Occasion to read the Yi

Those who have an affinity with the Yi will either be studying the Ching (Classic) or will ‘stumble’ onto the Book of Changes eventually. Much has been written by authors/ translators and in the web on the knowledge, history, Chinese civilization, wisdom and profoundness of the Yi therefore no need arises to add more. Except to say that the Yi contains no religious beliefs and the reader need not divine if divination is against his or her religion.

To enhance their own spiritual development, Buddhists, Confucians, Daoists and inner alchemists may also have occasion to emulate the wise who have read, studied and/or consulted the Yi throughout the past few thousand years. For the esoteric, Daoist immortals, Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) and Buddhas know about the Yi if you happen to ask any of these divinities.
