《道教保身文化。七元護命。元辰不損。2022

 

七元護命,

光亮元辰而不損,

身神有助。

 

九宸罩身,

金光覆護而有盈,

精炁常盛。

 

於【道教文化】之中,尤其【正一道宗】之內,【北斗七元】與【人】之【身】、【神】暨【命】,皆「離不開關係」。

 

時運之低,可亮【七元】而得順(三衰六旺)

身心之恙,可光【九宸】而痊愈(七情六慾)

命謝之後,可點【斗光】而引途(三魂七魄)

 

從【上古】、至【商周】、再【秦漢】、後【唐宋】,【北斗文化】「無不盛行」,到如今,【北斗信仰】還是「屹立不動」,可謂之重要也!

《壬寅虎年。十月初一送寒衣。2022》

 






《壬寅虎年。十月初一送寒衣。2022

 

「農曆十月初一日」,【道教文化】及【民間習俗】稱之為「寒衣節」或「送寒衣」。

 

「古時」的這一天,【道眾】會為自己【堂上歷代祖先】,化上「紙衣」,以便讓【祖先】們「過冬」。

 

除此之外,也會為「無主孤魂」化衣及紙錢,希望出點薄力,不要「孤魂眾」在【冬天】「受寒」。

 

因此,【寒衣節】也就被納入「中華三懷思節」之一,與【清明節】及【中元節】同等。

 

相傳,【寒衣節】始源於「孟姜女千里尋夫」,因而也代表了淒美的真愛與貞潔。

 

在此簡單分享,供大家明瞭。

 

Offering of Winter Clothing to the Wanderings 2022

 

In Taoist Culture, there are 3 Major Days for the Taoists to show their Filial Piety, Gratitude and Thanksgiving to the Ancestors/Pass-on Members and also, to perform a Minor Concern to the Wanderings or Un-attended Souls.

 

These 3 Major Days in Taoist Culture is known as The Three Gratitude Days for the Souls or San Da Ming Jie in Chinese (三大冥節).

 

So which are the 3 Days?

 

Here it goes;

 

1 – Qing Ming Period aka The Tomb-sweeping Festival (清明節)

 

2 – The Seventh Month Celebration aka Zhong Yuan Festival (中元節)

 

3 – The Offering of Winter-clothing Day aka Han Yi Day (寒衣節)

 

For Qing Ming Period, usually it will falls in the Lunar 2 Month till Lunar 3 Month, whereas the Seventh Month Celebration will starts on the 1st Day till the Last Day of Lunar 7 Month.

 

And so, when is the Date for Winter-clothing Offering?

 

It actually falls on the 1st Day of Lunar 10 Month and this is why, in the Ancient Chinese Records, it is also known as Shi Yue Shuo Jie (十月朔節), meaning the Starting of the Lunar 10 Month or the starting of the Winter Season.

 

To know more on the Origin of the Offering of Winter Clothing Day, you all may wish to proceed to this Link (寒衣節的由來):

 

http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2009/11/offering-of-winter-clothing-for-pass-on.html

 

For Year 2022, it falls on 25 Oct.

 

So how was this Offering of Winter Clothing being carried-out in the Ancient China?

 

According to the Ancient Records, the Offering of Winter Clothing are being categorised into 2 types,

 

1 – Home-based Offering (家中祭奠)

2 – Official/Governmental Offering (公眾祭奠)

 

For Home-based Offering, Descendants/Family Members must prepared the necessary Offerings (as below) for the Honouring of the Pass-on Members at Home or at the Graves,

 

1 – Incenses & Candles (香燭)

2 – Paper Offerings (including the Paper-bag of Winter-clothing 紙料/寒衣包袱)

3 – Scriptures (or engaged Taoist Masters for the Chanting 經懺)

4 – Seven Cooked Dishes (七道熟食)

5 – One bowl of Soup (湯料一碗)

6 – The Three Sacrificed Meat Offerings (Pig, Fish, Chicken/Duck 三牲)

7 – Cooked Rice (米飯)

8 – Wine/Chinese Tea (茶酒)

9 – Four sets of Bowls/Spoons/Chop-sticks (四副碗筷)

 

Once after All the Offerings are being prepared and placed in order on the Altar, the whole Family has to make 3 Kowtows to the Ancestors and after 3 rounds of Offering of Wine & Tea, the Burning-off of the Paper-offerings and Winter-clothing will be done.

 

On the Paper-bag of Winter-clothing, the Names of Three Generations Ancestors will be indicated – meaning, Father, Grandfather & Great-grandfather (寒衣包袱之上書有祖上三代名諱).

 

After the Honouring of Ancestors, the Family Members will then gathered a bowl of Rice and some dishes from the Ancestor Honouring and then throw the bowl of Rice and the dishes onto the Main Road or at some Grass-areas nearby the House, this is to Offer the Food to the nearby Wanderings.

 

For some Families, they will also burn some Paper-offerings at the Road-side, hoping that, after the Wanderings got the Offerings, they will “Blessed” on the People staying in the area.

 

In Taoism, this is known as Ji Gu (濟孤).

 

For Official/Governmental Offering, this is usually being carried-out by the Area Officers or Magistrate Office (地方官/知縣/) – The Offering reaches Peak in Ming Dynasty. In the Morning of the 1st Day of Lunar 10 Month (農曆十月初一日早晨), the Officer will arrived at the Temple dedicated to Lord Cheng Huang aka City Deity (城隍尊神) and made a report on the Objective of the Day’s Event and then, the Constables (衙差) will shift the statue of Lord Cheng Huang onto a prepared Sedan-chair and on the Sedan Chair (大紅轎), there are 1 or 2 plaque(s) with the words written on it – Feng Zhi Si Gu (匾書有 - 奉旨祀孤), meaning this Offerings to the Wanderings is being Authorised and Granted by the Emperor.

 

In Ming Dynasty (明朝), The Lunar 10 Month Procession of Lord Cheng Huang is also known as Fang Gui Shou Ji Ri (放鬼受濟日), meaning Releasing of Souls for Salvation.

 

Once the statue of Lord Cheng Huang is being invited on the Sedan-chair and secured firmly, the Officer will lead the way and starts the Procession of going round the whole Village/Town/City (遊境濟孤).

 

During the Procession, the Officer will stop at certain areas/corners and ordered the Constables to burn some Paper-offerings, this is to show the “Concern” for those un-attended Souls or Suffering Wanderings in the Area.

 

By doing so, the Officer hopes that the Wanderings will not disturb the Mortals living in the Area.

 

After the whole Procession was done, the Officer will lead the Sedan-chair back to the Temple and ushered Lord Cheng Huang back onto the Altar and on the very night, simple Dinner will be held at the Area/Village/City for the People staying around, this is to celebrate that Harvesting had completed and a Year is about to end.

 

In Summary

 

Due to lost of Interest in Chinese Culture, lost of Recognition in Root-Culture and the Down-fall of Taoist Culture, many such Traditional Practices are gone or being forgotten by a lot of the Taoists/Chinese.

 

Shall Oneself still continue such a Culture? Is Oneself doing it for Fun?

Is this Culture important to Oneself/Us?

 

I think this is something that worth many of us to sit down and ponder over it. Last of All, hope to see more Taoists/Chinese get involved in this Culture before it is gone.

《道教正一文化。訣紋喚帥。石帥施雷。2022》





《道教正一文化。訣紋喚帥。石帥施雷。2022

 

應【老籙生新道子】之詢問,於此分享。

 

「授籙奏職」後,使用【符籙】、【牒文】、【訣紋】,等等,來「調遣」【將帥】,都是「必然的」,更重要的,便是一一都得會。

 

這些「法門」,於「授籙奏職」後,【三師】及【安籙師】,便會一一「傳授」,其中有包含「秘法」、「心印」、「帥法」,等等。

 

而於「授籙奏職撥將」,不論「何地」,【神霄石元帥】可算是主要的【心將恩帥】了。

 

【神霄石元帥】之「訣紋」,由《祕籙冊》中記載,總共有「二組」,而於此分享的,便是其中「一組」。

 

【道子】們在「遣使」【籙牒】中的【將帥】,便得配合【心印】,「聖諱」及「通關秘語」來「啓動」其「威神力」。

 

【新籙生】於「奏職授籙」後,回到「自個兒」的【壇中】,「第一時間」便是先將【本命元帥】「安奉」並將其【籙中秘諱】暨【符諱】「化燎」,之後「誦誥恭迎入壇」。

 

而當中,於書寫其【秘諱】暨【符諱】時,便是得【左手】掐其【法訣】,之後將其【真炁】「彈入」其【符】內即可。

《道宗鸞門文化。扶鸞輔正。指點迷津。2022》

 




《道宗鸞門文化。扶鸞輔正。指點迷津。2022

 

一案金細五行砂,

構成天地圖,

釋出乾坤炁,

半點不漏。

 

一筆聖栽五教意,

勸勉凡間人,

拔度苦海眾,

半個皆救。

 

「傳統」的【扶鸞文化】,早在【周秦時代】就可「查尋」(原為【青鸞使者】「下凡傳示」【懿旨】),後於【兩漢】興起,【魏晉】達到了「巔峰」,【唐宋二朝】便是以【扶鸞之法】,來「恭請」【廁神紫姑】「示下迷津」,之後也就「慢慢的沒落」了。

 

雖說「沒落」,但於【道宗鸞門文化】,時常還能看到其【記載】或者【文獻】,尤其到了【明末清初】,甚至是【民初】,皆有【扶鸞道文】或者【降世奇文】的出現。

 

「反觀」【乩童文化】,就遠遠揧後於【扶鸞文化】,而最早可提起的【記載】,則是於【明末清初】,【民間】「借由」【乩生】之口訴,來「提倡」了一些「當時駭世的舉動」。

 

也就如此,不論在那個朝代、國家或者區域,【扶鸞文化】或者【乩生文化】,常被【官家官方】所注意,以免掀起不必要的「動蕩」或者「傷亡」。

 

「最接近」我們的「以神之名來拯救世間事件」,便是【清代】之【白蓮聖教】,當時為了將【清朝皇庭】「打敗」,「不希代價」的向【朝廷】或者【官員】,甚至【外來國團】,舉行「侵略」或者「追殺事件」,導致了當時【清末年間】,整個【中國】更是「水深火熱」、「民不聊生」。

 

如今,已無所謂的【反清復明】了,但是【扶鸞文化】暨【乩生文化】卻保留了下來,尤其是【扶鸞文化】,更是達到了「教化人心」、「勸世為善」的【功德】。

 

於【中國潮州】的【德教文化】、【善堂文化】、【閩南】的【鸞堂文化】、【斗堂文化】或者【先天派系】,皆是「傳承」了【道宗鸞門文化】的「精髓」,這點「其功自然不可沒」。

 

下回,如果你有機會接觸到了【扶鸞文化】,請務必向著其【金細五行砂盤】暨【聖筆】,「行個禮」、「做個揖」,因為這些都是我們【老祖宗】「傳承下來」的【智慧】與【結晶】!
