I enjoy reading and learning about Buddhism and also Chinese art of fortune-telling like Bazi (8 characters of hour, day, month and year stem and branches) and Zi Wei Dou Shu. Sometimes I analyse charts of my acquaintance and it correlate with their characters.
What can one do if they realised their destiny chart is not so good? What is Buddhism view on fortune-telling? What can we do if we are born with a less than rosy chart?
There is a saying that our birth chart bazi reveals our past karma. However we can do something and improve our lives and not be bound by the chart. In the video below which is based on Ming Dynasty Liao Fan real's story of changing his destiny by doing more good deeds and improving his life, it shows that we don't have to be bound by our destiny chart but we have the freewill to improve our destiny and it requires effort.
Venerable Master Sheng Yen's said that the mind is the most important. We humans are related to this mind of ours. If you transform your mind, then your fortune will change as well. If someone's mind does not change, then his fate is basically set. If there is a change of concept of mind, the person's principles and direction in life will change and so will that person's future.
