Last Year, Jave Wu had do some simple introduction on the Ushering of Lord Fu Lu Shou to One’s Home on the 1st Day of Lunar 1 Month aka Lunar New Year Day (大年初一/新正日). This Year, Jave Wu will like to enhance more on the last year introduction, in-order for those who have miss the posting, to have another chance in knowing more on this Official & Accurate Practice in Taoist Culture.

So what shall Oneself prepare for the Ushering of Lord Fu Lu Shou?

For those who prefer Easy and Simple honouring, you can just prepare a set of 3 Good Long Incenses, 3 cups of warm Chinese Tea or Wine and a set of 5 Oranges for the Ushering.

For those prefer more Grand Honouring, you can add on the Five Taoist Offerings (道教五供, Huat Kueh (發糕一個), a Set of 5 Longevity Buns (壽桃包五粒), a packet of Longevity Noodle (長壽面一包), a Set of 12 Traditional Sweet Stuffs (十二齋碗), 3 Sets of Tian Gong Paper (天公金三疊) & 3 Sets of San Bao Jin (三寶金三疊).

After setting up the Offerings on a small Desk, which must face the Heaven in any Direction, Oneself shall Recite the Offering Incense Incantation (祝香神咒) and then call upon the Official Title of Lord Fu Lu Shou (福祿壽三星君).

The Official Title can be just Fu Lu Shou San Xing Jun (福祿壽三星君) or Zhong Tian Bei Ji Zi Wei Di Jun (中天北極紫微帝君), Jiu Tian Si Lu Wen Chang Di Jun (九天司祿文昌帝君) & Nan Tian Yan Shou Chang Sheng Di Jun (南天延壽長生帝君).

After calling upon the Official Title, Recite the Praise Mantra aka Bao Gao (寶誥) of Lord Fu Lu Shou:

Upon completion, Report Oneself’s Name and Residing Address and then make your Requesting.

Once the requesting is Done, make 3 Sincere Bows and then return back into the House.

After entering into the House, leave the Door open (with Gate locked for safety) until the whole family going to rest.

Once All these are being done, Lord Fu Lu Shou will be there to bestow the Blessing for the whole Family.

Do also look up into the Sky, cos Tonight, Fu Lu Shou Stars (Orion Stars) are usually the Brightest in the whole Year (check out on the Posting at http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2008/02/pictures-of-fu-lu-shou-aka-three_8987.html).

Do remember, do not go to any Un-official Temples or Organisation to join in any such Ceremonies, especially those that required Big Sum of Money. They are just trying to use the Name of Deities to gain the Un-necessary Money.

In here, Jave Wu had also created a Poster dedicating to Lord Fu Lu Shou according to the Traditional Scroll that Taoists used in the Past. Oneself just needed to download the Poster and print it onto a Red or Pink A4 Size Paper. During the Honouring, place the Poster in front of the Urn and after Honouring, Retrieve the Poster and Paste it on the Wall where One’s Home Altar is. For those without Altar, just Paste it in the Living Room where everyone can see it everyday.
