Fortune

射鹿須乗箭

胡僧引路帰

遇道同仙籍

光華映晩暉

In English

  • To catch the deer, ride the arrow's flight
  • a foreign monk leads you on the road home
  • meeting the way, you join the immortals
  • and brightness glows in the evening light
Meaning
The poem closes on brightness glowing in the evening light, a reward that shines late. Read with the opening lines, where you ride the arrow's momentum and a traveling monk leads you home, it suggests following someone who knows the way.
What to do today
Ask someone experienced for directions or steps, and try one of them as told.
A word from the capybara
With a guide out front, trailing along slowly behind is perfectly fine.

The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
