Dear friends,
My name is Soshin, I am a Lay Practitioner of Zen in Austria, Europe. Because my mothers tongue is German, my English is not that good. Nevertheless I hope to be able to share my opinions about your readings of the YIjing with you and get advice and help when I get stuck with an answer I do not understand.
In 1987 I discovered this great book for my personal use and I never got tired reading it and getting help from it for my needs.
But even after collecting about 1100 documented questions and answers I would consider myself as a mere pupil of this wonderful Book.
Recently I changed from the coin method to the yarrow stalk method, which was a big benefit for me, because it is close to impossible to do a reading with the stalks without being attentive and open to the present moment, which helps me a lot in understanding and appreciating the answer life gives through this book.
I am very happy and thankful to meet Claritys place here in the net and for the possibility to join this group.
Peace,
Soshin
