Information on the Mangpai Foundation Course

[JLim (Darma W)]

This is called "Foundation course", but it goes beyond what many in the market consider as foundation.
This online course has been running since mid-2016, with students from Asia, Europe, North America and Australia.
The techniques in the Foundation course will be applicable to many aspects of life. 
You can call this intermediate to advanced level course, and it's pretty much a complete course.

Teaching mode : interactive discussion group in www.fivearts.org, with many case studies posted by students
Duration          : 1 year and beyond.  Discussion group remains open for you after this period.
Starting date    : no specific date, you can join now.
Cost                : € 850.  Please contact me for payment mode.

I have another course called Mangpai Marriage Course, that covers all aspects of marriage (including divorce etc.). 
There will be some concepts about the Marriage topic in the Foundation course, but not as detailed as in this other course. 
More details on this other course in What is the Mangpai Marriage Course?

As a current particant, I would definitely recommend the course to anyone interested in authentic divination knowledge. Excellent supprot from Darma,too. Enjoy!

[WuXu]

Dear @JLim,

I'm interested in the course, and would like to know what prior knowledge do I need to have to start with the course of Mangpai?

Thank you.

[JLim (Darma W)]

Hi WuXu, based on your current topic discussion, I can see that you have more than enough Bazi background.  You are able to plot the charts (with software), and you even use the same term LP (10-year Luck Pillar), etc. 

Yes, you are ready to join!

[WuXu]

Thank you, @JLim

Recently I started studying 5 series books about BaZi from JY, and as soon as I finish them & gain some more knowledge, I'm taking your course.

Best wishes.
