Tong Shan Tang 7 Month Salvation Ritual Series 2 2012 Part 4 - The Great Send Off (新加坡童善堂壬辰年薦祖解冤赦罪儀式之渡橋昇天)

The most unbearable & touching moment of the whole 7th Month Celebration for Tong Shan Tang.

After the Distribution Offerings to the Souls Ritual completed, each individual family member was asked to bid farewell to the Ancestors & their Pass-on family members.

Upon completion, the descendants had to carry the Tablets of the Ancestors & Pass-on to cross 3 Bridges before "they" were being led to the "Eastern Palace" thru the "Burning".

While crossing of the Bridges, the family members had to call out the names of the Pass-on, which somehow made the whole atmosphere to be more saddening and touchy.

With 3 rounds of Crossing, the Tablets & Paper Offerings were being carried to the burning cages for sending off.

At the burning area, short reports were being made to the Three Realms and Spiritual Armies were being summoned to guide on the burning ground to prevent any nasty beings from "snatching away" the Offerings.

With the setting of "Fire" to the Paper Offerings, every Soul was being "directed" onto the "Path of Joyous".
