Deities and Faith
Can one rite against malicious people guarantee a conflict-free year?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
No. The rite addresses current negative effects of malicious conflict. Later interaction and outside changes still matter.
Dao Xuan explained that continued attacks may create new influence. One rite cannot control another person's future conduct. Circumstances differ, so no common duration can be promised.
Examine your own speech, care with words, and interaction too. Daily practice builds stability. Seek divine support while doing your part. This neither blames only others nor means malicious attack proves your wrongdoing.
