This will take more than ten or twenty years. <BR/><BR/>I was thinking that most Feng Shui masters have been brainwashed that yinzhai feng shui is responsible for the prosperity of the descendants. They will not take the risk to be cremated after their death.<BR/><BR/>JYJoseph Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028797882338249408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189927003438800028.post-37733426347672040462008-08-29T19:02:00.000-07:002008-08-29T19:02:00.000-07:00I am sorry but the thought of you leaving us makes...I am sorry but the thought of you leaving us makes me very sad.

It is not an art to make the living prosperous without effort and hard work.<BR/><BR/>JYJoseph Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028797882338249408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189927003438800028.post-16984802343273960912008-08-28T16:33:00.000-07:002008-08-28T16:33:00.000-07:00Thank you, Joseph.

To me, since he had to be buried in a sealed casket, it seemed that even if the yin feng shui really mattered, it would take a couple hundred years for decomposition...so what's the point? A beautiful ceremony at sea, or on a Kentucky mountaintop is enough to show respect for those we love, and isn't that what it's all about anyway?Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185323281016332554noreply@blogger.com
