Buddhism doesn't tell fortune _ Buddhism doesn't tell fortune, please see feng shui.

Why does Buddhism prohibit divination?

Because the center of Buddhism is the four noble truths, the eight right paths and the twelve karma. Finding the fundamental way to get rid of pain and then getting rid of it is a learning method. Divination is to better predict future results. This idea is contrary to the central idea of Buddhism. Buddhism pays more attention to the cause of pain than the result, and thinks that there is only one way to relieve pain, that is, to break ignorance. How can there be painful results without painful reasons? Then the significance of divination in advance is no longer established.

Therefore, true Buddhism forbids fortune-telling to avoid evil spirits.
