Can you use divination blocks overseas? How can you connect with the divine when you're in a foreign land?

In London, dusk falls early. A Taiwanese student studying in the UK finished a full day of presentations and returned to her small rented room, waiting to have a video reunion dinner with her family. Before the New Year's Eve dinner began, her family offered prayers at the dinner table in Taipei. Through the screen, the question that had been lingering in her mind for a whole year resurfaced. She picked up her phone, sat quietly for a while, and like when she was a child, followed her grandmother into the temple, she clearly articulated the question in her mind, and then cast a pair of divination blocks.


This is a hypothetical scenario, not a real case. But it likely reflects the daily lives of many Taiwanese people living abroad: wanting to ask a question, but finding no temple nearby. Can one perform divination using divination blocks overseas? How can one connect with the divine when far from home?


Sincerity moves mountains: Faith transcends time and space.

When many people first hear about "overseas divination using divination blocks," their first reaction is: "Can the gods hear this?"


There's an old saying in Taiwanese folk beliefs: "Sincerity brings results." Before casting divination blocks at a temple, people would calm their minds, state their identity, and clearly explain their questions. The core of these steps was never the red brick floor, but the focus and sincerity of the person seeking guidance. Temples are the places where rituals take place, but the true place where the ritual happens is the moment you quiet your mind.


Therefore, our stance is simple: asking questions is not limited by language or time and space. Whether you sincerely ask a question in a temple in Taipei or sincerely ask a question at a desk in London, the intention is no different.


Asking questions overseas: Three common concerns addressed one by one.

"Can the gods hear me?" As elders often say, the gods see the heart, not the address. Sincerely explaining the problem is more important than where you are. This is why online divination retains the complete ritual steps: stating your identity, calming your mind, and receiving three consecutive positive results for a response. Complete steps mean a complete intention.


"Does the time difference have an impact?" Many overseas users ask: Can I ask questions when I'm abroad? What's daytime in Taiwan might be nighttime for you. But in religion, there are no "working hours for deities." The first and fifteenth of the lunar month are traditionally considered auspicious days for asking questions. You can choose a time according to the lunar calendar, or you can ask at the moment when you're most anxious and need an answer. The quiet of the night is often the best time to calm your mind.


"Do I need a Taiwan address?" No. When reporting your identity, just provide your current English address. Report sincerely from wherever you are; this is the practice of "sincerity moves mountains": location is not a limitation, sincerity is the key.


For those of you far from home: One free divination using divination blocks.

If you are currently abroad and have something on your mind, you don't need to wait until your next trip back to Taiwan or your next temple visit.


We invite you to try a free divination using divination blocks right now: Find a quiet corner, calm your mind, think through the problem clearly, sincerely state your identity and location, and then cast the blocks. Three positive results indicate a clear response.


If your question is broad or complex, and you want a more complete understanding of the meaning of the result beyond a simple "yes" or "no," the Divination Assistant also provides in-depth, personalized question reports : a unique analysis and guidance tailored to your specific question, rather than a translation of a divination poem applicable to any question.


Whether overseas or late at night, sincerity is key.


When you are abroad, how can you seek help for your questions?
