This day was dedicated to Yin Feng Shui – Feng Shui for graveyards. This is an important aspect of Feng Shui as the modern Yang style of Feng Shui for residences actually originated from the Yin style of Feng Shui. The knowledge that we currently have of Yin Feng Shui is credited to Master Guo Pu, who wrote the “Book of Burying the Dead” during the Jin Dynasty.
For this exercise, a tour to the Nirvana Memorial Park in Semenyih was arranged. Once there, we had the opportunity to check out the mountain embrace and how it was used to select a proper burial site. In this instance, the direction of the tombstone is the most important aspect in relation to land forms regardless of the Ming Gua of the deceased or the flying star charts.
Many unique tombs, including the singing tomb of a songstress in the 1950s, were examined. The students were also pointed out the direction of the water flow and the water outlet - very important aspects of Feng Shui covered in the Advanced Course.
