It's about power stones and fortune.

I would like to thank you for discussing my previous concerns and reaching a solution. Thank you so much.
The content of the consultation completely changes, but the question this time is “Do people have fortunes they were born with? Do power stones really work?” That's it.

The other day, I had an acquaintance take me to a store where they select a fortune telling (from a feng shui way of thinking) from name judgment, date of birth, birth time, prefecture of birth, current address, etc.

As a result of fortune telling, “Luck can be broadly divided into 5 types of luck, and out of the original luckiness you were born with, you have this luck, but you don't have this luck,” “the correct luck doesn't change, but in addition to that, your luck changes every 10 years as a major transition.” “Of the luckies you have, few you have, and the balance with other strong luckies becomes poor, this is the recommended power stone.” I received explanations, etc.
Speaking of which, I thought there are places where rosaries and power stones are placed at temples and shrines, and I was wondering, so I'd like to ask.

Originally, I think it would be fun to have 8 million gods, etc., but are there any luckiness that humans were born with after all?
According to the explanation of the store, it is said that there is a power stone as a talisman, but I don't want to increase things too much or become dependent on them.
If it really affects your luck, I thought it might be okay to buy one by believing it as an amulet,
For example, even if they want to improve their luck in relationships, it seems that there is no point in having a stone to improve relationships, and they say that power stones help when they want to raise the luck they were born with originally a little more, so I felt that if that was the case, I didn't have many dreams, which made me sad.

I often see people wearing power stones (rosaries) on their arms, and I'm wondering if they are wearing a stone they like, or if they look up the meaning and wear it by searching for the meaning that such luck would improve, or whether there are stones that monks are encouraged to wear this stone at temples.

I definitely want you to tell me about it. Thank you for your support.

About rosaries and power stones

Non sama

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.

My last problem (I wonder if it was about romance...) After that, I'm really glad that a solution was successfully reached.

This time, I'm talking about rosaries and power stones, but it's similar to fortune telling, and well, to be honest, I certainly know it's not good to rely too much on that kind of thing or thing. Everything depends on the person's hard work. For good results, it is more desirable than anything else to accumulate good deeds as much as possible.

The rosary is described in detail below, so please refer to it.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/数珠

The word rosary is called a bead that counts numbers like a character.

It is said that it began when it was used to count the number of sutras and the number of mantras while passing through the beads.

It's just a ritualistic tool, and it's not very desirable to bring something mystical to that tool and get caught up in it. However, for the time being, when using it at wake ceremonies, funerals, and memorial services, it is a good idea to keep in mind some differences in form and manners depending on the denomination.

In everyday legal affairs, we exclusively use Tibetan rosaries, as shown in the image below. They have completely ignored the forms and manners in Japan...

It is made of Tibetan silver with Onmanipemehum's mantra molded into beads.

Before that, I used custom-made tiger eye stone rosaries worn by the protagonist in the movie “Kundun,” which depicts the half-life of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, but these are quite heavy... they are not suitable for long memorial services, and now they are carefully stored.

Well, when it comes to rosaries and power stones, I think it would be nice if you could adjust the color and quality to suit your own preferences, such as those that are familiar to you and are easy to use. They think that it has almost nothing to do with luck going up or down, and I know that it doesn't matter if it feels like a single accessory.

from my standpoint

Non san
Your previous question has been resolved, isn't it? That's good, that's good (^_^)

Now, I think the way of thinking about this question will differ depending on each sect of Buddhism, but I will write it from the standpoint of the Jodo Shinshu sect to which I belong (of course, people have different ways of thinking even with the same Jodo Shinshu).

My own conclusion is “there is no fortune I was born with” and “there is no effect on power stones.”

First of all, it's fortune, but in Buddhism, they explain “relationships.” If I write it in a little more detail, it's called “Innenshoki (Innenshoki)”...

There is a “cause (cause)” for things,
↓
Influenced by “relationships (various conditions)”
↓
The result is “occur (occur)”

I think so.
Therefore, I think that there is no such thing as a fortune or fixed destiny born with, and everything is intricately intertwined with the actions of myself and others, leading to results.

Also, it's a power stone, but it's a type of so-called amulet. The Jodo Shinshu sect is very special in this field, but it does not recognize amulets or fortune telling at all. There may be problems if I write about this area in detail, so I'll post a link to my blog. Please take a look if you like.

Oh, by the way, what the monk wears on his wrist is not a power stone, but a rosary (bracelet rosary, bracelet rosary) as written in parentheses. Rosaries and rosaries are proof of being a Buddhist, so I don't think they wear them with fortune in mind.

I don't rely on the power contained in the ball; I like it.

Power stones are beautiful, aren't they? It has such hidden power! If you're told that, any girl would like to try it on, right? But I don't think it has any particular power.
Often, even in advertisements, things like love fulfillment and money luck improvements are posted - it's just an advertising phrase, and there's no basis for anything.

What the monk wears on his arm is a bracelet rosary. As is the case with rosaries, they don't rely on the power contained in the ball. Everyone has their own preferences.

It's cute ~ I think it would be nice to wear it stylishly ◎

For those of you who are having trouble, this ball and this ball... well put on them so that they don't make you buy it.

Power stones don't have power, but...

　To Nonsan
I would like to express the opposite opinion with the monks mentioned above. I would like to say that power stones have some benefits. However, it wasn't like a store where Non was addicted to choosing power stones from the customers she saw or their fortune telling.
There was a time in my life when I had trouble, and I talked to my friend about it. That friend made a living from power stones. At that time, they sold me cheap power stone bracelets. Then he listened to my worries and said, “When this bracelet expires, think that I did something bad for you.” “Power stones give birth to belief.” I was saved by those words, and when I wore it, there were people who spoke to me with interest (even criticized), and people who became good friends came out (there are also people who have gotten along bad), my relationships have increased, and I am now able to live a positive life (just a break).
I think the way people perceive your good luck and bad luck is different from person to person. There are many people who are bad at taking advantage of other people's weaknesses, such as things that are “lies, exaggerated, and misleading,” such as JARO advertisements, but there is no denying Power Stone in one fell swoop. There are also people who make a living by interacting with that person like a friend because they are handmade to order at a reasonable price. I don't deny those people at all, and I think fashion is also a power to gain confidence in one's self, so I can't even try lowering it. It is said that the road of a thousand miles also starts with one step, but how easy would it be if you could take a step forward? From amulets, rosaries, power stones, and goshuin sold at shrines and temples, I think the benefits are the same as what my friend said above.
I'm still wearing a power stone bracelet, and this is my third generation. If it becomes cloudy or broken due to scratches, I am buying a new one. Now I feel at ease, and I feel at ease to the point where I think of it as match pants. It's more often when I'm not wearing it than when I'm wearing it.
　

I think this stone (intention) is appropriate for you.

There are also people who make a living from power stones, so I'm not denying it. I have no intention of interfering with business. But let's have this kind of way of thinking, and this kind of thing too. ↓

If you say “power stones have power”
① If power stones are that amazing, the store where those stones are placed should be very prosperous with the power of those stones to improve their luck with money everywhere, and they should be very prosperous and a bunch of money fans.

② If it's such an amazing stone, the seller is surrounded by power stones every day, from the store manager to the part-time worker, so they are probably extremely healthy, safe, happy, peaceful, and very rich.

③ If you were to be able to sell one million power stones, first ask a trust office to sell those stones for tens of thousands of yen, and if you check if the current owner is happy, it would also be a self-investment where you won't have to rely on power stones for the rest of your life. If we are really happy with that, it will also be a self-investment that will help us as a result.

If there used to be a stone that could melt anything, would you buy it? there isn't a public plan called that. ^_^
“Do you want one?” It seems that people who say “I want I want” when I say that are the type of people who get deceived.
If it's a medicine that dissolves anything in the first place, “Where are you storing that stone?” That is the conclusion that you have to look through it. Please reread it again.
This story was about improving your future financial luck, improving your luck in love, improving your health, and improving all kinds of fortune ♡
This can be said not only about stones, but also about people of the opposite sex, friends, health foods, and the workplace.

Ties from luck

To Nonsama

When it comes to power stones
The number of things I often see on paper etc. has increased.
I think that's how many people are buying it.
It's just the one who is a monk and wears it with that meaning
I've never seen it.

I'm not born with luck
I think they might have a relationship.

It was in the sentence
“I don't want to add too many things or become dependent.”
Isn't that feeling important?
In a world where we tend to be dependent on something
I think it's great to have this kind of thinking. Gassho
