Tian Gong Temple Final Set-up for the Dotting Ceremony (萬壽山天公廟開光法會前之最後籌備工作)





Today (10 July 2010), after conducting a Dotting Ceremony at Taoist Bro Nelson Yeo’s Home, we all went over to Telok Blangah Height Tian Gong Temple to set-up the necessary Altars & Offerings for the Dotting Ceremony that take placed on Sunday (11 July 2010).

At 3.30Pm, we arrived at Tian Gong Temple, upon our arrival, we had saw quite a lot of the Major Offerings had been spread-out on the new Altars.

Since that we were already late for the Set-up, so without any further delay, we started our setting-up of Altars & Offerings.

Million Thanks to Taoist Bro Nelson and all for the helping out in the setting-up.

While we were busy cleaning the Altars, Vabien was there to do the preparation of the 24 Bowls (傳統廿四碗) and special thanks to him for the contributing of the 24 Bowls and also, some Kueh-items (糕點).

In Picture 01 – 03, you all will be able to see the Traditional Offering Holder (餞盒架) & the 3 Peanuts Sacrifice-offerings (齋料三牲), all these were sponsored by Taoist Bro Nelson & his Wife Sis Ailsa.

After 1.5 hours of setting up, we finally completed the task and left the Temple for home for a good rest.

  1. I was there this afternoon.

    When I saw the Standing Guan Yin (also affectionately known as Nan Hai Da4 Zhu3 Niang2 ), I just felt so 'touched'.

    You can see spots of freshly dotted 'zhu sha' onnthe forhead, eyes hands, feet of the statue.

    I know there is 'presence'. Deity's presence.

    Beside Guan Yin, there is a Monkey God on her right. Flanking her LEFT, it is our Nezha.

    I enjoyed those TV drama serials featuring those two deities.

    If you have the opportunity, do go and visit this temple.

    The 3 statues just feel so commanding, yet tranquil.

    Just purchase a set of candles (from the counter) and place the lighted candle(s) on the altar.

    Its blissful.
