Taoist Ritual - Pre-Crossing of Fire (道教儀式之過火前奏)





In here, you all will be watching a Video Clip on the Pre-Crossing of the Fire Ceremony.

In the Video Clip, you will see the Spiritual Masters of Lv Shan Sect doing the Chanting and Enhancing of the Fire, besides that, they are also Calling-upon the Spiritual Armies to perform the Guarding of the Fire Premises, avoiding any form of Negative Entities from coming near.

Hope you all enjoy.

  2. This is the Oldest & Traditional Form of Dance or Steps. In Taoism, in some Contexts known as Sheng Wu (聖舞).

    Not easy to see in South East Asia. Can say its a Sad thing.

  3. There are many method of fire ceremony, in Malaysia it's not square in shape but long (about 4-5m). What they used is almost the same. Fu, salt/rice/tea, 5 colored flags, whip etc. Normally it's done during the temple's anniversary and the main urn is carried in the fire ceremony followed by all the statues.

    It's good to walk across the hot charcoal, it simply feel very comfortable after crossing. The feeling is great, feel very relax for the body and mind. Give it a try when you have the chance.

  5. In Indonesia specially in West Java, this fire crossing is done quite frequently in many temples' celebrations. Usualy red hot charcoal of 2 meters wide and over 12 meter long forming the fire path way. All visitors of the temple celebration if they wish can participate in the fire walking ritual - children and older people, men and women. Fascinating.
