Everyday Life
Can tunnel breakthrough stones really help with conception or wealth, and why does Master Shengyuan view them differently?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
I would not conclude directly that a stone caused an effect simply because someone obtained a tunnel breakthrough stone and later became pregnant or had better luck. These are stones left from breaking through a tunnel, to which folk belief assigns meanings of seeking children or wealth. Events occurring in sequence do not establish what caused the change.
A client once brought one, and Dao Xuan and I felt uncomfortable after coming into contact with it. From our view of energy, blasting a mountain and disturbing the ground can be understood as injuring the land. We therefore do not treat such rubble as a treasure full of positive energy merely because 'breakthrough' sounds auspicious. This describes our feelings and religious judgment about that particular stone, not an individual examination of every stone.
I have also mentioned that gemstones might be present and individual circumstances may differ, so these need separate consideration. If others choose to believe, that is their choice. I hope people understand why our view differs, rather than rush to buy simply because a popular claim circulates.
If the real concern is having a child, first return to both partners' bodies, daily lives, and shared wishes. Praying to deities can provide support through faith. One object alone cannot settle every aspect of conception.
