Wanna get your perspective on this, it is said that some of the things a person with certain spiritual powers shouldn't do (medium, clairvoyant; not sure of the term to use) i.e. 1) smoking 2) drinking 3) gambling
The first two are definitely understandable in the sense that smoking and drinking might block certain chakras in the body. But where does gambling come in this?

ah yes Guan Yin's Birthday tomorrow, will definitely go vegetarian tomorrow
Can enlighten me what's the difference between what the usual Chinese tradition does vs. the Real Buddhist tradition for this occasion?
Also, why does she have 3 birthdays? (Or at least I think I remember seeing somewhere about that)
