KEYNOTE
Master Yap Boh Chu
Prosperity

Many people know that feng shui is all about prosperity, but what is prosperity? Most equate prosperity with wealth, and will say that feng shui can help to make you rich. Many of you as practitioners must have encountered questions from clients such as “Now that you have done my feng shui, when can I strike lottery?” or “Will I soon become a millionaire?” Is it all that feng shui is about, by making people rich? As a matter of fact, traditional interpretation of “Prosperity” is much more than wealth and Feng Shui is an all-encompassing practice that supports a person in many other ways as well. To truly appreciate what feng shui can do for us, let us delve into Chinese culture to understand more about”福” or “prosperity”, and the true meaning of “being rich”.
