Please advise because im currently lost my job and my financial had problem…

Dear Rainbow,
In Buddhism, we believe that everything we experience, pleasant or unpleasant, is the result of causes and conditions created by us in the past. I think we should not be too dependent on “feng shui” as it is an imperfect science and feng shui masters or astrologers can also make mistakes. While feng shui can show us certain aspects of our life and our character, it cannot automatically solve our problems. To deal with your difficulties, it is better to rely on the Dharma, the Buddha’s teachings. The Buddha taught that to gain material and spiritual wealth, we need to overcome our outer and inner miserliness. In other words, we must abandon our greed or thoughts of “prosperity” as well as our selfishness. Practise generosity by doing charity or giving offerings to the sangha. Be a kind and caring person for others. The Buddha believed that hard work is the luckiest star. It is better to rely on yourself and overcome your problems through your own efforts.
