Pictures of Bai Jie Talisman (道教百解消災符)





In here, you will see the various types of Taoist Bai Jie Fu aka Talisman for Getting-rid/Warding-off of any form of Negative Entities and Luck.

In Tong Shu (通書), you will be able to see this Talisman being printed together with the Picture of Heavenly Master Zhang Dao Ling (正一天師張道陵).

Besides that, you are able to see this Fu in Gui Ren Paper (貴人紙) too.

In the past, when oneself's luck is down, the person will take the Bai Jie Fu from the Tong Shu and then visit any Temple to get the Fu to be enhanced and then, bring it around with oneself for protection.

  2. In the past, after paying respect, ppl tend to keep it but now, ppl tend to burn it.

    Once burn, meaning that the Gui Ren will be send-off, so from here, you can see the different culture and teaching from the olden days and modern era.

  5. In Chinese Custom practice, we will burn off the yellow one and keep the red one.

    The red one is to be enhanced by going round the urn for 3 times to absorb the positive energy from the Deities or Temples in order to evoke the invitation of the various directions' Gui Ren.

    For the yellow one known as Shu Wen (疏文) in Taoism (Spiritual Petition), oneself will need to fill in the name, DOB and residential address.

    Usually by burning one piece is enough, but nowadays, ppl tend to be more greedy and agressive, keep burning soooooo many sets and so... not much Gui Ren will arrive.. why? due to greediness.

  8. Yes, forever will only keep the Red one. The yellow one had to burn off.

    In the past, after bringing the Red one back, ppl will paste them on the Altar to pay respect.

  9. Shifu, what is the diff between small guiren and big guri ren paper?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Small Gui Ren only gathered the Gui Ren that are around you, such as ur friends, collegues, family members, etc... whereas Big Gui Ren can be from people from overseas, opportunities, Deities or even your passed-on family members, etc...

  11. Hi Jave,

    I would like to ask how do you fill up the yellow piece as there is many space in the document so I don't really know which space is for what particular. There is also a above section to this part right? Must we fill it up too? Thanks Thanks... :)

  12. Usually we will only fill in the name, DOB and resident address.

    Once you open up the yellow paper, on the right hand column, you will see spaces for you to write your particular.

  16. Hi Shifu! Sorry for posting this late, but I now saw Bai Jie Paper here in Manila! But it is very different from what is posted here. The Bai Jie paper here has no color painting, but other than that, exactly the same The shopkeeper says she burns it 2x a day, and even gives some to her Filipina maids, so that everyone will be lucky. I know she has good intentions, but is this correct practice?

    Also, how to use Bai Jie? Burn everything? Or do we cut off the "Fu" (the bottom part) to bring along? Also, where to put names and address? Is it like Gui Ren paper too?
