Shi Fu, what is 下降日 for? and why we have to celebration? xie xie
ReplyDeleteXia Jiang Ri is a Day that the Deities descend into this Mortal World to do salvation according to their task and authority being appointed to them.
ReplyDeleteIn Taoism, almost everyday, there will be a Deity who is being appointed to descend into the Mortal World.
We dont really celebrate but as a Taoist, we need to at least pay a simple respect to the Deity.
Thank you Shi Fu.
ReplyDeleteohhh.. just founded on my book
ReplyDelete十月廿三日周倉將軍爺千秋
sifu..may i know who is 虛靖天師??thanks...i wish u all the best in carrying the continuity of Upright taoism of..what did our Master Zhang who recently got Enlightenment has did for the sake of mankind...thanks..
ReplyDeletePlease enlight me, shi fu... what is the diffrent between Du Di Gong and Mother Lord of Earth? Thank you before...
ReplyDeleteIf I am not wrong, Tu Di Gong is just one of the many Subordinates under Di Mu Yuan Jun.
ReplyDeleteZhou Cang's BD had passed, on the 23rd is considered as a form of Anniversary for him, so this time round, I didnt include him inside.
ReplyDeleteXu Jing Tian Shi is the 30th Generation Heavenly Master, which is the descendant of Heavenly Master Zhang Dao Ling.
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Master is there to keep the Promotion of Upright Culture of Taoism going-on. For them, they dont need to do much tasks, just needed to be there to do the necessary blessing and inspection on the on-going of the activities in Taoism.
Di Mu Yuan Jun is a Female Deity that being Manifested after this Planet Earth had being formed. So in-order to look after the issues that related to the Beings on the Mortal World.
ReplyDeleteAs for Tu Di, he(them) are Deities that got enlighted from Beings or being appointed to stand guard at a certain point on the Earth.
Like what Yoke Hong had replied, some of the Tu Di do needed to do report to Di Mu & Di Guan Da Di while things happened, etc.
Oh i c, xie xie Shi fu
