太上真一報父母恩重經 (Scripture of Yuan Shi Tian Zun explaining the Importance of Parents Kindness in bringing up Children – for the children repay the gratitude)

Not long ago, I saw in some websites that some other people wanted to promote the above mentioned Taoist Scripture, but after going thru the whole Websites, no explanation on what's the main purpose of the reciting of the Scriptures and somemore, no proper initiation for the reciting of the Scriptures (which sometime can lead to un-solvable issues).

In here, I will like to do some brief intro on the Scripture and, also to assist the other Taoists who wanted to recite this Scripture in how to initial the reciting (chanting).

太上真一報父母恩重經 (Tai Shang Zhen Yi Bao Fu Mu En Zhong Jing), a Scripture explained by Yuan Shi Tian Zun on how Parents spent their time, with tears and sweat, to bring up their own Children and how important for children to repay back the gratitude to their parent by doing chanting on this Scripture or engaging of Spiritual Masters to perform Salvation Rituals/Ceremonies for the passed-away Parents, etc.

In Taoism Rituals/Ceremonies, usually this Scripture is being chanted during Funeral Wakes or during the 7 Weeks of Offering at home after one of the Parent passed-away. But in sometime, when the parent is seriously sick or feeling unwell, as the children, they can also recite the Scripture in front of any Deities to request for blessings for the Parent.

In-order for those who are interested in reciting this Scripture for the passed-away Parents or Ancestors, I had added in the different mantras for the initiation of the reciting (chanting).
PS: This Scripture can be chanted on Death Anniversary of passed-away Parents or Ancestors or can be chanted on 1st and 15th Day of the Lunar Month.

Here it goes:

  4. Hahahaha, in-order to hav a more proper summoning of the souls of the ancestors to the Altar to listen to the Scripture reciting, I will pass you the ways of inviting them during the class.

    As for the others, you all can just called upon the passed-away person's name, invite them to the altar and listen to the chanting - for them to get the positive energy and get blessed by Heaven, etc.
