Dear Anon,

1. As the saying goes Many roads lead to Rome.

2. Similarly there are different methods of taking compass directions. If followed closely will come to the same results.

For those who know how to use the Luo Pan to take readings, then that is fine i.e. learned from a proper source.

3. I always believe that one must follow a method `totally'. It is best to avoid `reading' between the lines i.e. hear of one method, read it half-way and continue with another method.

4. The method proposed in this site is listed under:

https://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm

The above method is soley based on using an ordinary compass.

Let's not mix an apple and an orange and come to the `wrong' conclusion that just because one uses the Luo Pan to take readings from the main door (facing and sitting direction), this does not automatically apply to the method used with the ordinary compass and assume that the method used must be the same.

5. In my opinion, the compass on the Luo pan is small and difficult to get a correct reading as accurately as using an ordinary compass. The way it is held and not at eye level especially with more `acurate' compasses with line of sight makes the Luo pan reading (in my opinion less reliable).

6. I aways mentioned that one must read the `instructions' fully and not mix instructions. If one follows `both' instructions properly one should come to the same results.

7. Furthermore, many users come from all over the world and we do not expect each one to invest in a Luo pan. While an ordinary compass is reasonably cheap and considered a universal tool.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
