Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Guanyin Pusa – or the Goddess of Mercy – goes by many names and is renowned for great compassion. The Bodhisattva hears the cries of all beings and swiftly comes to their aid, freeing them from suffering.
Guanyin Lots, following worldly customs, can discern fortune and misfortune, virtue and evil. In times of trouble and uncertainty, we can confide in Guanyin Pusa, who listens and provides guidance when asked.
As long as one holds sincere faith in Guanyin Pusa and earnestly recites the name of the Bodhisattva, heartfelt prayers will receive clear guidance.

-
Many devotees have given feedback that they found the lots to be insightful and resonant with their situations. This may differ for each person, however – it is important to note that the accuracy of lots often depends on our faith and the sincerity of our prayers.
-
Consider the outcome with an open mind, free from needless worry.
If the lot seems “ominous”, recognise it as a result of past karma. Reflect, pray, and commit to positive change.
If it seems “auspicious”, stay grounded. Don't let excitement overwhelm you.
If it seems to be “neutral”, remember that all virtuous deeds yield fruit when conditions are ripe. None is in vain; all contribute to progress.
May we find wisdom in these teachings, guiding us to transient and ultimate happiness.
