Buddhism on vasthu shastra Vastu shastra (vāstu śāstra) is "a traditional Hindu system of architecture".

Did Lord Buddha debunk vasthu shastra? If not, what are some teachings made by Lord Buddha on the same? If Buddhism does not have an opinion on the topic, opinions of members are appreciated
The Indian Vasthu Shastra and the Chinese Feng Shui are known as geomancy in English.

In DN 2, this is known as "vatthuvijjā" in Pali, which in Sanskrit is presumably, "vasthuvidya" or, knowledge or science of vasthu (the science of building sites).

The Buddha forbade monks from practising geomancy in DN 2 (translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu), calling it an "animal art" or "debased art":


  "Whereas some contemplatives &amp; brahmans, living off food given in
  faith, maintain themselves by wrong livelihood, by such "animal"
  arts as: reading marks on the limbs [e.g., palmistry]; reading omens
  and signs; interpreting celestial events [falling stars, comets];
  interpreting dreams; reading features of the body [e.g., phrenology];
  reading marks on cloth gnawed by mice; offering fire oblations,
  oblations from a ladle, oblations of husks, rice powder, rice grains,
  ghee, and oil; offering oblations from the mouth; offering
  blood-sacrifices; making predictions based on the fingertips;
  geomancy; making predictions for state officials; laying demons in a cemetery; placing spells on spirits; earth-skills [divining water
  and gems?]; snake-skills, poison-skills, scorpion-skills, rat-skills,
  bird-skills, crow-skills; predicting life spans; giving protective
  charms; casting horoscopes — he abstains from wrong livelihood, from
  "animal" arts such as these.


Another translation of DN 2 by Bhikkhu Bodhi:


  “Whereas some recluses and brahmins, while living on the food offered
  by the faithful, earn their living by a wrong means of livelihood, by
  such debased arts as:
  
  
  prophesying long life, prosperity etc., or the reverse, from the marks on a person’s limbs, hands, feet, etc.;
  divining by means of omens and signs;
  making auguries on the basis of thunderbolts and celestial portents;
  interpreting ominous dreams;
  telling fortunes from marks on the body;
  making auguries from the marks on cloth gnawed by mice;
  offering fire oblations;
  offering oblations from a ladle;
  offering oblations of husks, rice powder, rice grains, ghee and oil to the gods;
  offering oblations from the mouth;
  offering blood-sacrifices to the gods;
  making predictions based on the fingertips;
  determining whether the site for a proposed house or garden is propitious or not;
  making predictions for officers of state;
  laying demons in a cemetery;
  laying ghosts;
  knowledge of charms to be pronounced by one living in an earthen house;
  snake charming;
  the poison craft, scorpion craft, rat craft, bird craft, crow craft;
  foretelling the number of years that a man has to live;
  reciting charms to give protection from arrows;
  reciting charms to understand the language of animals
  
  
  he abstains from such wrong means of livelihood, from such debased
  arts. This too pertains to his moral discipline.
