Is it accurate to count toothpicks for fortune telling?

Of course not.

This is the easiest way to verify whether a sign is correct: you go to different temples and ask the same thing. If the logo is credible, you should get the same logo.

Obviously, such a simple and effective verification method, bidding is still classified as feudal superstition, which means it is not allowed.

It's amazing how accurate I am when I go to the temple and when I don't.

In fact, as long as you have a deep understanding of the Book of Changes, it is not just a simple numerology. Anyone who can really understand the principle of "harmony between man and nature" in the Book of Changes should know that "drawing lots" also belongs to the category of prediction of the Book of Changes.

Because everything in the world is not accidental, the lottery process seems to be full of contingency, but the result is inevitable.

What is the essential difference between this and the six-point prediction made by throwing copper coins and the plum blossom prediction casually seen or heard?

However, whether it is hexagrams, plum blossoms, Taoism or Liu Ren's golden formula, it is supported by an extremely complete academic system of Yijing. The principle of divination or sacrifice is completely consistent with "drawing lots", but they pay more attention to the deduction and prediction of the future "art" level.

The lottery focuses on "intention". Although it is independent, it is rough compared with other mathematical techniques.

Therefore, the requirements for "heart" are particularly strict. In the Yi-ology system, similar divination methods include "divination outside", "measuring words" and "incense inspection".

Because the "lottery" pays more attention to "intention", whether the lottery can be sincere, playful and serious has a great influence on the accuracy of the lottery results.

In fact, when making a six-year forecast, we will also pay special attention to what kind of thinking the forecaster has done. Forecasters all know the truth that "no irregular hexagrams are allowed to be read".

So if you want to sign, the first thing to do is to draw lots sincerely.

Secondly, the place where the signs are set is also very important. Generally speaking, the lottery provided by Dharma Dojo is more effective.

What is the Buddhist Dojo? It is a Taoist temple or temple with true practitioners in tin. If there are some fake monks or monks, or unruly monks and nuns, it is difficult for them to open "lottery tickets" to have any effect. Because in the Buddhist Dojo, there will be many blessings from immortals and heaven. It's easier to draw a spiritual symbol.

At present, the popular lottery methods are Guanyin, Guandi, Wong Tai Sin, Lv Zu, Yuelao and Mazu. These are usually made of bamboo strips and wooden strips with batch numbers written on them, and then stored in barrels.

During the lottery, the forecaster shakes the lottery bucket and waits for the bamboo stick to jump out by itself, or directly draws out the bamboo stick, then inquires the sign number according to the sign number, and then makes a good or bad judgment according to the content of the sign number.

This leads to a new problem, that is, signing a contract. In fact, there are many places to pay attention to here. It is not that everything will be fine if you get the "upper card", but that everything will be fine if you get the "lower card".

An interpreter must have a certain knowledge of easy learning in order to match a "signature" with your actual situation.

Of course, "drawing lots" is not limited to Taoist temples or temples. It was originally a kind of divination, so many forecasters also provide lottery service. The accuracy of lottery results will of course be closely related to the moral level and professional level of the forecaster.

Speaking of Guanyin sign, there is another legend. It is said that the earliest spiritual position was only 36, which was later inferred as 108. However, eight of the spiritual positions of 108 were either a blessing or a curse, and ordinary people could not get them at all. Moreover, the person who untied the card was eliminated because the outdoor unit was to be condemned. So now the spell is exactly 100.

"Draw lots" is the same as Liu Yi's prediction. You can do it yourself or let others do it, and the result is the same.

There is only one key point here, that is, the tester must have a prediction idea.

A lot of practice has proved that even if you don't draw lots yourself, but find someone else to draw lots for you, the lot you draw reflects the tester's business and has nothing to do with the person who draws lots for you.
