I heard that religious people are better at predicting than charlatans. Why?

This is what I heard: some people in religious circles do know how to use numbers, just as many people in academic circles know how to change things. However, just like people who know Yi Li in academic circles, most people in religious circles are very knowledgeable, and generally they will not use several tricks easily. They emphasize that people want something, do something, and don't do something.

For example: First, Master Taixu is proficient in the Book of Changes and has predicted for Chiang Kai-shek twice. Because of his accurate prediction, Chiang Kai-shek strengthened his belief in Buddhism. Secondly, the famous Yao and Futucheng in history made many predictions for their king, which were confirmed by facts, thus strengthening the king's belief and support for Buddhism. Third, when the Buddha was alive, he also predicted the rise and fall of this religion. Fourthly, there are many practitioners who are famous for their prophecies in religious circles such as Taoism.

What does all this mean? First, it shows that some practitioners in religious circles are really proficient in numerology, not in general, but understand reason and interest, and they either don't use it or use it for public interests. Second, while seeing their exposure to Yi Li, we should also see that they are exposed to the truth of life and the universe, and they are calm and happy about the quality of personnel. This is their most essential place. Skills are only their path, and accessibility is their avenue. Third, we should also see that religious people predict the future only for special people and special events, and they will never use it in general, let alone use skills as a means of making a living. A charlatan is different. On the one hand, they make a living by using tricks. On the other hand, they also cheat money under the guise of tricks, and their character cultivation can be imagined.

Based on this, we can also clearly see why the Buddha earnestly taught his disciples not to divine, tell fortune, look at the sky and predict good or bad luck. Can the cause and effect of life be ended by prediction? Only by settling down, believing in Buddhism and practicing honestly is the right way. The man of practice is surrounded by the protective body of the heavens, which is auspicious at six o'clock. What are the disadvantages?
