Guanyin Lot 100 Meaning (三教談道)

Meaning in one paragraph

Lot 100 warns against scattered direction and advice overload. When moving east and west only increases confusion and the sought authority cannot be found, the constructive response is to pause, return to first principles, and wait for clearer conditions.

Original four-line poem

The four lines below preserve the pinned classical text in order. Keep them visible while evaluating every modern paraphrase.

• 欲就東兮欲就西
• 逢人說事轉痴迷
• 登山不見神仙面
• 莫若歸休更勿提

Line-by-line reading

The first line pulls toward east and west at once, presenting divided direction before any destination is chosen. Source anchor: this paragraph reads “欲就東兮欲就西” as line 1 of lot 100 and remains bounded by the recension’s shiyi, “此卦守常勿動之象。凡事宜待時吉也。.”

The second line adds more conversations but less clarity, a recognizable pattern of collecting opinions without decision criteria. Source anchor: this paragraph reads “逢人說事轉痴迷” as line 2 of lot 100 and remains bounded by the recension’s shiyi, “此卦守常勿動之象。凡事宜待時吉也。.”

The third line shows effortful seeking that still fails to meet the hoped-for authority; effort alone is not producing usable guidance. Source anchor: this paragraph reads “登山不見神仙面” as line 3 of lot 100 and remains bounded by the recension’s shiyi, “此卦守常勿動之象。凡事宜待時吉也。.”

The fourth line recommends returning and setting the matter down for now. It is a stop rule, not proof that the goal must be abandoned forever. Source anchor: this paragraph reads “莫若歸休更勿提” as line 4 of lot 100 and remains bounded by the recension’s shiyi, “此卦守常勿動之象。凡事宜待時吉也。.”

Classical shiyi and jieyue

詩意：此卦守常勿動之象。凡事宜待時吉也。

解曰：完滿靈籤。盡報君加。信舊勿動。待等時至。此是滿籤。諸事不利。大作福力。可保平安。

Shiyi and jieyue are reproduced as classical source fields. They are evidence of this recension’s wording, not verified instructions or guaranteed outcomes.

Grade and palace

This recension records Lower lot and 亥宮. Grade is a corpus field, not a probability or a verdict that overrides the poem and real-world evidence.

Integrated reading

The sequence moves from divided intention to social confusion, unsuccessful seeking, and finally withdrawal. Its practical strength is a disciplined pause that reduces noise and restores a decision framework.

Worked example

Someone comparing two jobs has asked many friends and now changes preference after every conversation. Lot 100 can prompt a 48-hour pause, a written list of salary, scope, manager, location, and risk criteria, and direct questions to each employer. It cannot choose the job for them.

• Relationships — Use the lot image only to form questions about direct statements, recent behavior, consent, and boundaries. It cannot reveal private feelings or prove a relationship outcome.
• Work — Compare the lot image with the written role, contract, deadlines, feedback, and confirmed decisions. It cannot prove hiring, promotion, dismissal, or timing.
• Money and resources — Compare the lot image with balances, terms, affordability, downside, and qualified advice when needed. It cannot determine returns, losses, credit, or timing.
• Health — Use the lot image only to organize questions for qualified care alongside symptoms and timelines. It cannot determine diagnosis, urgency, treatment, or recovery.
• Study — Compare the lot image with deadlines, feedback, practice results, and actual preparation. It cannot predict scores, admission, graduation, or timing.
• Family — Check direct conversations, consent, privacy, and each person’s responsibilities. The lot cannot speak for another person or assign authority they do not have.

Close misreading and alternative

A lower grade can be misread as permanent failure. Here the closer alternative is temporary non-action: stop adding voices, return to verified facts, and reopen the decision when a missing condition changes.

A reversible next step

Pause new advice, write the decision criteria and missing facts, request only the highest-value fact, and set a review date based on the real deadline rather than a predicted omen.

Evidence, allusion, and safety limits

This page identifies Guanyin lot 100 in the pinned OpenFate recension as Lower lot, assigned to 亥宮, and transmitted under the title 三教談道. Its source layer is the four-line poem plus the shiyi and jieyue fields; two named public transcriptions are used only to cross-check those fields. The one-line image and modern synthesis are editorial aids adapted from a version-pinned OpenFate draft, while the six question prompts are Wiki safety scaffolds; neither is primary evidence, and both still require native-language review. Read the lines in sequence, preserve any mismatch with a temple slip, and keep the interpretation conditional. Each factual statement remains tied to a named source reference, while examples explain the reading method and never establish the reader’s future outcome. This lot cannot verify another person’s thoughts, diagnose health, decide legal or financial risk, supply a guaranteed date, or prove that an event will occur.

The classical fields come from the pinned OpenFate recension and are checked against two named public transcriptions. The modern reading is a conditional editorial synthesis; it cannot predict events, dates, health, legal outcomes, investments, or another person’s private mind.

The allusion is intentionally limited to the title transmitted with this corpus. No story is retold or presented as history; a reader who wants to use the narrative must first consult a dedicated source for that story.
