it does make a significant wealth symbol. The other thing you can add on to your fingers are gold rings and bangles. As the saying goes, when you look rich you are rich at least to people who doesn't know your background :-)But its' the truth....if you drive a big car the first impression to your clients is a big wow, if you ride a bike and is a big boss, it's rather hard for someone to believe that you're a boss unless you're well known so being BIG is sometimes good.

Healing Others
Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 11:50AM / Standard Entry
An acupuncturist who operates near my house has been doing this service for some years, he charges a minimal for his medication only other than that his patients usually gives a little more in token "Ang Pow" or the traditional money wrapped in red packet. He mentions that his father was critically ill at one time and so was his wife. He did a lot of healing for his patients and the more he did the faster his two family members recovered. This acupuncturist is very serious in his work, his ultimate goal is to cure as many patients as possible and not because he does it for profit making, he sincerely wants to help. So his work actually paid off for his father and wife's condition.Another person that I personally knew had a streak of family ill luck, three of the family members died rather untimely but the youngest is doing well because he sells insurance and has done many claims for his clients. So helping others in some way really helps oneself.I have always been told by my Gurus that giving medication and to help others with medical condition is making merits for oneself, in other words we heal ourselves of our own medical problems. It may not be how most people see it , it may not come in the form of a medicine and by taking it you get completely cured. It may come in another form by which you may have to undergo an operation but have better results after that.Most patients who go to Healers or Doctors expect miracles to happen, these people even with great skills are not Gods and cannot always do miracles which is expected of them . Most events in our lives that happens are either because of our own Karma or the Karma's of our parents ( That is how the Buddhist put it in lay man's term) The only way we can lighten this burden is to lighten the burden of others . Most people who after seeking a doctors or Healers advice almost never return with a gesture of appreciation. I know because I was one 15 years ago.My Guru was in ICU for 20 days recently, the only people who went to his aid were those who hardly seek his help while those who always looked for him did not even know what has happened to him. I wonder sometimes if we are still human.Based on what I see or know of people who has always had a heart in helping others, even though they may not be rich, even though their lives may not be as perfect as others have expected it to be. They are definitely spiritually wealthy and have the support of many true friends. I know of many wealthy people but the majority of them are not always happy.We can all do our part to help those in need, there is nothing to loose but a lot more to gain.

Creating Good Luck- Feng Shui
Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009 12:38AM / Standard Entry
My teacher Lillian Too once said that there are many frustrated geniuses in the world, so it's always better to choose to be lucky than to be wise if there is a given choice. Lillian always mentioned that she has always been lucky.Creating good luck isn't very difficult if you care to try, of course not everyone of us share the same degree of luck, some are luckier than others while some doesn't seem to know what luck is all about. Do you know of someone who seems to be unlucky all the time? Someone who always runs out of cash? Someone who's life seems meaningless?Someone who has a streak of family bad luck ? If you do than take note of what is surrounding them, their activities, their life style, their character, their image and most of all how they perceive things in general.When I meant having bad luck I really mean BAD LUCK ! If you have a life, enough money to pull thru, reasonably good health, friends who are there to help you and a family than you are probably having a reasonable life so there is really nothing to complain about.Good luck can be created by first looking at yourself in the mirror, everything begins there. There is no such thing as an ugly man/woman just lazy ones, every baby is born sweet and beautiful it's the growing up process and how much a person looks after themselves which is what they are at the present. There is really no one to blame except oneself.Those whom I've personally known and is having a hard time are always physically and emotionally depressed, they always look haggard, listless and are always pessimistic about everything. Before even embarking onto a task they already have negative thoughts about it. It's like surrendering before you even start fighting.In my older blogs I've written about visualization, visualizing something before embarking onto it is an initial step to the road of success. Battles are easier won when you programmed yourself towards a certain goal. Call it psychology or a state of preparation or whatever, this method works for all that you know.It's easier being a woman because when you put on make-ups and perfumes and dress like a princess, all you get will be good praises and people looking at you but if a guy puts on make up and even dresses to his nines his boyfriends would always remark "Hey Bro...you some kinda gay or something?" Guys in the old world are supposed to look tough and rugged, doesn't even matter if you're bald as long as you have the six packs and look like a hunk you're it....they don't even care if your face looks like a moon crater....it's supposed to be Manly.....I'm not saying a guy should doll himself like a woman but complexion be it man or woman plays a huge role in having good luck. Again Lillian Too once said to me that having a good image and looking good brings fantastic luck and is good Feng Shui. Lillian isn't slim nor is she the sexy sort but she sure looks wealthy, sharp and very chic wherever and whenever she goes even at home. That is one reason why she is so famous and successful !I mentioned a few times in my previous blogs that if you have flat moles on your face and shoulders you should remove them asap, moles on shoulders represent burdens and flat moles on the face is bad luck. I was vain enough to remove these and honestly it really works after all the unwanted moles have been removed. DO NOT remove popped moles...seek a professional before you intend to do it. I'm only talking about removing flat moles here. Go to an aesthetic doctor to do it. There are lots of things you can do if you want good complexion, seek a good aesthetic doctor and your money would be well spent. Personally I'd prefer to look young and well groomed rather than to have wrinkles.Read about the latest fashion and keep up with the trend, if you can't beat them join them ! Seriously...you tend to look more into the mirror when you are hyped about your image, it's just like a car enthusiast, he would make sure that every angle of his car is perfect and the car is running in tip top condition. Vain is healthy...it beats drinking, violence or vice ! There are lots a guy needs to learn from a woman when it comes to make up...just ask your girlfriends. Sunblock cream helps prevent pigmentation and skin damages cause by the suns ultra violet, you don't sag easily too. There is too much to talk about this...just ask a woman and she will teach you what to do about your face.When your looks are done, check your residence, office or shop. If either is always in a mess, you can forget about good luck. Most people like giving excuses about their messiness due to work...as long as it is untidy you will only accumulate negative energy, even if you look like a prince or princess it's not going to bring you any luck. It's simple , just tidy up your desk and put stuffs neatly and properly kept even under storage.Make your bed and change the sheets regularly, if you leave for work with the bed all messed up it just shows that you will do the same with your work. Luck just like money love to be clean, when you have a clean environment plus good image, money will definitely follow suit.Vice attracts very negative energy, if your aura isn't strong and your luck is down it could be rather serious. Some people can do anything and still have good luck, these are only exceptional cases, if you're not one of these people than it would be advisable to do something more positive.The Chinese have a reputation of being selfish in sharing, they keep skills being afraid that if they share others would be better than them. Sharing is one of the best merits anyone could ever do. When you share it makes you better as it forces the best in you to be able to be even better than before. When you share everyone benefits, when you don't your mentality is also being compromised. How could one be lucky when they keep everything for themselves ?When a person is happy, luck usually follows. The looks of a person gives others the impression about them, you can't lie and try to be rich or lucky, it's either you have it or you don't. Luck changes with a persons appearance. The looks on a person's face reflects clearly about it's character. The usual saying goes :"What is in the heart reflects on the face"We may not have the same kind of luck like some celebrities but we can create luck by making a difference in ourselves and the way we live life. The choice is up to us.
