Fei Jie Fu Celebration for 5th Month of Xin Mao Year 2011 (正一龍山飛捷府蒲月祝壽慶典儀式)





With a blink of the eyes, another year had passed.

This is the 3rd Year that Fei Jie Fu is having its Annual Celebration.

1st Year in 2009,was the setting up of Fei Jie Fu after the dotting of Heavenly Marshal Jiang Fei Jie’s Statue.

2nd Year in 2010, celebration conducted at the old house of Vabien.

3rd Year in 2011, celebration conducted at the new house of Vabien.

This year, Vabien took about 2 weeks to do the preparation and must thanks to those who have volunteered in assisting him in getting the necessary Offerings, etc.

On 17 Jun (Friday), Jave went over to assist Vabien in the setting up of the necessary Scrolls and Paper Offerings for the main Day Celebration.

On 18 Jun (Sat), Jave & Vabien went to do some last minute shopping on the Food Offerings and after then, Vabien went home for the last minute necessary preparation.

On 19 Jun (Sun), the main Celebration Day, Jave & Royce arrived at Vabien’s Home at 9.00Am.

By 10.30Am, we were ready for Initiation of the start of the Celebration.

By 11.00Am, the Dotting of the new Statues were being conducted. This time round, a few new Statues of Fei Jie Fu were being dotted.

They were as followed:

1 – Tian Yi Gui Ren Zi Huang Tian Zun (天乙貴人紫皇天尊)
2 – Shang Shan Fa E Shuang Tian Guan (賞善罰惡雙天官)
3 – Tian Chu Gui Ren (天廚貴人) & Kitchen Deity (司命灶君)
4 – Lin Shui Fu Ren Chen Jing Gu (臨水夫人陳靖姑)
5 – Jiu Lei Long Shen (九壘龍神)
6 – City Deity (當境城隍)
7 – Horse Attendant (馬官) & Heavenly Horse (天馬)
8 – Qi Lin Tian Guan for Fei Jie Fu (麒麟天官)
9 – Du Cai Fu’s Heavenly Marshal Zhao Gong Ming’s Tablet (趙公明天君八卦鏡)

At about 12.30Pm, the whole Dotting Ceremony was completed and then, we proceed with the Ten Offerings Ceremony (道教十供獻敬科儀).

And this was the 1st Year for LSM to introduce the Official Taoist 20 Offerings (道門二十大供) to the Public and Fei Jie Fu was the one to represent LSM to re-introduce it to the public after a few decades. Usually these 20 Offerings can only be used by Taoist Priests during Special Occasion or Celebrations.

At 1.30Pm, after the Ten Offerings Ceremony, we proceed with the Anniversary Respect Ceremony (祝壽科儀).

Upon the completion of the Anniversary Respect Ceremony, all of us proceed with the sending off of the Paper Offerings and by 3.00Pm, the Day’s Event ended.

At 4.00Pm, we went over to Jiu Li Dong Temple (新加坡九鯉洞) to pay our respect to the Nine Carps Immortals (九鯉仙師) as instructed by the Deities and at 6.00Pm, we arrived back at Vabien’s Place to conduct the Night Salvation Ceremony for the Wanderings (濟渡儀式).

At 9.00Pm, the whole Day’s Ceremony ended smoothly and so, after a long day’s Event, finally all of us can have a good rest and meal.

At 11.00Pm, we left Vabien’s Place to head home for a good night rest.

On 20 Jun (Mon), Vabien had another simple round of Honouring dedicating to All the Home Deities and Guest Deities for the witnessing of this Year’s Celebration.

Million Thanks to Vabien & Royce for sharing with us the Pictures.

  14. To prevent from all evil entering the premises? Is it harmful to face it our neighbour if we hang it at the door

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yup, to prevent that.
    Usually for human to human is ok.
    This will only take effect on the negative entities.

  17. Hi Master, how come this Cheng Huang has a white beard like Tua Peh Kong, unlike the usual ones we see with a black beard? Any special meaning behind this?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Then y some cheng huang black faced while some are white faced..is there any meaning?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yup, this is a special Cheng Huang that came to inform on the outlook.

    To be more accurate, Cheng Huang & Tu Di dont appear in the form that we usually see from the statues that can be bought off the shelves. Different areas of Cheng Huang & Tu Di can appear in different age, form or even genders.

  20. Jave, is this Horse Attendant (馬官) or Heavenly Horse (天馬)? What is the difference? I always go to Kong Chow Temple in San Francisco, there is a bronze horse statue on the floor & next to the horse there is a turtle/tortoise like animal, we always pray to both of them, do you have any idea who/what they are? I don't have any picture, since no camera allowed inside the temple.
