Take note. Readers must need to know beyond the meaning of Heaven, Earth and Man. And most importantly, the ‘Law of Nature’. Here are some tips to help you get started: ‘Heaven’ means the facing of the tomb stone, ‘Earth’ means the Tomb stone and ‘Man’ means the dead.

It will be wise rst to read our foundation books on ‘The Correct Way of Understanding A Person Destiny’ at www.destinyempire.com If you still don’t understand, that’s ne; that’s why you are reading this book. RIGHT! Or go back to our foundation book and read it again.

Introduction

葬書

First, we need to understand what the word “Burial” means? • For a direct translation, it mean something to do with “Earth”; • It can mean burying the dead; • What is inside the Earth; and • The book of Understanding Earth. On The left is a picture of earth with the magnetic eld movement. • The energy movement outside earth is what the Chinese metaphysic world called them “Heaven”; and • The other energy movement inside the earth is termed “Man” These two types energy is crossing the path through “Earth” and without “Earth”, they cannot interact. Understanding the Earth is to understand how energy interact, react but most important is the outcome of the results. And these results can or already can be found in every destiny as long as you are human. All these energy makes up the timing of the Yin and Yang of spring, summer, autumn and winter. As long as we are under the inuence of time, we become second nature of the bigger nature.

Above is an example of a day pillar, where you can see how Heaven and Man connect through the earth. Just like the scenario of the magnetic eld of the earth. Isn’t it the same? Here they are trying to tell us that Heaven, Earth and Man are never separated and will never be. Without either one, nature cannot be form. Just like when you read a Bazi chart, and most practitioners will like to said you are strong wood or weak metal etc.. And ‘The Book of Burial’ is about teaching us that when a person dies, he/she must nd a favourable earth with good magnetic eld to prosperous him/her for their next life, or help their descendants. Here is where the skill lies on helping who rst? The dead or the living?

生氣即一元運行之氣在天則周流六，在地則發生萬物。 天無此，則氣無以資。地無此，則形無以載。 故磅乎大化，貫通乎品彙。無處無之，而無時不運也。 陶侃曰先天地而長存，後大地而固有，蓋亦指此雲耳。 且夫生氣藏於地中，人不可見，唯循地之理以求之， 然後能知其所在，葬者能知其所在，使枯骨得以乘之， 則地理之能事畢矣。

Prosperous energy can be found in our journey derived from the 60 cycle (table on facing page). When energy reaches earth; spring, summer, autumn and winter will be born. This is termed as nature transformation. Energy has no xed location or direction, and North – East – South – West is only a guide. Energy’s has their own land and every land contains certain energy. In other words, every location has its direction, and every direction contains a location! And we must know which energy can use and what cannot. There are beautiful landforms and we must know whether it can be useful to you!

The Book of Burial

For example, there are beautiful landed property, apartments, ofces etc. After moving in, you are burden with multiple obstacles. And it will be too late for regrets. The study of land form is not about the Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger, Back Tortoise and Front Red Phoenix! These are the basic misconception of understanding a landform. Readers please be careful. There are many Chinese emperors with fantastic landforms surrounding them, and some are well known for their nobility and some with bad reputations and still lives with the bad names even until today.

Scroll 1

The law of change is rstly derived from the inuence of energy, and then earth forms with spring, summer, autumn and winter. And the four seasons; each season contains certain energy within for continuous change. And we cannot see what is hidden inside the earth. That’s why we still don’t know the many things about inside earth. But if we understand how nature forms, in terms of the four seasons, we can still nd our prosperous energy. If you know which earth that brings in the prosperous energy to the deceased; and once the deceased is buried, all opportunities will be realised.

五氣行乎地中，發而生乎萬物。 The Book of Burial said: The ve energy travel inside the earth; once they appear on heaven, nature and season will follow the changes.

五氣即五行之氣，乃生氣之別名也。 夫一氣分而為陰陽，析前為五行。 雖運於天，實出於地。行則萬物發生，聚則山川融結。 融結者，即二五之精妙，合而凝也。 The Five Energy; on Heaven we called it 5 energy; on Earth we called it spring, summer, autumn and winter. Their differentiations are due to the Yin and Yang interpretation.

Here’s a Yin and Yang symbol; there is Yin inside Yang and Yang inside Yin. Be it Yin Yang or Yang Yin, they are in unity. Heaven have Yin and Yang, Earth have Yin and Yang, Man also have Yin and Yang. There are in total 4 sectors in the symbol. Why 4? • They are, of course, within Yin there is Yang; and within Yang, there is Yin. • They are the North, East, South and West. • They are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. • That’s is also why all destines comes in 4 pillars.

This is what you must understand of the change in nature. And this can be found everywhere in nature. And what is unique in this nature is when you are already part of it; where this can be found is in your date of birth. When you were born, you were given a unique nature! You must understand what nature you have. Nature can be sentimental as well asdisastrous. Examples: earthquake, volcano, typhoon, tsunami etc. And this can be quite disturbing to the earth. And this is due to the movement of clashes and combines of the earth. The inuence of this normally comes in a form of characters.

The Book of Burial

人受體于父母，本骸得氣遺體受蔭。 The Book of Burial said: We depend on our mother for our existence because she gave birth to us. And the form of our body depends on t he energy level within our mother’s physical condition.

父母骸骨為子孫之本，子孫形體乃父母之枝， 一氣相蔭，由本而達枝也。 故程子曰：卜其宅兆，蔔其地美惡也。 地美則神靈安，子孫盛。 若培壅其根，而枝葉茂，理固然也。惡則反是。 蔡季通曰：生死殊途，情氣相感，自然默與之通。 今尋暴骨，以生人刺血滴之而滲入，則為親骨肉，不滲則非。 氣類感，有如此者，則知枯骨得蔭，生人受福。 其理顯然，不待智者而後知也。 或謂抱養既成，元非遺體，僧道嗣續， 亦異所生，其何能蔭之有？ 而不知人之心，通乎氣。 心為氣之主，情通則氣亦通，義則蔭亦。 故後母能蔭前母子、前母亦發後母兒， 其在物則簍藪螟蛉之類是也。尚何疑焉？

Scroll 1

The forming of our bones from our mother’s stomach represents our roots (Man). And the forming of our esh represents the branch (Earth). The day of delivery when we are part of the world represent ourselves (Heaven). Just like how nature grows from inside out. • • •

We need earth that is why we call them mother “Earth”; We need the Rain and the Sun to make nature happen, and that is why we call them “Heaven”; and And it is our responsibility to play our part in nature, and they gave us a name call “Man”.

How to understand nature?

Start with your own, your own destiny! Destiny is a destination with a purpose. Is it reachable or it never will? Here is a clue for you, if you fall under the nature of soil, then you must go and nd out how soil helps in growing nature? They need the Sun to make it happen for them. And when you had reached the Sun, you will have success without question. The breakthrough here is what do you want to achieve? And what is your objective? Your destiny can be a relentless desire that will drive you all out, that is why you need to understand your nature rst. And your lucks play a very important role in your life. Your destiny was xed and it cannot be changed because they were the creators of your personality and characteristics, the people in your life, the outcome of who can support you and who cannot. Are you a go-getter or just sitting on the fence? But once you understand your destiny, and the best thing is you are changing even without you really knowing it. Everyone is under the inuence of good luck and bad luck which you do not have to know why, and it will happen because nature said so. Good luck is call good Feng Shui, and vice versa for bad luck. Everyone is born with good and bad feng shui which can be found in your running lucks. And they are each unique to individual.

經曰：氣感而應鬼福及人。 The Book of Burial said; Once you can feel the energy, the difference between good and bad will surface immediately.

父母子孫本同一氣，互相感召，如受鬼福。 故天下名墓在在有之，蓋真龍發迹，迢迢百里， 或數十裏結為一穴，及至穴前則峰巒矗擁，水環繞， 疊層層，獻奇于後，龍脈抱衛，砂水翕聚，形穴既就， 則山川之靈秀造化之精英，凝結融會於其中矣。 苟盜其精英竊其靈秀，以父母遺骨藏于融會之地， 由是子孫之心寄託於此，固其心之所寄， 遂能與之感通，以致福於將來也。 是知人心通乎氣，而氣通乎天，以人心之靈合山川之靈， 故降神孕秀，以鍾於生息之源，而其富貴貧賤壽夭賢愚， 靡不攸系，至於形貌之妍醜，並皆肖象山川之美惡， 故嵩岳生申，尼丘孕孔，豈偶然哉？鳴呼！ 非葬骨也，乃葬人之心也。非山川之靈亦人心自靈耳。 世有往往以遺骨棄諸水火，而無禍福者，蓋心與之離故也。 Father, mother, children and grand children are of a single unity. They go through together both difculties and happiness.

There are many famous and well known tomb-stones where the real dragon is being trace down, from 100 to 1000 km distance away; embracing the meridian spot, surrounded by smooth owing water, the continuous of staggering mountain, displaying a unique formation from back to front, encompass by the dragon veins, the earth and water consolidate forming a consolidation breath, surrounded by beautiful and serene nature etc. So the question is, can you nd or know how to nd this kind of landscape? Can you nd this kind of surrounding in your country, or what happen if you live in an apartment? Realistically and on a practical approach, rst, we are all unique. And we live in different location. You may nd a similar or even same landscape from the picture above, but some cannot be use due to the location factor, example it can be in Greenland, North or Northwest Canada because they are cover with snow.

葬书

The Book of Burial

Even if you had found a similar landscape, do you know which earth to start the burial? There are in total only 12 types of earth that can be used! These 12 types are the same as the 12 Earthly Branches. Even if you know the earth that should be used, do you know the facing? Even if you know the Earth to use and the facing, do you know how to use a date to join the 3 forces and reinforce ti into the deceased so that the energy can be captured! If all this are done correctly, the effect is almost immediate. This means, “You can feel the dynamic positive ows of the energy”!

是以銅山西崩，靈鍾東應。 The Book of Burial said: Even an Iron Mountain can be split apart. Unless you know how to handle and manage the dead. Mountain symbolises the Earth. Split Apart is when the location is right but the facing (Energy) is wrong; this is where the energy can split the mountain apart!

漢)未央官，二日無故鍾自鳴。 東方朔曰：必主銅山崩，未幾西蜀果奏銅山崩， 以日揆之，正未央鍾鳴之日也。 帝問朔：何以知之？對曰：銅出於山， 氣相感應，猶人受體于父母也。 帝歎曰：物尚爾，況於人乎！ 昔曾子養至，孝子出，母欲其歸，則齧指而曾子心痛。 人凡父母不安而身離待側，則亦心痛。 特常人孝心薄而不自覺耳。 故知山崩鍾應，亦其理也。 In brief, the above paragraph is taking Earth and Metal as a reference reading on how Energy can affect Earth. Earth produces metal within earth. Is just like mother conceived, and when metal is removed from earth, they have to break the earth! Mother will be in great pain during labour. And when the metal is out, they don’t like the earth because they do not want to be trap again. Here the book is trying to say if you make mistake on the earth and energy level, life will be in vain.

木華于春，栗芽於室。 The Book of Burial said:: Wood transforms in spring. The transformation is from the roots in the earth.

此亦言一氣之感召也。野人藏栗，春至，栗木華。 而家藏之栗，亦芽。實之去本已久，彼華此芽， 蓋以個性原在得氣，則相感而應。 亦猶父母之骨，葬乘生氣而子孫福旺也。 大一氣磅於大地間，無端倪無終窮，萬物隨時運化， 本不自知而受，造物者亦不自知也。 Example; 戊 born at the end of spring where 辰 is the season. Inside 辰, there are 戊乙癸. 乙 is the roots of the Tree and in order to nd out the health and wealth of a mountain, as long as wood can grow on mountain, they will be termed as a healthy and wealthy mountain. It is just like a person, as long as they acquire the character, they will ourish in life. The time of ourishing is when the tree grow. And in burying the deceased, we must rst nd out which roots can be used. And they are mostly kept inside the earth which can be found in a person destiny. In the 60甲子, if you know, there will be 2 to 3 pillar can be use for burial. As you can see from the 60 cycle, each energy bring along a earth and each earth bring along an energy.

Scroll 1

蓋生者氣之聚，凝結者成骨，死而獨留。 故葬者反氣人骨，以蔭所生之法也。 The Book of Burial said:: As you know that life comes from energy, and they produce esh and bones; and when a person dies, the bones remained. The leftover energy! These bones derived from the energy and when the energy stops, they are trap inside the earth. To resurrect the energy, one must go and nd out the alternative earth that can give life to them again; because from the 60 cycle, you can nd that every earth carries an energy and every energy sits on earth. Once you have found the earth and buried the deceased, the energy will draw out the roots and the change will start almost immediately. The rules and laws of live after death of the Energy.

乾父之精，坤母之血，二氣感合，則精化為骨，血化為肉。 複借神氣，資乎其間。遂生而為人。 及其死也，神氣飛揚，血肉消潰，惟骨獨存。 而上智之士，圖葬于吉地之中，以肉乘生氣， 外假子孫思慕一念，與之吻合， 則可以複其既往之神，萃其己散之氣。 蓋神趨則氣應，地靈而人傑，以無為有， 借偽顯真，事通陰陽，功奪造化，是為反氣人骨， 以蔭所生之法也。 The Heaven represent Energy and the blood represents the veins of the Earth. And when these two connects, bone will be form. The veins will transform into earth and becomes the vitality of man. The timing of birth is about facing death, and the timing of dead is about facing a new birth; and they are termed the Yin and Yang of Life.

丘壟之骨，阜之支，氣之所隨。 The Book of Burial said:: The bones of the deceased and the grounding of a tombstone must follow the respond of the energy.

丘壟為陰岡，阜為陽丘。 言其高骨，乃山之帶石者，坑高不能自立， 必借石帶土，而後能聳也。 岡者迹也，土山為阜，言支之有毛脊者，壟之有骨氣隨而行。 則易見支無石故必觀其毛脊而後能辨也。 然有坑而土支而石城而隱支而隆者， 又全借乎心目之巧，以區別也。 The bones of the deceased represent Yin and the tombstone represents the Yang.

The Book of Burial

Using the layout of The Ming Tombs as our example:

The back or tip of the mountain represents the bone, illustrated by the blue line. Just like the spine of a person back. The area, illustrated as yellow circle, is the resting ground. Also known as the “Meridian Spot”. Generally, this is termed as good location, and the required skill to determine what energies the land had gathered.

經曰氣乘風則散，界水則止。 The Book of Burial said: When the favourable energy is captured and contained, all negative energy will be dissipated. It is not about using the physical water to capture and contain the energy.

Scroll 1

謂生氣隨支壟體質流行，滔滔而去，非水界則莫之能止。 及其止也，必得城郭完密，而後左右環圍， 然後能藏風，而不致有蕩散之患。 經雲：明堂惜水如惜血，堂裏避風如避賊, 不慎哉？ All energies are riding on dragon (Earth), and there are 5 types of energies and each energy have their Yin and Yang. • • •

There is Heaven water that cannot be perceived by the naked eye. Heaven problems require Heaven Energy to solve. There is also Earth water and it can be perceive. Earth problems require Earth to solve. There is also Man water and only through the understanding of Heaven and Earth, Man can be solved.

The saying of the left and right serves as the arm to protect the tombstone? Think again, there are many different tombstones around the world. With cultural indifferences. How do you explain that? Does it mean that tombstone without the left and right embracement is termed as bad. Of course NOT! The “left and right” embracement is talking about the Yin and Yang of 60 甲子. We will touch on the 24 mountains in the later chapter and will reveal to you for the rst time in the history of Feng Shui – ‘The Secret of the 24 Mountains’. If only readers know and understand this approach, the result will surface.

The Book of Burial

古人聚之使不散，行之使有止，故謂之風水。 The Book of Burial said: Ancient people use this theory of the left and right embracement to prevent the energy from escaping. That’s where the word “Feng Shui” is used. • • • • •

Feng represent “Air” Shui represent “Water” Air needs water to recycle and water needs air to nurture nature Water and Air are the only two elements lives on a co-dependency There are NO metal that can produces water or air. Readers please take note!

高坑之地，天陰自上而降，生氣浮露，最怕風寒，易為蕩散。 如人深居密室，稍有罅隙通風，適當肩背，便能成疾。 故當求其城郭密固，使氣之有聚也。 平支之穴，地陽自下而科，生氣沈潛， 不畏風吹（缺）．出在曠野，雖人面無蔽， 已自不覺：或遇穴晴日朗，其和之氣自若，故不以曠為嫌， 但取水之有止使氣之不行也。此言支壟之取用不同，有如此。 The perception of Earth, when they are too high, the temperature is cold. Prosperous energy is most afraid of blockage. I-ching termed them as unstable. Just like a house with crack hole on the wall, prolonging the crack will turn into illnesses! Just like buying a property, rst you must know whether the property is suitable to you because; you may be buying: • An illnesses • An disastrous • A fortune • A status • A Divorce • A childless • A murder •

A Haunted etc….

There are only two types of land in Feng Shui, the high land and the low land. Just like there are only 12 Earthly Branches. They are the 6 Yin and 6 Yang Earth. Whether the energy is usable, you must nd out the energy of each Earth brings. And every destiny is used differently.

風水之法，得水為上，藏風次之。 The Book of Burial said: The Law of Feng Shui, The Earth play the most important role but is not on the Earth itself, rather what Energy the Earth brings is of paramount. The left and the right embracement is secondary.

支壟二者欲得水，高壟之地或從腰落，雖無大江截， 亦必池塘以止氣，不則去水稍遠，而隨身金魚不可無也。 儻金魚不界，則謂之雌雄失經，雖藏風亦不可用。 平支之地，屆若無蔽，但得水截， 何嫌曠，故二者皆以得水為上也。 The Yin and Yang of the Earth must have energy, be it highland or low land. Even without running stream in front to serve as a capturing point, it doesn’t matter. There is also no principle on how long or how far the water runs. But the question is, is there energy that can be use? And if the energy cannot be used, even with the left and right embracement also cannot be use!!!

經曰：外氣形氣止生，蓋言此也。 The Book of Burial said: The Energy depends on the Earth and the Earth depends on the Energy.

何以言之氣之盛，雖流行而其餘者猶有止， 雖零散而其深者猶有聚。 The Book of Burial said: How to know if an Energy is ourishing, or an Energy is being stopped?

甲 寅 When the Energy is rm; it means Heaven, Earth and Man all appear in identical, this is termed ourishing!

庚 寅 When Heaven prevent or stop the Earth from growing; meaning the metal is stopping the wood from growing, this is termed being stop by Heaven! Many people had make serious mistake by only understanding Earth, not knowing that the results of the Earth is from Heaven. That’s why the book keeps stressing Heaven as the most important factor in a feng shui application. Because Heaven have the nal say as they are the outcome of the burial results.

高坑之地落勢雄雌，或上或止各有（缺）作自（缺）一地， 可盡其力量也。 而好龍多從腰落，分枝蔓於數十裏之間， 或為城郭、朝樂、官曜、禽鬼、捍門、華表、羅星之類， 皆本身自帶，不可為彼既流行而餘者非止也。 但當求其聚處，而使之不散耳。 平支魚龍，大山跌落平洋，四畔曠闊， 其為城郭亦不過高逾數尺而已， 且去穴遼遠朝山一點在乎雲寓之表，人莫不以八風無蔽為嫌， 又豈知支壟氣隱，若零散而其深者，猶有聚也。 但得水截，使之有止耳。此言支壟之氣盛者如此。 Most people search mountain after mountain to locate the bones and veins of a dragon in nature and not knowing that there is readily a dragon in their path that comes in a 10-years cycle. They can be found in the 28 constellations that are already hidden in our bones and blood. There are several way to nd them in our life. For example, you can rst try gure it out in your destiny that contain 4 location and 4 Energy that they can tell you about the eight formations. If you are keen to know and nd out more, you can decode it in our Master Classic book on ‘The Heaven Instillation Treasure’.

故藏於涸燥者，宜深。藏於但夷者，宜淺。 The Book of Burial said: When burial on highland, must buried deep. And on at land, must not too deep.

上句言壟，下句言支。高壟之地陰之象也。 氣在強剛而機下，故言涸燥當深葬。 平支之地，陽之象也，氣在外弱柔而浮上，故言但夷當淺葬。 Because highland is cold outside and warm on the inside. Warm is living energy and cold is dead Energy. And at land can easily received or capture warm Energy and need not to bury too deep. How deep is termed deep? 6 feet below and within. Why 6? 12 earthly branches divide by 2 = 6 Yin and 6 Yang. The Sun rise and set with the 6 branches. Just like a human body, when the weather is cold, our inner body start to vibrate and produce heat to keep us warm. And when we are cold on the inside, we need the warm Energy outside to balance the cold inside.

經曰：淺深得乘，風水自成。 The Book of Burial said: Once you know the Yin and Yang of the Energy, naturally will have excellent Feng Shui.

高壟之葬，潛而弗彰。故深取其沈氣也。 平支之葬，露而弗隱，故淺取其浮氣也。 得乘者：言所葬之棺，得以乘其生氣也。 淺深世俗多用九星白法，以定尺寸，謬也。 不若只依金銀爐底求之為得。 If you can understand the Yin and Yang of burial; highland and atland can also be of favourable to anyone. As long as you know where the good Energy reside, any land can also be useful. People do not understand the Yin and Yang of deep and surface burial, and used Flying Stars and Purple White and feng shui ruler to measure the deep and surface of a burial. Their intent to deceive, to confuse, to cheat and absurd usages. Readers please be careful.

夫陰陽之氣，噫而為風，升而為雲， 降而為雨，行乎地，而為生氣。 The Book of Burial said: The Energy of Yin and Yang; it can be Wind, when gather can form clouds, and becomes rain, once touches the ground, Earth will be prosperous and nature are nurture and the birth of nature st arts.

陰陽之氣，即地中之生氣。故嗜為風，升為雲，降為雨。 凡所以位天地、育萬物者何：莫非此氣邪斯。 蓋因曰葬乘生氣，故重舉申明其義， 愚嘗謂能生殺，皆此氣也。 葬得其法，則為生氣。失其道，則為殺氣。 如所謂加減饒惜，吐浮沈之類。 並當依法而剪裁之，不致有撞殺、沖刑、破腮、翻斗之患也。 To know Feng shui is to know nature; and understand how and what is the cause of inuencing them to grow. Just like buring a deceased, you must rst nd out from their nature which can be found in the year, month, day and hour. This is NATURE. And what creates nature? ENERGY! The good and bad energy all are already stated in a person destiny. • Energy come with the good and the bad. • The good energy sometime cannot be use. • The bad energy sometime can be very effective. • The good can become bad. • The bad can become good too. All burials can be read as destinies as well; and it is as accurate as a destiny reading, and will depends what you want to achieve.

夫土者氣之體，有土斯有氣。氣者水之母，有氣斯有。 The Book of Burial said: Earth is the body of the Energy. As long as there is earth, energy can be found. Air is the mother of water; without Air, how does water come?

氣本無體，假土為體。因土而知有此氣也。 水本無母，假氣為母，因氣而知有此水也。 五行以天一生水，且水何從生哉？ 生水者金也，生金者土也。土腹藏金，無質而有其氣。 乾藏坤，隱而未見。及乎生水，其兆始萌。 言氣為水母者，即乾金之氣也。 世人不究本源，但以所見者水爾。 故遂以水為大地之始，蓋通而未精者也。 What form Energy? They have no forms, they are the srcins. They use nature as articial earth. What form Water? Water also have no form. They used articial metal as mother. Because of energy, we know there is water. Water comes from Heaven, because there is no element that can produce water. Metal produce water? From the cold conguration is just like earth produce metal by trapping them. If you understand how earth produces metal, you will know how metal produces water. They don’t really “produce”, their produce is by capturing the energy that produces them.

People do not understand the srcins, and literally mistook the real water as water. Although physical water is the source of alliving l things but we must understand on how they come from! This book is the source of all srcin!

經曰：土形氣形物因以生。 The Book of Burial said: The form of earth is derived from Energy.

生氣附形而有，依土而行，萬物亦莫非（缺）也。 此引經結上文，有土斯有氣之意。 Earth is the outcome of Energy. That’s why earth have various shapes; Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire shapes!

夫氣行乎地中，其行也因地之勢其聚也小因勢之止。 The Book of Burial said: When Energy complete the forms of Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire, they can travel under the earth.

氣行地中，人不可見其始也。 則因地之勢而知其行其次也，又因勢之止而知其聚也。 Once earth is complete, Energy can travel under it so they can initiate seasons changes where spring, summer, autumn and winter are formed.

葬者其起，乘其止。 The Book of Burial said: To understand the “Book of Burial”, you must rst understand the knowledge on the source of srcin.

善葬者必原其起，以觀勢。乘其止，以穴。 凡言止者，乃山川融結，奇秀之所，有非明眼，莫能識也。 《片玉髓》雲：草上露華偏在尾，花中香味總居心。 其止之謂與或謂粘穴，乘其脈之盡處為止， 然則益倚撞安可以上？ 雲不知古人正恐後世不識止處，故立為四法，以乘之夫。 蓋者止土蓋，倚者止於倚也。 撞粘莫不皆然，唯觀義之所在高低，正側何往、而非止乎？ Before burial, you must rst understand the nature of the deceased. How their energy ows, which energy can be used, which land can be use and how to use? Because once you can understand the Energy, there are invisible mountains and terrains, beautiful surroundings where the naked eyes cannot see. All things, as long as the naked eye can perceive, can be faked. Be it mountain, stream, left and right embracing, veins, meridian spot etc. This are all the wrong perceptions. Readers please learn to understand and read beyond the paragraphs.

千尺言其遠，指一枝山之來勢也。 百尺言其近，指一穴地之成形也。 Please refer to the above explanation.

勢來形止，是謂全氣。全氣之地，當葬其止。 The Book of Burial said: When the Energy is settling on the Earth, it becomes very inuential. And it is good for the burial.

Look at the Earth. And when the Heaven and Earth are in aiding, power and inuent can be found there. There are 12 earth branches in total, and in the twelve, there is only one earth that will make a big difference in a person’s life. And knowing the Heaven 5 elements is not enough; there is a missing portion and it can be found on the 12 earth. How to use the earth, they are all already reected in your destiny chart. And you must learn and study them correctly and make no mistake about it because this is your life. If you know your destiny, you can denitely nd your Feng Shui in yourself. What can use and what cannot, you will know it as well.

All apartment and land can have the same door facing, but all living come from different destiny. That’s the difference!

宛委自複，回環重復。 The Book of Burial said: The power and inuence can be found in the Yin and Yang. Yang runs forward and Yin runs in reverse.

宛委自複，指其勢而言。 或順或逆，即委蛇東西，或為南北之意也。 回環重復，以其形而論，層拱疊繞，即朝海拱辰之義也。 全氣之地，其融結之情如此。

A bad Earth can destroy an empire and brings in conicts to a home. A money depository Earth is better not to be exposed! And it is better to be hidden. Once they are exposed, they can become ruthless.

When this can be achieve, it can become aiding to ‘nature’ and wood can grow healthily. The ‘Nature’ is referred to individual nature in a destiny. And the outcome will be obvious.

The Book of Burial said: If the Meridian Spot of an earth can store a good Energy and the Energy can grow nature; the grading of the land will be very high and valuable. If the deceased is buried under this kind of land, prosperity will be granted. And most descendent will benets from it for many years to come.

Now the most critical aspect is a date to join all the three into a unity body. A suitable date selection. The date selection will be based on the deceased’s destiny as the pivot point of reference. In • • •

a destiny chart, one must understand the differentiation of: The Yin and Yang of the Heaven. The Yin and Yang of the Earth. The Yin and Yang of the Man.

Heaven is also term as ‘Period’ = 三元 Earth is also termed as ‘Gather’ = 三合 That is where the ‘Compass School’ and the ‘Form School’ were created. Heaven and Earth didn’t separate but people separated them in two different schools of thoughts. And in a date selection, these two forces joined hands to perfect an Energy to be use. Just like a date that maps out a nature in everyone’s life. If they are separated, we wouldn’t even exist. Readers please ponder.

You have the right land and right energy but when the date selection is in chaos, all good will be minimized. Because a new destiny emerge at the time of the burial and the date will stand and override the Heaven and Earth. This is to tell you how strong the impact of a date can do to the living and the dead.

It is not difcult but it is too easy that people don’t see it that way. It has been now named under mystical or metaphysics but the secret is already written in the foundation.

若水之波。

此言隱伏于平洋大阪之間，一望渺無涯際，層層級級， 若江面之水，微風蕩漾。則有輕波細紋，謂之行地水， 微妙玄通，吉在其中矣。 The Book of Burial said: The denition of Water. There are water that can be seen and cannot be seen. Water forms are waves; ripples; storms; surges etc and all this can be seen. But in a Burial, the use will be the one that naked eye cannot see; that is, the make-up of good fortune and bad fortune.

若馬之馳。其來若奔。其止若屍。 The Book of Burial said: The speed of our lucks is just like a running horse. When it gallops, it is the time of our success. When you had already enter them, back track and nd where that lies. Your Feng Shui is there. And when they stop running the fortune is fading fast.

But if you don’t initiate the move, the money is just like behind your backyard which you can’t see it from your front door.

來勢如虎出深林，自幽而漸顯，氣象蹲踞而雄壯， 止勢如雁落平砂，自高而漸低，情意俯伏而馴順， 氣象尊嚴擁護綿密，若萬乘之尊也。 The Book of Burial said: There are certain destinies that the good and bad come together within a pillar. As long as the Qi can be use, it is still acceptable. And this is where there are some people that do bad things, and yet still can become successful in other ways. The applications of Feng Shui have to be exible. Some people do good things in all their life but without much success; and some do bad things and ourishes. Feng Shui is always in neutral; it depends on what you want and how to achieve the results. Nature is for us to use. Some people have to do bad, in order to achieve the results. And the difference is that the end results matter. There are people who do bad for a good cause; there are people who always do good but the cause of the outcome can be bad.

The worldly things that we can see with our naked eye are most of the time, fakes. The outcomes of nature cannot be understood or seen with our naked eyes. The law of nature is too difcult to put down into words because the perception of different individuals will see it in many different forms. The changing world is nothing but the propagation and inuence by the words of mouth. Just like if you don’t eat, you will never know the taste.

Although people have been talking about land formations, but in fact, it is not about land formations. The Qi and the forms, if only you understand nature the application will be very easy. And as we know that Qi ride on forms, and form derived in a person’s destiny; and it is not from the way by looking at land formation on suitability. Most commoner will make this mistake. There are people who listen and learn from ‘others’, and there are also people who follow blindly etc. Instead, this will cause more harm than benecial to them. These are the people who have no ideas about nature, and yet talking about nature. Most learners use only brain and forget heart. How to help them?

From the 60 甲子 table, and there are 60 types of different land forms. Each of the land form carries a Qi with them. And in aperson’s destiny, we are inuence by this 60 pillars. In a luck pillar, it contains a mini 10 years period. If we talk about a complete 60 cycle, we will never make it there! Because in reality, if we can live thru to the 9th or 10th pillar, we are already 90 – 100 years old.

The Book of Burial

Only if you know the 60 cycles, you will be able to tell which earth carries which kind of Qi. Here is a word of caution, different destiny carried different pillars. That’s why you need to know all of them. If you are a master, you should not take any risk on people’s life. You have to be sure and be certain about it. Between you and your customer, there is a transaction taking place – a consideration is present. Make no mistake about it. Heaven Instillation Treasure said: Every location has a direction and every direction comes with a location. Every Heaven has a Earth and every Earth comes with a Heaven.

The Qi Why the Qi? The Qi is the Heaven and the Heaven is also the Qi. They are in fact the same, only the term used is different; so it is good enough to divert people’s attention from knowing the secret. From the 60 甲子 table, you can see that there are 6 same Qi that sits on 6 different landforms; and each of them can only see each other in a 100 years cycle. But just by knowing the Qi is not good enough. In fact, it can cause a downfall in a person’s life. The truth is, you must know this Qi is good for who and who can use it. And it is the core of turning a person’s life.

The Timing Here, the timing refers to the art and skill of connecting the Qi, the Land, the burial and nally, the living. What is the purpose of the burial? If you know which Qi to use for the dead as to prosperous the descendants, but if it is not use correctly, the effect can be devastating to the descendants as well as to the dead.

Scroll 3

Timing is something that you have to learn from our school. There are no short cuts. Because Feng Shui and Destiny are not applications. The application will only be effective after you had acquired the REAL knowledge. The date application you can nd it in our book on ‘The Innite Treasure’.

乘金相水，穴土印木。 The Book of Burial said: The Earth must be able to produce metal. And the produce must on the outside and not trapped; because earth produce metal by trapping them inside. When metal is trapped, they cannot be used, that’s why metal has to be outside meaning appearing on the Heaven. And when the trapped Qi appear on the Heaven, they are free and they can be exercise meaning can be used. If this can be achieved, nature will grow. As long as a meridian spot can grow with nature and it is good for the deceased, it can prosperous the descendents.

陰陽沖和，五上四備。

物無陰陽，違天背原。孤陽不生，獨陰不成。 二五感化，乃能沖和。沖和之處，則必有五色異土以應之。 言四備者，不取于，又曰沖和之處陰氣寒，至此而。 陽氣熱，至此而涼。涼之氣，是為沖和。 The Book of Burial said: If there is neither Yin nor Yang, nature will not happen. Because Yang without Yin, birth will not take place, just like Man without woman cannot promote birth. And Yin without the present of Yang, Yin cannot form. That’s why each of the ve elements comes with one Yin and one Yang. Here are the examples below: • Wood have Yin and Yang. A tree without leaves, we can tell that it is not healthy. • Fire have Yin and Yang. In spring and summer, we know the weather is warm and hot; in autumn and winter, the weather is cold. This tell us the day and night. • Earth have Yin and Yang. They are the highland and low ground. • Metal have Yin and Yang. The freeze and chill for food preservatives. •

Water have Yin and Yang. The sea and the rain.

These are all the transformations of the Yin and Yang of the 5 elements. And when a burial ground is concern, we must rst understand the Yin and Yang of the outcome of the usage. Meaning, you must understand and know the outcome of the burial rst before any recommendation can take place. Please remember: you have to know it rst!

Just like a well dressed person, we may easily be deceived by basing on their appearance. First is to know the person’s destiny and understand their nature, then you will be able to judge what can or cannot be used for that nature. Then you will know which burial ground is suitable for the deceased. 5 elements are not easy to understand. Although the knowledge had spread across the continents, not much people can fully understand them. They may be only 5 elements, but within them, there are thousands and even millions of changes and transformations.

In order to know and understand them, they are all living within the 5 elements. We called them ‘The Micro Nature of mother Earth’, our destinies. Nature is here for us to learn about them, and the saddest thing is that they are not taught in school because no one understand or even pay attention to them. I am the translator of this book, persistent that the day will come and my knowledge will be shared with the world. That’s why I chose to translate this book, ‘The book of Burial’. And when we die, where we will go? There is only one place, back to where we had come from, ‘THE NATURE’! In this world, there are thousands of people born within the same year, month, day and hour; but one thing they forget is, they came from different locations and directions. That is why, people may have the same birthday, but all results varies. Ever since our birth, we have being inuenced by the nature of Feng Shui. Because Feng Shui is about nature; and nature is about Feng Shui. The Heaven is Earth; and Earth is Heaven! Yin is Yang; and Yang is Yin.

If the meridian does not contain the Qi that the deceased wants, and the earth Qi is dissipated, even with the beauty surrounding, the land cannot be used for burying.

Just like the previous sentence said, if you are not aware or don’t know where the good Qi is being captured, even the beautiful surround cannot help. In Feng Shui knowledge, it is not about the physical world like the mountain, water that we are able to see. Real Feng Shui is looking at the invisible Earth, Fire, Wood, Metal and Water.

One careful consideration is that the ow must be sentimental. There are many different interpretations and different scenarios, this is because natures are not identical. Ponder and think are two different subjects. The North and South climates are different from the East and West. Some places have the four seasons’ inuences and some don’t. Just like a property can make a person to be a millionaire, but not everyone staying in the same property will become millionaire? Why is it so? Because of different destinies and every destiny have different nature in it. To know nature is as goodas knowing Feng Shui. If you know Feng Shui you know nature.

朱雀源於生氣。

And we must study and understand how it started. Firstly, there is Qi, and there is Yin and Yang. That’s where cold and hot is derived from the Qi. This point alone, we know that, everything started with a Yin and Yang. Warm Qi rises and cold Qi falls. As warm is lighter than cold; so when warm Qi rises, they accumulates and becomes heavy. Why heavy, because when they accumulates, the concentration becomes water. When water becomes too heavy, they fall and we called it, rain. The rain doesn’t just come by itself. These are the outcomes of the Qi’s inuences. The rain nurture Mother Nature and growth take place. Readers please take note that rain has to stop so that nature can give birth. If the rain doesn’t stop, they can destroy nature. Now, how rains grow nature? Their responsibility is to moisture the earth. When earth is moist, they need the sun to make it happen. That’s why rain has to stop then the sun can make nature grow. This is why Heaven and Earth are in unity and they never separates. Readers, now you know!

派于未盛，朝於大旺。 The Book of Burial said: The appointment of water. To understand accumulation of water is by understanding on how they ows. One must know that water always ows downward. And why they ow downward? Because they follow the direction of earth. To determine how water ows is not by understanding water but is about earth. Without earth, nothing can control water. Water always gather at one point which is the lowest ground located in SouthEast. Water ows from NorthWest which is the highest ground. Air is accumulated and capture by the Mountain (戊癸 combined pull in 丙. Snow mountain received the Sun, water forms). That’s why land selection is an important role in a burial. Before selecting a burial site, we must rst understand the deceased destiny, where nature can be read. Just like understanding the water ow but is not at the water; instead is about the earth. If you know the gathering point of the water, you will know which land is suitable. In the 60 甲子, there are in total 60 different land forms. To help you, they can be seen in the 24 mountains; of which, only 12 mountains can be used and 12 cannot. Even if you know the 12, it have to refer to the deceased for usage, and not by merrily looking at the surrounding.

Some run according to the 12 earth while some runs in the reverse way. This can be found in a person’s destiny. All good and bad can be witnessed along the way.

But the real knowledge even without a meridian spot, it can also be done like magic. All you need is a good Qi! If you know where the good can be found, everywhere is just as good. Not many people know that there are good and bad meridian spots. What is a meridian spot? It captures Qi. If you know how to capture the Qi, do you really need a meridian spot? Think!

洋洋悠悠，顧我欲留。其來無源，其去無流。 The Book of Burial said: The 60 甲子 cycle can move in clockwise and counter clockwise. What is important is that there is one pillar that can take care of you for life. It may or may not have already passed us by. The worst of all, you don’t get to reach them in time. If you don’t know nature, it will give you a sudden shock of many surprises.

經曰：山來水回，貴壽而財。山囚水流，虜王滅侯。 The Book of Burial said: Which mountain can embrace water? Another saying is, which earth can retained the good Qi! Nobility, longevity and wealth will accumulate. When the mountain is trapped and the Qi escapes, the descendents will be captivated and slowly, one will fail after another.

The Green Dragon Classic 青囊序 : The Secrets of the 24 Mountains 杨公养老看雌雄，天下诸书对不同． 先看金龙动不动，次察血脉认来龙； The master observed the cycle of Yin and Yang throughout his life. The contents of one book will have many interpretations by many individuals. Even if the secret is out, no one will pay attention to it. First, we must see whether there is any movement on the ‘Golden Dragon’. If the ‘Golden Dragon’ is moving, then the veins, meridian spot and mountain will be secondary. If you do not understand the ‘Golden Dragon’, you will not know how to use the veins, meridian spot and mountain.

龙分两片阴阳取， The dragons are divided by Yin and Yang. ‘Dragons’ mean earths, because dragon is the only branch that can grow by itself. There is, in total, 12 Earthly branches; divide them into 2 sections, there are 6 Yin branches and 6 Yang branches.

水对三叉细认踪， You must know Heaven, Earth and Man; the trinity of nature. They are all from 60 甲子.

The Book of Burial

江南龙来江北望，江西龙去望江东； If the dragon is coming from South, you know that it is heading towards North. If the dragon is coming from West, you know that it is heading towards East. Locations or directions, which is more critical on the above paragraph?

是以圣人卜河洛，涧二水交华嵩， 相其阴阳观流泉，卜年卜世宅都宫； The Sage know what is “He To” and “Luo Shu”. It is just like the Early Heaven and Later Heaven, or it can mean Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, Good and Bad, Male and Female etc… With this, it can help us understand the cycle of 60 甲子. You can use it for your ancestor or your entire life on the good and bad period.

晋世景纯传此术，演经立意出玄空， 朱雀发原生旺气，一一讲说开愚蒙； This is the pure knowledge from nature and can be turned into a very powerful skill. Only by understanding the classic, will you then discover the profound meaning within the emptiness. If you know this, you can see the invisible Qi. The open space must have good Qi. And one must not listen to wordof-mouth from others.

The Green Dragon Classic

一生二兮二生三，三生万物是玄关， 山管山兮水管水，此是阴阳不待言； Heaven created Earth, and Earth created Man. That’s why man is responsible for nature. This 3 forces are the trinity of the universe. Mountain needs mountain to cure, and Water needs water to cure? Meaning Heaven need heaven to solve heaven’s problems, and Earth needs earth to solve earth’s problems. This is the ultimate cure, by understanding Yin and Yang.

识得阴阳玄妙理，知其衰旺生与死， 不问坐山与来水，但逢死气皆无取；

Once you know the wonderful profound of reasoning, you will know the good, bad and ugly of any outcome. You will not talk about the mountain, veins, meridian spot, owing water, embracing water or the green dragon, white tiger, red phoenix and the black tortoise because you already know the land does not contain the good Qi for a given person.

先天罗经十二支，后天再用干与维， 八干四维辅支位，子母公孙同此推； The early heaven only uses the 12 earths. The later heaven uses the stem and the 4 guas to accommodate the missing sectors of the remaining empty spaces. And this can be used to apply to any person, be it young, old and even baby.

And the 5 elements are being placed in a strategic locations, and the missing portion is the facing. If only you can understand the Yin and Yang of this 24 mountains, you can nd a person’s burial ground and the property of any person.

阳从左边团团转，阴从右路转相通， 有人识得阴阳者，何愁大地不相逢； The Yang pillars are moving on the left, and the Yin pillars are rotated on the right. When you know t he Yin Yang interpretations, you will then know why nature plays an important role in a person’s destiny. • • •

The Heaven is the Yang, and Earth is the Yin. The Heaven is the Qi, and the Earth mother nature. Without Heaven, there will be no Earth.

Now this is the problem that most people experienced: The text said 24 mountains, and so we always thought that there are 24 different mountains. They are in fact saying that there are ‘20 Qi sitting on 4 different mountains’. That’s why they said 24. In Chinese text, 20 & 4 are different characters. These 24 mountains are all derived from the 60甲子. And 60 甲子 is also 60 Heaven and Earth. And make up the 60 sets of Heaven and Earth. The book of Burial mentioned all the Heaven and earth that are all within the 60 cycles of 60 甲子. On a closing note, if you think hard enough, you will discover your own feng shui. Please do not give up. Hope is the one thing that gives us the little push in our everyday life! You will always have my blessings…
