Fortune Telling

[RayCom]

Bro kinder bueno, me and my wife has been trying very hard to have a baby . Our dateline is almost out as she is turning 45 next year. I fear it may be some of the things which we overlook spirituality or other reasons which we have no control over. I chanced upon this thread and read about your post. Am quite impressed about the way you help people. I am a Buddhist but not so devoted type. Anyway I need your help but not so convenient to write so much detail in the open forum .hope you can help by going private massage .Thanks

Do you have any highly skilled sifu to recommend me? Must be resident in Singapore.

There were some bros who gave me some contacts of high hands but these masters are all based overseas so not convenient for me to visit them.

The fact that it is the same scenario that appears to you indicates that there is an unresolved issue from your past. What that issue is only you is able to find out as we do not know your past life or relatives. But there are clues in the flashback that keep occurring. Eg the year 1953... it is now 2013 so 1953 was like 60 years ago, which to the Chinese astrology represents 1 generation. So the issue could be related to your previous generation... ie the period of your parents or grandparents. Look for clues in the newspaper report like names, places, familiar landmarks etc. and try connecting these with your ancestry.
The lone surviving traveller companion could be your father or grandfather. Were they the only relations you had from your paternal ancestry.... single sons?

Was your family rich previously? It would be good to do a background check on the family history as to what happened to them?

You may also wish to trace your family name as "clans" in the flashback may not mean your immediate family but the village or town where the same name resides... so it could also the issue was during a civil war period.

That's all I can see at the moment but please keep posting more details when these dreams occur again to you.

Thank you...... you are accurate about my family background which is somewhat complicated. Some of the PMs I had received were quite interesting.

One of them said the mysterious traveller was my father...... which I do not think is accurate as I should be able to recognize my own father.

Another bro said the mysterious traveller was my previous self in another era..... that looks an interesting angle worth exploring but then that bro told me to go and see this abbot in a tibetan temple for further details when I asked for more.

Anyways many thanks to all those bros for all the possible explanations to my dream.

没错。

没错。风水不是万能的。出大问题才来看风水，恐怕是于事无补。

没错。不一定能拖到下一世。福报消尽的时候，麻烦就找上门。

老师看过的例子，大部份是现世报。犯杀业（劝/逼/害人堕胎、钓鱼/打猎、荤肉小贩等等）、贪图牟利（欺诈、吃秤、私吞捐款等等）、口业（恶口、是非、诽谤等等）这些等恶业逃 不掉。以下将叙说两宗业报的案例。

现世报真实案例1（堕胎）：
堕胎（abortion）严重起来，灵婴会纠缠不清。只是一般人不晓得后果。Few years ago, I met an ang-moh za-bo queued next to my lane at East Coast McDonalds in an evening. 老师只瞄了她一眼，and my mind was thinking，“你这个ang-moh 倒大霉，大祸临头了。三个小朋友给你弄死了，跟着你进来讨喝的”。

Just before her turn to make order, I really can't stand, 忍不住对她开口说了一句话...

老师: I knew you are thirsty, you need 4 bottles of mineral water. Right?
Ang-moh: (2 secs later) how did you know I am going to get four?

At that time, I think that ang-moh must be blur. 然后，老师一直保持沉默。当时本想建议她去光明山，后来自己仔细想想不要多事，ang-moh未必相信。

现世报真实案例2（祖上犯杀业）：
An uncle had been selling "char-kway-diao" at Pek Kio for many years and his wife helped to crack cockle (蚶) and chop sotong. Unfortunately, their only precious grandson, 体弱多病，父母因此忙到团团转。

这孩子八字一看，坏了，活不过5岁。 It was so hard for me to break the truth.

我对着孩子的父母说，“你孩子有难了。不如赶快去你家附近的佛寺，向佛菩萨忏悔，风雨不改每日磕头认错谢罪 ”。Parents persistently kept asking why. 老师依然坚守原则，没有说出真相。夫妇半信半疑，始终没把话进去。In less than two years, parents sent their beloved son to Mandai Crematorium.

Imagine, a "char-kway-diao" business, using 1.5kg sotong + 2kg cockle = 3.5kg (cockles and squids) per day.
In one year, minus public holidays and sundays, left approximate 300days for usual business.
300days x 3.5kg = 1050kg in a year.
Therefore, (1050kg/year x 20years) 21000kg cockles and squids used in 20 years "char-kway-diao" business。

阎王爷不留情，孙子活不过5岁。

若一个人累世的业没消，加上今世造恶业，到点的时候，地府衙差很快来勾魂。不一定是老人先走，少过50岁甚 至更年轻mati的很多。有的时候，今世累积的福德得拖到下一世。能不能拖延到下一世，或者能不能享受福报 ，全是上天安排。

Master will help some who is really in bad situations because they charge other higher. They must do gong de also. Find a master who can help, spend one time better than many times. Good luck, just sharing some experience.

一种米养百种人。各式各样的人都有。

有些师傅不收钱的（少见难遇）。师傅要帮人，或许会暗中帮一把。过关没事之后，却没意识师傅/仙佛帮忙，以为自己lucky。

真正为仙佛菩萨办事，不会敛财。

老师常在其他forum解答'怀孕'课题。

在命理或多或少多能知道一个人能不能有孩子。知道真相又有道德的命理师，应该不太要说。说出真相，命理师或 许反遭天谴，对夫妇带来伤感。若命理师讲骗话要负责背业，到时会害夫妇空欢喜一场。 实在是左右为难。

不论是否是女性妇科还是男性生育问题，没怀孕/孩子必有原因。

基本上归纳三种：
1. 妻子流产（abortion/miscarriage（意外/包括IVF））后的首尾。尤其是夫妻两人注定有一个孩子，而妻子（年轻/未婚之前）曾经堕胎。很抱歉上天不会眷顾。
2. 丈夫曾经有逼/劝女性（老婆/朋友）堕胎。
3. 祖上（公嫲、父母）犯杀业（如：钓鱼、打猎、当荤肉小贩、屠宰牲畜等等）。

要是有以上任何一点，得必须彻底解决。如果不处理的话，怀孕将一直有困难。这就是为什么有unsucces sful IVF, miscarriage, 妇科病等不寻常状况一直重复。

若没有以上三点，得努力把阻碍搬开（消业）之后，求子愿望便会顺利。一对夫妇能不能怀孕，不完全看外围影响 （age, production system and etc）。被业力蒙住，是潜在的不孕因素所导致。

老师谢谢您的回复。 最近我们ivf fail. 我以前小时候喜欢打鸟钓鱼。十年前接触佛法，以经戒了杀生。还归依了。不过有时还梦见钓鱼。还好醒来发现是 梦。
嘛烦老师尽快连系。可否告知您那个网站？ 我们时间不多了。请见谅。谢谢

Many gods and buddha has turn to human world to help, peoples are choosen to do the job, end up only left 2 types of peoples.

1. Knowing they are appointed as messanger and not willing to do and help.

2. Knowing they are appointed and accept the job, earning big money. Some use for charity, some keep for own use.

Many peoples with such power are around us, it is only whether we are lucky to meet them.

A lot peoples has attracted or offenced the spirits around us, cause alot do not believe we are staying in 3 dimension, Gods, humans and souls. If we want peoples to understand and prevent future mistakes, they will rather pay money to get things done. Gods and buddhas do not need money, humans need most. It is whether money is with the correct person, they will give back to the society.

I have understand that buddist teaching is to help everyone, but how many can follows. Fortune telling and feng shui is a temporaily solutions, If everyone can get a good master, they will be rich and happy forever. But can master not affected by wealth and do long term and predict accurately, i have yet to come across.

So if you have a good master to advice you in life, hope you can cherish the good time. My few master is accurate in counting life and also helping peoples out of bad times. What happen to them, being forgotten after the person gets better. My thai master help so many peoples when i bring over to singapore, trying to built his temple. After peoples get rich, no donations was done. I feel bad about it, i donated my saving to help him build temple. Only can help out 60%, his temple has no development for the last 3 years. If i set a minimum donations for peoples who wanted to see him, i think the temple is completed 3 years back.

Money can change a person to think evil, but also can change the life of another person to be better. We are in the 21 century, if building a temple like ancient time, build anywhere we like, i think the master do not charge anymore.

Temple is the home for gods and buddhas, people who build temple is to spread the religion. Which temple do not need water and electricity or pay bills? A master job is to keep the temple open everyday, giving devotees a place to learn religion.

I believe in order to get better life, we must learn from our mistakes previously and never repeat again. Helping others might change our life one day, we never know who we are helping. If we having a bad time now, there are still peoples who has worst scenerio that you. If you can pull through the bad times and help peoples around you( e.g. helping people crossing road, do voluntery work), your life will change one day. I heard peoples say where got mood to do, remember the time when you are good, people ask you to help out, you will say you are too busy. Sinc now you having a hard time or free time, go help others less fortunate.

For your info, i know there are many rich peoples who will go and help those more unfortunate peoples. They are rich, too much free time, maybe your gui ren is there. Think positive, unless you cannot think straight then you look for a master. Prepare to spend money.

I have been following this thread on the side. And actually resisted posting any comments and rather keep a low profile. But I feel I should share my experience.

I have been experiencing bad fortune for a number of years. More so after my parents passed away because I was feeding on their luck. Looking back I can only blame myself for being willful, stubborn and to a certain extent lustful. Everything I had a hand in failed. Marriage, business and job you name it and I failed it.

Then I chanced upon this thread and had the kind guidance of Bro Kinderbueno who of course gave me a earful before guiding me out of this difficult times. For that I am truly thankful to Bro Kinderbueno whom I regard as my teacher.

4 months ago I started chanting sutras, repented all my sins over and over again, continued to stay away from women of all sorts (it's one year now), go vegetarian at every opportunity, go to temples and read sutras with the other devotees, release animals, donate, do volunteer work, swear off beef, totally don't use bad language, be forgiving, be friendly and kind to anyone even strangers, don't lose temper, stay away from bad thoughts and hatred and have a 100% faith in Buddhism. It was a very difficult time and I have to 自救！No one else could help me. I was also inspired by the story of 了凡四训。

Now, four months later things have improved drastically for me. I have found a job that pays alright, and I am also in a relationship with a wonderful girl (I have vowed that I will wait till we are married before we consummate) and I have let go of all my baggage and hatred. I am so much happier now!

The method that Bro Kinderbueno preaches is very strict and requires a very high degree of discipline. Not many people can learn and practice. But believe me those who are in distress. Just have the right attitude when praying and be truly repentant. Do what you promise Buddha and Bodhisattva. Have faith and be truly sorry and really sincere. 天无绝人之路！断恶修善，消灾福来！

I have also learned that every merit that I have done I 回向众生 and to many more including 冤亲债主！Nothing for myself.

I sincerely pray that all will 离苦得乐和永离三恶道！

Hi Bro Mustachio,

I glad to hear your life changes, but releasing animal has been a questions to me. I do it last time and understand we are might be wrong. Firstly, people go catch live animals, we buy and release, they make money and catch more. Using our kindness to make money, without us they cannot survive.

The correct way should ask them stop making use animals to make money. Releasing animal in acient time is because people catch alot of animal to make money by selling. By releasing them is to cut their income and sins, that is merit. How many peoples will release and cut their income? Now we buy from them will let them earn money and start to catch more. I don't think we will go catch ourselve and release them. If we stop them making money, soon they will stop catching the innocent animals.

I have read many buddism book, i also notice alot peoples read and get the wrong meaning. After so many years, the book has been rewrite by many others, i notice some facts has been change. I hope some master can clear some doubts for me. Buddha has done many things that human is unable to overcome, even master also unable to reach the stage. Alot is on emotional control, how buddha can face so many types of peoples with different character, he still can control, be neutral and advice them. We come across many peoples in our life, if we can be neutral to everyone, i think it will be the best. I am able to tolerate many peoples, but still come across people who can still spoil my mood. I will not argue or talk back to unreasonable peoples, but how come i feel bad after i ignored them. If it is buddha, i believe he will talk to him and change him.

You seems very wise in your endeaver of buddhism. People misinterpret the sutra because they fall into the trap of 文字魔。It is the true meaning of buddhism that are important not the words on any book.

You feel bad with unreasonable people even though you did not reply to them is because you are wiser than you though. If there is no feelings at all, you are merely a stone and nothing else. If the thought weights so heavily on you that you have to respond, you will be like us a common human.

凡事不要执着，顺其自然就好了。不要不在乎固执的人，有时候一念之差就能悟道。

Thanks bro hoho99, I merely want to learn more as i find buddhism has very long history and notice a lot of discovery of the universe has be uncovered by buddha before any scientist start to work on. Nowadays scientist is using lighting years, how human come to this world, etc.

I believe everyone learn certain knowledge about buddism, i hope to learn more. You learn and practice, then you use it to help others. Sutra can help to clean evil spell, merit to the death, blessing to the living. If you want to enlighten another person, have to enlighten yourself first.

I do not want to be a blind follower of buddism, my previous encounter in life has change me a lot. With religion believe, i learn to self control. I have listen to many masters teaching, some is right but also there is different view. Followers tell me to just follow the teaching of the master. If we cannot tell the different, we will practice wrongly.

Hope we can share more here.

The path that you have found for yourself may not be suitable for others. I myself have gone in search of Masters of the various religions and many of them dispense wise and meaningful advices...... however what pissed me off and made me turn my back on them is the incessant demands for donations. It seems that almost everyone of them wants to have a Grand Temple to make their religion popular and famous...... so please DONATE to our temple building funds. I do not mind giving but to be reminded at every prayer session is like begging which turns me off.

I find that I am more comfortable with those Masters who are simple and low profile type...... but they are also wise and enlightened beings who can give very meaningful insights into our problems too. And they do not ask for any rewards or donations but telling us to help the poor or needy if we can.

In finality which Master that one gets to meet is pre-destined and I say use your gut feeling to know whether to accept his teachings. To each his own destiny.... no path is the same for everyone.

Hi the milk man, I have gone through what you have encounter. I do understand the master too. Utilities bill, worker salary, expenses is due. As a master, he will open his mouth to ask for donations. The donations is insufficent so he has to settle the problem.

If you know the master well, he will tell you before he goes up the stage that the temple committes just tell him there is shortage of funds. These temple issue i understand as they lack of big supporters. If you look into a temple monthly expenses, you will not believe the figure before they have spare funds to build temple. Ju Si Lin has been doing it for many years, right now you go take a look, they have downsize on the daily free meals.

A good master also have high and low time like others, he job is operate the temple to keep it functions. Sometime you see temple celebration is grand sometime simple. Don't you think that it is better to help a good master to maintain his temple than you donate to a temple who master is a operator.

My view might be different, but we have to think deep into others situations. You think the good master not pai say to ask for donations. As many say good master do not look into money, but most peoples have problem with money, without money wife run, parents sick and childrens education fees. All this problem you ask master to help, when master need help, we give him a negative marks. Even a small token from every followers can solve his problem and i believe many peoples without big problem they would not bother to look for master.

Master is everyone last resort. Master don't give you money but can give you solutions. At least he is more clear mind than many peoples, that is why we call them master.

If today buddha say he want to build a temple, rich peoples will give money, poor peoples will build the temple. A lot just judging how much he can get, if you know buddha can enlighten you in everything with his wisdom, i believe he will be happy whatever donation you make, be it is a gold or stone, it is the matter of heart that buddism is teaching. Mercy.

I hope my sharing does not offence anyone here, if i have offenced you, i am sorry.

Wah you may be more enlighten than i though.

Unfotunatelly, Buddism like any other religion have different sect due to the many difference in understanding the sutra and 修行 methods.

With my limited knowledge, i seems to be more interested in zen. Am still looking for a master who can guide me to enlightment as well. 领悟前，师父渡你。领悟后自己渡自己。
