Today, the 15th Day of Lunar 6 Month (農曆六月十五日), as usual, Long Shan Men (龍山門) will celebrate Wang Ling Guan's Manifestation Anniversary (王靈官聖誕 Pic wanglingguanbd_02). This Year, due to time restriction & place constraint, a Minor Honouring Session was conducted.
In the Morning at about 11.00Am, after Davis (the 2nd Disciple of 36th Generation) arrived with the Big Paper Robe (大神袍 Pic wanglingguanbd_03), Dou Jin (斗金 Pic wanglingguanbd_04) & Gong Jin (貢金 Pic wanglingguanbd_05), the Honouring started with Offering Incenses & Wine.
Just at the moment of making the Offering, the Cloudy Sky turned Bright (stay Clear). Davis was delighted to see that, cos at first, he was worried about Raining & the Paper-offerings wont be able to send-off in time.
After Last round of the Offering of Incenses to Wang Ling Guan, the Paper Offerings were being sent for Burning. This time round, a Quick Replenishing of Spiritual Coffer Ceremony (補庫儀) was being conducted and so, the Paper Offerings' Amount was a little Big Large (including the Official Taoist Spiritual Coffer Money 正統道教庫錢 Pic wanglingguanbd_07-09) and so, doing the stacking of Paper Offerings for Burning had to be longer.
And just to be in time before Rain started to Pour, the Burning of Paper Offerings started by doing Cleansing, Reporting with Petition (祝壽疏文 Pic wanglingguanbd_06) & Burning. After the 95% of the Burning was Done, Rain started to Pour like "Pearls-dropping".
At last, Celebration for Wang Ling Guan for Year 2009 was conducted Smoothly & Enjoying.
Note 1: If you all will to take note at the Facial expressions of the Statue of Long Shan Men Wang Ling Guan, you will discover that the Facial expressions keep changing from time to time.
Note 2: For those who are Interested in getting the Spiritual Coffer Money, remember to get the Money in the form that you see here, 50 Coins in Shaded & 50 Coins in Non-shaded. Only this type of Money is considered as the Correct & Useful one.
