The prayer hall has also various other altars. In front of one of the altars for Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (Kuan–yin) people practise the "Vietnamese oracle" (Vietn. "xin xam"). Small sticks in a container are shaken until one of the sticks falls out. The stick has a number. According to the number a respective card is chosen. The little card has a saying or verse which may help to interpret past or future events. During festivals the practice of shaking the sticks is heard non–stop. Photo at the Vesakh festival, May 1999.
