Dear Anon,
The knot symbolises eternal life.
It is not uncommon for many Chinese practitioners in my country or in nearby countries to mix `religious' significance of symbols or objects with Feng Shui.
As I mentioned, if one `hires' a Feng Shui practitioner deeply rooted in religion, invariably, their religious influence may be `mixed' with Feng Shui.
The two most common ones are:
1. Advising their clients to place the Ba Gua mirror on all the houses (to ward off evil).
2. Use of such symbols as the `Eight Lucky' Symbolic Buddha symbols in Feng Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
P.S. For those who do not know the history of Buddhism, just to let u know that Buddhism / Buddha belief originated from Inda.
