Question: It is generally said that in order to have good feng shui, a mirror should be hung at the entrance of the house, there should be green plants on the left side of the house, two swords should be hung above the master's bed, and wind chimes should be hung in the walkway. Is this true?
Master: (1) Mirror means clear, clear the body and leave the house without taking any property, be swept out of the house, being so poor with nothing. A mirror means brightness, which enables one to understand things, accept one's fate and be content, without greed or demand. Most ignorant people believe in heresy and think that if they set up a demon-spotting mirror, evil spirits will not dare to invade. If you have this thought in your mind, the evil spirit has already entered your body! (2) Green plants are just decorations. (3) The sword of wisdom cuts the threads of love and should not be messy. The two swords mean that the man and the woman each hold one. If you don't hang it up, the evil spirits will not come; once you hang it up, the evil spirits will fight with you. Who will win and who will lose is unknown. (4) Wind chimes, withering. It means that his family is in decline, getting worse day by day and slowly dying out.
In short, the good or bad feng shui depends on one's heart. If one has a good heart and is upright, then everything will be good, even the bad will become good; if one has an evil heart, then everything will be bad, even the good will become bad.
Therefore, Buddha said: "Everything is created by the mind." Ancient people also said: "Everyone says that the dragon's lair is in the mountains, but who knows that the lair is in a square inch." The charlatans make specious arguments, create incorrect theories, and deceive ignorant men and women. How pitiful! Pitiful!
Question: Is it necessary to choose an auspicious day and a certain location to install a Bodhisattva statue?
Master: No need to choose a date or location. The position of the Bodhisattva statue should be higher than the upper body of the adult. Choosing a day and a location are the thoughts of demons and ghosts.
