No such thing as ‘lucky day’ or ‘lucky color’ etc. in Buddhism.
Using well-spoken words, humility, contentment, gratitude and hearing the good Dhamma; this is the best good luck
The Buddha considered such practices as fortune telling, wearing magic charms for protection, fixing lucky sites for building, prophesizing and fixing lucky days to be useless superstitions and he expressly forbids his disciples to practice such things. He calls all these things ‘low arts.’
“Whereas some religious men, while living of food provided by the faithful make their living by such low arts, such wrong means of livelihood as palmistry, divining by signs, interpreting dreams… bringing good or bad luck… invoking the goodness of luck… picking the lucky site for a building, the monk Gotama refrains from such low arts, such wrong means of livelihood” by Venerable S. Dhammika

yes the budha also said "do not idolize me" , it is sad to see some using his name to "raise" themselves to that stature, i have come to accept my dharma master as my guide after reading one of her books where she was saying that even her have to work the gardens for her daily alms , if she doesn't work she doesn't eat.
peace to you all

+Eric Soulliage You are awesome! Way to live! I agree with your dhamma master. Every day, I am surrounded by superstitious human beings, hard to talk about the true dhamma. Most people are only using Buddha's name for fame, money and power, brainwashing people to believe in false teaching…

Thank you so much for sharing this info and for reading my posts and the kind words +Eric Soulliage I believe in the principle of Cause and Effect, believe in Karma, I accept everything with a smile, whether it's bad or good, because nothing is permanent, not even our suffering. By the way, I live in Massachusetts, near Boston, U.S.A.

people always move from low to higher levels.. the problem with us is that we get content with the materialistic achievements and never try hard to know the real happiness and truth.
