Empress Mother Earth Manifestation Anniversary (地母元君華誕)

18 Day of Lunar 10 Month (農曆十月十八日), is a day that considered as the Birthday of Di Mu Yuan Jun aka Empress Mother Earth or in short, Mother Earth (為地母元君華誕-地母又稱大地之母﹐守護一切農耕稻收等).

 

Till today, there is still a number of Taoists or even other Religions followers pay respect (honour) to Di Mu Yuan Jun as a form of expressing our gratitude to her for protecting our Planet Earth from any external energies invading (驅逐外來不正之氣所侵犯), blessing the natural soil in this Planet Earth from being seriously infected by diseases (庇佑萬里黃土之氣不受染), etc.

 

Even though there still a number of followers for Di Mu Yuan Jun, but due to the Modernization events going on and a revolution in cultures, traditional Rituals/Ceremonies, that are dedicated to Di Mu Yuan Jun, had change a lot.

 

In order Di Mu Yuan Jun to continue giving the necessary blessing to this Planet Earth, we must return our gratitude to Di Mu Yuan Jun by staying closely connected with her by reciting her Scriptures (地母聖經) or Bao Gao (Praise Mantra 地母寶誥).
