Taoist Yi Long’s Home conducting Annual Thanksgiving Ceremony 2012 (乙龍道兄宅上啟建辛卯年答謝神恩科儀)

On the 14th Day of Lunar 12 Month (07 Jan 2011, a Saturday), just before Jave was at Jurong East Feng Shan Si (新加坡裕廊東鳳山寺) to conduct the Annual Thanksgiving Ceremony (答謝神恩), in the morning at 10.00Am, Jave had conducted a round of Thanksgiving Ceremony at Taoist Bro Yi Long’s Home located at Sengkang.

Upon arrival at the Premises, Yi Long and his whole family was there readily waiting for the Thanksgiving Ceremony to be conducted. Without any further delay, the Thanksgiving Ceremony started at 10.30Am.

As usual, the Ceremony began with a short reporting, inviting of Deities and reading once the Chanting was done, we proceed with the asking for instruction on whether the Ceremony was being accepted by the Deities and a Positive Yes Reply (聖筊) was granted to us almost immediately.

And with the Acceptance of the Deities, we proceed with the Sending-off of the Paper-offerings.

At about 11.30, the Ceremony ended smoothly. Jave had to leave the Premises and headed down to Jurong East Feng Shan Si for the 2nd round of Thanksgiving Ceremony.

Hope to see the Deities again in 2013 (壬辰年再見).

Million Thanks to Taoist Bro Yi Long and his Wife for sharing with us the Pictures.
