What if the hexagram appears auspicious, yet the outcome turns out poorly? Without hesitation, I told them: That won\u2019t happen to you. This wisdom comes from our ancient ancestors\u2014stretching from Fuxi, who created the Eight Trigrams, to Confucius, who authored the Ten Wings (Yi Zhuan). Over a thousand years of accumulated insight separates them. This is absolutely not superstition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This morning, I already discussed the relationship between science and superstition. I am not defending superstition\u2014only humans are superstitious; I\u2019ve never seen a dog steeped in superstition. Yet when we understand what superstition truly is, we learn to temper it. Without superstition, we lose our inner drive. In fact, superstition, viewed loftily, is faith; viewed crudely, it is delusion. Superstition is what Zen Buddhism calls \u2018persistent delusion\u2019\u2014excessive, unyielding attachment. But the moment clarity emerges from delusion, it becomes enlightenment. We must transform superstition\u2019s rigid convictions into enlightenment\u2014that shift is profound and fascinating, isn\u2019t it? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ancient divination served to foresee our next actions\u2014honoring Heaven\u2019s will while fulfilling human duty. As stated in the Doctrine of the Mean and the Great Learning: \u2018What Heaven imparts is called nature; to follow nature is called the Way; cultivating the Way is called education.\u2019 Note this: Though the I Ching (Book of Changes ) is a Confucian text, it is the mother of all classics, the root of the Six Classics. Even Daoism later absorbed its teachings, especially the concept of Taiji (the Supreme Ultimate). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So, what principles govern divination? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">1. No divination without doubt: Only when confused should one seek clarity through divination. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">2. No divination without righteousness: Never divine for actions contrary to the Way (as Laozi defined it). For example, one must not divine about theft\u2014that is perverse. Consider English: \u2018Live\u2019 is life; reverse it to \u2018evil\u2019\u2014harm against life. Never divine for what harms life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">3. No divination without sincerity: Without an open, pure, and tranquil heart, divination is invalid. Impure intentions pollute the inquiry\u2014this isn\u2019t superstition; it\u2019s simple logic. How can a clouded mind receive a clear answer?&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><div class=\"floating-menu float-menu-1 notranslate\"><ul class=\"fm-bar\"><li class=\"fm-item-1-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/recommend.php\" target=\"_self\" ><div class=\"fm-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-youtube \"><\/i><\/div><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Earlier today, a classmate asked whether divinat [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[236],"class_list":["post-6314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-doorm","tag-236"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6314"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6315,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6314\/revisions\/6315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doorm.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
