Today’s lot
July 13, 2026
Each day the temple hangs out one lot from its fixed sixty-cycle canon. Everyone who visits today sees the same lot. A ritual, not a guarantee.
Omen No. 59・壬戌・Good Fortune
The verse
Fresh bamboo in the wind, each leaf rinsed clear,hollow of heart, yet jointed, it leans to meet its kin.Let no letter lie sealed till the dust grows old—break a stalk with your own hand, and send the kindly word.
Reading
Be hollow-hearted as bamboo: answer in your own hand whoever comes asking, let no message gather dust. Sincerity exchanged keeps its own quiet integrity. This divines no fortune—only the truth of how you meet others.
