Ken's Cyber Cave: Embracing (your God's name) when running into emergency

Chinese has a saying: "Embracing Buddha's leg when running into emergency" for people who do not really care about their religious belief when they have no urgent problem in life. It is the opposite of "fair weather friend" to God or deity.

My old classmate John in Hong Kong runs into a few obstacles since the Year of Rat (2020) comes. Lately he has abdominal pain when waking up in the morning. He went to a hospital, did some tests and was waiting for the results.

A Hongkonger runs into this situation usually may also consult a fortune-teller or go to a temple to do a divination to find out what is the problem. But John is an atheist and does not care much.

However, his wife Mary believes in Buddhism and Daoism. She thinks John's horse animal sign clashing current year's Grand Duke (rat sign), is the cause of his problems. She told him to go to a temple to pray and make offering to Grand Duke.

Mary took John to a temple and found it is closed to the public due to the coronavirus. It seems his "embracing Grand Duke's leg when running into emergency" attempt does not pan out.

John told me his Grand Duke problem while chatting online with me. He does not know I do Grand Duke Talisman charity drive every year. So I have sent him the GD talisman file.

The next day John told me the following:

If you run into many obstacles and problems in 2020, it is not too late for you to "embrace Grand Duke's leg" for relief. Check the article below for details.
