Thanksgiving of Long Shan Men & Fei Jie Fu for Xin Mao Year 2012 (正一龍山門及龍山飛捷府之辛卯年答謝神恩儀式)

On the 21st Day of Lunar 12 Month of Xin Mao Year (辛卯年農曆臘月廿一日), a Thanksgiving Honouring was being conducted at Long Shan Men’s 1st Assistant Leader cum 9th Disciple’s (Vabien Lee) Home dedicating to the Main.

At about 5.30Pm, Jave arrived at the new House of Vabien and most of the Offerings were already ready for the Ceremony to start. With the assistance of Vabien’s Mum in getting the cooked food ready for the Rewarding of the Heavenly & Spiritual Armies of the Three Realms, we were ready for the Ceremony.

Due to Royce was busy with his Taoist Premises’ Event, so we had to delay abit waiting for his arrival.

BY 8.00Pm, after Royce arrival and without further delaying, Jave initiated the Ceremony by making a simple report to the Three Realms & the Main Deities of Fei Jie Fu (飛捷府).

With the assistance of Vabien & Royce, the Ceremony started with the paying respect to the Three Pure Ones (三清道祖), following by inviting Guest Deities to the Banquet and then, making Tea & Wine Offering and last, inviting the Heavenly & Spiritual Armies to enjoy the Cuisines (see Pic 07 – meat stuffs for Generals & Armies) and also not forgetting the Horses (see Pic 11-12 – Ration Items & Veges, Water for Horses) .

After a round of Chanting of Taoist Scripture with Vabien & Royce assistance, Sending Off of Invited Deities was being conducted after Vabien got a Positive reply from the throwing of the Divination Block (聖筊).

By then, it was already 9.30Pm.

While Vabien & Royce were there to conduct the Sending Off of the Deities, Jave & Vabien’s Mum were in the kitchen preparing the Reunion Dinner.

Upon completion of the Reunion Dinner, Vabien, Royce & Jave proceed back to LSM’s HQ to conduct a simple Thanksgiving for the Deities.

The whole Ceremony ended at about 1.00Am and we proceed back to have a rest before the next day’s Ritual began.

Million Thanks to Vabien & Royce for sharing with us the pictures.

Special Thanks to Bro Chee Seng & Sis-in-law Cherie for sponsoring of the Roast Pig and the Meat stuffs. And also, Aunty Catherine for getting the Cooked Food for the Rewarding of the Armies.
