In the following is a Invitation Mantra dedicated to Marshal Zhao.
This Mantra is usually being used by the Lv Shan Sect Taoist Priests or Masters to do invitation for the Marshal Zhao to arrive at the venue of when the Taoist Ritual is being conducted.
Why is there a Must to do the invitation?
This is to engage Marshal Zhao to arrive to do the necessary protection while the Priests or Masters are performing their Rituals/Ceremonies.
Today, due to lack of teaching, many Temples or Sintuas tend to use this Mantra as the Mantra to use for Mediums-in-trancing, which is not very appropriate.

Bro, does the rosary beads holds any meaning?
ReplyDeletesifu..may i ask why zhau da yuan suai oso called as 五路财神??can briefly describe other 五路财神????
ReplyDeletethanks
No, that is just an offering from the Devotees.
ReplyDeleteTaoist Deities do not need any such beads.
The Term Wu Lu Cai Shen came from or started from the Classic of Feng Shen Bang, when Jiang Zi Ya bestowed Zhao Gong Ming, the other 4 assistants were being appointed to assist Marshal Zhao Gong Ming to lool into the issues that are associated with the Luck of Wealth, etc.
ReplyDeleteAfter then, folks tend to address them as Wu Lu Cai Shen - meaning the 5 Directional Deities of Wealth.
You can refer to the previous postings on Zhao Gong Ming and Cai Shen to look at their intro.
ReplyDeleteHeard that he is the Wu Ying Jiang Jun of the Bei & Xuan Tian Shang Di's side general.
ReplyDeleteNo, Zhao Gong Ming is not in the Wu Ying Jiang Jun Group, that's the Folks misunderstanding and mis-leading teaching.
ReplyDeletehi in the 手執金鞭天地動 is the Tie the correct character? or should it be this 鐵
ReplyDeleteSorry, shall be Jin and not Tie.
ReplyDeletethis is similar to the mantra from our book to invite Marshal Zhao
