Fortune telling Buddhism

Why don't Buddhists advocate fortune telling, and why is a sutra of Buddhism handed down in secret?

Recently, someone asked, "Master, don't Buddhists respect fortune telling? Why is the book "One Palm Sutra of Buddhism" still circulating? 」

It is true that Buddhism does not advocate fortune telling, because practice itself is a process of changing fate.

A palm sutra of Buddhism, also known as "seeing life and palm gold", is included in the fifty-ninth volume of the Continued Tibetan Sutra. Its author is not Dharma Master, but thich nhat hanh in the Tang Dynasty. Yes, that's the awesome man who is called a scientist among monks. He is also a disciple of Xu Mituo Buddha and Jin Gangzhi among the three masters of the tantric Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, the author of the Great Sun Classic in the Tang Dynasty, and the editor of Dayanli.

Then why did thich nhat hanh compile Life in the Palme d 'Or?

Before the Tang Dynasty, when choosing disciples, Buddhists generally observed their karma to see if they were suitable for becoming monks. But not everyone who is a teacher has such a profound concentration, so in view of this, thich nhat hanh wrote this book "Seeing Life as a Palm of Gold". According to this book, we can roughly understand the karma of a monk's past life, so as to judge whether this person is suitable for becoming a monk.

Thich nhat hanh said at the beginning of Regaining Life as the Golden Palm: However, anyone who becomes a monk can choose the diagram of becoming a monk (painted in Regaining Life as the Golden Palm) as evidence. If one or two of the ten religions of Buddhism are allowed to become monks, because this person was predestined friends with Buddhism in his last life. If ten people don't have knowledge of Buddhism, such people become monks, which is to slander the holy religion and pretend to talk about Buddhism. Of course, if there are people with extraordinary personality and outstanding intelligence, this is not the limit. If you are kind-hearted and wise, you can get twice the result with half the effort in this life even if you didn't learn Buddhism in your previous life.

It can be seen that the original intention of thich nhat hanh's compilation of "Deliver Gold at My Destiny" is to facilitate the selection of monk materials.

The top ten Buddhist knowledge mentioned in Seeing Life as Golden Palm are: knowledge of heaven, knowledge of trinity, knowledge of goodness, knowledge of abbot, knowledge of bodhi, knowledge of fortune, knowledge of starting a family, knowledge of disaster relief, knowledge of achievement and knowledge of Buddhism.

The top ten Buddhist teachings represent different types of Buddhist talents, such as managing temples, preaching the scriptures, or achieving Buddhism with the will of the Buddha. Does the teacher use this as a way to judge whether believers have a relationship with Buddhism? What kind of talents are the newcomers?

Therefore, for people who believe in Buddhism, "seeing life with one palm of gold" is similar to the existence of "ice guide", which is helpful to choose monks.

Of course, many algorithms derived from the name of Hokkekyo in later generations are not within the scope of Buddhism. I won't go into details here.
