開正三元來賜福
開正喫三元，
富貴和圓。
開春有三元，
廣進財源。
三元果，歷史悠久的吉兆小吃，古時在宮廷或富貴人家家中，過年過節一定必備，而且來客一定得吃了才能回家。
三元果，組合種類很多，但如今以“核桃”，“桂圓”及“荔枝圓”爲主。
在道教文化中，新春/開正/三元節/乞財或祭改時，必備給衆人結緣。
在民間，有著一種説法：喫了三元果，脫殼好運保。
今天是開正第一天，有機會，不妨吃三顆哦。
在此祝福大家：
新正開春第一天。
得福得祿得長壽。
丙申猴年頭一日。
慶和慶安慶團圓。
恭喜恭喜。

上供春飯迎新春 Spring
Rice Preparation
在準備春飯(飯春)時﹐幾項事宜須注意﹐一切如下﹕
While Preparing the Spring Rice, there
are a few steps to be aware of;
1 – 飯熟後﹐不能攪拌﹐只能取最上層的熟米飯作為春飯﹐取意﹕人上人。(圖01)
After the Rice is cooked, only scooped
the Top Layer to make Spring Rice (Pic 01)
2 – 飯入碗﹐不可擠壓﹐只能輕輕鋪開以便飯粒顆顆分明﹐取意﹕明是非。(圖02)
Using a Clean Bowl to make Spring Rice,
never push the Rice hard into the Bowl (Pic 02)
3 – 飯落外﹐不可丟棄﹐只能自己吃掉避免浪費寶貴食物﹐取意﹕懂珍惜。(圖02)
If any rice will to drop out, have to
consume it and not to waste it.
4 – 飯添花﹐不可傾斜﹐只能將春花插正以示人正福有春﹐取意﹕添錦花。(圖03)
After placing the rice into the Bowl,
place the Spring Flower first and remember to put it straight-up and not bent
(Pic 03)
5 – 飯加棗﹐不可隱藏﹐只能將紅棗對乘放入春化左右邊﹐取意﹕早得貴。(圖04)
Only after placing the Spring Flower,
then add in Red Dates. Do not press the Dates into the rice, allowed at least
half the Dates to be seen (Pic 04)
6 – 飯上供﹐不可冷卻﹐只能乘燙熱之時與吉紅一起上供﹐取意﹕紅利豐。(圖05.1/.2)
After the Spring Rice is ready to place
on the Altar, it must be presented to the Deities together with Ji-hong, a type
of Traditional soft-candles (Pic 5.1/5.2)
記得春飯（飯春）供上后，衹有等到大年初五(隔開日)才能取下。
取下后，得仔細檢查看春飯（飯春）上的“膏”，之後以“膏”的顔色來預測新一年的運程。
顔色表如下：
紫黃，代表大富大貴，上天護佑，天官賜福。此顔色，十年難得一見，如若有，得行小答謝禮。
大紅，代表當年將有喜事，可期待好事上門，新婚者可有傳嗣之兆。
褐紅，代表吉利，但得注意口舌，不可與他人爭執。
褐或黑褐，代表運勢較低，健康得注意，小病馬上求醫，老人家不可遠行。
丙申猴年。恭賀新禧
感謝大家這一年來的照顧與支持。
有你們在我身邊，我就有衝勁及動力，把道務辦的更好。
希望在新一年裏，我能做的更棒，不讓大家失望。
在此祝福大家：
丙申富貴添喜樂。
猴年大發萬事吉。
恭喜恭喜。

立春上敬平安香
立春上敬平安香
道教上香之法，多不勝數，每種上香法都有個別的意思及代表性，而且還得配合不同場合，不同時節，來上不同的香。
立春來臨，以下兩種道教香法，可在立春開春之時敬上，之後看其變化來預測一年的吉祥：
1 – 四季祈福香
四季，既是春夏秋冬。
在上敬此香法時，爲了祈求一年四季皆能平安度過，大災除滅，小災免來。
上香后，以順時方向觀察，其中一支若有異樣，在那一季就得小心，如若香的高度相差一半，身體就得多加注意。
>>>
春 夏
冬 秋
2 – 六時平安香
道教之中及醫學之中，六時所指如下：
大暑，處暑，秋分，寒露，霜降，大寒
這六時是一年廿四節氣中，變化最大的六個時候，因此人在此六時最容易生病或身體會有異常變化。
在上敬此香法，也是爲了祈求全年平安健康，也可預測在那個時候的多加注意。
上香后，以順時方向觀察:
>>>
大暑 處暑 秋分
大寒 霜降 寒露
在此分享，共大家參考。
祝福大家：
一年四季身體健。
六時無災多興旺。
恭喜恭喜。
三無量。
大樂心。

再過幾個時辰，便是《丙申猴年》立春的到來，也是《值年當政太歲星君》及《本命元辰星君》上任之期。
有與《值年當政太歲星君》及《本命元辰星君》相同年支者，記得在“安奉太歲星君”及“朝禮本命元辰星君”時，自己誦念該“寶誥”，之後在每月初一，初七，十五及本命日（生日），都得在神案前（沒神案者可對天）誦念“寶誥”。
除此之外，在新春期間，也可參與“大型禮斗法會”，道長們會爲您向《值年當政太歲星君》及《本命元辰星君》祈福并祭改。
在此祝福大家：
本命得佑光明興。
太歲除災前途旺。

至心皈命禮。

歲末南北斗星君察巡天下
Annual Inspection of Lord Nan Bei Dou before New Lunar Year
With the completion of the Inspection conducted by Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang (玉皇大天尊), it’s the turn for Star Lord Nan Bei Dou (南北斗星君) to conduct their Annual Inspection for the Year.
Upon completion of this Annual Inspection, Individual’s Conduct will be recorded and the Records will be used to Grade the Blessing for the Individual for the Year of Bing Sen Monkey Year (為丙申猴年察巡天下以定福禍).
This Year, the Inspection falls on 28th Day of Lunar 12 Month (臘月廿八日), which is 06 Feb, a Saturday.
For more detailed info on how to prepare for this Day, please refer to the following;
In Taoist Culture, 1 Day before the Lunar New Year’s Eve, is considered as the Inspection Day of Lord Nan Bei Dou (南北斗星君).
On this Day, Taoists will visit Temples or Set-up Altar at Home to usher in Lord Nan Bei Dou in-order to request for the Necessary Blessing for the Lunar New Year.
So what is the Main Purpose of this Inspection?
On the 25th Day of Lunar 12 Month, Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang (玉皇大天尊) had made his Inspection on the Mortal World to check on the on-going activities that Mortals are involved in and during this Inspection, Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang will definitely be there to check on the Good & Evil Doings of Mortals. And so, after this Inspection, Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang will need a Follow-up Inspection by the Associated Officers to do the Recording and so, before a New Lunar Year arrives, Lord Nan Bei Dou will be appointed to do the Inspection in-order for them to do the necessary Recording on the Credits, Merits, Sins & Debts of Mortals and from there, the equality-blessing will be bestowed upon the Mortal accordingly.
After the necessary Recordings are being made and being reported to Heavenly Supreme Emperor Yu Huang, on the 15th Day of Lunar 1 Month (農曆正月十五日), Heavenly Lord of Heavenly Realm aka Tian Guan Da Di (天官大帝) will be there to perform the Inspection and Distributing of Fortune & Prosperity to the Mortals (賜福人間) who have gained the necessary Blessing according to their Accumulated Credits & Merits.
Before that, On the Eve of Lunar New Year (大年除夕), Fu Lu Shou (福祿壽) – the Three Prosperity Stars will be there to distribute the necessary Blessing to the Mortals for the Lunar New Year. Due to this piece of Info is not being widely share among the Taoists & Chinese, a lot of People tend to mistaken that on the Eve of Lunar New Year is a Day to usher in the Deity of Wealth (財神), which is Wrong and this is just a Commercial Trick that Modern People had planned.
So what to do on this Day?
For Lord Nan Bei Dou’s Inspection Day, usually some simple Honouring being done will do.
Main Purpose of this Honouring is to Sincerely & Faithfully making Self-reflection & Reprimanding of One’s Wrong Doing for the past 1 Year and hoping by doing so, Lord Nan Bei Dou will be there to provide the necessary Guidance for Oneself and Oneself will be able to be Blessed by the Heaven for the next 12 Months.
Besides that, this is also to remind Oneself that from this Day onwards, Oneself shall be more Kind, Compassionate and Caring towards the others and also, Oneself must be responsible in ALL Physical & Verbal actions that Oneself has made.
So what to Prepare for the Honouring?
For the Offerings, Oneself can prepare the following:
1 – 3 cups of Chinese Tea or Water (三杯清茶/水)
2 – 5 Longevity Buns (五個壽桃包)
3 – 1 packet of Longevity Noodles (一份長壽面)
4 – 1 Huat Kueh (一個發糕)
5 – 1 Nian Gao (一個年糕)
6 – 1 set of Red Candles (一對紅燭)
7 – 3 Long Incenses (三支長壽香)
Once all the Offerings are Ready, just proceed to any nearby Temples to do the Honouring.
