【The Story of the Ancient Person】

Han Zhongli is one of the Eight Immortals. During the Han Dynasty, Zhongli was originally a general. Because he missed a strategic opportunity, he did not receive the court's favor. He resigned from office and entered Mount Zhongnan to live in seclusion and cultivate the Way. Later, he received the immortal method transmitted by the Eastern King Lord (Donghua Dijun) and achieved the Way, becoming the leader of the Eight Immortals. There is also a legend that his original name was Zhongli Quan, a man of the Tang Dynasty, who called himself "Zhongli Quan, the Scattered Han of the Whole World." After meeting the Eastern King Lord, he also entered Mount Kongtong to cultivate, and thus achieved the Way and became an immortal, with the title "Master Cloud Chamber" (Yunfang Xiansheng). Later, the Emperor issued an edict proclaiming him as "Perfected Man of the Left Palace of the Great Ultimate." (From "The Story of the Eight Immortals.")

How the Poem Relates to the Story

1. 開天闢地作良緣 — Opening Heaven and Earth, Creating a Good Destiny
Han Zhongli’s life changed after his military failure. One door closed, but another opened. Meeting the Eastern King Lord (important person & willing to help him) became his 良緣 (good affinity) and opened a new path.

2. 吉日良時萬物全 — Auspicious Time, All Things Complete
His setback became the right time to begin his spiritual journey. Through hard work, diligence, and perseverance, he eventually attained the Way.

3. 若得此簽非小可 — Obtaining This Slip Is No Small Matter
His transformation from a failed general into a great immortal was extraordinary. The story reminds us that failure can lead to a new opportunity.

4. 人行忠正帝王宣 — A Person Who Remains Loyal to Being Good, Selfless and Virtuous
Despite failure, Han Zhongli remained loyal, upright, and virtuous. His diligence and character were eventually recognised and honoured by heavenly authority.

Becoming an immortal symbolises gaining wisdom and kindness. Without kindness, wisdom can become cold and selfish; without wisdom, kindness may lack discernment and do more harm than good. True cultivation requires both wisdom and compassion — constantly helping others, being selfless, and wishing for all sentient beings to be free from suffering and live with peace and happiness. Being truly selfless means helping others without seeking personal benefits, recognition, or even merit for oneself.

• Mountain graves: Auspicious. Continue to honour, visit, and pray for your ancestors. Caring for them is an expression of filial piety. When honouring our ancestors, the sincerity and intention behind our actions matter.
  
  
  Understanding "病設送" (Illness: Set Up and Send Off)】

• Literal Meaning: "For illness: set up offerings and send it off.
  
  First, if you are sick, always seek proper medical advice and treatment. If the condition persists, then there are illness also caused by negative spirits, offended deities (unfulfilled vows) , or bad karma caused by causing sufferings/losses/harming others whether intentionally or unintentionally.
  
  Spiritual Consultation Advice:
  You may seek deity consultation through a spirit medium (降童 / tang-ki). A reputable medium may help you understand spiritual concerns and, where appropriate, perform the traditional “set up and send off” ritual and guide you on prayers or offerings. The deities (holy spirits) are here to help regardless of race or religion
  
  Choosing a Reputable Deities Medium or Oracle:
  A good and trustworthy medium WILL NOT Do these: Pressure or frighten you into paying. Arrange secret or private meetings. Insist that you must see them. Touch you inappropriately or your private parts. Use fear or threats to make you continue seeing or even pay him or them. Consultations should be conducted openly and transparently. If anyone behaves inappropriately, makes you feel unsafe, or engages in suspected wrongdoing, report to the police, warn others about them.
  Because the deities are holy spirits who come down to help, they do not need money. Be respectful and grateful for their help. When you receive help, spread kindness and share your experience so that others may also learn about and respect the holy ones.

🌿 Mastering our heart, mind, speech, and actions; living with wisdom, compassion, and integrity.

Cultivate Heart (Intentions)

• Good deeds bring good returns, bad deeds bring bad returns in this lifetime — it’s only a matter of time. （you can refer to fortune lot 2 for this advice by deity/buddha - 若问前程归宿地，更须方寸好修为)

• Be mindful of your thoughts—replace anger, greed, and pride with positivity.

• Practice empathy—ask yourself: “If I were in their shoes, with their background, pressures, and influences, would I be able to do better?” Be considerate of others please. 

• Practice Forgiveness:  it releases your own pain and suffering. The best revenge is living a good life without thinking about the other party anymore.

• Choose your friends wisely—everyone has both good and bad traits. Learn from their strengths, and learn from their mistakes. Choose to support good actions. 

• Focus on your own success instead of wishing things or others were different. You can only diligence change yourself to be better.
  
  🌿 Be diligent, guided by a good moral compass. Practise gratitude, live with contentment, and strive to be considerate and help others. Fostering good relationships helps us live more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

• 
  
  Cultivate Speech (Words)

• Learn to express your needs and even negative emotions clearly and maturely. Seek win-win solutions, compromise (a little inconvenience for the greater good), or agree to disagree with respect.  This prevents resentment and assumptions, and builds mature, healthy communication.  Please learn EQ. ❤️It is one of the greatest good deeds—and one of the most valuable traits—you can develop for yourself and for others.

• Speak with kindness, tact and transparency

• Be courteous to everyone, especially to your family members/siblings etc.

• Use a lot of praise & encouragement to for your spouse, guide children & others. 

• Appreciate others so you can be appreciated in return- you reap what you sow.

• Kindness is not weakness — speak up and warn others when your kindness is taken for granted. Self-Love is important here. 

• Speak up for justice while keeping yourself safe. Be Kind & Courageous. But don't allow bad criminal behaviour, not even from your own family members. 

(Daily Conduct)

• Be filial—Please take good care of your parents, support & respect them.

• Be helpful - Help someone every day (at home, work, or outside) - a great virtue!

• Greed is wanting more and more, a bottomless hole. if you have enough food on the table, clothes to wear, shelter, have gratitude. Don’t waste food. 

• Greed is taking what is not yours- Stealing brings bad karma that will come later in life—NOT  worth it. Your integrity and good fortune are worth more than anything else.

• Do good and be honest even when no one sees. When you walk into temples, you reveal your soul.

• Speak up for justice while keeping yourself safe—example, you can be an anonymous whistleblower. If you see criminal, or unethical behavior at work and want to live in a better, safer world, you must play your part. It is a collective effort—silence enables injustice. Be brave, protect and help the poor, sick and vulnerable (include animals). 

Do you know? In ancient times, people who were known for their virtue, selflessness, & for helping many lives become immortals. Even after they become Celestial deities, Bodhisattvas, or Buddhas, they continue to help people, animals, spirits, and all beings. So why aren’t you doing it now?

Be a Selfless Leader, Parent, Influencer & Role Model
👉 Be selfless and wise. Create and promote systems and policies that serve the greater good—creating goodness and blessings for yourself and others.

👉 Benefit others. Uplift employees, customers and the wider community. Help people live well, rather than encouraging an endless pursuit of materialism.

👉 Teach children compassion, helpfulness, love and inclusiveness. Helpful, virtuous adults make better leaders and create a better life for everyone (imagine shorter hours of work, better wage because the leaders are selfless and willing to share wealth with everyone else).

👉 Protect the environment and care for the poor, sick and vulnerable—including animals. Please teach children to be kind and compassionate towards animals.

👉 Leave goodness behind. Think beyond yourself and for future generations.

🌿Teach children to pray sincerely to the divine for world peace. While we must give 100% effort and take action, some things—like opportunities, safety and luck—are beyond our control.  We are like little ants, we need to remain humble and seek the guidance and protection of the deities.

🌿 Parents who pass down good virtues are in fact blessing the future generations—If you are reborn within your own lineage, (even as a pet), you will benefit from the blessings you once cultivated.

PRACTISE MODERATION

🌿 Think fairly, consider others, and avoid extremes. Find balance. Know when enough is enough.

🌿 心中富裕 — Be rich and fulfilled within: have a heart full of gratitude, contentment and wisdom, rather than measuring wealth by material possessions.

PRACTISE HONESTY

🌿 Never take advantage of someone's trust or lack of knowledge. Be honest and fair, even when no one is watching — Heaven knows. What you do comes back to you one day. No profit is worth bad karma & creating your own future sufferings. 

REPENTANCE

🌿 Take time to reflect on your mistakes, learn from them, and become a big-hearted person who brings joy and happiness to yourself and others.

🌿 Be brave enough to admit your mistakes and say sorry. It is far better to own up to your mistakes than to get caught up in lies, excuses and endless arguments. True repentance means correcting your mistakes, not just saying sorry.

🌿

🌿 What is True Inner Repentance?
Heavenly Pardon Day (天赦日) — or any other day — is an opportunity to repent sincerely before Heaven and the Jade Emperor, seek forgiveness, acknowledge your mistakes, correct your wrongdoing, and do more good deeds. It is not true repentance if you simply ask for forgiveness but do not correct your mistakes. True repentance means recognising your wrongs, changing your behaviour, making amends where possible, and becoming a better person through your actions.

Qn: What do the gods want from us? 
Wisdom combined with kindness

·       Wisdom without kindness grows cold, arrogant, & cruel. It sees all things but cares for none.

·        Kindness without wisdom grows naive, easily exploited, and sometimes—despite good intentions—does harm instead. Example going into forest and bringing an animal home, separate it from its family, when it has already learned to live in forest and not in a human's home.
