With Lu Ban Immortal Master’s Christmas coming up, Uncle Lin @thomaslim2019 went to pay respects at the Lu Ban Temple today, helping people in the industry draw lots for divination. The luck was extremely good—he got there in time. In mainland China, there are already not many separate temples dedicated to enshrining Lu Ban, so this is a very rare opportunity to use the divination lot text to see the warnings Lu Ban Immortal Master has for the younger generation.

Today, as we commemorate Lu Ban, we’re not only remembering an ancestral master who gave generations the “tools and trade” to hold a livelihood as craftsmen, but also commemorating a kind of spirit: “Even if thousands upon ten thousand people don’t understand, we still must build what we have in our hearts.”
