Hi Jave
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the tua and the devotees, we express our wholehearted thanks and gratitude to you and Royce for helping us out with this anniversary celebrations.
I can sense that the deities are very happy.
Both of you did a great job!
Cheers!
Hi, why is it that the old statues have to be dotted again? They don't look like they have been sent for repair right?
ReplyDeleteDear Jerry,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcomed and we are more than happy to assist you :P
Cos these 2 old statues had ever being "de-enhance" before. So using this opportunity, Long Guan Dian re-dot it again.
ReplyDeleteWhat is de-enhance?
ReplyDeleteUsing some Spiritual Skills to trap the energy.
ReplyDeleteLike that also can? u mean "lock" the god inside?How to see?
ReplyDeleteNot the Deity, is only the energy.
ReplyDeleteCos needed to keep the statues away, so this is the best way not to allow the statues being invaded by negative entities
who are the two statues ?
ReplyDeleteThey are Shan Cai Tong Zi
ReplyDeleteHi, so de-enhance is different from 退神, is it? Does this mean the deity still resides within the statue?
ReplyDeleteIn Taoism, there are a few skills in doing so, so not necessary to 退神.
