Last Night, at 11.30Pm (30 minutes before 25th Day of Lunar 12 Month arrives), Long Shan Men had made the necessary preparation for the ushering in of Jade Emperor of Heaven (玉皇大天尊) for the Annual Inspection Day (玉皇出巡行天下).
Upon completing the necessary spreading out of the Offerings, Incenses were being offered in-order to make the necessary report to Jade Emperor of Heaven while he’s making his Inspection around the whole Mortal World.
After 5 minutes, the Paper Offerings were being retrieved and send for Burning Off.
For those who have yet to pay your respect, please do so before Temple closed today.
ReplyDeletesifu, can i know what is the 3 deities name ?
ReplyDeleteNan dou xing jun , dou mu xing jun, bei dou xing jun and wang tian jun
ReplyDeletewhy Nan Dou Xing Jun and Bei Dou Xing Jun are place this way ?
ReplyDeleteI thought should be the other way i.e. Bei Dou on the Left and Nan Dou on the right.(see fm this picture)
Sorie, could be my mistake. For this perhaps need Master jave advice..
ReplyDeleteI always mix them up..
Sorry, I dont mean anything. I also dont know wheither I m right or not. It just always see temple place them in this way. I think better get a shifu to check and revert
ReplyDeleteIs ok, we all here to share and learn.
ReplyDeleteyes, u r rgt. in our culture or rather to say in taoism/buddhism knowledge, practise and study, a lot things and knowledge to learn from one another. no one can say that he/she know everything are he/she is always right. Agree ??
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteYes, Nan Bei Dou shall be place in this way. Since Zhang Tian Shi promoted the Culture of Nan Bei Dou, Bei Dou is already being place on the Dragon side, but due to MOrtals' Mistakes, the position changed during passing down.
ReplyDeleteFor Long Shan Men, we are trying to correct it by following the Han Dynasty way and quite happy that now, many of the Temples & Taoist Groups are changing too.
noted and thanks for yr replied.
