    Buddhism believes that fate is in one's own hands, accumulate virtue and do good, and keep abstaining from evil, and fate will definitely improve, so fortune telling is meaningless.

    In addition, monks have precepts and are not allowed to tell fortunes.

    The purpose of becoming a monk is to change one's life and transcend fate, not to tell one's fate, and the main reason is that fortune-telling will make people cling to one's fate, and attaching one's life is to cling to one's self, and to cling to one's self is to violate the Buddhist teachings of selflessness, and one cannot attain enlightenment, nor can one stop suffering.

    That's why the Diamond Sutra says, you can't see people like me, and those who live with all beings like each other, because these are all fateful phases.

    Because the monks understand the true meaning of fate, and know that fortune-telling will not help in any way in the future. Even if you can calculate accurately, you can't change the fate that has been set, so I don't believe in fortune telling.

    Destiny is like driving yourself to a certain place and starting a route that you have set for navigation. People who understand this truth, will they still spend money to tell fortunes?

    The four major Buddhist families are empty, of course, they don't believe in fortune-telling, a Buddhist term that refers to the emptiness of everything in the world. (In ancient India, earth, water, fire, and wind were the four elements that make up the universe, and Buddhism called them the Four Greats.) )

    You are mistaken, the monks themselves are changing their lives, and they don't need to tell their fortunes at all, so they can't talk about whether they can believe it or not, and the real monks, their lives are not accurate.

    The monks have seen through the red dust.

    I don't care about fame and fortune.

    That's why you won't believe fortune telling.

    The reason for not telling fortunes to those who believe in Buddhism is that they should be self-reliant and should be in control of their own destiny. Destiny has to be controlled by oneself, which is useless, but there is a sense of dependence in the future. The heart of the past is unattainable, the heart of the future is unattainable, we should work hard now, and we should not rely on this fate.

    The lives of any monks cannot be counted, and the lives of all those who study Buddhism cannot be counted. You listen to "Lengyan" today, the great goodness - changed! You go out tomorrow to kill a chicken - evil, changed! It's different! Therefore, the life of a practitioner cannot be counted.

    Then today you participated in the Lengyan Festival, and your life before you came was changed, and there is no more! Because your wisdom is different, your future is different. Your karma has been completely reversed, and this is called the elimination of karma!

    So many people want to change their destiny (say) how difficult it is! It's not impossible to change your fate, and you can change your fate after you attend a festival like this.

    I carried Leng Yan and changed my fate. Change once every time you open it, and change it once every time you open it. Changed to the present, if it is said that it has become one life at a time, there are now a hundred and eighty generations.

    If it were higher, then there would be no more lives to count, and the former (me) would no longer exist!

    Then if you look at my Qiankun now, it won't be able to (count). My Qiankun and my wish are just one way. There's only one thing in my mind, and no one can stop me, why?

    We must build the mandala, we must start the third 100-day Lengyan Festival, we must popularize Lengyan, this is my life now. Then you can't change anyone, you can't count! This pattern is already under this world, and it can't be changed, it has become a certainty.

    So I'm going to say this, the time has come! It looks like it's going to happen! That's basically it.

    It can be seen, how did this fate come about? From the beginning of the heart to promote the Dharma and benefit the life to the present, my life has changed! Changed to a life like I am now.

    So every sentence on the classics is worth a thousand gold! Let's learn! Use it!

    You've earned it today! It really is! (Applause).

    So, here we have to know that our fate is in our own hands!

    Seeing that your Buddha has seen through the red dust, the six roots are pure, you don't need to believe in any fate, and some enlightened monks can understand themselves and don't need fortune telling. Thank you.

    Why doesn't fortune teller give it to people who study Buddhism, just because the Buddha knows everything, so he can't give the Buddha any more calculations.

Becoming a monk is a house of troubles, a house of desires, a house of the six realms, not a house of a house, Buddhism emphasizes substance rather than form, the six roots of a monk are not pure, and the afflictions increase, even if the form is a monk, it is useless, and it has nothing to do with life and death. On the contrary, the layman at home, respecting the upper and lower harmony, filial piety to parents, brothers and sisters, no quarrel with others, no seeking from the world, the six roots are quiet, there are no troubles, the Buddha said that this is the true monkhood, and the Dharma is internal learning, is the cultivation of the mind, not the form. Becoming a monk is a good thing, but it also depends on whether the karma is ripe, the monk is called the teacher of heaven and man, the teacher of heaven and earth, and the merit is great, but the purpose of many people to become a monk is not to continue the life of the Buddha, but to be greedy for merit, temple property, fame and fortune, greedy for the children and grandchildren of the monks, if the monks do not practice well, and are infected with the world's "wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep", they will definitely fall in the future, and it will be very troublesome.

Usually fortune tellers will investigate your affairs in advance before telling your fortune, and then give you how much money you want to give him after you finish calculating, he will give you to eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, this kind of is more common, some people will also look at your face to guess your things, guess in the money to make money, guess not in the case will not be good, generally you take the initiative to tell fortunes, then people know that you have something wrong. Like in modern times, there are not many people who can study the gossip of the I Ching, and even if there is, they generally will not come out to tell fortunes, so it is better to rely on oneself in everything.
