Introduction on Taoist Spiritual Mantra on Ceasing Rain - Qi Qing Shen Zhou (祈晴神咒)

In here, is one the few Taoist Spiritual Mantras that being used to request for the ceasing of Rain Pour or Storm.

In the Ancient Era, when an area is being disturbed by long period of Rain Pour or Strong Storm (which disturbed the on-going agricultures, farm works, etc), the people will gathered together to engage several Taoist Priests or Taoist Masters to perform the Ritual of requesting the Heaven for ceasing the Rain Pour.

Usually the Taoist Priests or Masters will recite a few Scriptures & Mantras and the following Mantra is one of them.

In the Mantra, you are able to see that, by reciting this Mantra, it is calling upon the Lord Sun or the Lord of Fire to be present and then, kindly invite the Lord of Water and Raining Deities to return back to their respective position. By whose Order? By the requested permission from San Qing and or Heavenly Realm (can be Yu Huang Da Tian Zun).

Nowadays, due to the decline in the promoting of Taoist Culture and also the facts that Sciencetists proven, alot of such Rituals/Ceremonies are not being seen or frequently-conducted and so, seldom people will have chance to come across such Mantras or the Scriuptures that dedicated to the Deities that involved in such events/actions, its really a pity (but, without conducting such Rtiuals/Ceremonies, in some way, is consider Good, cos, No-long period of Raining Season affecting the Life of Chinese).
