Red Envelopes And Teachings

Red envelopes play an important part in the master- disciple relationship in Feng shui. For every teaching a master bestows on his student, the student has to give a red envelope to the master. Although nothing is put in these envelopes when are given, yet according to traditional beliefs, small gold coins, gold bars or other valuable gifts should be put into it before giving them to the master.

Most traditional masters follow this practice till date. There are many theories as to why these red envelopes are gifted by the students to the masters. Some think that these red envelopes are tokens of gratitude for the master since he has taught such useful teachings to the students. Feng shui is an art that requires a lot of time and practice to be able to understand and practice it, so this thank-you gift is only a gesture by those students who have received some of the essence of this art.

The other theory is a little negative in nature. Some believe that the knowledge and information that the masters give will ultimately bring them bad luck. This however depends on the way the students use this art. So these red envelopes block out the negative forces and protect the master from its effects.

Red Envelopes And Happiness

Red in itself is a symbol of happiness in the Chinese culture. So envelopes made in red help you share this happiness with other people.

You may see many red envelopes floating around these days, especially on occasions such as Christmas or New Year. You might not have garnered their significance till now. But we are sure after reading this information, the next time you get a red envelope, you will take them seriously as symbols bringing happiness and prosperity to your home.
