evil eye protection

[myfs_146081]

sir,
In Indian homes , it is very common to hang a dangerous face like portrait at the front of the house. Astrologers here say that it will protect the house from evil eye, especially the newly constructed ones. It is basically a face of a dangerous man with his tongue out to scare away evil eye.
Do you believe this to be an evil eye protector, or will this discourage good qi from entering the house?. Like in feng shui we hang a mirror on the face of the house to deflect bad energy. Why does it deflect only bad energy and not good energy ?
Thanks for your time.

In my opinion, the concept of evil eye differs greatly in many cultures.
And the use &/or beliefs in an "evil eye" extends from the early Romans, the Greeks, Israelites, Tibetian, Turkish, Iranian, Muslimand a dozen or more countries BUT not the Chinese. The closest the Chinese have is the twin door gods to protect the home or the use of various types of ba gua mirror(s).
The evil eyehas more to do with beliefs and culture or astrology.
China or Chinese culture does not use nor featureprominentlythe "evil eye". So you asked the wrong question in the wrong forum. As I said, earlier to each, their culture.
In Singapore, we do also have a predominantly Indian community and be it Indianhindus or muslims seldom if any practice such things.
