《道教三官文化。上元敬供百家米。齊納百家福。2024》





 

《道教三官文化。上元敬供百家米。齊納百家福。2024

 

【上元】籌集「百家之米」﹐歷史已淵源留長。(【中元】籌集「百家鹽」﹐【下元】籌集「百家布」)

 

於早期﹐籌集「百家米」原定在「大年初一日」﹐旨在【開正】之日﹐行善助貧﹐後在【漢朝】年間﹐【張祖天師】創教鼓勵繳米之後﹐後者定【上元日】為籌集「百家米」以祈福後分發與眾人。

 

目前﹐於【新春】及【上元】還保留著籌集「百家之米」的﹐就僅剩「閩東籍」的【同道好友】了。

 

希望大家能多多發揚此文化﹐祈願「天官覃恩」﹐「天師護佑」。

 

This Collecting of Prosperity Rice was actual a Practise that being evolved from the Collecting of Five-bushes Rice (五斗米) by Heavenly Master Zhang Dao Ling (張祖天師) in the Han Dynasty (漢朝年間).

 

During the Han Dynasty, while the Taoists engaged Heavenly Master for Blessing on the San Yuan Festivals (三元日) or Curing of Illnesses, the Taoists would need to contribute a total of Five Bushes of Rice to Heavenly Master Zhang which later, the Rice will be distributed to the Poor or Needys.

 

Besides that, there were also sayings that, for those who consumed the Prosperity Rice collected on the San Yuan Festivals, Oneselfs Sins & Debts will be Eliminated (赦罪解厄) and Prosperity will be Bestowed upon the Person (並賜福).

 

With strong belief in Promoting Heavenly Master’s Teaching and Continuing of Taoist Culture, we have decided to follow the Teaching of Heavenly Master – by collecting the Prosperity Rice and then Blessed it and distribute it out to the Public, hoping that Everyone staying in our Areas will be Blessed.

 

百家米之用處 Usage of Bai Jia Mi aka The Prosperity Rice

 

Upon receiving the Rice, a number of Friends and Taoists had been asking Jave how to use the Prosperity Rice. With patience, Jave explained to them with the following few Ways/Methods:

 

Prosperity Rice can be used in a lot of Ways/Methods and it does assist a lot of People in different Ways, such as

 

1 – Little Kids (below the age of Lunar 3 years old), who tend to Cry, cant get to Sleep or having Nightmare – used the Rice to Cook Porridge, upon cooked, add in Pearl Powder for them to eat or Sew a few Grains of Rice into the Pillow and allowed the Kids to Sleep on it, it will assist the Kids to Calm & Tame down.

 

襁褓中的嬰孩﹐虛歲三歲以下的小孩﹐時常在半夜無故啼哭﹐看醫後又無法診斷病因﹐可用百家米煮成糜﹐取糜漿()加入少量珍珠粉﹐之後讓其小孩食用﹐效果不凡。

 

或者可將少數量的百家米放入小孩枕頭內﹐之後縫上﹐讓小孩就寢﹐即可卻穢。

 

2 – Grown-up Children (below the age of Lunar 12 years old), who tend to become Stubborn, like to Talk-back and starts to Behave strangely - used the Rice, mixed it with the Regular Rice and Cooked it. Keep the Water that used to Wash the Rice. Allowed the Children to eat continuously for 3 Days and after then, asked the Children to use the accumulated 3 Days Rice Water to Bathe. It will assist in Tuning the Mind of the Children to a more “Positive Frequency” in the near Future.

 

虛歲十二歲以下小孩﹐時常無故亂說話﹐夜有夢魘﹐可將百家米加入家中白米﹐連續三天煮飯後讓其小孩食用。將三天洗米水留下﹐在第三天夜晚﹐用三天洗米水幫小孩沖洗﹐此方便可去惡。

 

3 – Young Adults (from the age of Lunar 13 - 24 years old), who are still Studying and Not able to Concentrate, despite trying a lot of Ways/Methods to stay awake. Try using a Tea-spoon of the Rice, Fried in a pan without using any Oil or Bake in an Oven, till the Rice become Brown. Crash it into Powder-form and mix it with Hot-water to make into Rice-tea, it does help to Generate Energy to “awake” the Mind.

 

虛歲十三至廿四歲求學者﹐時常無法提起精神﹐夢中常顯壓力﹐可取百家米一茶匙﹐將其烘乾﹐後搗碎沖水當米茶食用﹐此方可解結。

 

4 – Adult (from the age of Lunar 25 - 60 years old), for those who keep finding themselves Low-in-luck or unable to have a Stable Life - used the Rice, Cooked it with Green Beans to become Green Bean Porridge. Do it on Every 3rd Day of the Lunar Month. It will assist in getting Oneself Physical Soul to be Cleanse and Allowing the Gui Ren (貴人神) aka Prosperity Deities to bestow the Blessing onto Oneself.

 

虛歲廿五至六十歲上班族﹐如遇時運停滯﹐工作受阻﹐可在每個農曆初三日﹐用百家米加入綠豆﹐煮成綠豆糜﹐長期食用﹐可助一切順心。

 

5 – Elderly (from the age of Lunar 61 - 99 years old), for Elderly who wished to have a Good Health, Please do Consume the Rice regularly. If possible, every time before consuming the Rice, Recite the following Phrase:

 

虛歲六十一至九十九歲樂齡者﹐可日常食用百家米﹐在食用前﹐恭念以下三官聖號﹐可保遐齡﹐家宅平安。

滿五初十,

福德賜財天下喜,

多多益善。

 

每月吉日,

土地茂盛黃金生,

源源不絕。

 

「滿五初十日」(即首五個月之初十日),係為【福德正神開財庫日】,一般又稱為【五方土地神祗】之【五方土地神誕】。

 

於此,分享其【開庫借貸寶庫】之【數量】(民間相傳著三組,於此分享一組較為簡單之)與「各別」【紙料】之「分享」。

《道教新春文化。大年十五。上元敬門神。出入平安。2024》





 

《道教新春文化。大年十五。上元敬門神。出入平安。2024

 

【道教門神文化】,最早可「追溯」至【商朝】,之後【漢朝】「盛起」,而到了【唐朝】,則是「顛峰期」,因此,於【道教門神文化】中,出現的【門神】有好多。

 

「古時」或者「最早」的【門神】,被敬稱為【門丞戶尉】,其「地位」之高。

 

後慢慢的被改稱為【左門神。右門將】,而如今,只稱【門神】了。

 

但於【道教科儀文化】中,還是保留了【門丞戶尉】的稱法,畢竟這是【漢朝文化】,一定得保留。

每年到了「臘月廿三」、「臘月廿七」或者「臘月廿八」,就得「答謝」【門丞戶尉】,之後「換」【桃符】。

 

有者會在「大年除夕」才請【門丞戶尉】。

 

而到了「大年十五」【上元聖節】(民間也有做「正月十六日」,一般稱為【門神生日】),則會在「下午申時」至「酉時」,準備好的【供品】來「上敬」 【門丞戶尉】,以慰勞【祂們】接下來「一年」的「辛苦」,【民間】則會把這天當成【門丞戶尉】的「生日」。

 

於此【佳節】,上貼分享【門丞戶尉】暨 【左門神。右門將】之【諱字】。

 

此「二組」【諱字】,多用於為【門丞戶尉】暨 【左門神。右門將】「開光啟霛」或者「換」【桃符】。

《道教新春文化。大年十三。灶燈祈福。2024》





 

《道教新春文化。大年十三。灶燈祈福。2024

 

十三點灶燈,

祈求丁口平安。

 

十四觀灶燈,

希望花開添喜。

 

於【道教新春文化】暨【道教灶神文化】中,以【司命灶君】「之名」來「行科」並「祈福」之事宜,可「追溯」自【三國時期】,再來便是【東西漢二朝】,三來便是「盛行」於【明朝年間】。

 

於【明代司命燈儀】之中有提到,「每月逢四日」之【司命灶君】「衙期」或者「巡灶日」,則須「點陽明油燈」暨「供一碗棗飯」,以祈求「闔家平安」、「好事早成」。

 

而到了「大年十三夜」,則得「點明燈三朝」,以祈求「新年內」,「萬事富貴」、「灶君賜福」。

 

因此,每年到了【臘月】的最後「三個逢四日」及「大年初四接灶返宅」的【陽明燈】,是非常重要的。

 

今日於此簡單分享,期望大家能「多多行此功德」。

 

For Taoists, they will light an Oil Lamp (油燈) and then placed it on the Kitchen Stove (廚房灶頭), this is a form of paying respect to the Kitchen Deity aka Zao Jun (灶君). In Chinese, this is known as Dian Zao Deng (點灶燈) or Dian Zao Tou Guang Ming Deng (點灶頭光明燈).

 

This is to request for Blessing from Kitchen Deity and also other Family Deities (祈願一家大小能在新的一年裡事事順心﹐闔家光明).

This Lamp will last for 3 5 Days until the 15th Days Celebration is over (灶燈須點至大年十五晚).

 

Some Folks will also prepare some simple offerings such as Oranges, Nian Gao, Traditional Cookies and Paper-offerings to pay respect (可備桔子﹐年糕及年節糕餅供奉灶神).

《道教諱字文化。一諱降聖。三官四元。2024》





 

《道教諱字文化。一諱降聖。三官四元。2024

 

【道教諱字】,於其他【教派】又稱【花字】,而於【大梵釋教】則稱【種子字】,雖然「各別」【形態】「有差」,但是「意義」多數相同。

 

【道教諱字】,代表著【聖真】「本身」,也屬【聖真】之【精炁神】或者【威力】,因此在【請聖證盟】、【開光啓霛】,【發符書籙】,等等,絕對不可少。

 

除此之外,【道教諱字】也是一種「靈界通訊工具」,以便讓「世間有道之士」,能用其【道教諱字】來與神明「進行溝通」。

 

至今,有被「記錄」或「記載」的【道教諱字】,不少於「5000組」,但「通用」的,則少於「300組」,實為可惜。

 

而【花字】,則代表著「行動」或「催促」,與「急急如律令」相同的「作用」,并非代表神明,所以有些【諱字】則不可用如【花字】。

 

今日,於此分享【三官四元四品大帝】之【諱字】。

 

【三官四元四品大帝】,又稱【四官四品大帝】或者【四元尊帝】與【乾元帝】。

 

而於【民間】則被稱呼為【三界公】或【三官爺】,等等。

 

於【道教諱字文化】中,【三官四元四品大帝】的【諱字】,「各別」都有「十九道」之多(目前所收錄為四十八道),而「每組」【諱字】則有著「不同」的「意思」或者「意義」。

 

於此分享,共大家明瞭。
