After 2 Months of Discussion and Preparation, finally the Day had arrived and the Initiation for Long Shan Men 1135th Anniversary (正一龍山門) had being carried out.

On the 15th Day of Lunar 5 Month ( 農曆五月十五日 26 Jun 2010), the Initiation Ceremony and Annual Celebration for Fei Jie Fu (正一龍山飛捷府) was being conducted at Vabien Lee’s House (special thanks to Vabien’s Mum for the assisting & preparing).

At about 11.00Am in the Morning, I arrived at Vabien’s House to assist in the last part of the Preparation and at about 12.30Pm, the Ceremony started with 1st, performing the Cleansing, Invitation of Deities, Reporting and then the Dotting for the New Statues, Qi Lin Tian Guan (麒麟天官) and the carriage of Heavenly Marshal Jiang – the White Horse (飛捷白馬).

By 1.45Pm, the Dotting Ceremony was completed and then, the Anniversary Honouring & Birthday Respect was being conducted by the Initiation of making 9 Kowtows (三跪九叩) in front of ALL the Invited Deities and the Main Star of the Day.

After then, a report was being done and asking for the permission of the Re-opening of the Overall In-charge of the Six Official Departments of Long Shan Men – Liu Fu Du An Ge (六府都案閣), and with a successful approval, the request was being granted and from the Day onwards, Vabien Lee was being appointed as the Overall In-charge of Liu Fu Du An Ge (六府都察).

By around 3.00Pm, the Honouring Ceremony was done and the Sending Off of the Paper Offerings was done by shifting ALL the Paper Items down to the Open Field under the Block. Thanks to Gerald Lim for calling the HDB Board for the requesting of the multiple Cans for the Burning.

After the Sending Off of the Paper Offerings, we were able to have a short rest and reward ourselves by having a Good & Wonderful Meal. Thanks to Vabien’s Mum for preparing the Good Food for us.

At about 8.00Pm in the Evening, it’s the Final Ceremony for the Day. After preparing the necessary Items, the Ceremony for the Salvation of the Wandering Souls was being conducted and this time round, Vabien was there to conduct the Invitation of Heavenly Lord Tai Yi (太乙救苦天尊), Cleansing & Enhancing of the Water and last, to summon the Wandering Souls for the collecting of the Offerings.

Upon Completion on the Reporting, Cleansing & Enhancing of the Water, we proceed down to the Open Field under the Block again for the Salvation of the Wandering Souls.
