2.     Feng Shui x 2 Sessions

The principle behind feng shui is that all objects (living and inanimate) contain qi (or chi). Qi is a form of energy that is constantly moving and changing. The goal of feng shui is to keep qi flowing gently through your environment rather than running straight through it. If it becomes stuck or blocked, qi can hurt your environment. Learn how to use these principles in the environment around you.

There are many scriptures or canons, with long descriptions of Buddha’s teachings; over the centuries, these have been distilled down to simple guiding philosophies or ‘disciplines’, which are commonly practised in all Buddhist monastic communities.
