The Blessings in This Life Come from Good Deeds in Past Lives

Appearances are not accidental; to some extent they reflect the blessings and wealth accumulated by a person and their ancestors. Those who have favorable features in this life are simply enjoying wealth stored up in the past, while those without such features are experiencing the depletion of earlier wealth. If you regard these so-called differences in fate with an even mind, you gain true wisdom.

1. Noble bones on the forehead: In traditional belief, such bones indicate cultivation over several lifetimes—especially exceptional types such as the Fuxi bone, Giant Jawbone, or Dragon Horn bone. Possessing all three reflects at least ten lifetimes' worth of great blessings.

2. Well-formed eyebrows: Neatly gathered eyebrows are already a good sign. If they are well shaped with strong definition, the brow ridge is neither protruding nor sunken, and the glabella is bright and open, this reflects blessings accumulated over at least three generations of ancestors.

3. Full and balanced heavenly warehouse and earthly store: This suggests that at least two generations of ancestors were great benefactors or performed substantial charitable works.

4. When the root of the mountain connects directly to the glabella, is tall and smooth, and extends to pillars that are straight and refined, it signifies at least one lifetime of good deeds and a solid accumulation of virtuous roots.

5. A well-proportioned mouth with rosy lips and neat, white teeth: This indicates that at least three generations of ancestors performed great acts of charity and consistently kept a compassionate heart.

6. If the lower jaw is notably broad and square, well formed, with ample flesh and strong bone, it signifies at least three lifetimes of purified karma, free from harmful deeds.

7. Bright, clear eyes: This points to at least one lifetime devoted to cultivating purity and good conduct.
