Da Liu Ren

Da Liu Ren is a Chinese practice that involves divination or predicting the future using a special method.
Imagine you have a big bag of colorful marbles. Now, each color represents a different meaning or interpretation. When you want to know what will happen in the future, you close your eyes and pick out three marbles from the bag. The order you pick them in is very important. The first marble represents the current situation, the second marble represents the actions you take, and the third marble represents your outcome.
But it's not just about picking any three marbles, it's about following a specific order and using a specific set of instructions to interpret the marbles.
Some people believe that if they follow these steps, they can get an accurate prediction of the future. However, it's important to remember that the future is not set in stone and can change depending on the choices you make.
Overall, Da Liu Ren is a way to use marbles to help understand what might happen in the future, but it's not a guarantee and the future can always change based on the choices we make.
