Online Mo Dice Divination

Do not take the Online Mo Dice lightly, this is not a simple practice, it has sacred meaning.

Performing Mo divination is not as simple as just tossing the dice and making a wish. Engaging with this rich divination tradition requires preparing your spirit and carefully formulating your question in order to achieve the best possible results.

Preparing for Mo Dice Divination

Before touching the Mo Dice at all, Buddhist faith leaders recommend preparing your spirit through meditation. Reciting Manjushri’s mantra, the one which has become the foundation of Mo divination, along with verses in his honor will allow you to call on the wisdom of this great bodhisattva as you cast your divination. Recite Manjushri’s mantra three to seven times. Another helpful mantra is the mantra of Interdependent Origin, which you can recite in the auspicious numbers of one, three, or seven times. Relying on these mantras helps prepare your spirit for the divinatory wisdom that you are about to receive.

Before casting the Mo Dice, be sure that you have a strong, specific question in mind. You usually cannot ask about multiple things at once in the same question, it muddies the waters of wisdom that you will receive. Once you have formulated your question, there are different ways to proceed. Some practitioners choose to ask about several different choices with regards to a situation and use Mo to figure out which one has the most favorable outcome. Others make sure to throw the Mo Dice multiple times about the same question to make sure that the answer is firm.

The last step before casting your Mo dice is blowing on them. This transfers the power of the mantras you have recited into the dice. Then, you toss the dice one by one, recording the order of the symbols, and use them to answer your question. The same approach can be applied to Online Mo Dice Divination: just before casting you should blow on your phone or laptop screen, and when you're ready, press the button to roll Mo Dice.

Traditional use of Mo Dice Divination

While Tibetans use six-sided dice printed with the characters of Mo divination, those can be hard to find elsewhere. If for some reason you do not want to use the online version of the Mo Dice then, in that case, you can use a regular six-sided dice with numbers. The numbers and Mo symbols match up as follows:
