This tube asks about timing. The thing you want to start and have not — say it once, inside.
Dragon King Hall · Lot 2Good
龙宫深处宝珠明静待风雷便可行万事俱备东风近一跃天门浪自平
What it means: Nearly ready. A short wait, then go.
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
Almost everything is in place; one last wind is missing. Have it all prepared so you can move the day it arrives. Do not change your mind at this point.
The Dragon King's lots are about water: when it arrives, the channel is already made.
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 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.
