Guan Yin Oracle No. 37

Li Jing Returns to the Mountain

Middle lot

If you wait for the body to be safe and fortune to be smooth,

A candle in the wind is not suitable.

Better to gather yourself and sit in the deep hall,

So the flame does not shake and can shine in quiet.

Original text

Original Chinese verse

庶免光摇静处明

不如收拾深堂坐

风中灯烛不相宜

欲待身安运泰时

Allusion

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King of Investiture of the Gods, used his pagoda to subdue demons. He and his son Nezha helped Jiang Ziya overthrow King Zhou and establish Zhou. When King Wu rewarded the heroes, Li Jing and his sons did not cling to worldly fame or wealth. They refused reward, returned to the mountains, and cultivated the Way.

Translated verse

This lot shows a candle shaken by wind. Keeping the ordinary course is favorable.

Explanation

Settle the body in a quiet place. Await the command and keep the time. Movement invites trouble. Keeping the old is certain.

Reading the sign

A candle in the wind cannot shine well. The present condition is weak and easily disturbed, so quiet guarding is better than movement.

This lot also warns against total indifference. Self-discipline is good, but when others truly need help or honest advice, do not refuse all involvement.

By question

General Matters

Your condition is not strong enough to meet adversity. Handle matters conservatively.

Love and Marriage

If love has not arrived, wait quietly. Pursuit may invite resistance. Marriage needs more observation. If separated, do not rush to recover it.

Work, Job Search, and Business

Job seeking or starting a business is not suitable now. Stay in place, work quietly, and operate conservatively.

Pregnancy and Children

Health is important. Nourish the body before seeking pregnancy.

Exams, Competition, and Promotion

More strength is needed before seeking performance or promotion. Work where you are.

Investment and Money

Markets rise and fall. Do not dance with them. Hold quietly and wait for harvest.

Business Trade

The present state is weak and could go out like a lamp. Stay conservative to avoid loss.

Property

Buying or selling is not timely. Wait for dawn.

Health

The body is like a candle in wind. Rest at home and recite Amitabha if that suits your practice.

Change and Transfer

Even if low, change has little opportunity. Stay where you are and live with ease.

Legal Matters

Your standing is unstable. Settlement benefits both sides.

Finding People or Things

A lost item is unstable and may disappear, so search quickly if you must.

Travel and Going Abroad

This is not the time to go far. Develop where you are.
