大約四年前，我開始為納迪葉閱讀提供翻譯。當時，我對每位來問葉子的朋友都不太熟悉，自然也無從得知這些葉子所說的內容是否真的會應驗。我只是站在葉子與尋求者之間，作為一座語言的橋樑，並沒有太多主觀參與。那時的我，還不明白這些古老經文所承載的力量。
熟識我的人都知道，我對合作的靈性工作者特別挑剔，無論是閱讀者、療癒師，甚至我的上師也一樣。對我來說，靈性是金字塔的頂端。當你與高處對齊了，底下的關係、事業、健康、金錢等等，自然會開始排列整齊、回歸軌道。
我的上師——竹巴穹恭仁波切，曾經對我說過一句話，深深烙印在我心中：
「我從來沒見過真正修行的人會餓死的。」
這句話聽起來簡單，卻撼動人心。它的意思是，當你所做的一切是為了利他、發願行善，宇宙自然會照顧你。物質或許會波動，但靈性的支持會一直都在。
有些人會認為納迪葉與印度的吠陀占星術是一樣的。雖然兩者同樣來自印度教文化，有一些相似之處，但絕對不相等。最明顯的差異是：Kumar 老師在閱讀時並不需要你的出生時間，但葉子所說的內容卻往往精準得驚人。
我特別欣賞Kumar 老師，是因為他的操守非常高。很多次他都提醒我：
「不要強迫任何人去做葉子建議的法會。要等他們心甘情願、自在地去做，才是有力量的。」
他從不推銷額外章節，也不會讓人覺得非讀不可。反而常說：「其實你已經從第一章得到答案了，其他的可以不用再讀。」
在這個靈性領域中，能如此誠實、不貪、不誘導，實在非常難得。
從他那裡我也學到，納迪葉閱讀者必須是男性，且這項技藝通常是家族代代相傳。有些特定章節——例如所謂的「祝福章」——只有在完成了實地到印度朝聖、參拜特定廟宇後，才可以進行。這種嚴謹的系統與傳承，讓我對這門古老智慧更加敬重。
時光過去四年，越來越多人陸續回來回饋，說納迪葉的預言逐一實現。當時的他們多半難以置信，甚至認為這些話離現實太遠。但隨著時間推移，他們再度重聽錄音，常常被嚇到：「天啊，真的一模一樣！」
就像昨晚，我收到一位幾乎不熟識的客戶傳來的長訊息。當年她在谷底時做了納迪葉的閱讀。由於負能量太強，她根本聽不進去任何正向的話語。甚至當葉子說她是一個善良的人時，她還皺眉質疑。
直到最近，她的生活逐漸穩定，偶然鼓起勇氣重聽錄音。她才發現，這四年來的人生發展，竟然與葉子所說的幾乎完全吻合。她還特別謝謝我當時的笑聲 😆 ——在她情緒低落、自我懷疑的狀態中，那份輕鬆反而成了一種安慰，也讓她更能釋懷當時的自己。
這次，她想參加一個非常昂貴的靈性課程，費用高達一萬美金，但她財務上其實並不寬裕。她問我是否能重新做一次納迪葉閱讀，來釐清是否適合現在報名。我把這個問題轉問了Kumar 老師。知道她可能會傾向繼續閱讀，Kumar 老師卻給了一個非常務實的建議：
「建議她等財務比較穩定時再參加。」
沒有趁機推銷，也沒有哄騙她繼續解讀。這樣的回應，再次讓我非常敬佩。真正的靈性導師，不是從迷惘中獲利的人，而是幫助他人看清方向的人。
當然，也有一些人會回饋說葉子預測的時間點略有誤差，有時差了一兩年，或某些事情似乎未曾發生。但我始終相信：人生仍然受到業力的制約，沒有什麼是絕對的。
葉子不是神諭，而是一面鏡子。有時，我們也會因為過度執著於「自己想聽的答案」，而誤解了葉子的真正含義。
舉例來說，如果葉子說：「你可以與這個人在一起，只要你願意。」
這並不代表這段關係注定會成功或順利，而是：你擁有選擇權，但這段關係會考驗你的意志與包容力。
納迪葉並不是決定命運的工具，而是一道反射你靈魂軌跡的光。它所呈現的，不一定是你現在理解的樣子，但往往是你最終會遇見的那個自己。

When I first began translating for Nadi leaf readings about four years ago, I knew little of the people involved — and even less about whether what the leaf revealed would come true. I was simply the bridge between the palm leaves and the seeker, with no personal stake in the process. At that point, I didn’t yet understand the quiet force these ancient scriptures carry.
Those who know me well would tell you I’m exceptionally selective when it comes to the spiritual practitioners I work with — whether readers, teachers, or my own gurus. To me, spirituality is the pinnacle of the pyramid. Once you’ve aligned yourself there, everything else below — relationships, career, health, even wealth — begins to realign with grace.
My teacher, Choegon Rinpoche, once said something that has stayed with me:
“I have never seen a serious spiritual practitioner die of hunger.”
This may sound simple, but it shook me. It means that when your path is devoted to service — when your intention is pure — the universe will conspire to support you. The material may fluctuate, but the spiritual sustains.
Some people assume Nadi leaf reading is the same as Indian Vedic astrology. While they may share common cultural roots in the Hindu tradition, they are not identical. A key difference? The Nadi leaf reader doesn’t even need your birth time — and yet still speaks truths that feel impossibly precise.
Among the readers I’ve come across, Master Kumar stands out. Not just for his accuracy, but for his integrity. Time and again, he reminds me:
“Never pressure anyone into doing a puja. Let them choose with joy and readiness.”
He never pushes extra chapters or readings. In fact, he often tells clients they don’t need more — that their answers were already given. In a world where spiritual services can so easily be exploited, this is a rare and powerful kind of honesty.
Through him, I also learned that traditional Nadi readers are always male, and the practice is passed down through family lineages. Some sacred chapters — like the one offering blessings — are only read after the seeker has fulfilled specific conditions, such as physically visiting temples in India. The discipline and lineage behind it are both humbling and inspiring.
Now, four years later, I’ve received many messages from people who were once skeptical — who now find themselves stunned by how closely their lives unfolded according to what the leaf foretold. At the time of the reading, the predictions may have felt distant, impossible, even absurd. But years later, they re-listen to their recordings… and realize how quietly and faithfully life has mirrored the message.
Just last night, I received a long message from a woman I barely knew. When she first had her reading, she was at a very low point. Her mind was clouded with negativity — so much so that she couldn’t accept anything the leaf said. She even resisted when the leaf described her as “a kind person.”
Years later, with her life more stable, she finally had the courage to revisit the recording. To her surprise, nearly everything the leaf described had come true. She even thanked me — not for the translation itself — but for my laughter during the session, which had helped her feel lighter and less ashamed of her vulnerable state.
This time, she was considering enrolling in a spiritual course — one with a USD 10,000 price tag — but she wasn’t financially ready. She asked whether a new Nadi reading could guide her decision. I relayed the question to Master Kumar. Knowing that she might be eager to say yes, he did something remarkable:
He told her to wait. To be patient. To only pursue the course when her financial situation allowed it.
No sales pitch. No upsell. Just grounded wisdom. That, to me, is the mark of a true spiritual guide — someone who doesn’t profit from uncertainty, but who helps others find their own clarity.
Of course, I’ve also had people tell me the timing predicted by the leaf was slightly off — by a year or two — or that some things didn’t seem to happen at all. But we must remember: life unfolds within the web of karma, and karma is never static. Nadi readings are not magic. They are maps — not destinies. And sometimes, seekers hear only what they want to hear.
For example, if a leaf says, “You can be with this person as long as you wish,” it does not mean the relationship will be easy or destined. It means: you have the choice, but you must bear the weight of that choice with clarity and strength. Will you fight for it? Can you endure it?
In the end, the leaf doesn’t dictate your life. It simply holds a mirror — sometimes one that reflects a path you have yet to walk, or a part of yourself you have yet to meet.
