About Feng Shui

There are three major schools of feng shui: Traditional or Classical Feng Shui Schools, Black Sect Tantric Buddhism Schools and Intuitive or Modern Feng Shui Schools.

Traditional or Classical Feng Shui schools include the Form (Landscape) Feng Shui School and the Compass Feng Shui School (which includes Flying Star, Eight Mansions, and other methods). Form Feng Shui examines shapes and symbolism in the environment without referring to compass directions. Compass Feng Shui School utilizes the feng shui compass, the bagua, lo shu square and feng shui calculations.

Black Hat Sect Tantric Buddhist Feng Shui was developed in the US about fifteen years ago by the Grandmaster Thomas Lin Yun. The Black Hat Sect School is a combination of Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism and Classical Feng Shui.

Intuitive or Modern Feng Shui is a Western adaptation of some levels of Traditional Feng Shui. Instead of Chinese culturally-specific symbols, cures more appropriate to Western lifestyle and taste are being used. Modern feng shui includes such schools as the Western School of Feng Shui, the Pyramid School, and others.

Good feng shui consultants will apply more than one feng shui approach, or school.
