In Taoism, we have quite a number of methods to create the Cleansing Water for certain usage. Today, I will like to introduce one of such methods to you all, for those who need it or interested in trying, one self just needed to follow the procedure that being written here, most probably one self will succeed in the creation.
Here it goes:
Prepare a Glass or Cup of Yin Yang Water 陰陽水 (mixture of Cold & Hot Water or Water collected at Mid-night and Early Morning after Sunrise), hold the Glass or Cup with your left hand, using the Dao-finger Formation 道指/法指 – the Formation that you can see on Zhang Gong Sheng Jun's statue (張公聖君), place your hand in front of the Heart.
Then, Light 3 Stick of Incenses, hold the Incenses with Right-hand and the burning tip Pointing Up and turn the whole body to face North.
After turning to the Direction, make a Bow and then recite the Offering Incense Mantra aka Zhu Xiang Shen Zhou (祝香神咒) and then, call-upon Xuan Tian Shang Di (玄天上帝) to provide the blessing on the Creation of the Cleansing Water.
After making the request, recite The Taoist Golden Brightness Mantra aka Jin Guang Shen Zhou (金光神咒) to gather the Positive Energies from the Three Realms to gather at the Spot.
Upon finish reciting Jin Guang Shen Zhou, point the Tip of the Incenses to the Cup or Water-surface, do not allow the burning tip to touch the edge of the Cup or the surface of the Water.
Once ready, recite The Cleansing of Surrounding Mantra aka Jing Tian Di Shen Zhou (淨天地神咒) to allow the Energies to being enhanced into the Yin Yang Water.
After the Mantra is being recited, point the Incenses Up again, make a Bow to the North and then, place them into any Urn.
Place the Cup of Water at the Altar.
And the Water is ready to be used on any issues or events.
So when to use the Water?
1 Before moving into a new House.
2 Before removing of any Spiritual Objects, such as Statues, etc.
3 Cleansing of an Area before Joss-papers are being burnt for Deities.
4 Cleaning of the Deities Altar.
5 Washing of the physical Body of someone who got possessed by Negative Entities
Things to Take Note:
Never drink such Cleansing Water, cos it will cause one self to force-out All Negative Forces and Energies, which can cause Extreme discomfort and seriously ill.
Shi Fu....when you say "call-upon Xuan Tian Shang Di (玄天上帝) to provide the blessing on the Creation of the Cleansing Water."....do we need to recite any standard phase???? or what is the correct phase to use??...pls advise.
ReplyDeleteNo need, just normal making of request or informing him that one self is doing the creation of the water.
ReplyDeleteWhat if the "ashes" drops into the water?
ReplyDeleteIf we didn't manage to memorize "Jin Guang Shen Zhou" and "Jing Tian Di Shen Zhou".. What can we do?
ReplyDelete"Dao Zhi", is it the one that resembles the tripod?
Then its ok, usually it wont, cos the reciting wont take that long.
ReplyDeleteIf one self cant memorise, can always look at the paper while reciting.
ReplyDeleteBut of cos, only those who can concentrate on self reciting (without looking at paper) will get the better result.
Just curious,
ReplyDeleteY cant we drink the Cleansing Water??
Would it be good when all the Negative Forces and Energies were being force out and leave with only the Postive Energies??
Juz a nobie que.
Like what I have posted, for some of the people, they might face very serious dis-comfort while the negative energies are being forced out by the Extreme Positive Energy, for some weak people, they might end up coma or seriously ill and so, for us, we will not advise people to drink them unless the Negative Energies that stayed inside the person's body is extremely Bad, etc...
ReplyDeleteI guess, for normal people, having a balance is better?
ReplyDeleteNot necessary to always have a balance.
ReplyDeleteCos one's physical body is made in a way that Peak & Low-peak shall be meet and one self will need to go thru the various type of High & Low in-order for one self to really understand the importance of the True Balancing.
This is why, in certain Taoist Contexts, advises for one self to go thru various mistakes before gaining the Accurate Result.
Care to elaborate on this?
ReplyDeleteAs in?
ReplyDeleteOn the Peak & Low-peak.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few different types of Peak & Low-peak.
ReplyDeleteOne of them can be sickness or illness that one self get infected.
Hi Shifu,
ReplyDelete1. I can't see clearly about Dao-finger Formation in pictures of Zhang Gong Sheng Jun's statue. Could you please give me a link where I can see clearly the dao finger formation you meant?
2. My second question sounds stupid and like a joke (but I seriously want to know). Can the cleansing water be called Holy Water like in the catholic church, that can be used against vampire?
Thank you in advance
Best regards,
Yang

Hi Master, why is Xuan Tian Shang Di invoked in the process of making cleansing water? Is it because the water element is represented by Northern direction?
ReplyDeleteYup, you are rite, you have mentioned the element of Xuan Tian.
ReplyDeleteInside the 敕水咒 for talismans, there is mention of a 北方壬癸水, but according to that chant, the water can be consumed (病者吞之，百鬼消除). Is this type of water and the cleansing water here similar since both invoke the North direction? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIn Taoism, there are a few types of Cleansing Water that needed to evoke the energy of 北方壬癸水, but not all are able to be consume due to their respective "effects".
