On the 25th Day of Lunar 5 Month (17 Jun 2009), a Dotting Ceremony was being conducted at Long Shan Men 36th Generation Disciple Vabien's Home.
This time round, New Statues were being dotted and some Spiritual Objects were being enhanced.
Besides that, Inviting of Fire-Blessing was also being done (See Pic 03).
The 4 Statues are:
1) Meng Shan Da Yuan Shuai (孟山大元帥)
2) Bei Dou Xing Jun (北斗星君)
3) Nan Dou Xing Jun (南斗星君)
4) Lv Shan Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai (閭山中壇元帥)
Spiritual Objects are:
1) Peach-wood Seven Stars Sword (桃木七星劍)
2) Jiang Xian Guan Authorisation Flag (江仙官令旗)
As usual, the Dotting Ceremony started at about 9.00Am in the Morning and last for about 2 Hours.

Shifu, nice altar, nice statues and nice ceremony!
ReplyDeleteA question: when do you have to wear your daoist robe? I see you wore a polo-shirt and the changed to daoist robe :-)
It would be nice, if you also write the deity name on the photo/comment when you dotted every statue? just to identify.
By the way, do you take also some photos of dotting ceremony of my Wen Chang Di Jun and put the photos here? ;-)
Warm regards,
Yang
Lv Shan Zhong Tan appears in 3-Heads-6-Arms form?
ReplyDeleteWhy was Zhong Tan chosen?
What's that Scripture in the Picture?
ReplyDeleteIt's very nice.
Hi Yang,
ReplyDeleteUsually I will only wear the Taoist Robe when the Ceremony actually started.
The Polo-tee time is when I'm doing the Preparation.
For your Wen Chang, I might not be able to take such Photo, cos for your is only a Enhancement Method whereas the Ceremony you see here need more preparations.
Thats the Dotting Ceremony Scripture.
ReplyDeleteThis was Chosen due to in Singapore, we cant find the Actual Form of Lv Shan Zhong Tan.
ReplyDeleteWhy was Lv Shan Zhong Tan chosen to be on the Altar?
ReplyDeleteCos we are practising the Spiritual Skills.

Hi Shifu, I know. I said it not very seriously (see the smiley) :-)
ReplyDeleteSomeday if I have such good altar (covered with red cloth) and when you come here, I would ask you to perform such nice and holy ceremony for all posters and statues I have *bow .. this time is serious*.
Warm regards,
Yang

Hahaha, I know, no worries :P
ReplyDeletelv shan zhong tan form is??? have picture of it. err why zhong tan will have lv shan "form"? ani info? =)
ReplyDeleteTo be accurate, the Zhong Tan that we see today is from the Story of Feng Shen Bang. And besides that, the Zhong Tan that we see in Feng Shen Bang is actually the Form of Hua Guang aka Ma Yuan Shuai.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Elders, Lv Shan Zhong Tan shall look like a General with Beard (looking like Yue Fei) or A Young General that look like Hua Guang (the normal form that we usually see).
For the Moment, I do not have the Pic, will try to draw out soon.
