2WEAR A POWERFUL AMULET THROUGH THE MONTH OF AUGUST
In addition to carrying Mirror Amulets in your handbag this month, try also to wear a powerful seed syllable amulet to stay protected from spirit harm. Seed Syllables like BHRUM, TAM, BAM and HUM carry the vital energy essence of the Buddhas, and they are recognized and respected by all the eight classes of spirit beings, and feared by the spirits of the underworld! Te Kalachakra Syllable is an amalgamation of 10 powerful seed syllables stacked inside a single syllable! Seed Syllable Amulets are most powerful when made from Gold or Silver and enhanced with a precious stone like diamonds, rubies or jade. Gold and silver are the two precious metals that channel the solar and lunar chi energies that are especially protective. By wearing them touching your skin, it acts like an invisible protective shield.
As an act of generosity, and a means to appease them, it is an act of kindness for us to offer incense to them daily during the Hungry Ghost month. When you offer incense, be sure to first offer them to
all the enlightened cosmic beings such as Shakyamuni Buddha and Avalokiteshvara, as well as the Dharma Protectors like the 4 Heavenly kings. Tis is vital as it invokes their presence to keep you protected; this also blesses your incense offering. When you offer to cosmic enlightened beings, they appear in your space instantly bringing with them an entire entourage of powerful protectors who will guard against any spirits who might have mischievous intent. To those of you who know how, it is excellent to read
the Heart Sutra or recite the mantra of Avalokiteshvara OM MANI PADME HUM 108 times after offering the incense.
4OBSERVE THE TABOOS during HUNGRY GHOSTS MONTH
Traditionally, the Chinese observe all the rituals and taboos of the Hungry Ghost Month to the letter, simply because the probability of accidents and mishaps increase exponentially this month. Our advice is simply not to tempt fate and be mindful of where you go. Here are some taboos to observe during the month of August. Be mindful and the month should go smoothly for you!
3INCENSE RITUALS TO APPEASE HUNGRY GHOSTS
Te Hungry Ghost month is a brilliant opportunity to create extensive Cosmic Merit derived from appeasing billions of spirits with incense offerings. Just one single stick of incense goes a long way towards pacifying millions of hungry souls and all prayers conducted this month gets multiplied significantly! Generate an attitude of compassion and generosity
towards these poor “hungry ghosts”! Te karma that propels one to be born as a hungry ghost is the attitude of selfishness, miserliness and stinginess practised in their previous lives; this is the cause for them to have been stuck in a state of what we call the Bardo and as ghosts they are too weak to ingest food or water. Tey are in a perpetual desperate state of hunger and thirst and so they are suffering souls. In most cases they can be too weak from hunger to do much mischief but even so what little they do can cause colossal harm in our world.
30 FENGSHUIWORLD | JULY / AUGUST 2013
• Do not stay out late or travel at night. Wandering spirits come out at night as soon as the sun begins to set. During this month, it is important to wear at least one powerful amulet and also carry the NIGHT SAFETY AMULET which has the image of the ghost catcher Chung Kwei embossed on it. Just having his image near you is often enough to scare away the weaker classes of mischief-making spirits; nevertheless it is still a good idea to avoid being out late! Do not travel outstation at night or drive home at 3am in the morning! Extremely foolish to tempt the naughty spirits!
• Avoid Renovation. With the Double 5 in the centre and so many ghosts wandering about, it is not advisable to begin any renovation work this month! All the banging and knocking will cause the spirits to get disturbed. Te workers can fall ill and some kind of huge obstacle is
sure to surface!
