Is there a conflict between Feng Shui and Buddhism?

Yes

The Buddha said in Ananda Asking Buddha for Good or Bad Luck that people who study Buddhism should not engage in activities such as predicting good or bad luck, watching geomantic omen and choosing auspicious days. Because those who study Buddhism, if they really study Buddhism, will always be protected by dharma, and they will be lucky at six o'clock and have all the best. They don't need to choose luck at all, and they don't need Feng Shui at all. On the contrary, if you always believe in Feng Shui, the protector will leave you when he sees you shrink back, so people are trapped by Feng Shui. The same is true of choosing an auspicious day. Once you believe this, you will be trapped for 28 nights, unable to move, the guardian will leave you, and it is unlucky for you to ask for luck yourself.

One more thing, people who engage in geomantic omen, choose good and bad luck, and divination basically can't get tangible benefits from learning Buddhism. They only learn Buddhism verbally, but in fact they are far away. Around them, there are only those little gods and demons, and there are no protectors.
