《癸卯兔年。大地復甦。驚螫日。2023》
春雷響，
大地復甦萬物生，
是爲驚蟄。
春分待，
三界迎喜初苗長，
期待豐收。
【雷】，不到【驚蟄】不稱【春雷】。
【雨水】期間，雨量增加，但不打【雷】，如果在【雨水】期間打雷，則萬物不尊循環，國家必有大難。
一到【驚蟄】，三天之内，【春雷】大作，天下萬物才算初醒，耕作才能豐收。
【南方道教文化】，【驚蟄】又稱【虎神開口】，即是【迎貴人。趕小人】之日，一般由【驚蟄】時辰開始至三天内，都可【迎貴人。趕小人】。
而在【正一雷法】中，一年五次的【迎雷】，【驚蟄】期間就屬第二，因而在【驚蟄】期間，須將【法器】請出祭奉。
今年「癸卯兔年」，【驚蟄】一切「祭祀」，可從「農曆二月十五日卯時」開始至「農曆二月十七日申時」結束。
想被吃掉的
就不要穿衣服或者穿紅
如果要求貴人的
只能穿藍，青及白
但是
如果覺得自己很冤的話
就得穿黑或灰
所以大家要注意哦
驚蟄無雷春不來。
雨水多寡定豐收。
風起雲湧太平相。
昏天暗地反吉祥。
你們那的「天氣」可有依據以上「古詩」的情況發生，如有，那就一切「吉祥」了。
Awakening of the Mortal Realm - Jing
Zhe Day 2023
Jing Zhe
Day or Jing Zhi Day (驚螫日), is a Day in the Lunar
Calendar to mark the Awakening of the Planet Earth or Mortal Realm after the
long & cold Winter (for the past 1 Season).
Usually
on this Day, Raining (drizzling) or Slight Storm will occurred and a Thunder
Roar will be heard (but due to the Weather change in this Modern Era and with
the effects on Global Warming, such Natural Scenes might not be able to be seen
annually).
For Year
2023, Jing Zhe Ri falls on 15th Day of Lunar 2 Month, which is 06 Mar, timing starts at 04:36 hours (Lunar
Hour – Tiger 寅時末).
Why is
there a Loud Thunder Roar and why is it so Special?
In the
Ancient Era, Taoists & Chinese believed that this was the Thunder Roar that
sound to wake-up all Beings that were sleeping or resting during the Winter
Period. Once this Thunder Roar was being released, then all Beings were have to
wake-up and continue to perform their regular tasks for the New Year (平地一聲雷,大地復甦醒).
Besides
that, what the Taoists & Chinese will do on this Day?
Due to
this is the Day of All Beings being waken up by the Thunder Roar, All Animals
(including the Spirits & Energies) will also be waken up, this includes
that Tiger Deity that the Chinese & Taoists or Folks pay respect to.
On this
Day, the people will prepare the following offerings to pay respect to Tiger Deity
for the blessing of getting rid of Back-stabbers aka Xiao Ren (小人) - (A lot of Folks tend to mistaken this Day as rhe
Birthday of Tiger Deity)
1 - Raw
eggs (生雞蛋)
2 - A
piece of Raw Pork meat with fats (豬肉與豬油)
3 - A
handful of Uncooked Yellow Noodles (生面)
4 - A
piece of Tau Kua aka Beancurd (豆干)
5 - 2 or
5 Oranges (桔子)
6 - Jian
Hup & Tea Leaves (餞盒與茶葉)
7 -
Paper Offerings for Tiger Deity (usually can get in the Temple 虎神紙料)
8 -
Sesame & Green Bean (芝麻綠荳)
9 – Pineapple (黃梨)
Once all
these items are being prepare, then the paying respect can take place.
So what
is the best timing to pay respect?
The
later the better.
For
example: If Jing Zhe Ri starts at 13:10pm, oneself or the Family shall try to
visit any Temples to pay respect to Tiger Deity after 4-5 Hours later (which
says 17:10pm or 18:10pm).
This is
to allow the Tiger Deity to have his full meal before the requesting of
Blessing take place. Due to the Wakening of the Tiger Deity, the initial
Energies that being released by the Tiger Deity is considered Strong &
Fierce, and so, we will advise people to go later in-order for those with weak
body to get lesser un-necessary interruption in their Physical & Spiritual
Mind, Soul & Body.
So how
to go about with the paying respect?
Once in
the Temple, lay out the offerings, if the Temple allowed, place the Meat in the
mouth of the Statue of the Tiger Deity.
After
the laying out of the offerings, pay respect to Heaven and the Main Deities in
the Temple and then, last, pay respect to the Tiger Deity.
During
the paying respect, report Ownself’s name, the Date, the reason of this paying
respect, etc.
After
that, take out the Paper Offerings, get the Red Paper Doll & Green Horse,
paste them together on the Pink Paper, after that, Paste them on the Wall
provided and then burn off the remaining Paper Offerings.
In here,
Jave wont encourage people of beating the Xiao Ren (小人),
cos, here you beat them, at the other sides, people are beating you too and so,
once this continue, the Cycle wont stop (冤冤相報何時了).
If one
self is that Generous and Kind to accept the others, one day, the others will
be there to accept you and so, let the hatred gone with the Fire and Retrieve
the Goodness back for All and Oneself (欣喜接納福氣至).
Once the
burning is done, do not need to retrieve back the offerings, just leave the
Temple and then forget about the whole situation.
