Empress Mother Earth Manifestation Anniversary (地母元君華誕)


18 Day of Lunar 10 Month (
農曆十月十八日), is a day that considered as the Birthday of Di Mu Yuan Jun aka Empress Mother Earth or in short, Mother Earth (為地母元君華誕-地母又稱大地之母﹐守護一切農耕稻收等).

 

Till today, there is still a number of Taoists or even other Religions followers pay respect (honour) to Di Mu Yuan Jun as a form of expressing our gratitude to her for protecting our Planet Earth from any external energies invading (驅逐外來不正之氣所侵犯), blessing the natural soil in this Planet Earth from being seriously infected by diseases (庇佑萬里黃土之氣不受染), etc.

 

Even though there still a number of followers for Di Mu Yuan Jun, but due to the Modernization events going on and a revolution in cultures, traditional Rituals/Ceremonies, that are dedicated to Di Mu Yuan Jun, had change a lot.

 

In order Di Mu Yuan Jun to continue giving the necessary blessing to this Planet Earth, we must return our gratitude to Di Mu Yuan Jun by staying closely connected with her by reciting her Scriptures (地母聖經) or Bao Gao (Praise Mantra 地母寶誥).

 

For those who are interested in reciting the Bao Gao, here it is:

  1. 地母有什麽關係跟女媧元君嗎?

  2. 后人常把地姆與女媧混為一談﹐但其實﹐她兩屬不同神祗。

    如若要已地姆化生年數來看﹐地姆應比女媧還要“老”上萬歲。

    那為何后人會將她兩混合﹖原因有幾個:

    1 - 女媧為萬人之母﹐地姆被稱之萬靈之母。人屬靈之一﹐因此后人誤會女媧乃是地姆之化身

    2 - 早期女媧神像﹐手中握著一八卦鏡﹐而後來﹐彫刻師在彫刻地姆神像時﹐也將一八卦鏡彫於地姆手中(八卦代表天地萬物)﹐因此又將后人個迷惑了。

  3. 九天玄女﹐屬先天神女﹐原身為王母身邊一青鳥。而後修真得道﹐而拜與王母坐下。

    因的王母真傳﹐後世封九天玄女為道法仙真。

  5. 為什麼女媧 地母 和九天玄女 她們手中握著一八卦鏡﹐

  6. 哈哈。九天並非女媧之化身。如果真的是其中一人之化身。那麼應該是 - 女媧是九天之化身 - 因九天早在女媧下凡之時就以存在。

    女媧手中之八卦: 代表天地中之變化。

    地姆手中之八卦: 代表萬物中之生機。

    而老實講﹐九天手中並無八卦。如若有﹐則代表三界中之道法。
