【玳瑚師父客人見證】 《我生命中的良師益友》
A Good Teacher & A Valuable Friend in My Life (English version below)

我早在2006年有幸和玳瑚师父会面，並得到他的慈悲提點，从我的中文姓名測試中更認識自己。我非常驚訝，也讚嘆師父測名的精準，于是請他賜我一個良名。師父他勞心為我量身撰了三个名字，也非常有责任地解釋每個名字選擇的精髓。過去的幾年，我都一直在用我的新名字，使我的職業生涯和人事關係有了顯著的進步。
我也有福份能夠請玳瑚師父到我剛購買的四方式組屋勘察風水。雖然這房子的總面積才那區區的92平方公米，但師父非常細心地看，費了3個小時才大功告成。我覺得真是物有所值！
師父他對這間屋宅的格局並無好評，說這房子是「無情」的，所以我們住進去不會有一個家該有的溫暖和溫馨。他勸我們住滿5年後就搬家。他說最好的風水莫過於先天的格局好，而不是人爲的佈局。我起初也不很重視他這一番忠告，但住在這房子一段時間後就開始懂了。我住在這房子無法一百巴仙自在，也無法真正的感受到家的溫暖。這間接影響了我在事業上的專注，也在某些程度上沖擊了我的婚姻。慶幸的是師父有提供一些在風水上補救的方法，不然我看我的痛苦會加倍。
我如今已不住在那間組屋單位了，也就更明顯地看見生活狀況的差異。還住在那裡的日子裏，我錯失了很多機會來提昇自己的生活。我無論多努力也看不見在錢財方面有轉機，更別提有貴人相助。一切一切都不順心。打從我搬家後，生活的改變迅速而明顯。現在住的地方也有請玳瑚師父來勘察風水。事業和錢財方面都大大改善，貴人也在沒有預料中出來拔刀相助。我在之前的那間組屋根本無美麗的回憶可言，所以我是絕對不會再搬回去那裡住的。
師父也不斷地提醒我年輕時應該多累積善功德，不要貪圖享樂。他說我和太太的先天福份不夠，所以才會拿到那麼差勁的屋子。如果我更早認識玳瑚師父，我一定會請他為我擇屋子。
師父他处事态度认真，外表严肃，但背后影藏着一颗博爱的心和的一個對于善用自己的生命和玄学知識去利益別人的堅定精神。 他拥有非常饱满的佛學知識，更非常樂意地與人分享，勸人向善。 那時候的我對宗教和人生有著許多疑惑，師父也不辭辛勞地為我解答。
對我而言，玳瑚師父不是一個普通的“算命先生”。他是一位言行一致的佛學老師，我生命中的良師益友！

I have had the privilege of engaging Master Dai Hu to do a name analysis for me way back in 2006. It was quite a surreal experience as what he told me, be it my personality traits, my childhood, my career and relationship, was stark accurate. I asked him to pen a new Chinese name for me. He came up with 3 name selections for me, and I was pleasantly surprised how eloquent they sounded. He painstakingly explained the essence of each name selection, and after much consideration, I chose one. I have been using my new name for the past several years, and have experienced positive changes in my career and relationships.
It was also my good fortune to be able to engage Master Dai Hu for a Feng Shui audit of my new 4-room flat. Even though the place was a mere 92sqm, he spent nearly 3 hours going into the details. It was definitely value for money! He did not have a good appraisal of the house, explaining that layout of the flat would not provide the warmth and comfort of a home, and advised us to move as soon as the 5-year Minimum Occupancy Period is up. He said the best Feng Shui comes from having a good layout in the first place and not man-made remedies. At first I did not give much thought to his advice but the longer I stayed there, I realized what he was trying to tell me. I did not feel fully settled at home and this affected my focus at work and to a certain extent, my marriage. Master Dai Hu did advise certain steps to mitigate the negative effect, and I am glad that things did not go any worse.
Now that I am not residing there any longer, the difference in my life is stark and telling. In the past, there were always missed opportunities. No matter how hard I worked, my finances were always in a rut. There were no benefactors in sight and things did not go my way at all. My life has improved tremendously in terms of my luck and career growth since I moved out. Master Dai Hu also did the Feng Shui audit of my current residence. I received unexpected assistance along the way and my career fared much better. There is no way I am going to stay in that house again for all the negative memories it has given me.
Master constantly reminded me not to indulge in worldly pleasures but instead, use the time to accumulate merits through virtuous deeds. He said my wife and I had insufficient merits to begin with in this life and thus ended up with a lousy flat layout. If I had known Master Dai Hu earlier, I would have definitely gotten him to assist in my house selection.
Behind his stern demeanor lies a very compassionate spirit with an insurmountable tenacity to make the best use of his life to help others through his vast experience in Chinese metaphysics. He also possesses a huge wealth of knowledge in Buddhism and is never afraid of sharing it. That was a great thing for me as I was, at that stage of my life, seeking more understanding into the religion and asking a lot of questions about life.
To me, Master Dai Hu is not just your usual "fortune teller". He is a teacher and a mentor in life and Buddhism, and most importantly, a brave and tenacious human being who walks the talk!
