This coming Saturday (17 Jul 2010) will be the Day of Tian Kuang Ri (天貺日) and on Sunday (18 Jul 2010), common Folks will celebrate the Opening of the Heavenly Gate which is also known as Tian Men Kai (天門開).

On this Day, while doing the Honouring, there are some things that Oneself shall take note:

1 – Do Shower/Bathe before performing the Honouring

2 – Try to wear Bright Colours like Red, Orange, Purple (omit Yellow)

3 – No Shorts / Mini Skirt or Sleeveless Shirt

Other than that, for those who are conducting Home Honouring, there are some things to take note for the Honouring Table:

1 – The Table must be Stack-up or using a Piece of Gold Incense-paper to place underneath the Leg of the Table (四腳踏金)

2 – Possible, the Table must Face EAST (東方)

3 – Use Red Cloth/Paper to place on top of the Table-surface before placing the Offerings on it

4 – Use the Cleansing Method to do Cleansing for the House before Honouring (pls refer to this link: http://javewu.multiply.com/reviews/item/198)

    Hi Jave,

    Can i also use the Yin/Yang water-5 coloured flowers and a stick of Juniper to clean my house,if i can't use the above mentioned cleansing method?

    Besides paying respect to Jade Emperor i also want to pay respect to Lord Pu,San Guan Da Di and Lord Bei Dou and Nan Dou Xing Jun because i also always pray to them.What is a good way to do this?
    Can i offer the offerings and incense on the honouring table all in their name at the same time.First beginning with incense mantra then the bao gao of Jade Emperor and then callings the other heavenly Deities?Is that ok to do?

    Dear OD,

    Yes, you may do that for the cleansing and also, you are allowed to invite all the deities to your house for honouring by reciting their Bao Gao.
