You Reap what you Sow

An Korean ancient story to share.

A monk went to a very far place to learn feng shui. After he acquired all the skills and on his way back, he passed by a field where he saw a young man mourning on his father who had just passed away.

The monk was feeling tired and very hungry after walking for the entire morning. It was lunch time and he had got nothing to eat. The young men saw that the monk was pale and immediately offered him his entire lunch box.

After filling up his tummy, the monk was very grateful to the young man. To repay the kindness, the monk offered to help the man to locate an auspicious burial site to bury his father's body.

The young man was elated and on that very night, they found a good spot to bury the corpse. The monk told the man that within 3 days, he would marry a wife and in 3 years time, he would become very rich.

The prophecy never came true. The monk went back to check the site and discovered that none of the descendants was alive to look after the grave and in fact the family line had become extinct. The monk thought that he had mis-selected the site.

Just when he was about to destroy the luo pan and quit his profession as a feng shui master, a sage appeared in front of him.

The sage said "Don't destroy your luo pan. You have selected the correct site. However, the grave could not manifest its auspiciousness to the decendants because the person who is buried here committed 3 homicides when he was alive."

The above is an illustration of karma at play.

But please do not use this as an convenient excuse if you, due to your incompetence, screw up people's feng shui.

I know some bogus masters do.

Thank you.
