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.蔔卦 DIY
3-1.骰子蔔卦法
(1)蔔卦時應虔誠,空間安靜且心情平靜,問題單一且明確,不是選擇題。每事一日一問,勿反覆蔔卦或變更字句,但同樣地重復詢問與蔔卦;盡量在白天蔔卦。
(2)蔔卦程序:
a.請示卦神的事,要先擬定,纔不至於混亂。盡量用是非題方式詢問,而不是選擇題。
(註:蔔卦祈禱文,有人拜請四聖,即伏羲、文王、周公、孔子;也有版本以「卦神」稱呼。這裏以「卦神」稱呼,取其方便性,實質無異。)
b.準備一顆骰子、筆、紙與玻璃杯。
c.念誦祈禱文 (隻需念誦1次)
我是 xxx , 今年xx 歲,住在xxxxxxxxxxx。 今日有一事, ⋯⋯⋯。
