Guan Di lot 67 of 100
Heaven already knows
Middling (中平, 庚庚). Grades differ between editions, and many Taiwanese temples print none. Shown as Wikisource gives it. Wikisource prints no stem pair for this lot, so 庚庚 is from manekineko.com.tw.
纔發君心天已知
何須問我決狐疑
願子改圖從孝悌
不愁家室不相宜
The moment your heart is moved, Heaven already knows.
Why ask me to settle your doubt?
I hope you will change your plan and follow duty to your elders and brothers.
Then you need not worry that your household will not suit you.
What this lot says
This is a lot for someone with a doubt. The verse says you already know the answer and that the real question is about changing direction.
It points to family obligations as the guide. If you are stuck, it suggests asking what you owe the people nearest you.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The story behind it
Jiang's last words to his son (江遺囑兒)
Named for this lot in the Wikisource transcription.
Where this text comes from
This verse is a traditional temple text with no known author. We read it from two named web transcriptions, Chinese Wikisource (the base text) and manekineko.com.tw. Neither is a scan of a printing, the edition behind them is mixed, and we could not establish whether the two are independent of each other.
