Paying Respect to Deities of Wealth at Temple & Home (敕開財庫日之祭祀)

Yesterday, the 26th Day of Lunar 1 Month (20 Feb 2009), was considered as the Day where our Dearest Deities of Wealth Opening of the Spiritual Coffer in-order to provide the necessary Blessings for the Mortals & other Beings.

As usual, Long Shan Men (龍山門) will pay respect to Deities of Wealth in-order to request for necessary Blessings for the Mortals & our Country.

In late Noon, 2 of the Official Disciples of Long Shan Men 36th Generation and I arrived at Sembawang Cai Shen Temple (三巴旺財神廟). By the time we reached the Temple, the Temple was already crowded with Devotees (even though yesterday was a Friday). Seeing them queue-up for the Blessing Ceremony conducted by the China Priests, we went to the Altar outside the Temple to lay out our Offerings and start with our Honouring.

After lighting the Incenses, we pay respect to the Heaven & San Qing (三清道祖) and the 2 Disciples started to recite the Mantras in front of the Main Urn and Main Altars. Upon completion, we offered our Incenses and then proceed with the Burning of Paper-offerings.

Regular routine took place again, after visiting the Cai Shen Temple, I were sure to visit the Ma Zu Temple (天后宮) situated at the side of Cai Shen Temple to pay respect to Ma Zu and the 2 Generals. This time round, 2 Golden Pendants of Ma Zu (sembawang_mazutemple_01 - 02) were being bought for my Disciples and got enhanced in the Temple.

Just before we left for the last Temple located at the rear compound, the 2 Disciples started to seek approval from Ma Zu by using the Divination Block (聖筊) and both of them got the necessary replies after 3 trials (not easy to get).

Proceeding to Peng Lai Temple, we offered our Incenses and left for late lunch at Causeway Point. So co-incidence, famous Taiwan Actress Yang Cheng Ling (楊丞淋
) and other 2 Male Actors were in the Shopping Mall to have their Meeting with Fans session and the whole Shopping Mall was crowded with people. After a quick lunch cum dinner, we proceed to Eunos to meet up with a few Religious People to observe on the on-going Celebration held besides the MRT Station.

Soon after observing at the Tentage, the whole group of us proceed to the nearby Hawker Center to have a 2 hours chit chat on Religions and due to time is getting late, we had to bid goodbye and agreed to arrange for another session soon.

After departing, we proceed to the 12th Disciple's Home to pay respect to Deity of Wealth before the Clock striked 0000 hour. We were so lucky to reach his place 15minutes before 0000 hour. With the 3 people & 6 arms, we prepared the necessary Offerings in a quick speed and just before 0000 hour, we offered our Incenses (studenthome_caishen_01 - 04).

Due to rushing back from so many events, we settled down at the Disciple's home for awhile before proceeding to burn off the Paper-offerings, while resting, the 2 Disciples started to show interest in learning our Taoist Practical Skills and so, without hesitation, we started to do a few procedure training in the wee-hours.

Looking at the Clock, I realised that it was already 2Am-plus and so, we proceed to burn off the Paper-offerings. Soon after the burning was completed, the 12th Disciple seems to have replenished with Full & Positive Energies and so, he suggested that we walked all the way to Bedok Reservior to have a rest, enjoying the Breeze and chit-chat, all of us agreed and so, we proceed our journey there.

Upon reaching, the whole place was quiet and cooling, so we climb our way up to the mid-level of the small hill and sat down. After a short rest, we started to chit-chat on Taoism, analysing the Future of our local Taoism and also sensing the Energies-changing in the Surrounding Enivornment. As we chit-chating, the time almost slip-thru, by the time we finished chit-chating and had a quick drink, the time had reached 6.00Am in the morning.

Just as we about to leave for home, the 10th Disciple suggested that we pay a visit to the nearby Temple - Loyang Pek Kong Temple (洛陽大伯公宮) and so, within hesitation again, we proceed there. With a quick honouring, we left for breakfast at Changi Village and then, head home for Bed.

This is really a Joyous, Energise, Spiritual and Fulfilled Day.
