 Feng Shui Emporium: House and Garden: Door CurtainsIn feng shui we talk about an 'empty door'...that is when there is no actual door, just an opening. This is thought of as putting the people in the home at risk energetically - 'exposed',with no control of the chi flowing back and forth between the rooms. Below we offer a number of ways to handle this problem. Also, we have found that many people like to hand the door curtains on the actual door as a protective or decorative technique. |
Bamboo and Bead Door CurtainHighly recommended as an excellent and attractive way to slow down fast-moving ch'i. The photo depicts a problem hallway in our home; when my Feng Shui master came to visit me, he immediately noticed my remedy and enthusiastically commented on it. I took a picture for you. Here it is easy to see exactly how efficiently bamboo curtains do their job. Sized 36" x 72" to fit the average doorway. Item #ES-BBC. Picture.

Made of heavy cotton, with the EIGHT AUSPICIOUS SYMBOLS gorgeously HAND EMBROIDERED on it. VERY PROTECTIVE ... especially good for doors which lead to the outside. Colors are in a bright red background (as shown in picture), or maroon, which is a little more subdued, which is beautifully lined. Also comes in Blue, with a white border.

An Explanation of the EIGHT AUSPICIOUS SYMBOLS by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso: The UMBRELLA symbolizes the umbrella of the Buddhist Community and teaches us that first we should enter the Buddhist family. The GOLDEN FISH symbolize harmony indicating that under this umbrella we should always live in harmony and peace. The VASE symbolizes wealth and teaches us that we should enjoy the inner wealth of our faith, moral discipline, our study and practice of Dharma, benefiting others, sense of shame, consideration for others, and wisdom. The LOTUS symbolizes purity which indicates that we should always strive to become a pure being by practicing the Bodhisattva's way of life. The CONCH SHELL symbolizes the Dharma Jewel and teaches us that we should accomplish the Dharma Jewel, the realizations of the stages of path, within our mind. The KNOT OF ETERNITY symbolizes an uncommon quality of Buddha's realizations, namely his realization of omniscient wisdom. The VICTORY BANNER symbolizes an uncommon quality of Buddha's abandonment, his abandonment of the delusions and mistaken appearance. These last two signs together indicate that through gaining the Dharma Jewel, the realizations of the stages of the path to enlightenment, we shall attain two uncommon qualities of Buddha. The DHARMA WHEEL indicates that, having attained these two uncommon qualities of Buddha, we are able to lead all living beings to permanent liberation from suffering, principally by turning the wheel of Dharma, that is by giving Dharma teachings. This is our final goal. |
