Taoism (道教), the Root Culture and Only Faith of All Chinese. This is a Fact and a Reality that cannot be changed or moved since the Day Yellow Emperor (軒轅黃帝) fix the Ancient China as the Main-land for Chinese or those who are born with Yellowish-complexion.

180 odd years ago, Taoism came into Singapore and maybe this is fated to allow our Taoism to grow its new Root in South East Asia. After 180 odd years, Taoism started to grow alive again. No because Taoism wanted to let more people make use of its name to gain Commercial Value, but hoping that Taoism will assist more Chinese to find back their own Root.

30 Years ago, Long Shan Men (龍山門) had been forced to close down due to my Grandmaster & Master who had tried to promote the Upright Culture of Taoism by assisting people without getting Physical In-returns. By then, a lot of our Local Commercial Taoist Groups ganged up to boycott Long Shan Men and worst, caused Physical Injuries of the Disciples of Long Shan Men and thus, a lot of public started to see Long Shan Men in the negative way.

In 1970s, my Grandmaster decided to Seal Long Shan Men. Reasons of doing so, to allow the Commercial Taoist Groups to gain whatever they wanted to gain, secondly, allow Taoism in Singapore to meet up with it's Doom Day in-order for the New Energy to re-start back.

And yes, what my Grandmaster's prediction had come true in about 5 years back.

Today, why Long Shan Men decided to come back to do preaching again, cos Long Shan Men had seen things getting worst and some of our Local Taoist Groups had got their punishment of being Commercial and Conning on our Folks' hard-earned money.

After 30 years of struggling and reflection, Long Shan Men decided to stand up again and be what we shall be and will never change our Objective of assisting the Needy whenever needed.

As we can see and know, Taoism is actually a Pure, Peace and Nice Culture or Faith that belongs to us, the Chinese, but due to Political Issues, Commercial Value & Reputation-gaining, a lot of so-claimed Taoists started to make use of the Name of Taoism to earn a living, build large Temples and worst, using the Money that Taoists donated to buy back Titles and Certificates. This is really ridiculous and ignorant. If this will to continue, I'm sure that our Local Taoism will be gone within another 20-30 Years.

2 Weeks ago, I got the Initiation of being a High Priest (高功) of Taoism. After knowing my Initiation or so-called Promotion, a lot of the Commercial People had approached me, asking me of using my Title to gain some good commercial in-return. First thing that I told them is, if Jave Wu will to use my Title to gain such Commercial In-return, I rather dont want to get my Title. So from here, you can see how corrupted can be when Commercialization involved.

Why cant Taoism be separate from being Commercial?
Why cant Taoist just do the necessary Promoting of the Upright Culture and put down the thoughts of gaining Fame & Reputation?

Lets ponder over this issues.

Just to keep in mind, whatever can be Named, is Temporary, whatever can be seen, will be vanished when the time is ripe. No need to take it too hard or treat it like Gems.

One thing that I really get touched and feel proud, is that, Heaven had sent me a group of Wonderful Disciples & Student.

In 2006, when Long Shan Men was about to start to do the Promoting of Taoism, actually a lot of people had approached me for accepting them as the Student of Long Shan Men, but during that time, I was still considered quite young, so I rejected them.

After consulting my Elders and Seniors in Singapore and Overseas, actually they told me that age was not an issue, the Mindset and the Willingness of accepting them were the main concern. And so, after reconsidering on their suggestions, in Year 2007, I accepted the very 1st batch of Student of Long Shan Men for the 36th Generation.

Due to some issues and the conduct of this batch of Student (about 30-40 student), at the end of Year 2007, the whole batch of Student's names were deleted. People who known me said that why I do such stupid decision as some of the Student in this batch are rich and will be able to assist you in the future (some of them owe Temples & Land). To me, whether you are rich or poor, this doesnt matters me, only those who are willingly to learn and wanting to promote the Upright Culture of Taoism, then these are the Real & Official Student or Disciple of Long Shan Men.

Soon, the 2nd batch of Student were being initialize and became the Official Student. But again, some of them were just wanting to get their Official Title and some necessary Teachings from me. And so, same in-return such Student got – Titles being deleted.

In Year 2008, the 3rd batch Student were being initialize. Till today, this is the best batch of Student that I had ever encountered.

Willingness (大願), Faithfully (大信), Sincerity (大誠), Intelligent (大智), Compassionate (大慈) and Open-minded (大徹). These are the few words that I can use to describe them.

Whenever I bring up these comments, they thank me. Actually I wanted to tell them is that, you all shall thank yourself, cos you all are the ones that willingly to learn, willingly to put down the un-necessary Un-official Teachings and willingly to assist people whenever such people are in need of helps.

You all shall thanks your own Parent for being supportive & open minded of allowing you all to join Long Shan Men, willingly to support you all in their heart and giving Long Shan Men the fullest support.

And also, thanking the Big Dao (大道) for giving you all a chance to come back to this Mortal Realm again to have a chance (maybe the final chance) to continue learning whatever you all had left out in the previous few Lives.

For me, I'm just a media in this Mortal Realm to guide you all along. To me, I didnt gain anything or lose anything, so no need to Thank me (大道無常。無失無得。無為勝之有為。妙中得妙。幻化玄妙。真道亦。).

Last, talk about myself.

Me, again, just a simple person who is the descendant of Long Yi Zhen Jun (龍一真君). Happy to be one and forever is one.

For the moment, just trying my best to do the Promotion of the Upright Culture of Taoism. In the past few years, I had encountered a lot of issues such as Insulting, Putting-me-down, disappointment, Physical-threatening, Mentally-abused, Conning my Money and Facing Life-death-issuse. All these happened to me because the people around me just wanting me to STOP promoting Taoism.But at the end, I overcome them.

Why I overcome them, cos I only believe in one thing – Determination (決心/信心).

No matter what Titles I got and no matter how High I got Bestowed, I'm still I and Jave Wu will still be Jave Wu. Nothing can change me.

Remember this, Jave Wu, born as Taoist and will also, Pass-on as a Taoist. Proud to be one and forever is the One (生為道門道中人。羽化成為道中魂。三魂七魄永結凝。一氣飛昇太虛宮。).

Last of All, wished everyone here, Finding your True Root soon and bring Proud to your Own Root.
