In the following is a Video presented by the Taoist Group from Mt Long Hu aka Long Hu Shan (龍虎山) of China, the Holy Premises of Heavenly Master Zhang Dao Ling (嗣漢天師府).

In this Video, you will be able to see the Leading Priest using the Taoist Official Command Block to do the summoning and cleansing, besides that, he also performed the Stepping of Dipper Steps in front of the Altar.

In Taoist Rituals/Ceremonies, the stepping of the Dipper Steps is very important, it represents, the Priest using the Spiritual Power to ascend into the Heavenly Realm to make reports, etc.

Usually this set of Procedure will be seen during the initial part of a Taoist Ritual/Ceremony or when, a Priest is doing the sending of Spiritual Petition for the Deities.

Dear All,

The following are pictures taken on the 18th Day of Lunar 1 Month, during a Taoist Ritual conducted at a Sintua in Singapore (apologise for the not-so-good-quality pictures taken).

Due to permission & privacy issue, in here, I will not disclosed the name of the Sintua.

This is a very special Taoist Ritual conducted on that day. After so many years of learning this set of Taoist Ritual Skill from my Late-Master, I had yet to do performed the full set of this Ritual myself before, cos my Late-Master did advised that, this Ritual can only performed for an Upright or Non-commercial Temple/Sintua/Taoist, etc, while he decided to impart me with the Skill. And so, I followed his advises.

During the Ritual, at the initial part, Reporting to San Qing (三清道祖) & Jade Emperor of Heaven (玉皇大天尊) was being made and a Spiritual Petition was being sent after ushering in the Reporting Officer (送表官).

And then, the Invitation of different Deities were being made: (see pic01 & pic02)





After ushering in the Deities, normal chanting was carried out and then at about Noon timing, the Special Blessing Ritual for the Sintua was being conducted.

This is a Ritual that seldom Priests will performed or Learnt, cos, after performing this Ritual, the Energies that being emitted out/lost from/by the Conducting-Priest can be extremely high.

In pic03, before the Ritual can be conducted, the Cleansing of Surrounding and the associated items must be enhanced, and so, by standing in front of Wang Ling Guan (王靈官), I called upon the Blessing & Enhancing Energy from him, in-order to allow the Cleansing to be done:



After enhancing the Water, the Cleansing & Enhancing of the items were being done:


After the Blessing Ritual starts (which is the Peak of the Day), most of the Devotees were seems to enter a joyous mood. Everyone was seems to have got the happiness being blessed on them. Whatever questions being asked, the devotees were able to reply with an extremely happy mood.

Soon, the whole Ritual came to an end.

During the Sending Off of Deities, everyone was seems to be anxious and happy.

After the Paper-offerings being lighted with Fire, all the devotees were so enthusiastic to walk around the Fire and of cos, at the last moment, everyone shouted HUAT (發).

With the sound HUAT, the Ritual marked an End.

Till today, this is the most Special & Delightful Ritual that I had conducted.

Thanks to the Committee, Students of Long Shan Men, without them, this Ritual wont be conducted so successfully.
