Whether in the West or the East, there have been people who have provided divination and fortune-telling services since ancient times. Their advice sounds very reasonable, so many people, regardless of their knowledge or status, are very fascinated by it. Even some materialists, although they say they don't believe it on the surface, are actually somewhat dubious.
無論是西方或東方，自古以來就有人提供占卜、算命服務。他們的建議聽起來很有道理，所以很多人，無論其知識或地位如何，都對此非常著迷。就連一些唯物主義者，雖然表面上說不相信，但其實也有些半信半疑。
Fortune-telling, in some respects, can really calculate a person's fate. However, the fate of people born on the same year, the same month and the same day, may not be exactly the same. Even people born at the same time will have different futures due to different family backgrounds and geographical environments. In addition, if you rely on fortune-telling for everything, you may have to calculate before going out every day about the best time or best direction to go out ... These may make you suspicious and tie up you're life.
算命，從某些方面來說，確實可以推算一個人的命運。然而，同年同月同日出生的人，命運卻未必完全相同。即使是同一時間出生的人，也會因為不同的家庭背景、地理環境而有不同的未來。另外，如果你什麼事都靠算命，你可能每天出門前都要計算一下出門的最佳時間或最佳方向……這些可能會造成你對生活產生懐疑與束縛。
The technology of divination and fortune-telling is based on physical phenomena, the inheritance of experience, and the presentation of natural laws. From the point of a Buddhist, divination is not completely nonsense, but it has never been an eternal teaching that is worth being addicted to.
占卜算命的技術是基於物理現象、經驗的傳承、自然法則的呈現。從佛教徒的角度來看，占卜並不完全是無稽之談，但它從來都不是值得沉迷的永恆教義。
According to the law of "cause and effect" (or "Karma") that is taught by Buddhism, it is more reliable and more advantageous for sustainable development than relying on divination and fortune-telling. It is a positive way to create a happy destiny. Through the accumulation of ability improvement (by learning and observing) and external force support (by benefiting others), people may extend their powerful creative force on any challenges without calculating their complicated and trivial fate negative to avoid danger only.
根據佛教所宣揚的「因果」（或「業力」）法則，比依賴占卜算命更可靠，更有利於永續發展。這是創造幸福命運的積極的方式。透過能力提升（透過學習和觀察）和外力支持（透過造福他人）的積累，人們可以在任何挑戰中發揮強大的創造力，而不必消極的只是為了避免危險而計算自己複雜又瑣碎的命運。
