PROPHECIES OF 2009 – THE YEAR OF BUFFALO

PROPHECIES OF 2009 – THE YEAR OF BUFFALO

Summing up of Thien Su

From the predictions of members of the Oriental Philosophy Forum:

Thien Su, Linh Trang, Vo Thuong, Thanh Phuc, Mai Quang Huy

THE WORLD

Natural Disasters

This year 2009 the year of Buffalo – will have many uncertain and serve events in terms of natural disasters. Frost, storm, floods will happen more frequently.

There will be great upheavals about storms, floods, earthquakes though not only of the intensity as that in Tu Xuyen China last year, but rather severe. Great earthquakes may still happen mainly in North East, Centre and South Asia.

The countries which often have floods, storms and earthquake in Asia such as countries in East and South East Asia or Central America or the South of the USA should be cautious of natural disasters with higher intensity caused by super storms happening more frequently.

Accidents

Accidents such as labour or traffic accidents will reduce. Other accidents such as ferries sinking, aero planes crashing, fire, trains turning over will be more severe. Countries, in general should be watchful over social evils with their quantity and severity.

Epidemics

Different kinds of local epidemics in the regions in the world still exits but not very severe. Especially in regions as South Asia and South East Asia, there may appear local epidemics in each region. Such diseases as bird flu, buffalo diseases (lở mồm long móng), cholera may appear with low frequency. Countries should have plan to prevent strange diseases that may appear.

Economy

In 2009, the global economy is still severely imbalanced.

2008 was the year that big business firms went bankrupt. This year will witness the loss of the middle size firms. Governments of the countries, especially the Great Powers should have measures to prevent; if not there will be immeasurable consequences on social security.

However, we may say that it is the very economic, crisis starting from 2008 – predicted by the Oriental Philosophy Forum – that will be a premise for a new way of economic management, a more effective one for human beings in the future.

Summing up from Vo Thuong, Thanh Phuc

Oil price will be controlled, though reduced greatly as compared with the period of its highest price. However it will not be go down to the extent that will cause oil price crisis in the countries exporting oil. The probability of the average oil price will be in the range from 60 to 80 USD/one barrel.

Price of commodities continues to reduce but still can not balance with the purchasing power of recessionary economy.

The Security Markets continue to develop but not strongly. There will be markets that have to close within periods.

USD will be raised as compared with Euro. But not over 10%.

Society

The situation will be as in 2008 but more severe, owing to the consequences of 2008 economic crisis – the social contradictions will be strongly revealed in some countries in the world due to problems of social security and its solutions.

There will be many countries falling into the social, political crises and will leave historical stamps.

Culture

The trends of cultural exchanging in the world continue to develop.

Traditional cultural values are respected.

Science and Technique

Military: Hi-tech weapons will continue to appear as in the scientific fiction stories. This will make kind of weapons such as ballistic missiles with the nuclear warhead no longer threatening weapons.

As in 2008 – Scientific and technical inventions will increasingly have a tendency of making sophisticated things. There will be many very original inventions in 2009. There may appear robots which very much resemble man. This will be a premise for human being to put a question full of wisdom for themselves: Who are human being? Where do they come from?

Human Disasters

This year, mankind has to prevent the possibility of war breaking out between nations. However, the extent of war in such “hot areas” as Afghanistan will reduce at the end of year of year and end after two years (2011). Iraq will go into the period of stability and building the country. The deadlocks between South and North Korea will be broken.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

President Bush will escape from the curse of Tecumseh for those US Presidents elected in the years ending with 00. He will no longer suffer from the right and wrong judgments for him in his presidency and will be admired by history as a president bringing honor for the country.

President Obama – though having threats for him, my predictions (summing up from predictions of Linh Trang and Hinyheo) is that there will be no hurt to his health and body in the year 2009 – Year of Buffalo. The next year – Year of Tiger will have predictions on his security.

JAPAN

Summing up from Mai Quang Huy

This year Japan will be the country to overcome the economic crisis the most effectively among the Great Powers. The Stability of Japanese economy will have the effect of considerably reducing the Global economic recession and make contributions to the stabilization of South East Asian Economy in the end of this year. They will promote international relationship and influence other countries.

Science and Technique

This year Japanese will have surpassing inventions in the field of daily life products

Some comments on the global economic recession from 2008 and in 2009

The global economic recession from 2008 was officially predicted at the end of 2007 on Oriental Philosophy Forum. But the specific characteristics of the recession this time is quite different from that in the year 1936 of the previous century. There will be no humanistic crisis – the indirect causes of a devastating war as in the previous crisis.

The reason is that food for human beings is secured to some extent.

That is to secure one part of the Earth Element (Rice is the result of Earth Element) as compared to the situation of 1936 according to methodology of Oriental philosophy. However, the crisis this time when may cause crises on social relationships. Because, when economy develops – that means Yin prospers – but there is no form of balance – that is Yang reopens – such as ways of economic management, distribution of products in society, legal regulations and mechanisms ect to “Balance Yin and Yang” then “Yin wins then surely Yang will be in disorder”. If the leaders of the Great Powers in the World soon find the solutions to balance Yin and Yang thus crisis will soon end, not over 2010, the Year of Tiger. If not, the long lasting of the crisis will cause bad consequences.

Cháu chào bác Thiên Sứ,

Bác cho cháu hỏi một chút ạ: bài dịch này là để gửi ra nước ngoài hay chỉ để post trên diễn đàn thôi ạ? Vì cháu thấy có đoạn ghi:

nếu bài này gửi ra nước ngoài thì phải ghi tỉnh Tứ Xuyên theo phiên âm tiếng Anh chứ ạ, sao lại để tiếng Việt không dấu ạ?

Thắc mắc nhỏ, có gì sai mong bác bỏ qua ạ :blink:

Tại chú không rành tiếng Anh. Nên chỉ đặt niềm tin vào người dịch.

Hoàng Thảo cho chú biết Tu Xuyen tiếng Anh viết thế nào. Để chú sửa. Bài này chỉ để trong diễn đàn. Nhưng vì tính chất của mạng có tính quốc tế nên có thể coi như gửi nước ngoài tại chỗ. Bởi vậy cũng rất cần chuẩn về ngôn ngữ.

Chú cảm ơn Hoàng Thảo đã góp ý.
