A strongly-worded gardening taboo
We know nothing about gardening—we could barely keep a mongo plant alive in Science class—but after Rene pointed us to this bit from the 1,000-year-old Japanese text on gardening, Sakuteiki, gardening sounds fascinating.
Regarding the placement of stones there are many taboos. If so much as one of these taboos is violated, the master of the house will fall ill and die, and his land will fall into desolation and become the abode of devils.
We like a manual that doesn’t mince words.

Do you know that the practice of feng shui, which literally means wind water, is the practice of placement of the dead? Like oro plata mata, with feng shui, burying your ancestors must conform with certain beliefs on the way the wind and water flows.
Wala lang. parang gardening din ng hapon siguro.
