Description

The Tibetan divination system called "Mo" has been relied upon for centuries to give insight into the future turns of events, undertakings, and relationships. It is a clear and simple method involving two rolls of a die to reveal one of the thirty-six possible outcomes described in the text. This Mo, which obtains its power from Manjushri, was developed by the great master Jamg n Mipham from sacred texts expounded by the Buddha.

Reviews

"This English translation of a Tibetan divination manual opens a new portal into the realm of Tibetan studies."Tsepak Rigzin, Research and Translation Officer at the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives

"Mo's approach is refreshingly different from the other oracle systems around. . . . Mo's results seemed highly relevant, nourishing, inspiring, and best of all, authoritative."Yoga Journal
