| Professor Lin Yun |
In honor of my Feng Shui teacher, Master Lin Yun, I place his likeness on this page with the intent of showing my respect and gratitude. Professor Lin has brought his brand of Feng Shui to many, many students in America and throughout the world, and has propagated only goodness and compassion wherever he went. His teachings were profound, his sacrifice was large and his heart was simple. For the knowledge I have gained and for the joy I have experienced from my practice, I offer my sincerest thanks. Revered Professor, may the 10,000 Buddhas guide you and protect you wherever you are.
OM MANE PADME HUM

As with any big holiday, Chinese New Year comes replete with plenty of
rituals that help appease the Year God, and herald good luck and
auspicious events for the next 12 months. The celebration goes on for
15 days, with each day requiring a different offering, gesture or ritual.
The date for Chinese New Year is decided astrologically, which means that
right now the planets are piqued for good things to come our way. If we ask. And a new way you can do that today is by doing a few simple things in your home.
1.) The best thing to do is clean the house or apartment. Or last least straighten up real good and give your space of sense of freshness. The use of water for the purpose is good. If you don't mop anywhere else, at least mop the kitchen floor. Avoid chemicals in the water; instead toss in pure oil extracts or liquid castile soap. 2.) Give red envelopes with a coin or paper money inside to 3 or 9 people.* This symbolizes wealth and is an auspicious gesture for the recipient and the giver. 3.) On your altar place 4.)cooked rice to which you can add salt and oil, and two other items such as fruit and nuts. 5.) Light a candle. 6.) Light incense. 7.) Place a glass of water on the altar. 8.) Open windows and doors to let out the old energy and bring in the new. 9.) Create your intention from a quiet, restful place in your heart and mind.
[*I pledge to give 9 red envelopes to the Lin Yun Temple in order that the knowledge I shared today will have an auspicious bearing the author and the reader.]
