Can I gradually understand an unfamiliar faith before deciding to learn?

You do not need extensive knowledge from the start. Around his university years, Dao Sheng came through his mother's introduction to try Chinese chess divination. He found it unusual and asked questions, but did not immediately study deeply. Later group practice and relationships with seniors gave him his own sense of the learning here, and he asked me to become a student. His intention developed gradually. One visit with his mother did not decide the whole subsequent path.

I understand willingness to learn through inner wishes and affinities, with different conditions for each person. A couple also once joined affiliated membership together, showing the strength of mutual support in hardship and added trust and companionship on the path.

Even without student, disciple, or affiliated-member status, people with religious needs can respectfully request help from Sheng Zhen Men's Guanyin, Thousand-Armed Guanyin, or Lord Bao as King of the Underworld. I believe deities respond to cries of suffering. That support does not guarantee every wish will be fulfilled in a personally specified way.
