On 18 Apr 2009, which was considered as the Manifestation Anniversary of Empress Lord of the Sea aka Ma Zu (天上聖母媽祖), a Manifestation Anniversary Ceremony was being conducted at Gerald's Home (36th Generation 12th Disciple).
At about 11.30Am, Me and Vabien (36th Generation 9th Disciple)arrived at Gerald's Place while Luke (36th Generation 10th Disciple) was already there to assist his Junior to do some simple Preparation for the Ceremony.
At about 12.00 Noon, before the Ceremony started (Pic 01-04) with a simple Report and Paying Respect to San Qing Dao Zu (三清道祖).
Once the Incense-holder was hold-over to Gerald (Pic 05-09), the Manifestation Anniversary Ceremony started.
With the Invitation of Ma Zu & other Deities, a Spiritual Petition was being recited and after the recitation, the Petition was being Burnt infront of All the Deities in-order to show the Gratitude and requested for witnessing of the Conducting of the Ceremony (Pic 10-12).
Upon completion of the Burning of the Petition, Gerald & his Mum take-turn to Offer Wine & Tea to the Deities (Pic 13-14), following by chanting of Bao Gao aka Praise Mantra (寶誥) & Taoist Scripture (Pic 15).
With the completion of the Chanting, it was about time to do the Sending-off of Paper-offerings. With the asking of Permission (Pic 16-18) to Ma Zu, a Positive-approval was given and with that Authority, the Sending-off of Deities & Paper-offerings were conducted.
All Paper-offerings were being brought down to do Sending-off (Pic 19-21). During the Burning, a Mantra was being recited by Me in-order for the Offerings to be allowed to Transform into Blessing.
During the Sending-off of Petition, Vabien & Gerald saw the Clouds infront of the Building changed into Dragon & Phoenix (Pic 22-23).
