The Legend Of The Tilted Doors

We detoured a little to Phor Kark See Temple in Bright Hill, to investigate the masterpiece of the late Venerable Grandmaster Hong Choon. The late Ven. Hong Choon needs no introductions. He is claimed to be the FengShui master responsible for the good fortune of Singapore. He was also known to have performed the miracles of castle gate to the fortune of the current grand Hyatt, standing tall in Orchard Road. In his life times, he was also known to be the disciple of the late Grandmaster Tan Yang Wu, a notable SanYuan XuanKong practitioner. However, from this visit, we would like to know is the late Ven. Hong Choon really a XuanKong master who practices the door tilting methodology?
 


We were taken by surprised that even SanHe methods fit the prescriptions. A closer investigation revealed that the temple sit on death and emptiness, in regardless of what the XKDG door tilting suggested. This is true only to the Halls where the Buddha and Bodhisattva are located. Something interesting was found in the otherwise the hall of the patriarch where the ancestral tablet of the late venerable is housed. It conforms to the SanHe structure in entirety with correct water exits. Strange, as water locations were the hall mark of SanYuan, however, why would a SanYuan Grandmaster uses the SanHe method instead? All the door tilting is for gimmicks or for something else?

The method of receiving reverse water was also interesting. With the cascading water and the bright hall to slow down the otherwise direct flow and yet we see no water features around the bright hall. Where is the saying that the Qi will stop at the boundary of water? In lieu of back walls, there are three large tilted doors to receive Qi. Must every back be a Dark Warrior (XuanWu)? Such formations are also similar to the principle of SanFen, SanHe a notable SanHe structure.

Next time around, anyone who wished to sell the XKDG door tilting techniques by quoting the masterpiece of the late venerable as their forte, think again. Better, investigate further.
