 What the students said about  The Advanced Bazi Course

 

 
Speaking from the HEART
 

This was an unorthodox course. Most instructors begin the lesson by explaining the principles, and then show the students the case studies. This master commenced by showing the case studies first, and then only proceeded to outline the underlying principles! It would be something like bringing medical students into the operating theatre first, then only teach the basics of human anatomy. 

Whatever the teaching method, it must be said that the case studies were all carefully selected to illustrate certain points and not randomly taken just to fill the discussion time.

However, it became evident even on the first day of the course that it would not be able to cover all the topics in the syllabus within the short allotted time span. But do not despair because the master has generously allowed the students to continue the course at a future date with no extra fees incurred. There are many masters out there who teach based on theory. There are only a very few masters who can teach based on experience. As the aspiring students, you should consider which type of master you want to learn from before you part with your hard earned money and even harder to find Time.

"After studying so many Bazi courses with so many Masters, this is so far the BEST Bazi course I’ve ever attended.  Nothing comes close to it. If you think that you already knew a lot about Bazi and this is just another course about those structures, combinations and clashes, you are totally wrong!

To me, this course is not just another level of knowledge in Bazi, but more of enlightenment. It allows me to see things in Bazi like never before, more clearly and most importantly, much more in depth and accurate than what is taught by other Masters. My words cannot do this course justice. If you already knew a lot about Bazi and hungry for more advanced knowledge, I would urge you to take the first step and attend this course.

You will learn lots of things that books cannot teach you. I am sure you will be just as impressed as I am about what I had learnt in this course. It is so enjoyable that enough is never enough. Your perspective about Bazi will never ever be the same again.

The secrets imparted to us by Grandmaster Leyau is the result of his decades of studies, research and experience in this subtle art, and these secrets are worth its weight in gold.  I am grateful that he is revealing his lifelong secrets to us. He has shortened our learning curve through his systematic way of teaching, and most importantly, it is not just theory, theory and more theory. Every theory is illustrated with lots of real life examples to make sure we understand what we are learning. The amount of case studies we went thru in this 3 days course is enormous. You will learn to read not just the obvious charts, but also those subtle charts that are hard to read and often read wrongly by many other Masters.

Thank you very much Sifu for your guidance and teaching.  I’ve finally understand the real secrets of reading a Bazi Chart and just like many of your other loyal students, we look forward to learn more from you again soon.

Have a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year.

With Great Respect,

Initially, I have my quiet reservation about attending the Bazi Advanced Level course. This was probably due to my previous prior experience learning from other Bazi teachers yielding virtually unclear understanding and inaccurate interpretation leading one to unclear and uncertain analysis and the level of accuracy marginalized.

Based on the previous courses attended with CAFS, I have gained the confidence and respect for your credible teaching ability and hence, decided to attend both levels of the Bazi Course ( Basic & Advanced ).

I must say from the bottom of my heart, I am totally impressed with your ability and skillfulness once again in imparting a difficult to learn Bazi knowledge into an easy and structured approach to learning it. And after the class is over, I feel very much confident now why certain aspects which was unclear to me previously and suddenly, I am enlightened with amazing accuracy using your closely guarded secret of structured and yet easy to follow approach to interpret the Bazi Chart right down to the levels of Chart Structure Type, Regulating, Useful, happiness and harmful gods/elements. It is certainly AMAZING !!. My respectful Kudos to You, Grandmaster of Chinese Metaphysics.

Typically, the learning process moves through different stages from data to information to knowledge and then seek full understanding after some time. Most teachers I encountered only cover data to information levels. Such as requiring the students to keep referring to different tables after tables and no clear understanding how the concepts and principles come about to aid effective learning. Your special and yet easy & structured approach brings the student not just beyond the information level to knowledge but FULL UNDERSTANDING of what was taught in class which is only possible through live class environment. In addition, you took a passionate and personalized manner to engage ALL the students at their individual level of understanding and lead them from their initial fussy thoughts to CLEAR appreciation of HOW TO SEE the Bazi Chart such as what grade is the chart, what structure is the chart type, why transformation takes place and why no transformation and most importantly, the grand finale is putting up many real-life case studies to drive home the point to ensure that our understanding and confidence are not compromised and yet bring our appreciation of reading Bazi Chart to many levels higher before we started the course. I feel like I am watching a movie when we are in fact merely reading the Bazi Chart. I am deeply impressed and fully understanding what you mean now by reading chart is like looking at a picture.

In short, my inner thoughts for this course attended is summarized in the following Chinese proverb :
 不 因 渔 夫 引，怎 得 见 波 涛
 ( If there were no fishermen to guide us, how could one ever see the great waves of the ocean ? )

Many Many BIG THANK YOU, Grandmaster Francis Leyau. I will treasure what you have taught me and there is never a dull moment attending your courses.  

Best Regards and Wishing You and All at home a Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year ahead with good health and good opportunity.

Thank you for being my Master, my friends, and my guidance. I really benefit so much from the Advance Ba Zi Course. You blow my knowledge of Ba Zi to the highest level that I didn't have from other masters. Whether they don't have the knowledge or they are not willing to share the knowledge like you. Now, when reading a Ba Zi, I can really read it straight like a "picture" and I don't experience any "blockage" in interpretation like before as what my former classmates and students from other schools encounter!

Your way of teaching is so direct and helpful to master the detail secrets of Ba Zi, I can't believe that now I can interprets the "codes" so easy.

 Once again thank you Sifu for relieving my thirst of Ba Zi, you're just like oasis in the desert. Can't wait till another course that you are going to teach.

I would like to say a BIG Thank You SiFu for being the guiding light to lead this ship that had been lost for years in the sea of Bazi. After sailing through the seas of Bazi and was always hit by the numerous waves of Combinations, Crashes, Special Formations, Useful Gods etc... But never understanding what it mean and keep sailing in circles without actually understanding them.

I thought I know so much about Bazi and was confident enough that I do not require any further studies on the subject until you show us the light to get out of the rough sea.

With patience and dedications, you have shown us the knowledge layer by layer, just like peeling the onions until we get to the roots of Bazi knowledge. Initially I do not understand why you stress on the importance of building a strong foundation to get to the light at the end of the tunnel.

With the strong foundations that you have imparted and build solidly into us during the week long course, I can confidently read a person Bazi without reference to tones of Charts and Tables. I must acknowledge your simple down to earth teaching have guided me to the next level of my Bazi knowledge.

With years of accumulated cloud of uncertainty removed, now I can see the chart clearly as a whole picture and also feel the temperament within seconds and without making any guess with confidence. I was really amazed with the spot on accuracy on the Bazi reading using what you have imparted to us to tell the person relationship to Spouse, Children, Career & Money. I would want to say another BIG Thank you to you for being there as my Master, Teacher & friend without any reservations from the bottom of my heart.

Yours Respectful Student,

  What the students said about Bazi Level 1 on the 25,26 April 2009
 

“Although I’ve studied with many Bazi masters before, Grandmaster Francis Leyau has never failed to amaze me, even in a supposedly a “basic” Bazi Course.  No matter how much knowledge you have in this subject, I am sure you will be enlightened and your mind will spin again when Sifu shares his secrets and techniques in Bazi with you.  His methods in deciphering Bazi are worth its weight in gold.  Everything is precise and to the point with pin-point accuracy. These are real secrets of Bazi that were time-tested by a Teacher who knows this subject inside out from his vast experiences.  Frankly, words alone cannot express how good this course is.You will have to experience it in order to know the difference,

and from it, you will understand why sometimes your readings are not accurate because you do not understand “the secret” of Bazi yet.  After having attended many Bazi courses previously, this is so far the BEST. I certainly look forward to attending Part 2 of this course. Thanks Sifu for sharing your knowledge generously with us and ET for organizing this course (finally!)”

1. Arriving at the Temple of Learning: A Zen parable goes…
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), received a university professor who wanted to inquire about Zen. Nan-in poured tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, then, kept on pouring and pouring. The professor watched Nan-in, then could not restrain himself and said "Stop! What are you doing? Can't you see that the cup is full? No more tea will go in!"  
Nan-in replied, "Like this cup, you are full of your own opinions and impressions. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"  
There were many ex-Ba Zi students at this course who had already learnt not only the basics of Ba Zi but even up to advanced levels on the Mountain of Knowledge.

If any of us ex-Ba Zi students really want to learn from Master Leyau, we must be ready and willing to be humble, forget our pre-learnt knowledge and start to learn all over again. Otherwise, our prejudices in learning would be our own greatest blockade to learning the true discipline.

2. The Lesson itself…
The conduct of the course was simplicity itself - no fancy gimmicks, no high-tech laptops, state of the art projectors, endless slide shows or even microphones. Just the Master and the whiteboard - what a Zen experience!

The pace of the course may be summed up in one word and one word only - PASSIONATE! No tea breaks, no toilet breaks (if the student needed one, he/ she just went to the toilet without interrupting the Master or the other students). And yet no one complained or even missed the lack of a breather tea break - such was the commitment of the Master to teach and the passion of the students to learn

3. Leaving the Temple of Learning…
Finally, here is a Master who does not need modern computers to print Ba Zi charts to analyse them. The Master said that sometimes he recalled someone's chart because he had already analysed it before. There were times when he was asked his opinions about certain person’s   charts when he was engaged in doing some thing else (such as driving) and when he was told the layout of the chart, he would imagine the layout in his head and analyse the chart mentally.

At last, here is a Master who is at One with the chart. For aspiring Ba Zi students and practitioners, this is the level of analysis we should aspire to reach one day!

Simply an amazing class!  We were taught how to read a chart properly, to interpret based on the true Classics.  One among many examples was what to look for in reviewing women's Bazi. The explanation was crystal clear! I can hardly wait for the CAFS BaZi Level 2.

I'm very grateful to have finally found the real MASTER (must be my luck pillar) that I have been searching for.  The only regret I have is I that I didn’t find Master Leyau sooner.

Thank you Sifu for teaching us with dedication and passion!

Erica Vifie, Indonesia

 

Thank you Master Leyau for conducting your long-awaited BaZi Course. The percentage method you taught us in reading the 4-Pillars (Ba Zi) made understanding the process so simple, giving me real clarity.

 I now feel confident in my ability to interpret the Ba Zi Chart far more accurately.

 I look forward with great confidence in attending the CAFS Ba Zi Level 2 soon.

Cheers,

Many thanks for the opportunity to having met both of you and your wonderful team. Indeed, it was a nice experience and has provided us some of the most important missing links that we have been searching for over various years in learning Paht Chee in various schools.  Master Leyau has finally bridged that gap!

Sincerely
MCBA, the Philippines

Attending the CAFS Ba Zi Level One Course during the two days weekend, I have gained a variety of new perspectives on the subject though I am already familiar with subject previously.

The new perspectives learned has allowed me to gain deeper insights and enhance my understanding on why certain theories are manifested in a certain manner.

Though it is "basics" revisited, the skilful explanations of the basics by our Grandmaster Leyau brings me to understand the deeper and wider interpretive nuances of the Ten Gods and the significance of the Hidden Stems to another level of appreciation. 

His teaching methods have added a lot of fun, enjoyment and most importantly bring out the crux of the subject succinctly which most other experienced teachers, that I’ve come across, have apparent difficulties in explaining clearly the essentials, and loses the focus in the process. My deepest respect to Sifu on his solid and impressive forte in this area of Ba Zi expertise.  

 My short comment on the CAFS Ba Zi Level One is: “A BIG Thumbs Up! Hip Hip Hurrah!”

 I am certainly looking forward to the next level in the later part of this year.

 Many thanks and with deepest respect to Sifu!
