“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!

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.

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!

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.
