Tian Gong Temple’s Dotting Ceremony & Luck Blessing Ritual 2010 (萬壽山天公廟庚寅年開光法會)

11 July 2010 (Sunday), Lunar 5 Mth the 30th, Telok Blangah Tian Gong Temple had conducted a Dotting Ceremony for 3 New Statues. This Dotting Ceremony was quiet special, cos for more than 30 years, Tian Gong Temple had not been conducting any Dotting Ceremony for Statues.

Upon arriving at the Temple at 11.00Am, I was greeted by Bro Darren & Sis Amy, whom specially came down for the Sharing Session on Chinese Door Deity’s Culture. Slowly, more and more of our old Friends had arrived and at about 11.30Am, the Sharing Session started by making some simple introduction on the Temple.

Surprises to a lot of People, Telok Blangah Tian Gong Temple was built in 1851 (about 160 years ago – initially known as Guan Yin Tang 觀音堂) and later in 1923, the name of the Temple changed to Tian Gong Temple (天公廟) due to some Spiritual Encounters.

Soon after the Sharing Session ended, it was Jave’s time to conduct the last part Ritual for the Day and so, with a short preparation, the Taoist Ritual started at about 3.00Pm.

1st was to send the Petition to Jade Emperor of Heaven (玉皇大天尊) for the reporting on the Event of the Day and also to invite the various Deities to join in this Joyous Ceremony.

Then after the reporting was done, a Respect Chanting was done infront of the 3 New Dotted Statues and last, making Respect to Fu De Zheng Shen (福德正神).

Before the whole Ceremony ended, a Wealth Distribution Ceremony was done and Enhanced Ancient Coins were being distributed to the Devotees to bring home for Luck-boosting.

At about 5.00Pm, the Ceremony ended with Joyous, Laughters & Sweat.

Special Thanks to ALL People who make an effort to drop by and special Thanks to Bro Raymond Goh of API and Sis Amy for sharing with us the Pictures & Videos. Hope to update more Pictures when time to come.

And also, Million Thanks to Vabien for assisting in the Conducting of the Ritual despite that, it was his Birthday on that Day.
