菊月朝禮斗府星君儀式圓滿落幕 Rounding Off the Lunar 9th Month Celebration

癸巳蛇年農曆九月慶典總算告一段落。

每年的這段時間﹐本門可以說是"忙上加忙"﹐除了辦理新弟子入門儀式﹐舉行本門開山紀念慶﹐為老天師舉行祝壽禮﹐以及為斗府諸真列聖舉行朝禮法會。

正一歷代掌教天師大真人寶誥內有記載 - "躬居寶笈。代斗姥以演真。"及本門戒規也有提到 - "以斗姆為尊﹐北斗為輔。"

就因此﹐小道不敢忘記這些教誨﹐繼續傳承正一朝禮斗尊之文化並遵照本門祖上遺訓﹐希望代代相傳﹐正一道教文化也能不期限的發揚光大。

斗府星君文化分享之廿二﹕禮斗法會相關對聯 Sharing on the Dipper Lords Culture 22 –The Ancient Couplets used for Lunar 9th Month Celebration

於此﹐小道將與各方同道好友分享一些有關”禮斗法會”的對聯。

In here, Jave will like to share with All of you a few Ancient Couplets that being used during the Lunar 9th Month Celebration.

All these Couplets are recorded in the Sub-Taoist Canon known as Dao Zang Ji Yao.

星臨萬戶。動望紫微遙居北極
風迫九秋。清封碧漢宛衛中樞

碁佈星羅。聽上方笙奏霓裳曲
霞飛雲歛。看東方露甚菊花天

敬誦萬卷千言。祉期用誠感物
虔拜五星七曜。總冀惟德動天

本一心以朝七星。星與心應
叩九天而行萬善。善自天申

畢雲箕風。佈恩於下土
南辰北斗。正位乎中天

七政尊崇醇化貞於斗極
三垣拱衛主宰位乎中宮

華蓋輔弼。紫微垣中。運行得以護命。
七元九皇。位座中宮。下降原來賜福。

一本經懺。懺悔真誠。自得天佑。
三敬北斗。斗光護命。消災延年。
