The Great Bell Chant:
(May your heart be awakened by the Great Bell Chant. And may all living things transcend the path of sorrow and death.)
May the sound of this bell penetrate deep into the Cosmos...Even in the darkest spots, living beings are able to hear it clearly so that all suffering in them cease. Understanding comes to their heart and they transcend the path of sorrow and death...
The universal Dharma door is already open. The sound of the rising tide is heard clearly. The miracle happens; a beautiful child appears in the heart of a lotus flower. One single drop of this compassionate water is enough to bring back the refreshing spring to our mountains.
Listening to the bell, I feel the afflictions in me begin to dissolve. My mind calms, my body relaxes. A smile is born on my lips. Following the sound of the bell, my breath brings me back to the safe island of mindfulness. In the garden of my heart, the flowers of peace bloom beautifully.

But if you can locate the center palace based on your floor plan then you can use a compass to measure your main door facing at the center palace. This is one of the method you can engage in DIY Feng Shui but subject to variation. Please keep the South-West sector clean and neat to avoid agitating flying star 2. No plants outside your main door if it is facing South-West and keep door closed at all time. And absolutely no red, pink, purple, yellow and brown color decoration at the main door.

Basic Knowledge of Feng Shui
- Interior: Toilet or rest room cannot be located in the center of your house. Use your floor plan provided as reference. The energy at the center palace has a greater impact on the eight sectors surrounding it.
- Exterior: Main door or window should not face any overhead bridge directly. If you are staying on upper floor then it should be fine.
- Exterior: Avoid houses that are too near to religious buildings, government buildings, fire stations, police stations etc. A diameter of more than 10 meters should be fine. These structures tends to absorb auspicious energy within a certain diameter. Thus, draining the auspicious energy, if any, from your house.
- Exterior: Avoid landed property or HDB whereby the main door of the house is facing road or car park that brings head on traffic especially at night when the headlight of vehicles shine right onto your door or through your window.
- Exterior: Avoid houses that are sandwiched by tall structures besides or at the front & back of the house. Many public housing failed this aspect
- Interior: The stove should never face the toilet directly, a big taboo in Feng Shui.
- Interior: Avoid sleeping in a position or bed position whereby your head is resting directly against the window. Accumulation of energy is compromised and affecting your rest.
- Interior: Mirror directly facing your bed or you, while sleeping, is also a big taboo in Feng Shui. There are many sayings but our institution regards mirror as an object that attracts ener ingy from the opposite direction.
- Exterior: Always keep the exterior of your main door clean and neat to prevent agitating the auspicious or inauspicious stars. Avoid any obstruction or shoe cabinet outside.
- Exterior: Reservoir & pond are consider "Still Water" not "Moving Water". Hence, still water can cure Star 6 & 7. "Moving Water" activate the Water Star. Hence, know your Feng Shui Chart before making any decision to purchase house facing reservoir and pond. River and canal are sometime considered as "Moving Water".
- Exterior: HDB housing with garbage facility located directly at the front and center position of the block with lift lobby behind it has the potential to generate inauspicious energy as the building facing is already inauspicious. If all unit doors of the block are front facing the back of the garbage facility then the unit door facing will be compromised.
- Exterior: Building, house, shops etc. located at T-junction with head-on traffic is very inauspicious and a taboo in feng shui.
- Exterior: All exterior sharp corners, edges & objects are considered "Fire" element by our institution. Hence, any of these sharp objects pointing to your main door or window has to be cured if "Fire" element is not required.
- Interior: Stove favor "fire gate" and works well with star 1, 3, 4, 8 & 9. Worst case scenario if the stove pair with Star 2 or Star 5.
- Interior: Bed position should not directly face the room door. However, if you need to use that sector then use a curtain in between the door and your bed to minimize impact.
- Interior: Bomb shelter is regardless as a "Ying" area as sunlight is unable to reach in most case.
