Fortune No.22
Poem (The Oracle's Verse)
四郊田畝皆枯竭,久旱俄然三日霖,花果草芽俱潤澤,始知一雨值千金
The fields on all sides are dried up, and after a long period of drought, suddenly three days and three nights of rain fall. Flowers, fruits, and buds of grass will be moistened, and for the first time, we will know that a single rainfall is worth a thousand gold pieces.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)
田禾倍收,謀望相宜,病逢妙藥,行人便歸。此籤久旱逢雨之象,凡事難中有救。
This lot is an elephant that rains for a long time; in other words, it is an elephant that obtains the salvation of a nobleman in the midst of difficulties. Therefore, no matter what difficulties you encounter, never give in to your ambition, nor be gray-minded, lazy, or nodding your head. In your life, whenever you encounter difficulty, a nobleman will come to your aid. For example, if a traveler is prevented, a nobleman will take his place and bring the same effect as if a traveler had come. In short, the lot will yield double the amount of grain in the rice paddies, plans will go well together, illnesses will be met with a miracle cure, and the ascetic will return by luck.

Explanation
[Summary] Be compassionate and help each other. Mercy is not good for others, but compassion goes around and helps you.
This lot means 'no time or forget'. It encourages the person concerned to always have a heart of compassion. Many things may seem unrelated to us on the surface, but in fact they are interconnected and affect us in the same way that moving a hair moves our entire body. Everything from the people, things, and things around us to the country and the entire planet is closely related to us and is a common responsibility for everyone. We should start with ourselves and implement this in our daily lives with the mindset of "If others starve, I will starve too" and "If others drown, I will drown too. Always put yourself in the other person's shoes and show compassion in every situation. Nothing is impossible in this world, and we should not underestimate the power of the individual. Nothing is impossible if we have the heart to achieve it.
Practical Advice for Modern Life
Like Wang Xiaoxian praying for the people, action taken for someone else warms your own luck too. Offer small help to family, colleagues, or friends in trouble. Avoid carrying everything for them; support a form in which they can stand themselves.
Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice
Pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva for compassion you can sustain without strain. Hold the person’s name in your heart and ask that they regain their own strength.
Put your wish into words
In Taiwanese temples, worshippers traditionally introduce themselves and express their wishes clearly when praying. Use your fortune slip as a moment to put your own wish into words.
