So fast, the 9 Days Celebration dedicating to Dou Mu (斗姆) & Lord Bei Dou (北斗九皇星君) is over. This Year, even though Long Shan Men did not conduct a Grand Celebration for the 9th Month, but I'm sure, the Deities are still happy with the arrangements that Long Shan Men's disciples had made.
This Year, Long Shan Men supposed to have a Celebration in the 9th Month dedicating to the Founding Anniversary, but due to some issues, so the Celebration has to be postponed to the later part of the Month. Once the Date is confirmed, Address of the Celebration Premises will be posted in the Event Calendar. Hope that by that time, ALL of our Taoist Friends & Buddies here can come and join in the Joyous Fun.
1 Year had passed and most of the Disciples of Long Shan Men had got their Certs & necessary Training for the promoting of the Taoist Culture. In here, I will really like to extend my Sincere Thanks to Davis & Vabien Lee. Both of them had never failed me in the Things that I asked them to complete and also, these 2 of them really put in Effort & Initiative to take actions on Celebrations & Preparations for Rituals & Ceremony.
Besides them, Donnie Tay is one of the Disciples that who assist me in getting issues settled whether is Financial or Legal Registrations.
Last will be Alvin Chua & Gerald Lim. With their Moral Supports & Keen-ness in learning Taoism, both of them gave me the necessary Motivation & Forces to go on further. And of cos, in-between, some arguements or disagreements may have happened, but with the Close-bonding that everyone has, lots of Issues are solved within a short period.
And with ALL the supports from the Family Members of ALL these Disciples, Long Shan Men felt Proud and Happy.
Even though this Year is a Busy Year and in-between, some minor issues had happened, but it is still a Fruitful Year with a lot of susprises for Long Shan Men.
Million Thanks to those who have engaged Long Shan Men for conducting Rituals & Ceremonies for their Celebrations & Deities. Besides that, also have to thanks those who have put in Trust in Long Shan Men for approaching for Advises for their Temples, Sintuas or Taoist Groups. With ALL such Supports, I'm sure our Local Taoism can grow back & go far.
Before Ending this Posting, Jave Wu will like to Thank everyone for giving us the Necessary Supports for the past few Years. With the Encouragement, Understanding & Commenting, Long Shan Men will do even Better in the future.
Million Thanks & San Wu Liang (三無量).
On the 8th Day of Lunar 9 Month, Long Shan Men (龍山門) conducted a Simple Honouring Ceremony dedicating to Dou Mu Yuan Jun (斗姆元君), Nan Bei Dou Xing Jun (南北斗星君) & Nine Emperors (九皇星君) at Wan Shou Shan Tian Gong Miao (萬壽山天公廟 located at Telok Blangah Height besides Block 45).
This Year, even though Long Shan Men did not take in new students, but 2 new Disciples of 35th & 36th Generation joined in the Honouring.
At around 11.00Am, I arrived at the Temple to do the necessary preparation for the Honouring, after Vabien arrived, we started the Honouring by paying our respect to Jade Emperor (玉皇大天尊) first and then Dou Mu Yuan Jun (斗姆元君) and other Deities, during the paying respect to these Deities.
After All the related Deities were being called upon, a short reporting was being made and soon after the report was made, Dou Mu Yuan Jun and other Deities were being informed on the Newly Addition Members of Long Shan Men and also, the Promotion Issues of the Current Existing 36th Generation Disciples (refer to Picture 32 - 35). Special Petitions & Holders were being prepared by Vabien (refer to pic 36).
After 2 rounds of reporting, the 2 New Members of Long Shan Men arrived at the Temple and so, a Final round of Reporting & Honouring was made before the Sending Off of the Paper Offerings was done.
After then, the group of 4 of us went to do the Sending-off of the paper-offerings, after the huge quantity of paper-offerings being set-up in the burning area, a Spiritual Fire was being lighted. During the burning, both of us were there to observe the burning and yes, indeed the things that I expected happened, which meant that, the Spiritual Reporting was being done successfully.
Soon the fire started to tame-down and so, we left the Temple very soon after another round of chit-chatting and paying respect.

Really Million Thanks.
Dear All,
Recently, another "uncommentable topic" has been brought up again for discussion and I'm sure, now alot of Mediums out in the Society is starting to "rub their hand knuckles" again, preparing to stand guard on being put into black-listed list or etc.
In Taoism, in-order not to Downgrade the Value of such Spiritual Registration, ALL Zheng Yi Sect (正一道宗) Priests or Spiritual Masters/Teachers & Taoists are being registered accordingly to the Ancient Records known as Tian Tan Yu Ge (天壇玉格). Without refering to this Record, NO Registration is allowed to be done. And if a Trained or Official Taoist Master shall know that, in Tian Tan Yu Ge, there are a few Statements made on Mediumship and so, without proper Training or at least 3 years of cultivation, NO ONE is allowed to be registered.
Another Issue is that, for Mediumship Registration, the Registrating Mediums must go thru the Ancient Records of Jing Ming Sect (淨明道宗), known as Lv Shan Ji Sheng Yu Lu (閭山乩生玉錄), quite similar to Tian Tan Yu Ge used in Zheng Yi Sect, if not, NO matter where the Mediums are registered is still considered as USELESS.
So for those who came out with the idea of Regulating Mediums, please do put in effort in getting the knowledge and spend more time on these 2 Records. Besides that, the Registration Sector must prepare the 24 Rules (廿四戒), 36 Regulations (卅六章) & 48 Mantras/Incanations (四十八咒) for the Mediums. Without ALL these, Mediums wont be able to understand how a Medium shall Function or "Operate".
All these are the basic, so those who wanted to register but dont know whether the Registration is Valid or Not, please ask the Registration Officers for the details on the above Records & Terms.
Last of ALL, Good Luck to ALL Sintuas & Mediums.
