Consideration of Feng Shui is a heritage
science and knowledge of Chinese people who have learned and practiced for thousands
of years. Feng Shui considers good location and brings good luck to those living
in such area. Not only the nature and the environment, Feng Shui also involves
the beliefs, customs, cultures, and religions such as the Taoism and Confucianism.
When Buddhism spread to China, the Mahayana Buddhism is also based on the knowledge
of Feng Shui. Mahayana Buddhism clearly separates the Heaven, the Earth, and
the Hell. There is the Lord Buddha, the divines of Gods. Beliefs in mightiness
and miracles were well combined with the already existing belief of Chinese
people. The Mahayana Buddhism then could quickly spread into the Chinese society
and has become the customs that has also been part of the Feng Shuis body of
knowledge.

of wind blows), and auspices, which can be briefly summarized below.
