Hanlu Temple · eighty lots

Mahavira Hall — Lot 7

This tube asks about peace of mind. Not fortune or misfortune — just when the thing in your chest can be put down.

Mahavira Hall · Lot 7Poor

心头块垒积如山独自承担太艰难找个信得过的说开口之时山已删

What it means: Do not carry it alone. Saying it out loud helps.

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.

All Poor lots

The reading

You have been carrying this by yourself for too long. Find someone you trust and finish the sentence. It may not solve anything, but the mountain gets shorter.

This lot gives no answer. It only suggests you eat properly and sleep first.

How to read this grade

Poor describes the present, not your fate. Its use is to tell you to pull back a little, stop adding to the position, and move again when the conditions have changed.

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 Mahavira 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.
