Hanlu Temple · eighty lots

Dragon King Hall — Lot 1

This tube asks about timing. The thing you want to start and have not — say it once, inside.

Dragon King Hall · Lot 1Excellent

春雷一响雨滂沱旱地逢霖万物苏正是扬帆好时节乘时奋起莫蹉跎

What it means: The moment has come. Move.

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 Excellent lots

The reading

The rain has already fallen. Do the thing now instead of waiting for every condition to be perfect. This wave, once you are on it, carries you three years.

The Dragon King's lots are about water: when it arrives, the channel is already made.

How to read this grade

Excellent is the highest of the four bands, and the rarest. It means the timing, the people around you and your own frame of mind all line up. It does not guarantee an outcome — it says this road has little resistance and is worth walking to the end.

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 Dragon King 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.
