Description:

Our theme camp work shop includes bua-buei ,message ,talisman and fortune stick.
Bua buei"
Bua-buei means throwing divine blocks.
Buei blocks are very common divination tools in Taiwanese temples,which are used in pairs and thrown to get a yes or no answer from gods.
They are made out of wood and carved into a crescent shape.Each block is round on one side (known as the Yin side) and flat on the other (known as the Yang side).
When throwing the blocks, there are three possible results: One block flat and another block round is a ‘yes’ answer.Both blocks flat is a “maybe” answer. Both blocks round is a ‘no’ answer.
