Reading fortunes since seventeen.
Mor A on practice, teacher fees and giving

Mor A

Hello, I’m the fortune reader Mor A. I’ve been doing this for more than thirty years. I began meditating as a child, and I would pray and pay respect to the Buddha. After meditating for some time, I gradually began to see images.

In my understanding, I see each client’s karma and its consequences, then suggest an appropriate way to address them. My role is to predict and offer guidance, but visitors do not have to tell me everything first. I usually begin with an overall reading. When I finish, they can ask whatever they want.

They can ask about love, work, finances, luck, health or family. If someone is not comfortable with a direct online reading, they can prepare questions instead. I offer two approaches: an online meditative observation without a prior explanation, or direct questions, also without a long background story.

I had meditated for more than two years, nearly three, without seeing anything. In my first year of vocational school, when I was about seventeen or eighteen, I gave a teacher a reading and spoke about problems in her family and relationship.

I also said that, as I saw it, the situation involved occult practices. She was surprised and asked how I knew. I told her I had seen images. She held my hand. Her relationship problem had lasted a long time, so, according to my beliefs, I suggested a ceremony, offerings to monks, vegetarian practice, almsgiving and meditation. I also prepared holy water from three temples.

I remember that after her partner drank the holy water, he vomited a strand of hair and something like oil. He then hugged her, cried and asked, “Is this my wife?” I understood that experience as the problem being resolved. After that, I began reading for other teachers at the school.

There was one thing I had not completed: I helped with the problem but did not make an offering or merit for the being involved. Later, I felt it squeezing my neck, arms and legs. I took that as a reminder that I could not simply read for people without accepting a teacher fee; I also needed to make merit on its behalf.

From that day, I accepted a foundational teacher fee. People could give any amount. I would use part of it for alms and offerings. I also used the money to help people in need or as scholarships for students.

If someone had no rice, I would buy five kilograms; if a family lacked milk powder, I would buy it. I dedicate the merit to people who need help and have few resources. In my view, every person who receives a reading therefore shares in that giving.

I write the names so heaven knows how many clients Mor A has read for that day. To me, it is a report and a way of remaining honest with the sacred.

I divide the teacher fees into four equal parts. The first is for food and personal living costs; the second for merit-making and offerings to monks; the third for helping people in need; and the fourth for utilities. I believe that, through this distribution, each client’s payment gives something back.

Yes. From vocational school through technical college and university, I kept reading for people. Today, I usually accept readings every day from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
