Dear cecil,
You mentioned the knot in the 8 lucky symbols of the Buddhism in photo tour. What is the significance of the knot. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
The knot symbolises eternal life.
It is not uncommon for many Chinese practitioners in my country or in nearby countries to mix `religious' significance of symbols or objects with Feng Shui.
As I mentioned, if one `hires' a Feng Shui practitioner deeply rooted in religion, invariably, their religious influence may be `mixed' with Feng Shui.
The two most common ones are:
1. Advising their clients to place the Ba Gua mirror on all the houses (to ward off evil).
2. Use of such symbols as the `Eight Lucky' Symbolic Buddha symbols in Feng Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
P.S. For those who do not know the history of Buddhism, just to let u know that Buddhism / Buddha belief originated from Inda.
