Long Shan Fei Jie Fu Celebration Lord Pu Hua’s Manifestation Anniversary 2010 (庚寅年正一龍山飛捷府啟建普化天尊聖誕祝壽科儀)





This Year, Year 2010 (天運庚寅年), with the initiative and volunteering of conducting a Celebration Honouring dedicated to Heavenly Lord Pu Hua (九天應元雷聲普化天尊) by Vabien, on the 24th Day of Lunar 6 Month (04 Aug 2010 農曆六月廿四日), the Celebration Honouring was being conducted at Vabien’s House.

PS: Heavenly Lord Pu Hua was also known as the Heavenly Lord of the Thunderial Department in Taoism, whom is in-charge of the Five Type of High Authorities Thunders (五雷).

In the early Morning, still raining heavily, Jave had went down town to get the delicious 6 Vegetarian Items for the Honouring and due to heavy rain and traffic jams everywhere in town, Jave was slightly for the Honouring and upon arriving at Vabien’s House, most of the Offerings were already being lay-out nicely, waiting for my Vegetarian Items and also, the newly enhanced Statue of Heavenly Lord Pu Hua (see pic 03).

This Statue of Lord Pu Hua was being custom-made 2 years ago (according to the descriptions mentioned inside the Scripture & Bao Gao 寶誥) upon the request of Lord Pu Hua while most of the Long Shan Men’s disciples doing training on the Only Dedicated Scripture of Lord Pu Hua – Yu Su Bao Jing (玉樞寶經).

Due to space-constraints on our individual altar, this Statue of Lord Pu Hua had never being enhanced and invited and today, it was really our fortune and joyous to have the chance of inviting the Statue of Lord Pu Hua for the witnessing of the Celebration Honouring at the Branch in-charged by Vabien – Zheng Yi Long Shan Fei Jie Fu (正一龍山飛捷府).

At about 11.30Am, the Celebration Honouring started by making a short report to the Three Realms, Cleansing and also, enhancing the Offerings (see pic 07).

Once the Cleansing was done, the Honouring for the Manifestation of Lord Pu Hua began, this Honouring was known as Birthday Respect, Zhu Shou (祝壽) in Chinese (see pic 08-14).

After the Zhu Shou was done, Vabien was advice to throw the Divination Block (筊杯) to ask for whether the Deities accepted the Honouring and with delightfulness, Vabien was given a nice reply (see pic 15-18).

With completion of Vabien’s enquiries, it was the time for Jave to chant the Only Dedicated Scripture of Lord Pu Hua – Yu Su Bao Jing (see pic 19-22). During the Chanting of Yu Su Bao Jing, Vabien had encountered the Mentioned Miracles in the Yu Su Bao Jing, for this, I will leave it to Vabien to explain to you all in the future.

Due to this Day was considered an Auspicious & Important Day in Taoism, upon the request of Vabien, Jave also conducted the Enhancing of 10 Amulet Bags (富貴平安香火袋) for Vabien for the distributing to Devotees & Fated Parties (see pic 23-28).

Upon the completion of the Amulet Bags, it was time for Jave to enhance and also performing the requesting of Authorities from Lord Pu Hua & Lord Tai Yi (太乙尋聲救苦天尊) for Vabien’s 2 Spiritual Flags – Flag of Inspector of the Six Official Departments of Long Shan Men (正一龍山九天巡撫六府都案令旗) and Flag of Tian Peng Tian You Heavenly Army (天篷天猷北天玄極護法令旗) - (see pic 29-48).

At about 2.00Pm, the whole Celebration Honouring and Enhancing of Spiritual Items were done and we proceed to the Sending-off of Paper Offerings (see pic 74-82). As usual, we encountered the same experience of last year while presenting our Paper Offerings to Lord Pu Hua – Sun-shine Rain under a Cloudless moment.

  1. Haha...indeed a very interesting and special day for people who were present...

    The whole morning was cloudy and after that it started to rain even during the birthday respects but in the midst of the recitation of the Yu Shu Bao Jing, I could see the clouds were starting to disperse and the rain slowly ceasing. It became sunny thereafter and the view from my window became very clear compared to the early hours of the morning. Interesting indeed...

    The sunshine rain during the burning of the paper offerings was also a moment not to forget...

    Could you share with us the benefits of reciting Yu Shu Bao Jing?

    P.S.: Thanks for washing the plates after the ceremony...Haha... =P
