The famous Shaolin monastery is located within a medium sized Ming Tang at the southern foothills of Song Shan mountains. To its east is a smaller Ming Tang where there is a nunnery. To the west is Louyang nested within a very large Ming Tang. All these Ming Tangs have the essential Four Heraldic Beasts physical format with a South facing.

• Under the stars the plainwalker gazed towards the sacred South. From the riverbanks floated the music and dances witnessed by the Eternal. The unseen cosmic qi energy, stirred, tenderly embraced the people, energitising them for the incoming new year. Tokens were taken home to reinforce the cosmic energy.
  Such were the universal ancient cyclic happenings, especially of the new year, whose fantastic life-giving secrets are now lost to modern man. These were fostered by the original highly scientific astrology and Feng Shui, of which modern forms are only deviant pale shadows.

The Elysian Dream
Created by Integrated Astrology, Feng Shui and Rituals
The Ming Tang is necessary for all year round blessings for the home!

This series of articles are a breakthrough, revealing finally the real potent ancient Feng Shui involving interactions between the ill-understood concepts of the Ming Tang and Demon Gate. These concepts will generate the common desires of health, wealth and happiness, but are the types of high Feng Shui and astrology which can produce kings and kingdoms! It is hoped that some will begin a new journey into a science based integrated Feng Shui and astrology and their "Weapons of Immortals" rituals. It is especially hoped that the articles will be very enlightening and beneficial to all.

Here, we will first talk of the Ming Tang.

A lawyer asked me, "How important are Feng Shui and astrology?" Some time ago I would have answered that they are important enough and leave the answer at that. However, after years of research, I realised that more than 75% of our well being highly depends on Feng Shui and astrology! This is also what the ancients knew, that Feng Shui and astrology were highly important to society. This realisation grows as there came more scientific research understanding of the physical nature of that elusive qi energy, also called "cosmic energy".

• Our scientific research shows that the main natural component of qi are negative ions, while sha is made up mostly of positive ions, two thirds of which are dangerously radioactive. Feng Shui and astrology mainly concern the interactions of these negative and positive ions under the influence of landforms and astronomical movements and their interactions. Other physical energies like certain electromagnetic waves may play further roles.

  These physical energies have profound effect on human health and well being. Conventional modern medical science has yet to wake up to the full implications of that cosmic qi energy the ancient sages talked about.

That is, people need Feng Shui and astrology more than they realise!

Certain physical landform will have the best balance of the life giving blessing qi. Certain periods of the year will see the qi in the greatest flux.

The ancients left colourful legends which hint about a complicated but magnificent life-giving science which established the fabulous "Elysian Fields" of the Greeks and "Shangri-La" of the Eastern lore. It was a qi-based science which was practical enough to be adopted day to day to foster brimming health, physical well being, mental power and serenity enabling the creation of the prosperous lively bright people, whose leaders became the "gods and heroes" of the future modern world.

Then, the ancient dreamworld faded away.

• Gilgalad was an elven king
  Of whom the harpers sadly sing.
  The last whose realm was fair and free,
  Between the mountain and the sea. Tolkien

It was not sudden. But, gradually, through the dark ages, man understood less and less of those ancient secrets. Today, we only have glimpses of that ancient Paradise and its godly arts based on Feng Shui and astrology. The loss of the secrets of Feng Shui and astrology is paralleled by a deterioration caused by creeping destruction of the natural world. All that remains are the legends of a bygone "Golden Age".

But, now in GUI Management Centre, we embark on a fascinating journey to rediscover all those wonderful secrets! Respect the ancient legends and the past can allow you to see again its secrets.

• These secrets are those of the stars and the geography of the Earth. The land below the sky was the dancing ground in the midst of the green woods by the running waters. The flowing qi energy was collected and harnessed, resulting in a beautiful happy society. That ancient potent science was delivered through the ancient geomancy art which integrated astrology, Feng Shui and dancing rituals.

  It was in reference to this ancient science that Confucius enigmatically stated, "The people who failed to perform the Rites can be considered as a dead society".

Modern practitioners practise astrology as separated from Feng Shui and vice versa, with little thoughts to the original rituals. The separation resulted in a greatly reduced power of the unseen qi energy often of limited pattering effects.

The high science of the ancient geomancy was reflected in that the ancient geomancers were often the king's astrologers and advisors. The sad stage of deterioration is such that, as someone wrote me, today's practitioners of Feng Shui and astrology can be no better than roadside or village fortune tellers. They can swiftly calculate and produce charts, but of the science and basis of the geomancy they are ignorant. The masses are fooled by quacks and charlatans.

Anyway, let us move on.

The ancient ceremony of life often required a site large enough to comfortably accommodate a multitude! The living cosmic qi energy was meant to be absorbed by a whole people and not a few individuals. Generally, all the leaders must be present. The physical size of the location determines how much qi it can produce:

• If encountered this type of star, go far to look for the hsueh, do not go to high mountain and looking in an enclosed (compact) environment. Han Lung Jing 188

  Big as city and town of the king's state, small as district and area of the lords and dukes. Secondly, in suburbs, and small towns, there are the rich and famous staying in them. Han Lung Jing 8-9 [Ming Tang is very large, not just a small space in front of a door]

More. The ancient texts show that elaborate efforts were made to select and establish a site as the place of worship of God. The chosen place was always the holy sanctuary offering refuge to all come into the sacred ground. Such was the true nature of the ancient Ming Tang.

Without these vital physical features of the Four Heraldic Beasts, the site cannot be used to manipulate the flowing cosmic qi energy to recharge and energitise a whole community of people! It is foolish for many to try to resort to dubious geomancy arts (especially the Xuan Kong schools of Fei Xing, Da Gua and Liu Fa) to overcome the Luan Tuo requirement of the physical features of the Four Heraldic Beasts with its all important ill-understood South facing.

• how to keep and preserve the fake hsueh for long? Present master only come to look for Lung vein, come into these valleys only lowing (bowing) and squatting in vain. Han Lung Jing 509-510

Many produced fake hsuehs for their clients and doomed them. These fake hsuehs are what Yang Yun Sung called "Kung Mang", Death Ground!

Yang Yun Sung wrote a whole book, Han Lung Jing, to describe the Ming Tang. This ancient text is not easy to read. But, in this book, he described the 9 major landforms which form the 9 main types of Ming Tangs. The different Ming Tangs can produce different good results. This is one thing ill-realised and cannot be taught by modern practitioners, that the different physical terrain can produce different end results!

The Ming Tang must have suitable physical features because the qi and sha are real physical energies linked to negative and positive ions. Flowing evaporating water produces negative ions, while winds and faultlines produce positive ions (and also the death giving infrasounds). The qualities of the physical terrain will regulate the balance of negative and positive ions in the site. These invisible ill-understood energies have profund effects on human physical health and mental well being! The balance cannot be tilted to the beneficial negative ions by a wrong physical site.

Thus, study what is the real Ming Tang. Bring back the well watered wooded "Elysian Fields" with their healthy merry making people blessed with perpetual good fortune.
