Wealth Hall · Lot 3Good
元宝盈怀莫自满散财结缘路更宽今日播下三分善来年收得十倍还
What it means: Give some away. Money gathers where character does.
The verse is kept in Chinese. It is a four-line regulated poem — rhyme and metre are part of the thing itself, and they do not survive translation. The reading below is written in English.
The reading
When there is a surplus, think first about passing a little on. Help someone, shave a point off a price, and the road widens later. This is a year for giving and for building ties, not for showing off what you have.
Wealth lots rarely promise a windfall. They talk about keeping, and about work.
How to read this grade
Good sits one step below Excellent: the direction is right, but the work has to be carried with diligence and patience. If the verse talks about keeping, gathering or holding steady, that is the point of the lot.
All eighty lots are lines written for Hanlu Temple. They are here to help you put a question into words — no promise, and no medical, financial or legal advice.
Draw this lot in the hall
Walk to the Wealth Hall, sit down on a cushion and put your palms together. The tube of lots stands by the altar. A lot you drew in the same hall on the same day is remembered, so you can come back and read it again.
