Che Kung stick 72

Good fortune and the care that prepares for it

This upper-grade stick brings an auspicious image, then places it at a kind person's home. Its encouragement rests on how that home has been made ready: through care, generosity, and good conduct. If an opportunity arrives, receive it while continuing the work and relationships that made room for it.
