Lunar New Year is the longest holiday of the year, so many people turn to entertainment and leisure activities for fun. It is also a time when many people seek out good luck and fortune for the year ahead. However, our ancestors warned that, even during leisure time, one should avoid these three places, as they can deplete one’s blessings and affect their fortune.
Gambling and Games of Chance
Many people are fascinated by gambling, believing that luck in a game of chance can predict their happiness for the entire year. However, our elders advise against visiting such places, as they can deplete one’s fortune.
Gambling involves high stakes and intense competition, which can deplete one’s blessings and lead to misfortune. According to the elders, gambling erodes wealth and leads to sin and error. Therefore, it is best to avoid gambling during the new year and refrain from participating in games of chance. Some believe that winning a few hands at the start of the year can bring good luck for the rest of it. But, from a feng shui perspective, these winnings do not represent true wealth or prosperity because they are gained through another’s loss rather than through the creation of value or production of goods.
Brothels and Places of Indecent Pleasure
Men are more prone to indulging in these vices than women. Partaking in such pleasures can damage family happiness and deplete the blessings of future generations. Engaging in indecent acts is considered a sin that leads to damnation. Visiting brothels and indulging in carnal pleasures can diminish one’s virtue, leading to contempt from children and family breakdown. Moreover, those who frequent such places often face an unfortunate later life due to their inability to cherish themselves and others. Indulging in carnal pleasures depletes one’s vital energy and can lead to deceitful and desinous behavior. Thus, engaging in such acts simultaneously incurs multiple transgressions, severely depleting one’s blessings and fortune. Therefore, it cannot bring good luck but will, instead, destroy one’s fortune for the entire year.
Participate in healthy and traditional folk games instead.
Gatherings Where Gossip and Slander Are Spoken
While it is natural to gather and chat during the new year, one should avoid large gatherings where gossip and slander about others are spread. Speaking ill of others and engaging in malicious gossip will deplete one’s blessings. Such places generate negative energy, leading to misunderstandings and conflicts, as well as spreading false rumors. Words can be weapons, and those who engage in slander create harm for themselves and others.
Therefore, when visiting during the new year, one should offer kind words and well-wishes, avoiding hurtful speech and malicious gossip. Doing so will bring blessings and good fortune.
In life, creating good feng shui is not just about carrying amulets or displaying feng shui items in the home. It is also about cultivating a peaceful mind, staying away from troublesome places, practicing self-discipline, improving one’s character, and increasing one’s knowledge and wisdom. By doing so, one can achieve good feng shui, improve their fortune, and attain success.
Where Should One Go During the New Year to Attract Good Fortune and Relaxation?
The new year is a time to visit places that bring positive energy and blessings. Some recommended places to visit include temples and pagodas, where one can offer incense and pray for blessings, as well as enjoy the peaceful surroundings and natural landscapes. It is also beneficial to engage in charitable activities and visit healthy festivals, participate in wholesome entertainment, and spend time with family, friends, and colleagues.
During the new year, one should avoid places characterized by greed and superstition, as well as those that involve the killing of living beings.
