Its again the arrival of the important Day for ALL Taoists to honour our Founder of Taoism – Heavenly Master Zhang Dao Ling (正一祖天師).
On the 18th Day of Lunar 5 Month, it is considered as another Manifestation Anniversary for Heavenly Master Zhang (some contexts dated as 15th Day of Lunar 1 Month).
This Year, 2010, it falls on 29 June, a Tuesday.
On this Day, as usual, the Taoists will visit Temples that dedicate Altars to Heavenly Master Zhang to pay their respect, besides that, in other Countries in Asia, Grand & Official Ceremonies/Rituals will be conducted dedicating to Heavenly Master for the Credits of Founding Taoism and the Promoting of the Upright Teaching of Zheng Yi Sect (正一天師道).

ReplyDeleteReally Happy and Shock to see that so many People from various places & countries are preparing for the honouring.
It felt Wonderful and Great.
For those who have yet to prepare, it is still early, so do try to get some simple offerings for the Honouring Respect.
