我收藏的四个最珍贵的观音——第四座（PART 1: 洪先生与千手观音）

PART 1: 洪先生与千手观音

洪先生并不是我们的新客户。他其实是我们的常客，买了多件增财珍宝。

他就像我们其他忠实客户一样，他亲身体验我们的珍宝所带来的美好结果，然后一次又一次来购买我们各种珍宝，以便倍增财富。其中一件他必买的珍宝是天地连理玉上玉翡翠戒指。

他还带了好些家人和朋友到本馆来买各种珍宝。

第三代天地连理玉上玉翡翠戒指，双龙夺珠。

他说话时声音洪亮。他第一次到我们风水馆来时的言行举止，令我们印象深刻。他洪亮的声音直传到我在二楼的办公室。
 

我问我们的顾问，是谁说话声音那么大。我的属下咯咯地笑他粗鲁，因为他对大家说他是个亿万富翁。他不知道就是最大的富翁也来了我们这里。

我指责我的属下嘲笑客户，要他们很有礼貌的提醒他声音轻些，以免吓走其他顾客。他们是来寻求财富，而不是来炫耀财富的。

我告诉属下，他既然有缘走进我们风水馆，那就表示他已积德积缘，我们应当好好对待他。


在这之前已经有人问过我这个哲学问题，风水是否和因果报应相冲突。


嗯，是也，非也。风水的效应带给人比他应得的积德果报更大。但是，他们必须行善积德才能创造良机，遇上一位可以带来风水效应的大师。

可是，风水并不是他们积德本身，而是必须有人付出代价才能获得。

云龙子旺财馆用来开光的朱砂，便是象征由受福者和祈求风水正能量的师父所付出的无辜珍贵的代价。

有一年，我给中国一间很大（大约一百多公顷）的庙宇看风水。我把原来的整个计划都改变了，把山中龙气引进来。当时，我忘了带自己的朱砂撒入山中土地。

云龙子旺财馆特制朱砂。用最纯的朱砂，配上各种珍贵沉香、檀香、及龙涎香的精华。

这是我的疏忽吗？每一次提及这件事时我都不禁落泪。仿佛我部分灵魂飘散空中。

我只好割指滴血入朱砂中，撒入泥土，求土地神带给那里的山神。这是给当地庙宇和信徒窃取宇宙果报的代价。整整两个星期后我才能开始复原。


有好些人觉得当风水师真好，可以任指他人修改原来的设计，甚少人明白所承担的责任。


正因此，我尤其注重所用的朱砂。这朱砂全由我亲自配制，不假手他人。我从不透露个中奥秘给任何人，以免鲜血的代价落在我身上。

云龙子旺财馆的法宝都由云龙子大师用特别配制的朱砂亲自开光，否则，无效。

第一次遇见洪先生很有戏剧性，印象深刻，随后而来的事就更有戏剧性了。这件事跟我们的檀香千手观音有关。

在各种观音造型之中，千手观音本是最有灵威的。
 

有的人甚至于相信我们家中不宜放千手观音。我不同意这样的说法。我家中的两座千手观音已请来多年，在很短的时间中帮我累积数倍资产。
 

我的这座千手观音最特别之处，不仅在于造型，还在于所用木料。
 

用来制作千手观音的檀香木，产自印度西南沿岸地区。当地多沙土和岩石，檀香木生长极慢，树皮极富于油质。


檀香木发芽后，寄生在一种特别的植物身上。这种植物在当地很多见，所开出来的花又毒又臭，野生动物不敢靠近，并在檀香木的生长过程中，诱导分泌油质。



砍伐做木料的檀香木，树龄都超过八十岁。还需储存起来，让树中油质与空气中的氧气起发酵作用。再过二十年，就像葡萄汁变成佳酿，檀香木中的刺鼻气味变成甜美柔香。


雕刻檀香木时，需十分细心。如刻在错误的一面，日后会出现裂纹。
 

一般人会在表面涂一层透明漆或蜡，以防日后出现裂纹。水上荷风水馆的檀香木珍品都不会这么做。无论油漆或打蜡，都会把甜美的香气封隔起来，而且还阻碍木料呼吸，继续跟氧气起发酵作用。 

正因此，水上荷风水馆的檀香木珍品都不油漆或打蜡。这样虽然看起来不像其它地方的制品闪闪发亮，却显出原木的有机威力。此种檀香木将长生有机，持续发酵，购置家中，也将持续增强其能量。

“如果你有我们旺财馆的檀香珍品，必定觉察到，檀香的香气随时而变。有时浓烈，有时柔弱。我们把这个叫做呼吸。香气浓烈时，或你偶尔看到像我的檀香珍品分泌的油质时，好运就在此。”

自从千手观音请来我们风水馆后，给我们带来了许多生意。有的人还说，他们注意到，在同一排店铺中，只有我们风水馆吸引来特别多的顾客。



因此，当洪先生叫我把檀香观音卖给他时，我拒绝了。他于是反问我，既然是非卖品，为什么上面放了个价目标签？

我一直都遵守对别人和神祇的承诺。我告诉他，我家里还有一个一模一样的檀香观音。如果他真的想买，我可以把家里那个让给他。

洪先生说，他是观音的狂热信徒。他希望我去他的办公室看看，什么位置摆放观音最好。

我因为没能早一点取下观音雕像上的价目标签，以致间接承诺把雕像卖给顾客，随又拒绝，正感到不安，听他这么一说，便答应去他的办公室看看，坐上他的车子，来到一家庞大的工厂。


他告诉我，他想让他的公司上市，不知道这千手观音是不是可以帮他。

我告诉他，如果他把公司设立在这间工厂里，永远都不可能上市。他于是告诉我他在别处有一间新的工厂，还没建好。他要我勘测那间新工厂是不是可以帮他实现愿望。我说那间工厂可以。


他立即叫经纪把他的工厂卖掉，用赚到的钱来建新厂。经纪告诉他，市场正陷低潮，买家很少，他的厂只值一千五百万元。他听了很不高兴。

这时，我注意到他没戴早先从我们风水馆买的沉香珠子。这串珠子可以让他心想事成。他手上戴的是假沉香珠子。我在车上直接告诉他那是假货。


我对他说，洪先生，你难道看不出那是假的吗？你已经从我们这里买了真的沉香珠子，怎么会把这个味道和样子的珠子当真品呢？


突然间，那个富有的月亮小姐的样子出现在我的脑海里。这月亮小姐的故事说来话长，稍后再说。

云龙子旺财馆的沉香正品。

我安慰洪先生说，他的工厂一定会在六个月里卖出，而且价钱将比市场价格高出很多，只要他把千手观音安放在我指定的地方。



我绝没想到他会利用我安慰他的话和预测来拖延付款。他对我的雇员说，你们大师“许诺”，我的工厂将会在六个月内卖出去。如果他说的对，就应该让我先付定金，等到我的工厂卖出之后，拿了钱才付给你们。



我当然相信自己说的话。我一向对自己的许诺小心谨慎，不说空话。有时候，我假定别人都和我一样，不多怀疑。我于是答应让他付了定金，便把千手观音带回去，安放在他的工厂里。


六个月后，洪先生再到我们风水馆来。他告诉我们，他的工厂卖不出，他不要我们的千手观音了。我告诉他，我们不接受顾客带回来的东西，因为我们不卖二手货给客户。

云龙子旺财馆所拥有的千手观音。现在放置在云龙子旺财半条街的总馆，在第2尊观音后面。

洪先生回答说：他不介意我把千手观音烧掉。他不再需要那座观音雕像了，因为他不想付钱。听他这么说，我很生气。

一个斯斯文文的人对别人的恩惠怎么那么不知感恩。一个得到神恩的人怎么对神明那么不知敬畏。我叫他马上离开我的风水馆，我不想再看到他。

他离开了，对我说的话很吃惊。他走到门边时，对我的一个下属说，我怎么敢那样对待他，难道我不知道他是谁，以前做过些什么吗？


他走出去之后，云龙子旺财馆的另一位董事，简先生打开电脑上网查看。洪先生的工厂实际已经出售了。他对我们谎称卖不出。他售出的价钱超过两千万，超出市价五百万。他一售出工厂就定了两部豪车。



可笑的是，我叫他搬离他的工厂，可是他并没有搬离。他向买家租回来用，照旧在原来的工厂运作。
接下来几个月所发生的事情，导致我们跟打官司。简先生建议我们把他告上法庭。



我想了想，同意并授权简先生着手诉讼。
 

我们应该以慈悲与善意待人，但不可以向那些以恶势力或诉讼威胁我们的人屈膝。我们时常得当个光明战士。
如果这是我们该上阵的时候，那就上吧。

My Four Most Precious Guan Yin: the Fourth (Part Five of Five: The Hearing)

Part Five of Five: The Hearing

Genghis Khan of Mongol had the biggest battle in Mongol against the most powerful Khan who is his sworn brother. As the two troops of army were facing each other, suddenly the weather turned. There were great thunderstorm.

Mongolians were very very afraid of thunders. They felt as though the Heaven they worshiped was firing His wrath on them.

Thus when the thunder came, the enemies lay flat down on the ground covering themselves.

But Genghis Khan rode proudly on his horse, as if sent down by Heaven to judge the mortals. Genghis Khan won the war without a fight.

His sworn brother in captive asked him: all mongols are afraid of thunder. Why aren't you ?

Genghis said: "When I was chased down by enemies, there was no where to hide in this vast grass land. And thunder came. The thunder did not harm me. In fact it protected me from the enemies because they don't dare to come out to hunt me when there is thunder. So I know that thunder is not the wrath of Heaven against me."

Imagine when we are hunted down by enemies like Genghis was, and there is a great thunder, we would think it's God punishing us. We have internal guilt as we are not perfect. But the thunder is not to harm us. It makes us strong and courageous. It prepares us for great future challenges that we can win many wars easily because we will be much stronger then.

Let the Lotus Thousand Hands Guan Yin protect you from calamities. This is carved of clear quartz.

So when we face calamities even when we walk on the path of faith, let's call it the thunder sent by Heaven.

The court hearing with Mr Ang is one of the event I would call the thunder sent by Heaven.

I knew the enemies were plotting all around. Many of these enemies were once, my sworn brothers.

They left me no path to walk away, and I just have to walk straight and proud.

Before the hearing, I was advised to speak in a much humbler tone and submissive attitude, to show respect to the judge so that he will be pleased with me, and will be in favor of me.

I looked at the kind advisor and told him, there is only one way I speak and it will be that way I speak in court, in conviction and with deep belief.

I respect the judge, yes of course, for he is the emblem of law of which without, we won't be living in this peaceful and civilized world. And I would trust that even if he does not like me due to what I believe and the kind of attitude I have, he would still grant me a fair judgement. And my trust in him to fulfill his duty would be the greatest respect I have for him.

Lawsuit is something that the Asians are not very fond of. Basically we don't like confrontation. Me too.

Worst, the media would make lots and lots of stories, most of the time nothing to do with the case, but all to do with the people associated with the case. And you know, bad news are always more popular than good news.

For instance, a few years ago, there was an investigation on a abbot who raised money for charity. The aim of the hearing and investigation was supposed to be how responsible was he in using the money entrusted to him. And he was not supposed to be judged innocent or guilty before the verdict was out.

But the media spent a large portion of the story, day in day out, even before the verdict is out, speculating his sexual life and preference.

So when the verdict was out, no one remember what the verdict was. People remembered and giggled, and gossiped  on who he slept with, how many partners he have had.

A media friend admitted to us that the ones who were responsible for writing his story were bitter against him because they felt he always looked down upon them. They cannot wait to avenge him.

So while the judge pass verdict on him legally in the court room, the media pass verdict on him emotionally in the hearts of people. They did it by manipulating on the basal element of people, the sensual, sexual and sensational.

And when the sensual, sexual and sensational sing in loud rocking band, the sensibility of human civility is reduced into quietness.

That is why the Chinese call the reporters "emperors without crown". And we can only pray that the emperors would not turn into tyrant, due to personal bias or due to bribery. Defenseless people could only hope that they do have good judgement and sound conscience. And not like my media friends who avenge on someone just because they think he looked down on them.

But the media people cannot be totally blamed. The survival of the media depends on the patronage of the majority. And majority do prefer the sensual, sexual and sensational.

Mr Kan is most worried, not with the legal battle, but with the media battle. The legal battle is all about right and wrong but the media battle is more than that. And our media friends who were our sworn brothers has fallen out with us.

Mr Kan expressed his concern with me.

I smiled and said: it's a sign. Look at our Thousand Hands Guan Yin, she does not just have one spear, but two long spears, one at each of her hands. She knows we don't have just one battle, but two battles to fight at the same time.

"But it is so difficult to win..." Kan retorted.

"Of course it is," I replied, "so that when we win, you know it's not by human intellect, connections and skills that we win. We have that which is higher, and surpasses human ability that will help us win. And I believe it's a lesson for you, so that when you help clients win their wars, you will have faith that they shall win as well."

One of such Lotus Qi Nan. It's rarity is above all Lotus collections.

I did my due by wearing the very very rare and precious Qi Nan. Qi Nan is the highest and rarest grade of Agarwood. Most of the time I won't put it in my gallery. Only when I find and obtained a new piece of Qi Nan, then would I release the old piece away.

Qi Nan will help to attract benefactor to you. Although most of the time I believe in receiving what you have paid for, sometimes you may need special favor of a great benefactor who can turn things around.

At this instance, no amount of hard work or money I put in can make the media like me or speak in favor of me.

Mr Kan even think that my act of inviting all the media people to the hearing is like a kamikaze. I was just trusting my instinct.

Qi Nan has a way of entering into the depth of your subconscious and activate the part of your brain that you have not utilized.

A lot of people call me brilliant after things happen in my favor. Some think I am just plain lucky. I just trust my instinct. Especially when I am wearing my Qi Nan. And things always turn out right.

Maybe that's how luck works.

I was more or less sure I will win in the court, although even the best lawyer can guarantee nothing of this sort. But I was also not sure about the media war.

So I did my meditation in front of the Thousand Hands Guan Yin. I placed the Imperial White Inkstone in front of her and asked her for the direction as I ground the red vermillion stick onto the White Inkstone.

Mr Kan was more diligent than me. He did that meditation every other hour and I began to laugh at him.

We spoke about the Imperial White Inkstone in PART 3. It is back again.

Just as I was laughing, an idea came to me. I told Kan, let us not play defensive in the media war. Let us be more proactive. Since we cannot avoid being seen by the reporters walking out of the high court and stop them from writing about us, let us just invite all of them for the hearing. And I am going to put on my most formal and traditional gown which I use only on most important occasion.

Besides, I perform the ceremony of the rutilated quartz to enhance fame and reputation.

And so the hearing began.

Calmness came upon me like a thick and warm blanket. I felt as though the world has stopped moving. I can hear everything so clearly. I felt even a little trickle of humour within me. I almost felt like poking fun of the lawyer who cross examined me with his unfruitful questioning using  different permutations of sentence structures. Of course I did not. I was conscious that I do need to look serious and behave in the  most respectful manner. I got a bit surprise that I do in fact, quite enjoy the cross examination session.

As expected, the camera man waited for me as I walked out. I allowed them to take photograph of me as I walked out of the high court. The breeze was Heaven sent. It blew my gown up a little. The next day when I appeared on newspaper, my clients said I looked like I descended from Heaven.

A few clients strike 4d lottery. With different inspiration they each received. One bought the number 1000. Another bought the number 9980. Mr Kan asked him why he bought 9980. He said it's one Thousand Hands Guan Yin and Mr Ang said there were two fingers broken. One thousand minus two is 998. Oh! So how come there is a "0" behind the 998? Well! Because it cannot be broken. If they were broken when he bought it, why should he pay for more than half a million for it? Good inspiration coupled with good logic!

And another bought the amount of the Guan Yin price and won as well.

My clients told Mr Kan that Lotus on Water never stop giving wealth inspiration even during a court hearing.

I am glad that so many people have received something good out of this event. They must possess the same positive faith with us. Their spirit was in line with us.

One thing is sure for Lotus on Water: we never had received such great publicity before. We were all over different newspapers.

The two long spears right in front of the sandalwood Guan Yin have helped us to win a double war -- the legal war and the media war. The thousand hands behind her has helped to stretch and brings many blessings to those whose energy and spirit are in line with us.

Before Mr Ang was cross examined, he looked pompous and full of confidence when he walked in. I smiled at him, he sneered at me.

Just fifteen minutes into the cross examination, he began to make mistakes. He said something and he contradicted himself straightaway, he forgot his own story and his own claim, finally he refused to answer questions straight, he just gave his own statements that has nothing to do with the cross examination questions. At last realizing himself that there were too many self contradiction, he kept quiet and stopped answering questions.

The judge started from demanding for straight forward answers to getting angry and interrupting him to reprimanding him. At last even the judge kept quiet and just glared at him.

As I sat there watching his performance, my heart went from getting surprise with his clowning to feeling shy for him. At last I even felt pitiful for him for he has got to be the only person to face this.

There is no one to help him. None of his friends and gangs could go up to answer questions on his behalf. This is one of those time you have to face it all on your own, like facing the judgement of your karma. He has always claimed that he is a devout believer. He could have called out to Guan Yin for help. But how would his Thousand Hands Guan Yin help him since he claimed that two fingers were broken?

While I was thinking, I looked side way and saw Mr Kan turning and touching his Double Dragon jadeite ring round and round his last finger. Mr Kan never failed to spend his youthful energy fighting against the Lotus enemy.

When Mr Ang walked down. He still tried walking in big strides. And his photo was taken too. His photo was taken too. But at a dramatic expression of mouth wide open, one eye close and one palm stretched out. As if yelling willfully.

Apparently he has changed his name. Nobody would know who he was by hearing his name. But when his look was exposed, all who had past acquaintance with him knew who he was. People gossiped to each other about his past, about how he made his money.

He ought to lose, since he was telling lies he thought no one can find out. Yet he thought people would forget his past which he thought changing his name would solve? How could he ever appear honest again to his shareholders if he wanted to start his life afresh and get his company listed?

How could he have lost so much? If he was still wearing the Agarwood beads he bought from us when he was in his good gracious state.

Then I recalled him changing to fake beads. And I remember people like Ms Moon.

I would never understand why a rich billionaire like Ms Moon wanted to sell cheap fake Agarwood beads. Maybe no one can understand too. And maybe because no one would believe she would sell such things and thus it gave her the full liberty to do it.

The victorious Lotus sandalwood Thousand Hands Guan Yin.

Maybe one good day, the Thousand Hands Guan Yin would tolerate no more and stretch out one of her weapons to strike at people like Ms Moon. Maybe to bring the share price of her company down to her knees, or hopefully that's not the least. But at this moment, it was the poor Mr Ang who had to pay the very expensive price of believing in liars. And his pathetic wife and beautiful daughters have to bear the shame too. My heart began to pity him and his family.

The verdict was out. The Judge pronounced my victory. The judge said I was more credible in my words. This is the greatest justice done to me.

Those in the under world had been spreading words about the quality and price of our products just to get their merchandise sold. We had not been able to defend ourselves since we are in the light while they are in the dark. We just kept our faith and never let go our faithfulness. We kept our walk on the same untraveled path.

But Heaven is as if speaking out for me through the word of law and mouth of the high court judge. The words and statements of affirmation was clear and public. All the newspapers in the following days had to publish the words of judge's mouth.

I gave thanks to our Thousand Hands Guan Yin. Her two extra fingers has shown to be more powerful than the multitudes of gangs and billions of cash. She blessed not only wealth to those who keep her, she defended the one who keep his faith and his faithfulness. She rewarded us with fame and justice no money can purchase. She touched us with wisdom, inspiration and courage. With two fingers she wiped down the enemies of dark conspiracy and fake friendship.

She, the Sandalwood Thousand Hands Guan Yin, is the Goddess of Ultimate Victory.

-- Master Yun Long Zi, 24 October 2014

Exquisite Lotus Collection Sold to Blessed Client - This Is The Imperial White Inkstone

Master Yun Long Zi blesses every single Lotus collection bought by clients himself, using the specially prepared vermilion, including this Imperial White Inkstone.

The Old Cliff class of Duanxi Clear Waters Inkstone 老坑端溪静水砚台 is a rarity. However, it is nothing compared to the Imperial White Inkstone 御用白端（乾盛康隆硃批砚）. It is because the Imperial White Inkstone is not used to grind ink, but to grind red vermillion.

The red vermillion ground on the Imperial White Inkstone was only used by the Emperor.

Grinding the red vermilion stick on the Imperial White Inkstone, for power, for benefactors, for victory.

Nobody, not even the Prime Minister, can use the Imperial White Inkstone to grind the red vermillion. So how many Imperial White Inkstone can be left among the layman?

With the red ink from vermilion, every single policy of the country was decided. “批”或“不批”，“准”或“不准” - yes or no.

Officials submit their reports to the emperor in black ink. The Emperor replies, in red vermilion ink. Only the Emperor uses the red vermilion.

The Imperial White Inkstone was a symbol of power, authority and control. Administer the fengshui magic by grinding red vermillion on the Imperial White Inkstone and your power and benefactors will multiply immensely.

While defending with the black Duanxi Clear Waters Inkstone is an option, be offensive, heighten your power and benefactor energy tremendously by using the Imperial White Inkstone. Choose to be victorious.

Prosperity with Elegance, Lotus on Water.

What's so powerful with the Lotus 108 sinking agarwood beads? | 旺财108水沉沉香念珠到底为什么那么厉害？

Since PART 1 of the 4th Lotus Guan Yin, the Lotus 108 sinking agarwood beads is back in PART 4. What's so powerful with the Lotus 108 sinking agarwood beads? Here's what:

1) Every single bead sinks; every single bead is the best from the agarwood family: it is easier to find a sinking agarwood pendant than 108 sinking beads. The total mass of sinking agarwood required to come up with Lotus 108 sinking beads can be carved into 3 to 4 times the number of pendants. The beads are the accumulation of the essence of these different sinking agarwood, and the collection of Lotus 108 sinking beads might take up to 5 to 8 years.

2) The Ultimate Yang Power: agarwood is favored for its yang power, bringing in direct wealth, radiant health and great benefactors. In "Yi Jing", the number “9” is a representation of the eldest male member of the family, the patriarch, the ultimate yang. “108” is the composition of 9 multiply 12, your yang power covers all 12 months. The Lotus 108 beads are divided in 4 segments of 27 beads, for both “108” and “27”, the digits add up to “9” – a hidden manifestation of the yang power.

3) Pushing away 108 Problems, Inviting 108 kinds of Prosperity: from our 6 orifices, there are 108 problems in life. Agarwood converts the negative energies to positivity and prosperity, good health and great benefactors. 108 problems of life are converted to 108 blessings.

The Lotus 108 sinking agarwood beads is rare. Not every one has the chance to own it. You can start your prosperity with your first Lotus jadeite pendant: http://bit.ly/lotusjadeite

My Four Most Precious Guan Yin: the Fourth (Part Four of Five: Ms Moon)

Part Four of Five: Ms Moon

What is the connection between Ms Moon and Mr Ang? Except that they were both my clients, and they were very rich, and they were both touched by the hands of faith and miracles.

Ms Moon is a big shareholder and a director of a listed company. And Mr Ang has a company which he wants to get listed.

Ms Moon is a temple goer. Mr Ang is one too. Ms Moon has done many charity and Mr Ang professed that he has done much charity as well.

Ms Moon, with her acute business sense, can see that our business at Lotus on Water was doing very well.

She was amazed that so many people come to us instead of going to others who sell things at very very cheap prize.

She made friends with my media friends, made friends with my staffs, especially our top sales.

The latest Huat bus of Lotus on Water. Catch the bus 165 of Prosperity with Elegance!

And I noticed her company begin to follow us with whatever advertisement we do. For instance, she advertised on a double decker bus as well. But I noticed what she missed out in those advertisements. Mere copying will not make a good advertisement. Advertisement ought to be a angelic song that spreads the good hope, a light house that shines in darkness.

To have consistent in flow of new ideas, you need to activate your literati star. I always put a piece of Dark Earth Agarwood pendent at the corners that has the literati stars. They always give fresh and new ideas.

But since Ms Moon did not ask, I did not try telling her. Even if I tell her, she won't listen. Even if she listened, she won't believe. People only hear what they want to hear, and believe whatever they choose to.

On the right, the Lotus dark earth agarwood pendant. You can either wear it for your prosperity in direct wealth and benefactors, or as like what Master Yun did, placed it at advised corner for the respective fengshui benefits.

So I let people learn from their own experience. But not all people learn. Only some people. And a minority of them will.

Then she turned her attention to our top sales.

"Master, you are very lucky to have good sales people. Their sales talk is so good. No wonder you can sell so well."

"Yes. Very lucky I am indeed." What else could I say?

One day she told me: "Master, with the fame you have and the status you are at, you can say anything and people will listen, you can sell anything and people will buy."

I replied, "On the contrary, I believe it's because I restrain myself from saying and selling anything except those that are true and good, that's why I am where I am today."

She giggled and say: "How proud you are, Master. You should be more humble."

I smiled and said: "If pride is always to come with truth and humility with fake, I will choose pride anytime."

A few weeks later, she asked her driver to leave a packet of beads on my desk. And she left a message: "Master, I have some connections with the Vietnamese government. And I managed to get you some Agarwood beads for you to sell. You should know they are very precious."

Yes. Indeed Agarwood beads from Vietnam are rare and precious. If they are real. People find it too precious to make into beads. So very few Agarwood is made into beads.

I took out a few of them and they smelled and looked real. But just something quite strange I cannot tell. I left it on my desk for further examination and I went on with my busy schedule.

Within a few days time, my staff took one bracelet of beads and sold it to a client. He left the sold Agarwood beads bracelet and left it for me to bless before he come back a few days later to collect.

I got a shock. How can my sales staff be so fast? I have not even decided to sell it.

I held that bracelet of beads in my hand and I prayed to the Thousand Hands Guan Yin to show direction. I suddenly got an urge to force my nail into one of those beads and I tore a piece of waxy, jelly like layer out.

Oh I realized now. They have fixed a layer of real Agarwood skin onto fake wooden beads.

I asked my staff to call the client to come back. And if he was still interested in taking home a bracelet of Agarwood beads, I took one out my safe which cost three times the price he paid and let him take the real one home.

I quickly return the whole packet of Agarwood to Ms Moon and told her they are fake. She told me she didn't know. She said she just wanted to help.

It almost took our integrity and dignity away.

The Lotus galleries along Lotus on Water Street. The first gallery started in 2006. And we expanded, with true fengshui and the prosperity of our faithful clients. This is a testament to the Lotus standard.

From then onwards, I set a rule that all Lotus on Water products must be transacted in the hall of our gallery where our CCTV cameras are. And I will personally make sure that those products our clients took home are real and authentic.

She tried again a few times to sell me fake Agarwood, each time with a new story of what kind of connection she got, which country to have sent her those things. And each time I pointed out to her how I knew they are not real.

When I saw Mr Ang's fake Agarwood beads, they reminded me of Ms Moon.

After some time she gave up the idea of selling me things. She turned her attention to our media friends thinking that it was them that have brought my name up high.

I always had good relationship with the media people. There was one reporter whom we have been friends for ages. After befriending me, and gotten some advice from me, she even bought a second house and her investment grew more than double.

Ms Moon was very interested to befriend her. However, after they became friends, this friend of mine went astray. And we did not meet up for a long time.

One day I got a horror when I read the newspaper. It's a sensational photo. An old lady went to the press in wheelchair.

Her story is that she attended a concert we sponsored. We gave away a jade pendent in a lucky draw. Her ticket was picked up but her chance was denied because she did not complete the ticket. She went to complain to the press that she was bullied because she did not know she had to complete the forms.

A photo next to her show the facade of our gallery. People who saw the photo will know it's us but our gallery's name was not mentioned.

I asked my staff in charged of her lucky draw to show me proof but she said the tickets were all destroyed.

I looked at the staff deep into her eyes and her speech startled.

I knew this is a well schemed game. And this is only but a testing beginning. There will be more to come.

 

The deep waters old mountain sandalwood beads. The old mountain sandalwood beads of the Lotus are at least 80 years of age before harvest, another 20 years of fermentation. The deep waters category is even more aged than that.

If I waited till the real game begins, it will be all too late. So I quickly placed a piece of Agarwood at the benefactor star of the year, and the Deep Waters Sandalwood beads at the literati star. I need to think of a way out within a very short period of time.

I chanted with my 108 Agarwood beads till my heart is calm and my head is clear. The chant means "paying tribute to the treasure in Lotus" (means Guan Yin). When a person chant like this, his world and the Lotus World will merge into one. Guan Yin, who is the treasure of the Lotus is right in front to rectify all wrongs. Bad vibes will be cleared away by the cleansing water of her vase.

Suddenly an idea came to me.

The Lotus 108 sinking agarwood beads. The more you use them, the brighter and more fragrant they become.

So I called the media head and asked her to come see me.

I told her that Lotus on Water was not just a cash cow for me. It was my family heritage and it's is born out of my deep embedded conviction. If they are going to continue in the game, I am prepared to lay down my life like a martyr. I have lived enough and enjoyed much. If I will need to lay my life down so that the Lotus would live, then so let it be. But in my will I will declare all the names who schemed and conspired against me. Let them be investigated thoroughly while my innocent blood scream.

The blood of the innocent will cut through the land of the guilty. The voice of the martyr will never silent till the debt of every conspirator is paid.

And so the drama from the media stopped but just a while. They started again when I declared my retirement from service. They were trying again when my hearing began.

Many weeks later I heard Ms Moon and my ex media friends have invited a PR person for lunch. This time she was asking them to promote her nephew who wants to be a movie star.  The PR person they tried sweet talking to happens to be a friend of my friend. And thanks to my usual generous tipping, the waitress serving their lunch is a friend of the waiter who served me food. They are concerned for my well being and they passed the word to me.

So if you ask me if Mr Ang and Ms Moon is conspiring against me like she did with my ex media friends, I will leave it up to your imagination.

But Ms Moon does have strange friends. Many of her friends have similar beginnings, and similar ends.

The one who follows her closely is one who looks pretty and modern. Used to do pretty well with her own business but ended up broke, with shaky marriage. So she have no choice but to follow Ms Moon everywhere she fancies.

Another was a beautiful and elegant lady who was a mama san. In her course of work , she met a man who owned a listed company. The man divorced his wife and married her. The whole town was gossiping behind her for they are in the media industry.

But through her methods, clean or shrewd, she helped to grow the business big and strong. In no time, she bought a land to build a big and tall building. And she came to us for help.

When my media friends heard they came to ask for our help. They asked me why was I willing to do so taking into account of her grayish past?

I told them she must have paid enough merits in her past to gain present glorious wealth. I will not need to be the judge, let the universe be the one who judge. If she would abuse the grace of Heaven now on her bestowed, the Heaven may send Guan Yin to strike her to her original state, just like how you read about in the "Journey to the West."

With her skills and tricks she used, she was able to delay payment due to us. We who were new in business were no match to her business skills.

Prosperity may have washed her status from ungracious past but have not washed her hearts and hands from greed.

As the rest of Ms Moon friends, she was a temple goer too. But most of the monsters in the novel "Journey to the West" were temple goers as well. They listened to the chanting and preaching of Buddha and thus they gained their merit to possess beautiful human forms. Many of them with seductive figures and sweet smelling breath, able to chant the sutras and perform tiny little magic to lure other monsters and righteous men. But when they fell into the trap by trapping others' souls, they were all whipped back into their original forms.

She invited me to a charity held by a temple she went to, and asked me to be a co-donar. It did not take long for me to realise she laid her unclean hands on the donation.

The blessing vermilion of Lotus on Water is specially prepared. Using the finest vermilion, with the essence of premium and never-for-sale agarwood, sandalwood and ambergris essence, plus 24k gold. The preparation of the Lotus vermilion also uses the black inkstone mentioned in last week's episode.

Out of rage, I spoke to Guan Yin and reminded her it's time for her to act. I offered up the blood red vermillion, to her I prayed.

I offer to You now the blood red vermillion. The debt of karma and pain of retribution shall not be on me but on her who owes. The merit of prosperity has not brought her grace and only fearless greed.

In a very short time retribution came. Their share price was struck humbly down to knee. The husband somehow became gambling addict and lost his fortune on the dens.

They were forced to sell off all their shares and their names are no longer heard among the wealthy class. Last I heard of them was they were under investigation and may have lost their freedom.

Sometimes the rescue of Guan Yin is fast and swift. She gave you a ball and it turned into double dragon to devour the devil. She gave you a ring and you can harness the naughty monkey king. Such are the endings of Ms Moon's many friends.

But sometime the rescue is quite delayed, just like how Ms Moon is still around.

It is as if the hand of Guan Yin is beyond reach and the eyes of karma are blind to them.

The victorious sandalwood Thousand Hands Guan Yin.

No, they are here to lure the righteous man to test their faith and to gather the evil company of other monstrous beings. And maybe that's why people like Ms Moon was meant to stay. The time is delayed for her to disappear like her mama san friend.

But I can tell you I sometimes feel like a monk in the story of "Journey to the West." He was trapped by monsters waiting to cook him up and devour him. At times the rescue came so late that I thought the dawn of next sunlight will never come. I thought the journey would end here and not in the promised land. It may take another soul to heed to the calling of conviction to complete the whole journey.

I could feel that the monsters are heating up the stove and giggling in anticipation thinking that their plan will succeed soon.

Mr Ang was the tip of the ice berg. If I drop my sword and bow to him, there will be a whole gang waiting to devour us. The only way is to pray for the mighty spear of the Thousand Hands Guan Yin to fight for our side.

But I will never know that the power is on my side if I have never stepped forward. Moses never knew the Red Sea would open till he stuck his shepherd staff into the water.

And so I told Mr Kan. Let's take him on.
