A year is about to end and its time for those who requested blessings from Tai Sui, aka Lord of Year & Age, to return their gratitude to him.

For those who signed up for the Tai Sui blessing Ritual/Ceremony during the Lunar New Year Period, for this end-of-year, a Thanks Giving Ritual/Ceremony will be conducted by the Spiritual Master again, the devotees just needed to go back to the Temple to get registered for the Thanks Giving Ritual/Ceremony, the Spiritual Master will assist in performing the Thanks Giving Respect on behalf of the devotees.

For those who didn't signed up for such Ritual/Ceremony, one self can prepared a set of 5 oranges (五粒桔子), 1 packet of tea leaves (茶葉一包), 1 packet of Traditional Cookies (餞盒一包) and 1 set of incense-paper (1000 normal Gold-paper 千金一份, 1 pack of Gui Ren-paper 貴人紙一套) and go back to temple to pay respect to the same Tai Sui.

So when is the best period to return the gratitude?

Best is to do it before Dong Zhi Festival 冬至 (for 2007, will be before 22 Dec), but if one self is not able to perform that before this period, one self can always do it before 16th Day of Lunar 12 Month (尾牙前). Once over 16th Day of Lunar 12 Month (23 Jan 2008), then it will consider as "over-due".

Last of all, always maintain a sincere mind & soul and be faithful while paying respect to Tai Sui. Once one self is sincere and faithful, without any offerings, one self will still get the blessings from Tai Sui.

For those who got-in-conflict with Tai Sui, need not feel bad or sad, cos no necessary for one self who got-in-conflict with Tai Sui will have bad-luck thru-out the year.

As long as you are upright and sincere, you will be blessed.
