七種能用與法事科儀中的植物類

七種能用與法事科儀中的植物類

以下是小道欲與大家一同分享的"神奇神聖"植物類。以下七中植物類﹐目前在道教/民間法事中﹐只有一兩種(楊柳枝/菊花)被大量的使用。如往後﹐在情急之時﹐無法找到這一兩種(楊柳枝/菊花)﹐大家可用其他較為少用的植物類取而代之。

楊柳枝

在古時常被大量使用。尤其在舉行超度法會時﹐更是一種不可少的聖植物。因現今的社會﹐住宅區無法種植大型樹類﹐因此在道教法會中﹐楊柳枝通常會被其他植物類取而代之。

石榴葉(紅花葉)

形似楊柳枝﹐因民間一般認為石榴葉梗帶刺﹐能除妖驅魔﹐因此在無法取得楊柳枝時﹐會以石榴葉代之。

杜松枝

在福州莆田道教法會中常見的聖植物。功能類似石榴葉﹐有著除妖驅魔及納福迎祥的作用。一旦有大型吉慶活動﹐出嫁的福州婦女皆要在髮上佩戴繫著紅線的杜松枝。

杉樹類/松樹葉

通常會在日本神道法會中見到。如今也被佛教所引進使用。杉樹類/松樹葉代表清靜及清潔﹐因此能很好及快速的將晦氣/穢物除去。

柚子葉

普遍被使用的一種聖植物。被一般大眾認為擁有清除不祥之物的功能。不但如此﹐還能將一些心魔除去﹐已達精氣神清的功效。

菊花

用于超度法會。花表自然。願天下蒼生以自然心﹐修的正道。願天下幽靈魄以自然氣﹐得以超生。

榕樹葉

因屬陰植物類﹐較少會有人用榕樹葉來防身。但大家可不要忽略了它的本性。榕樹葉﹐雖屬陰﹐但其功能可將遊靈擋風遮雨﹐功德無可思議。如有人在不知情得情況下﹐卡到陰﹐可用榕樹葉洗身﹐將其陰氣洗掉。

正氣長存于宅中

正氣長存于宅中

又到一年清黗的時候了，在清黗，即使將一年纍積的“灰塵”掃除。

除了得把“實體”的灰塵清除，也得把“無形”的晦氣給卻走。

在道教净化文化中，有著很多不同的净化法，但每年我都會與大家分享一種最簡單，也適合平凡人做的净化法，其法稱爲 – 正氣淨宅保平安，既是用《正氣散》在家中薰一薰。

那什麽是《正氣散》呢？

《正氣散》是由至少五種天然木科草藥所配合而成，以下便是:

1 – 乾藿香 – 100克

2 – 乾艾草 – 100克

3 – 乾芙蓉 – 100克

4 – 乾甘草 – 100克

5 – 檀香支 – 適量

將所有乾草藥研磨成粉，之後攪拌均匀。

在清黗（大掃除）之後或在“安神”時，點燃《正氣散》再加入檀香支，讓其《正氣散》之煙薰滿家中的每個角落。

一旦薰完后，家中氣場會有所改變，大家不妨試試。

在此分享，供大家參考，也在此先恭祝大家：

正氣臨門百祟除。

陽泰鎮宅千福臻。

恭喜恭喜。

三無量。

大道心。

Cleansing of one's home with Chinese Medical Herbs (正氣長存于宅中)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Other

Alot of the people had been approaching me for one same enquiry, How to do a proper, effective and easy Cleansing for one's home (may it be a totally new one, etc).

And of cos, my task to share with them and in here, all of you.

To get the best and the most appropriate way of doing cleansing (this is the way that being practice by the Official Priests and Chinese Physicians for Centuries), one self can prepare the following stuff:

1 get a New Urn (not necessary to be very big, maybe a diameter of 8 Inches)

2 go to a Chinese Medical Hall to get the following Chinese Herbs:

2a) 藿香 (Huo Xiang, English term: Agastachis Herba)

2b) 甘草（Gan Cao, English term: Liquorice)

 
3 go to Joss-shop to get some Incense-powder (used during Ritual/Ceremony)

After getting all the stuffs, choose a Good Morning (without Raining, Storm or No-sunshine Day), best that everyone is at home.

Bring out the Urn, wash it with Water, dry it and them, pour some of the Incense-powder into the Urn to make a layer of Base.

Then, spread out the Huo Xiang and Gan Cao over the Powder-base, after spreading the Herbs out, pour another layer of Powder onto the Herbs, repeat the procedure for at least 3 times (meaning 3 Layers) and then, light a stick of incense and throw it into the Urn (allow the Incense to slowly lit the Powder up).

Once the fume of the Burning started to get thicker, walk around the whole Premises, allow the Fume (smoke) to reach every corner of the Premises.

After the whole Premises is being Cleansed, place the Urn in the Center of the whole Premises, in-order to allow the Fume to continue doing the necessary Cleansing. During this period, everyone in the Premises can take turn to start in front of the Urn to allow the Fume to flow thru the Whole Physical Body, by doing so, it will attain a form of Physical, Mind & Soul Cleansing.

Once the whole Cleansing Process is done, make sure the Burning stopped in the Urn and then keep the Urn in a safe and dry place. Do not throw the Urn away, cos the Urn may be used for next Cleansing Process.

Okay, till here, some of you might have some enquiries on whether will the Fume do harm to one self, my reply is an absolute NO. According to Chinese Medical Theory, Huo Xiang is a Chinese Herb that used to do Killing of Germs in the Ancient Era whenever there is a Virsus-attack disaster and according to the Modern Scienticfic Examination, Huo Xiang is able to kill at least 80% of the Normal Virsus that can be found in our Surrounding. And for Gan Cao, it is a form of Chinese Herb that act as Catalyst in many Mixture Processing and so, by adding these 2 Chinese Herbs together for the Cleansing Process, it will somehow reached a Higher Percentage of Cleansing Objective.

In Spiritual Theory, Huo Xiang is treated as a form of Spiritual Weapon that give out Brightness and Strength to overcome any form of Negative Entities or Energies, by calling upon the Energy that being given out by Gan Cao (in Chinese Term known as Deity of Medicine), the surrounding stubborn Energies will be ward-off and so, a Spiritual Cleansing will take effect in a very short moment.

And so, when can such Cleansing be done?

For those who are okay with the Fuming, such Cleansing can be done in Weekly basis, if not, Monthly basis.

Best timing to do such Cleansing will be,

1 when there is sick member who stay at home
2 49/100 Days after Funeral (when the Tablet being transfered onto the Main Altar)
3 before moving into a New House
4 after Major Renovation
5 Moving into a New Temple
6 while Priest performing the Dotting Ritual for new statues

In Taoist Context, such Cleansing is known as Zheng Qi Chang Cun, Yin Yang Shun Diao (正氣長存。陰陽順調), meaning The Upright will retain and the Yin Yang will Balance.
