How I Simplify the complex Yijing

 

How I Simplify the complex Yijing

In 154 pages, this is how I simplify and explain Yijing:

1. Use only English, because the Chinese text is using old Chinese, and few can understand

2. Keep it short, the book has to be light too, at just 86 grams, it is lighter than most handphones. In just A5 size (half of A4), you can fit this into anywhere

3. Avoid going deep into the 64 hexagrams, where everyone gets lost. Instead, I explain Yijing around it: talking about morals, applications, Yin and Yang, how the Ba Gua came about, and how to read the 64 Gua easily.

4. Focus on layman's application, especially the part on divination. You can use Yijing to solve your problems, and also consult the author FREE-of-Charge.

5. Use modern technology of random number generator instead of cumbersome and complex use of coins, sticks and throwing of dice.

6. Make it inspiring, the comments by the readers at the back of the book and page 3 are what I'm proud of

7. Go for Real. The chapter on 5 Moving Elements or Wu Xing gives people a real understanding of what really grows and counters.

8. Make the book affordable, at just S$19.95 instead of $39.45. Everyone can afford this book easily, and you cannot afford not to read this book, because Yijing is our life. Get the book details at http://asiatrainers.org/yjbook

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
