Xuan Tian Shang Di Invitation Mantra Intro 1 (玄天上帝神咒簡介)

Here, I will do a quick intro on the following Mantra that use to do invitation for Xuan Tian Shang Di (玄天上帝).

 

This Mantra is not commonly used in South East Asia (東南亞), 1 reason is that, this Mantra is not being passed down to any Lineage in this area.

 

This is a Mantra used by Lv Shan Sect aka Lv Shan Pai (閭山派) or known as Fa Zhu Gong Pai 法主公派 (which Specialize in Spiritual Skills and Culture).

 

In the Mantra, you can see, besides that normal Assistants of Xuan Tian Shang Di & the normal Protectors of Lv Shan Sect, Long Shu Wang (龍樹王) is also being invited. Why? To enhance the necessary Energies and also, to add on the Positive Effect that the Temple or the Spiritual Group needed (such as Sintua, Fa Tan, etc).

 

Ok, here the quick translation on the Mantra (never treat any translation as a Final or Exact one, translation for Taoist Writings can only be treated as a form of reference, only by knowing the surface meaning of the Writing, then one self shall do more understanding, find-out and Realising of the Deeper meaning & wisdom)
