Choosing the Right Door for Temple (宮廟之門乾坤之妙)





Due to Modernization & Commercialization, new Temples in the current Era usually dont pay much attention to the Doors, which Jave can says that, it is a very Wrong & Unforgiveable Mistake/Sin.

Before the Frame of the Main Temple Door is ready/up, the Temple Committee shall proceed with the Choosing of the Best Material for making of the Temple Door.

Besides that, the Designs (by Ranking of the Main Deities in the Temple 宮廟主神之神格來選定廟門上之圖樣) shall be out and allowed the Carving Masters to do the necessary adjustment or editing before the Auspicious Date is due for the Carving of the Door.

Lastly, after the Temple Doors are done with the Carving, Coloring and Coating with Protecting Shield-layer, another Auspicious Date must be chosen for the Installation.

Upon Installation, the Enhancing of the Doors (not Dotting the Door Deities yet) must be conducted and Reporting to the Main Deities (上告主神), Earth Deity (下祝土地) & Dragon Deities (遣使龍神) must be carried-out.

With all these necessary procedures being carried-out, then the Final Preparation will be the Official Opening of the Temple.

Either of the above mentioned-step is not being carried-out, the Energies of the Temple will be affected, which later may encountered in several un-necessary issues.

PS: Million Thanks to Master Lin from Taiwan for the sharing of the Pictures.
