2. The benefits of learning I-Ching
(1) Life guide.
Life has ups and downs. Nobody can live a life without adversity. Although everyone likes to have all the splendor in the world, life cannot always be smooth. Through the study of I-Ching, you can reduce the chance of making mistakes and avoid misfortune. Especially when things turn sour, always keep a low-profile.
(2) To improve your analytical skills and your ability to adapt.
Predicaments are common in life. If you know duality and apply it in life, you will know that everything is within the scope of "duality", meaning it's either positive or negative. You will know what course to take to avoid disasters. Examples of duality : high and low, young and old, sun and moon, top and bottom, cold and hot, husband and wife, water and fire, good and bad, smoothness and adversity, etc.
(3) Predict the future and seize the opportunities.
I-Ching serves as an ancient Chinese method of divination. It can foresee the developing situation and guide you in preparing your contingency plans. Moreover, you will take your life to the next level through learning I-Ching.
3.卜卦 DIY
3-1.骰子卜卦法
(1)卜卦时应虔诚,空间安静且心情平静,问题单一且明确,不是选择题。每事一日一问,勿反覆卜卦或变更字句,但同样地重复询问与卜卦;尽量在白天卜卦。
(2)卜卦程序:
a.请示卦神的事,要先拟定,才不至于混乱。尽量用是非题方式询问,而不是选择题。
(註:卜卦祈祷文,有人拜请四圣,即伏羲、文王、周公、孔子;也有版本以「卦神」称唿。这里以「卦神」称唿,取其方便性,实质无异。)
b.准备一颗骰子、笔、纸与玻璃杯。
c.念诵祈祷文 (只需念诵1次)
