Direct answer

Guanyin 100 lots is a numbered poem corpus associated with Guanyin practice, but the label does not identify one universal text. These pages use a pinned OpenFate recension and disclose its fields, variants, and blocked data.

A reliable method

Identify the corpus owner and version; verify the number, four poem lines, grade, palace, shiyi, jieyue, and allusion title; then compare any physical slip before reading the modern editorial layer.

  • Name the exact corpus or temple version.
  • Separate the printed text from your contextual inference.
  • Choose one observable, reversible next action.

Worked example

A slip marked 12 belongs to this reference only if its four lines match the pinned text beginning 時臨否極泰當來. A matching number with different lines remains a different recension.

Close misreading and alternative

Calling every hundred-stick collection “the Guanyin 100” erases deity, temple, and textual differences. The safer label names the institution or recension beside the number.

Sources and limits

Guanyin 100 lots is a numbered poem corpus associated with Guanyin practice, but the label does not identify one universal text. These pages use a pinned OpenFate recension and disclose its fields, variants, and blocked data. Identify the corpus owner and version; verify the number, four poem lines, grade, palace, shiyi, jieyue, and allusion title; then compare any physical slip before reading the modern editorial layer. Corpus evidence can establish what a named recension prints. Differences between transcriptions must remain visible; no single web transcription represents every temple. Treat the text as a structured reflection prompt. It cannot verify hidden thoughts, diagnose health, decide legal or financial risk, or guarantee an event or date. Every factual claim stays traceable to a named source reference, while examples show the method rather than establish what will happen. Conflicts, omissions, and version limits remain visible for audit.
