Let us Welcome the JOYFUL MONTH

(Above is the Bukit Merah Thai Temple which I often visit. A very peaceful tree stands beside the temple. Whenever I visit the temple, I like to sit beside the tree for 3 minutes to feel its good energy. During the lunar 7th month, this temple also has prayers for ancestors. I am very touched that they allowed people to place your ancestor's name at only $38 which includes daily prayers daily and proper set ups. Peace Peace Peace) You can go and place your ancestors' names now.

The concept of 7th Month horror was worsened by media and movies especially in 1980s. We grew up with all the Chinese ghostly horror movies about 7th month...Do you remember..... the scary Aunty (luo lan) in the movie .

Bryan's Concept of 7th month--- I believed I have proven to many of you, and many of you have also proven yourself during last year 7th month where you found job, and business with major luck improvements.

To Mahayana Buddhists, the seventh lunar month is a month of joy. This is because the fifteenth day of the seventh month is often known as the Buddha's joyful day and the day of rejoice for monks.

The origins of the Buddha's joyful day can be found in various scriptures. When the Buddha was alive, his disciples meditated in the forests of India during the rainy season of summer. Three months later, on the fifteen day of the seventh month, they would emerge from the forests to celebrate the completion of their meditation and report their progress to the Buddha.

In the Ullambana Sutra, the Buddha instructs his disciple Maudgalyayana on how to obtain liberation for his mother, who had been reborn into a lower realm, by making food offerings to the sangha on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. Because the number of monks who attained enlightenment during that period was high, the Buddha was very pleased.

My little tips for 7th month:
1) Try using the Kum Mo Yan set. Its very good to clear negative or low energy. As the incense of kum mo yan appear, you can further enhance by chanting kwan yin mantra 3 times and says,"Dedicate to all beings with peace." Not necessary to do it everyday ok.

Personally, I will burn on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday this month (Hahaha..coincidentally, one box contains 12. Just nice). Use 5 elements oil to final rinse your body if you happened to be out late. Or 1 drop onto a piece of cotton pad, carry it with you in pocket if you need to go clubbing....

2) I suggest we do more charity work this month. Pray to your ancestors and wish them to be in peace (I don't suggest you to ask ancestors to bless you in your life. Please do not do that, let them rest in peace ). I will also visit the temple and put a name for the ancestor (it can be surname and ancestor). A good place I found is Bukit Merah Thai Temple. Placement of your ancestor's name at $38. Example if your surname is TAN, you put Tan's ancestor.


3) Bryan's powerful herbal tea to increase your Yang Qi.
3 Marigold flowers in a cup. Pour in boiling water and steep for 5mins. Drink when cool. Add Acacia honey if possible.

Marigold Flower Tea is a cleansing and detoxifying herb with anti-fungal, anti-viral and antibiotic activity. Marigold flowers are strongly anti-inflammatory and healing. This herbal tea also may be used for gastritis. It makes an ideal healing drink for anyone who has undergone surgery. Marigold Flower Tea can help to regulate womens' menstrual periods and benefits the immune and lymphatic systems. It is also the SUN of flowers with a lot YANG energy. Improve luck and cure YIN Qi problems
