It was a ‘religious’ trip to Taiwan.  I joined my mentors for group practice on 2 commercial sites and then audited one of the largest church before finishing my trip with an initial an assessment of a Taoist temple Wu Ji Tian Yuan Temple 無極天元宮 .

The temple is located in the outskirt of Taipei city at Dan Shui Town, 台北縣淡水鎮北新路3段36號.

Landform:  In-coming Dragon from Gen 艮龍入首.  The temple faces a Yang Table Mountain (陽案) and sits on 震卦 乙山 24-Mountain, which is a Yin sitting.

Landform:  The Waterways and Qi flow are all from right (North) to left (West) 右旋陰龍 converging in West -辛 and 庚.  A Dui 兌 exit.

The containment of Qi is served by the side buildings acting as immediate embraces, an ample size car park and suitable landings of stairs to create Bright Halls.

By maximising on space, the practitioner has matched basic Yin-Yang form by opening up wide.  However, a little flaw here – the side building on left serving as an embrace is a little ‘loose’ and the car park entry however could be located on the left.

Overall, above macro scale concerns (except for 1 particular Yin-Yang criteria) ensures the larger scheme of things are set.  The temple is able to serve its primal functions – spreading their religion, good reputation, and financial viability.

San He Feng Shui:

The main temple sits on Small Death and Emptiness 小空亡 of 戊辰 on 72-Dragon, taking a Yin Wood Formation.  Water exits in Weakening 衰 phase (in辛) and then towards the bigger Water Mouths in Sick 病 (in 庚).  The temple is doing well from donations from mainly female devotees.

San Yuan Feng Shui:

The connection of Qi using the natural terrain, entrances and water will keep the temple’s profitability.  Problem is its sitting on 陰陽差錯 a crossing of Yin-Yang on Gua and 24-mountain.  There are petty internal management issues weighing down the vision of the temple.

Xuan Kong Da Gua：  The main building sits on Sincerity Hexagram 風澤中孚卦 – Mountain Meets Mash Gua Qi formation 山澤通氣.

When a site’s Feng Shui is at its optimal, both San He and San Yuan Feng Shui will match.
