Careful reading, never wishful thinking
Our principle for ancestral ground: these matters call for careful reading, never wishful thinking. They are not judged by quick wealth or fast results, but by a traditional survey on site, an analysis of the terrain and an assessment of the whole.
Not every grave needs to be changed, and we never recommend changes for a short-term boost.
What a survey looks at
- The terrain of mountains and water
- Orientation and layout
- The present state of the grave
- Family considerations
- The long view
Ancestral ground surveys and burial-site selection depend on careful reading on site and are quoted per matter. From Australia, start by explaining the situation on WeChat; the master will judge whether anything is needed and how to arrange it.
Choosing ground for forebears
Burial-site selection means choosing auspicious ground and orientation for the departed — traditionally held to settle them and shelter later generations, a long-term family matter. Under home and family we consider home, company and ancestral ground together for long-horizon arrangements.
Rites that can be arranged from abroad
Rites for unborn children, karmic creditors and unsettled debts can be arranged remotely by family abroad, with a record sent afterwards. Lamp-lighting and blessing — often at the new year, a birthday or a turning point — can be arranged remotely too.
Rites are not granted on demand: the master first hears the matter, judges whether a rite is appropriate and which one; if it is not, the master will say so. Once the matter is clear the master quotes, and payment follows agreement.
