It is not correct to superstitiously believe in worldly fortune telling and relying on luck. This denies the law of cause and effect. We must realize that all phenomena and common experiences are the result of our actions, thoughts and speech.

Evil View No. 15:  Acknowledging it is acceptable not to have a clear belief in cause and effect yet have a superstitious belief in fortune-telling and luck.  Those with this view do not clearly believe in the law of cause and effect. They do not believe in the law of cause and effect. They deny the law of cause and effect. They instead believe in divination and luck. This is an evil view. You must understand that everything is based on the law of cause and effect.
