【51歲了,看八字還有用嗎?】
At Age 51, Is Bazi Analysis Still Relevant?
曾經有人問過我類似以上的問題。
我的答案是:人生已過了一半。如果目前沒有您無法解決的難題,對於未來您也沒有什麼想要實現的夢想,不需要指導,那倒不如好好學佛,消業增福,為將來百年歸去時做好準備。
畢竟,無常和明天,不知哪個先到。
提供見證的女客人,年過半百,面對好些家庭問題。我們在今年二月過年前見面。
其中,讓她最頭痛的是與兒子之間的關係。兒子與她說話時,很容易不耐煩,也不聽她的勸告和教導,不像以前會聽完她講整句話。
許多母親遇到這樣的問題,會問我怎樣改善孩子的態度。
我的答案都是:先改變自己。
去改變任何人是很累的事情,也容易吃力不討好。在他的眼裡,會覺得你在逼他。可是,當你能夠改變自己的時候,你身上的磁場會隨之起變化。
人與人之間,喜歡和不喜歡,合與不合,說明了,就是五行的遊戲,磁場碰觸而產生的「火花」。
你的磁場與孩子的磁場不合,源自於你們八字的不合。
想擁有更好的親子關係,玄學上,可採取三種方法:改名、批命,和/或調居家風水。
個人磁場往正確的方向改進,你會發現很多本來不行的事情,突然就通了,不合的人,摩擦也減少了。
當然,如果兩人都願意改變,那就事半功倍了。
女客人說,孩子現在還會跟她開玩笑了。
我指點這位女客人,因為她八字所需,應該常去捐血。她說,2018年體檢報告顯示她有貧血。
可是,這八字不應該有貧血問題的。
我認為是她之前用錯五行,飲食習慣出了岔子。
她見了我後,照著我的話做了一個月,三月時,去做體檢。報告顯示一切正常,她可以捐血。
一個藥,不見得就能醫好所有的人,因為每個人的體質不一樣。一般人會以為喝紅棗茶能補血,所以有這方面的問題,就該多喝。
但在玄學上,這可不一定。對症下藥,在這裡就是要看客人八字而定。
年紀越大的客人,往往越固執,不容易改變自己的看法和作風。有些也因為以前已給不同的師父看過幾次命,更會固執己見。
這位女客人做得到,也真是命不該絕啊!哈~
偶爾,我會遇到客人,在諮詢時詢問關於他們父母的健康。
坦白說,與其東敲西打,如果父母願意,那你倒不如大方點出錢幫自己的父母看命。
真要改善父母的生活,我無法三言兩語就能交代清楚。這樣未免太敷衍你了,可我也不能只收看一個八字的收費卻變成看三個人呀~
客人便會問,孩子與父母,應該先看誰的八字?
一定是父母為先,因為沒有父母就不會有我們。
他們在人間的時間,隨著每一個生日,已逐漸減少。
百善孝為先,這點不要等到母親節才記得。
你真有善功德時,又何愁孩子不受教不成才呢?

Someone once asked me the question above.
My answer: You have lived half your life. If there is no insurmountable issue at the present and you have no further ambition for the later years, it would be wise to focus on the Dharma diligently to eradicate your karma and prepare for your eventual passing.
After all, you cannot tell which will come first, tomorrow or death.
The female client who provided this testimonial is past 50 years of age and faced plenty family issues. The one which pained her the most is her relationship with her son. Her son is impatient when talking to her and does not heed her advice and teachings, unlike in the past when he would at least hear her finish her sentence.
Many mothers who faced the same dilemma would ask me for ways to improve the attitude of their children.
My answer to them all: Change yourself first.
To change another person is a tiring chore and often goes unappreciated. In the eyes of the other person, he would feel that you are forcing him. But when you can change yourself, the energy fields of your body will start to transform.
The dynamics in a relationship, simply put, is a game of the five elements and the chemistry reaction that arise when two energy fields come together.
The incompatibility in energy fields between you and your child stems from both of your Bazi.
From the Chinese Metaphysics viewpoint, there are three ways to improve the parent-child relationship: Change of the Chinese name, Bazi Analysis and/or alter the Feng Shui of your house.
As you change your own energy field in the positive direction, new paths will open up for problems seemingly hard to resolve and conflicts lessen with people whom you could not get along with.
Of course things would improve doubly quick if both parties are willing to change.
The female client told me that her child could even joke with her now.
I advised her, based on her Bazi, to donate blood regularly. She said a health examination in 2018 revealed that she was anaemic. But this Bazi should not have such a condition. I believe that was due to her using the wrong elements as well as her dietary habits.
She followed my advice for a month, and a health check in March showed that all was well and that she could donate blood.
One type of medicine does not necessarily work for everyone as all of us have different disposition. Most people would assume that drinking red dates tea improves anaemia.
But from the perspective of Chinese Metaphysics, this may not work well. The best cure is the one that is customized to the client’s Bazi.
Older clients tend to be more resistant and stubborn to change. Some clung onto their views so tightly due to their many Bazi analysis with different masters.
This client of mine managed to break the resistance to change. This shows that there’s still hope!
Sometimes I would get questions from clients during Bazi consultation asking about their parents’ health.
Honestly, rather than asking bits and pieces, be generous (if you can afford) and pay to have their Bazi read. I am unable to offer real improvements to your parents’ lives with sparse advice here and there. That would be trying to pull a fast one on you but I can’t be analysing 3 Bazi when you only paid for one.
The client will then ask who should be their priority for Bazi analysis: their child or their parents?
Parents. No two-way about this. Where would you be without them?
Their time in this world is dwindling as each birthday passes.
Filial piety is the foremost of all virtues. Don’t remember this only on Mother’s Day.
If you truly can garner merits from your filial piety virtues, why worry that your child will be disobedient and unable to make the mark?

• Giải thích cả 2 ý kiến. Vì sao một số người lại nghĩ rằng chỉ nên chấp nhận những học sinh xuất sắc ở độ tuổi trẻ (đưa ra lợi ích), và tại sao những người khác lại cho rằng nên cho phép tất cả học sinh ở mọi lứa tuổi học Đại học (đưa ra lợi ích).
• Đưa ra quan điểm cá nhân đồng ý với ý kiến 1 hay
CẤU TRÚC BÀI VIẾT
Introduction: chỉ nên viết 2 câu trong phần mở bài
• Giới thiệu topic bằng cách paraphrase lại câu hỏi
Many people say that universities should only offer to young students with highest marks, others say they should accept people with all ages, even if they did not do well
• Many people say that = Many people think that = It is commonly believed that…
• University = University education = Tertiary education = Higher education
• Student with highest marks = Students with good grades = A good academic result = Top students = High-ranking students = High-potential individuals
• Accept SB = Make accessible to ST/SB = Be opened up for SB
• People with all ages = Everyone regardless of their age
• Not do well = Not perform well = Regardless of learning capacity = Poor academic results
• Giới thiệu 2 ý kiến và đưa ra quan điểm cá nhân của mình

For those who were there at McDonough Gymnasium on August 4, 1994, few will forget the arrival of a 6-0 freshman guard who needed no introduction. The rumors of Allen Iverson's arrival to the Kenner Summer League were true, and by game's end, Iverson had scored 40 points. By the Sunday afternoon final, before an overflow crowd inside the gym and a crowd of those outside who could not get in, Iverson finished a combined 99 point effort in three days against some of the best collegiate talent in the city. This, of course, from a player that had not played organized basketball in over a year.
The Allen Iverson years had begun.
A brief profile can't do justice to tell the story of one of the greatest pure athletes ever to attend Georgetown, a man without peer in his talent over two years at the collegiate level. Just a year before his Kenner debut, few would have imagined Allen Iverson ever playing college basketball.
Iverson was not only a 31 point a game guard for Bethel HS, but a football player of tremendous skill. As a quarterback and defensive back his sophomore season, he produced nearly 1,600 yards offense and 13 INT's. By his junior year, he accounted for 2,204 yards, 21 touchdowns by rush or interception, and 14 touchdown passes. In a region which has produced NFL quarterbacks such as Michael Vick and Aaron Brooks, there are those who will still say "Bubbachuck" Iverson was better than both of them. Schools such as Arkansas, Kentucky, Duke, and three dozen other top programs across two sports were vying for perhaps the greatest two-sport star the Tidewater had ever produced.
When he led Bethel to the state title, someone asked what it was like to win the title. "I'm going to get one in basketball now," which he did. In late February, 1993, en route to the state title he had promised, Iverson was one of a large group of Bethel teammates at a Hampton bowling alley when a fight broke out between students from rival schools trading racial insults. Three people were hurt in the aftermath. Despite conflicting testimony from eyewitnesses and no clear evidence linking him to the crime, Iverson was one of four black students arrested.
Racial tensions were heightened when the prosecutors passed on a misdemeanor assault charge and charged Iverson with three counts of felony "maiming by mob", which carried a 20 year prison sentence. Despite video evidence which did not place Iverson in the crowd at the time of the fight, he was convicted in a racially charged case.
The 20 year sentence was later reduced to five, and Iverson was granted clemency by Gov. Douglas Wilder three months later, sending Iverson to a detention program at an alternative high school. (The original charges were thrown out by the Virginia court of appeals in 1995.)
In the spring of 1994, with Iverson still in detention, his mother approached John Thompson with a plea to help her son get to college and start a new chapter of his life. Though Thompson had passed on a number of troubled players in the past, he offered Iverson a scholarship in April of that season, contingent upon his completion of high school and his legal release, which was granted 48 hours before his Kenner debut.
By his debut in a Georgetown uniform in November 1994, Iverson had been the subject of intense national media attention. In the Hoyas' annual exhibition with Fort Hood, Iverson scored 36 points, five assists, and three steals in 23 minutes. Local columnists were in awe.
"Hang his number up in the rafters," wrote Tom Knott of the Washington Times. "He's better than most of the point guards in the NBA right now."
"I saw Lew Alcindor, Austin Carr, Moses Malone, Alonzo Mourning, Albert King, Ralph Sampson and Patrick Ewing play in high school," said the Post's Thomas Boswell. "Now, I have two memories on my first impression top shelf. The man who became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Allen Iverson."
Iverson opened the 1994-95 season in Memphis, TN in a 97-79 loss to defending NCAA champion Arkansas, scoring 19 points. Six days later, he scored 31 in a nationally televised game with DePaul, followed by 30 four days later against Providence, leading the team in scoring 22 times that season. His only game under double figures for the season (and his career) was a game where he played only ten minutes in a loss at Villanova, a game Georgetown coach John Thompson threatened to forfeit when a group of Villanova students paraded through the Spectrum in black and white-striped prison garb, with a sign comparing Iverson to O.J. Simpson.
"You accept certain ribbing, but there is a line," Thompson said after the game. "I can condone any Christian university sitting and watching that happen...If that happens [again], I going to walk. It that simple." Such fan behavior was not seen thereafter.
Later in the season, with President Bill Clinton in attendance, Iverson scored 26 as the Hoyas routed Villanova, 77-52. He followed it up with 21 to beat Syracuse, 28 versus St. John's, 31 in a Big East tournament opener with Miami (a game that saw Iverson outscore the entire Hurricane team at the end of the first half), and 27 versus Connecticut in the semis. In the NCAA regional, he scored 24 in the loss, but held Jeff McInnis to 1 for 8 shooting. By season's end, Allen Iverson had been named Big East Player of the Week nine times, Rookie of the Year, a second team all-conference selection, and honorable mention All-America recipient. Having led the Hoyas in points and steals en route to the school's first NCAA regional appearance since 1989, Iverson was already a star. By 1996, he would become nothing less than a sensation.
The leaser of a talented team that featured four future NBA stars, Allen Iverson dominated the 1995-96 season as no Hoya has done before or since. Adept at the crossover dribble that became his NBA trademark, lightning quick to the basket, and able to score on opponents at will, Iverson was largely unstoppable. Even more impressive was an effort to improve his shooting touch, for despite averaging 20.4 points as a freshman in 1994-95 (2nd all time for a Georgetown rookie), Iverson only shot 39 percent from the field, 23 percent from three, and 19 percent from three in Big East play. For his sophomore season, his field shooting increased to 48 percent, his three point mark to 36 percent. The results were striking.
In the pre-season NIT versus Temple, Iverson shot 50 percent for 24 points and a career high 10 rebounds. After a 23 point effort against Georgia Tech, he scored a career high 40 against Arizona, one of two 40+ point games that season. In Big East play, Iverson could ring up points with ease, such as the game where he scored 21 points in only 20 minutes against Rutgers.
In the final three months of the season, Iverson led the team in 21 of the team's 25 games: 40 against Seton Hall, 39 against St. John's, 34 against Providence. He scored 30 in a wild win over Memphis, and followed it up two nights later with 26 in an upset of #3 Connecticut. For the game, Iverson totalled 26 points, 8 steals, and 6 assists, including a soaring dunk past Ray Allen and the Huskies. It was the highest ranked team any Georgetown team had defeated since 1988. His best performance of the season might have been a 37 point, 8 rebound, and three steal effort against #6 ranked Villanova, playing only 27 minutes. The 106-68 win represents the sixth largest margin of victory and the largest margin ever by a Georgetown team against a top 10 opponent.
Iverson was capable of an off game; unfortunately, two came at particularly inopportune times for the Hoyas' hopes for a national title. Entering the 1996 Big East Final with a #1 seed on the line, Iverson shot 4 for 15 and the Hoyas lost by one, 76-75. As a result of the loss, Georgetown was seeded #2 behind top ranked UMass, and in the regional final between the two teams Iverson struggled with a 6 for 21 effort in the loss. For the season, though, his statistics were astonishing: his 926 points broke the then-record by 124 points. He set new single season marks in field goals, field goal attempts, three pointers, three point attempts, steals, minutes, and scoring average (25.0), the latter of which ranked 7th in the nation that season. The Big East's defensive player of the year, he was named a consensus All-American amidst numerous other awards.
If he could somehow have stayed four years, Iverson undoubtedly would have shredded the Georgetown record books. But whatever hopes existed for Iverson to resist the lure of the NBA were short lived, particularly with the news that one of his sisters had fallen ill. Seeing the opportunity to take care of his family's medical needs, Iverson announced for the NBA draft soon after the end of his sophomore season, becoming the first Georgetown player in the Thompson era to do so. The compact that had bound so many great Hoya players to a four year commitment--from Ewing to Williams, Mourning to Mutombo--had now been broken.
The first pick in the 1996 NBA draft, Iverson signed a $3.9 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers and a ten year, $50 million deal with Reebok. His effort on the court is well known and respected, but for all the media portrayals of Iverson as the anti-hero, an icon of a "Hip Hop Nation" that ran counter to the NBA's carefully constructed marketing image, or as a symbol of all that is allegedly wrong in professional basketball, he remains remarkably well-grounded.
Married for six years and the father of two, Iverson is fiercely loyal to his teammates and to his childhood friends. He considered it an honor to play for the U.S. Olympic team in 2004 when other NBA stars passed on the offer, and maintains a number of charity events to benefit his local community. In comparison to his NBA career, his years at Georgetown were largely free of the intense media and personal scrutiny, providing at least two years where he could grow as a person as well as a basketball player.
His arrival and exit at Georgetown is still a source of debate in some circles, but his performance on the court is not. Allen Iverson found a home, even briefly, at the Hilltop, and remains one of its brightest stars. "In my heart, I know I'm a basketball player," Iverson said following his 2006 NBA trade, "being that I know I can play with the best of them."
From that first Kenner League game on 1994, no one has doubted it since.

His effort on the court is well known and respected, but for all the media portrayals of Iverson as the anti-hero, an icon of a "Hip Hop Nation" that ran counter to the NBA's carefully constructed marketing image, or as a symbol of all that is allegedly wrong in professional basketball, he remains remarkably well-grounded.
Married for six years and the father of two, Iverson is fiercely loyal to his teammates and to his childhood friends. He considered it an honor to play for the U.S. Olympic team in 2004 when other NBA stars passed on the offer, and maintains a number of charity events to benefit his local community. In comparison to his NBA career, his years at Georgetown were largely free of the intense media and personal scrutiny, providing at least two years where he could grow as a person as well as a basketball player.
His arrival and exit at Georgetown is still a source of debate in some circles, but his performance on the court is not. Allen Iverson found a home, even briefly, at the Hilltop, and remains one of its brightest stars. "In my heart, I know I'm a basketball player," Iverson said following his 2006 NBA trade, "being that I know I can play with the best of them."
From that first Kenner League game on 1994, no one has doubted it since.
