Most average luo pans contain only 3000 characters. Master Yap s luo pan contains six thousand characters. If Master Yap can successfully make this luo pan affordable - it would, in my opinion be a huge step forward for all feng shui practitioners. It would be a major event in the feng shui world. The Masters formulas are contained in the compilation of rings around the Luo pan.
Every ring contains valuable information and formulas.
Some of this information is given in code, but these do not present too much of a problem these days since the key to these codes is now more readily made available to students who learn to use the luo pan. In olden times of course these codes were revealed only to favoured students of the masters. Thus were lineages and schools of feng shui created. Today however, with the explosion of interest in feng shui taking place within a modern scenario where information can be made available so speedily, Masters such as Master Yap Cheng Hai are fast passing on their knowledge to the world. But the information contained in the luo pan is only one side of the picture.
