How to treat fortune telling

Q: A person's birthday was calculated by two amateur fortune tellers, but two different fates were calculated. What do you think of fortune telling? Is fate predestined or is it in your own hands?

Master Da 'an answered: Probably everyone has seen the Four Commandments of Departure. The first article in "Four Seasons from Fan" is about making a living. Fan was originally named Yuan and later renamed Mr. Fan. When he met Mr. Kong, he calculated his life accurately and achieved it in one year ... Then he thought his fate had been decided, so he was very passive. Later, when I met Zen master Yungu and told him about nature, he suddenly realized that fate could still be changed. Therefore, there is no need for a person to tell fortune.

This kind of fate, even if your original life is not so good, you will be ashamed, change your mentality, your behavior, and you will gradually get better; Or your original life was good, your thoughts are getting crooked, and your good life will turn into a bad life. Everything changes from heart to mind, which is the truth of Buddhism. Why count things that change? Your destiny is in your own hands. If you have good intentions and match your words with your deeds, your fate will get better and better. Life, a good life and a bad life are all things in dreams and are all false. It is our best goal to study Buddhism well and be a great awakened person in the Elysium.
