On the 6 of March 2011 (Sunday) aka 2nd Day of Lunar 2 Month (辛卯年農曆二月初二日), Tong Shan Tang (新加坡童善堂) had conducted a Honouring Celebration dedicated to Fu De Zheng Shen (福德正神大伯公) aka Earth Deity and Tiger Deity (虎神).
With a few Days of Preparation, our Taoist Bro Royce had got the necessary Offerings for Fu De Zheng Shen and Tiger Deity. This Year was the 1st Year that Taoist Bro Royce set-up the Sugar-cane Gate (甘蔗門) for the Celebration and after a week, the Sugar-cane Gate started to grow Shoots and turn Greener, this was a Good Sign for Tong Shan Tang and also, the Members in there – see Pic 01 - 03.
Early Morning of 6 of March, with the assistance of his Mother, Taoist Bro Royce had conducted the Manifestation Honouring, followed by, Honouring of Tiger Deity for the Public – see Pic 18 - 22.
In the Afternoon, Tong Shan Tang also conducted the Rewarding of Spiritual Armies known as Kao Jun (犒軍) dedicated to the Five Directional Camps of Tong Shan Tang and it’s Main Deity – Lord Guan Yu (關聖帝君) – see Pic 17.
Million Thanks to Taoist Bro Royce for sharing with us the Pictures.

Dear Kelvin,
ReplyDeleteThe other 5 are, Chinese Tea (茶), Food (食), Treasure (寶), Pearls or Beads (珠) & Clothing/Cloth (衣).

ReplyDeleteThese are the Papers for the Honouring of Tiger Deity and also, to usher in the Gui Ren.
ReplyDeleteKo Kun...food is more essential or joss paper more essential? Some tua stress on more food to reward the armies while some just advise of burning josspaper is good enough.
ReplyDeleteUsually for me, Paper are more essential. Cos for the Food, we have ways to "transform" them into "Big Amount"
ReplyDeletecos i often see people put some food like kueh , etc..at kun cheong altar to pray things..then i heard once their prayers answered , they would buy some food goodies to thanks kun cheong again.
ReplyDeleteYup yup, that one of the ways to exchange deals, but for sure not very good la
ReplyDeleteY not good?
ReplyDeleteCos we dont exchange deals with Armies, cos do once, next time they will want it too
ReplyDeleteNo wonder las time ah soon uncle ask me to pray to guanyin will do. She will assign her armies if necessary is it?
ReplyDeleteYup, usually for us, we dont encourage ppl to request anything from Armies, especially the one that being used in Sintuas.
ReplyDeleteThen if request from big temple like loyang pek kong or teegong tua?
ReplyDeleteUsually dont
