Guan Yin Oracle No. 59

Zhang Liang Hides in the Mountains

Middle lot

You climb straight to a high tower to hide yourself.

Thorns surround the four sides like a forest.

Heaven is high, and life has its long and short span.

Gaining one thing instead turns into losing two people.

Original text

Original Chinese verse

得一反成失二人

天高君命长和短

四围荆棘绕为林

直上重楼去藏身

Allusion

Zhang Liang, courtesy name Zifang, helped Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu and establish the Han dynasty. Knowing that Liu Bang might kill meritorious ministers after gaining power, Zhang Liang withdrew from public life after success to preserve himself. Tradition says he later wandered with the immortal Chisongzi.

Translated verse

This lot shows keeping to the old and following the time. In all matters, waiting for the time is auspicious.

Explanation

Like drinking while drunk, only keeping to the old is fitting. Wait until the time arrives, and there will be no disaster or blame.

Reading the sign

The person hides because of hardship or a mistake, but danger remains.

Karmic consequence is hard to avoid. A pleased life can become loss because of wrong action.

By question

General Matters

Running away after causing trouble does not remove danger. Good and bad actions bear fruit. Repentance, discipline, kindness, and virtue are the better response.

Love and Marriage

Marriage is delayed by past burdens. Repent and improve yourself. Pursuit may end in quarrels, and a breakup may be better left unrecovered.

Work, Job Search, and Business

Hidden obstacles disturb work and business. Repentance, restraint, and reduced risk are needed; withdrawal may reduce loss.

Exams, Competition, and Promotion

Failure is not surprising now. Repentance and discipline can change the later course, but promotion is difficult at present.

Investment and Money

Loss is likely. Repentance, giving, and virtue can improve future fortune.

Business Trade

Business keeps losing. Keep discipline and do good to build later blessing.

Property

Buyers do not come. A quick sale may require accepting loss.

Health

Long treatment may not work. Repentance and avoiding killing can reduce suffering.

Change and Transfer

Changing does not help if the real problem is avoided. Face the issue directly.

Pregnancy and Children

Practice sincere repentance, do good, and avoid killing to improve the fortune around pregnancy and children.

Legal Matters

If there has been fault, punishment is hard to avoid. Facing it reduces suffering.

Finding People or Things

The lost item is gone in an unknown direction and may already be in someone else's hands. Searching less may save effort.

Travel and Going Abroad

Distant development is not auspicious. Work with the present situation instead.
