A year is about to end and its almost time for those who requested blessings from Tai Sui aka Lord of Year & Age during the beginning of the Year, to show their gratitude for Lord Tai Sui.
For those who signed up for the Tai Sui blessing Ritual/Ceremony before Li Chun Day (立春) or during the Lunar New Year Period (農曆新春期間), for this End-of-year Period, a Thanks-Giving Ritual/Ceremony will be conducted by the Spiritual Master again (in the Temple or Taoist Organisation that you joined or visit), 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 an Official Thanks-Giving Spiritual Petition for Lord Tai Sui (謝太歲疏文).
PS: For those who need the Spiritual Petition, you can contact me for that
After preparing the necessary items, do go back to your respective temple to pay respect to the Lord Tai Sui.
So when is the best period to return the gratitude?
Usually when we entered in the Lunar 11 Month (for 2008, it starts on 28 Nov), we can start to perform the Thanks-Giving Ceremony/Ritual.
And Best will be, to do it before Dong Zhi Festival 冬至 (for 2008, will be before 21 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 (11 Jan 2009), then it will consider as "over-due".
Last of all, always maintain a sincere mind & soul and be faithful while paying respect to Lord Tai Sui. Once one self is sincere and faithful, without any offerings, one self will still get the blessings from Lord Tai Sui.
For those who got-in-conflict with Lord Tai Sui, need not feel bad or sad, cos no necessary for one self who got-in-conflict with Lord Tai Sui will have bad-luck thru-out the year.
As long as you are upright and sincere, you will be blessed.

ReplyDeleteThis depend on your request and the advise that the person who perform the Honouring of Lord Tai Sui during the beginning of the year. If they said yes, then you better get 2 bottles, if not... you can just prepare some simple offerings for the Offering will do.

Hi Sifu, my friend forgot to conduct thanksgiving for Tai Sui becos she doesn't know the rules. Last year the sembawang god of wealth temple told her that they would mail reminder to her when thanksgiving is due but they didn't. She thought thanksgiving is on Chinese New Year. So what should my friend do now?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, now is a bit late le, cos the new Tai Sui had arrived for service le.
ReplyDeleteFor the moment, I can only advise your Friend to honour this Year's Tai Sui for the next 6 Months. Cos somehow, the confliction of Tai Sui from last year will last for another 3-6 months.
