What Is the Three Lives Book?

The Three Lives Book, also known as Sam Sai Shu in Cantonese, is an ancient Chinese fortune-telling book said to be written by Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty. It draws from classic texts including the Six Ren Course, the Five Elements Physiognomy Book, and Yuan Tiangang's Bone Weight Reading to calculate a person's past life, present life, and future life.

The book is rooted in the Buddhist scripture known as the Three Lives Cause and Effect Sutra, and was later developed from Zhuge Liang's Ancient Three Lives Book. It has been used for over a thousand years across Chinese communities.

My  Experience

I work at CS Stationery, and I will be honest — the first time I came across this book, I was not sure what to make of it.

I was going through a difficult period and feeling lost about the future. A friend suggested I take a look. I picked it up out of curiosity, but the more I read, the more I found myself drawn in.

I looked up my own lunar birthday in the wealth section. The personality traits it described matched my life experience more closely than I expected — maybe seven or eight out of ten. It did not feel like superstition. It felt like a prompt to reflect on my own life.

Later I recommended the book to a friend who was struggling with her relationship. Reading through her own section helped her think differently about her patterns in love, and she started making changes from there.

For me, the Three Lives Book is less about fortune-telling and more about self-reflection.

"What you receive in this life is the result of your past life actions. What you do in this life shapes what comes next."

This reminds us that destiny is not fixed. How we live today is what truly shapes tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a fortune teller to use this book?

No. You only need your lunar birth year, month, day, and approximate birth hour. The large-print edition includes clear reference charts so you can look up everything yourself with no prior knowledge of Chinese astrology.

Are the results accurate? Can I change my destiny?

The Three Lives Book treats its readings as guidance rather than fixed outcomes. Your actions in this life influence what the readings mean for you. The core message of the book is to encourage good conduct and positive choices — not to lock you into a predetermined fate.
