freesun Posted November 30, 2008 This sounds great, I wish every soul could have such guidance when moving to the other realm. Is there anything one can do to help the soul of a deceased to find their way when such comprehensive ritualistic guidance is not available? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Ape Posted December 1, 2008 When my teacher passed away our temple held the burial cermony if i remember it took 2-3 days it was huge. Our Kung Fu school then did a lion dance (White) lion that we then burn at the end which also was to guide him to the next life. Something ill always cherish! Thanks Tin for making me bring back that special day for me.... Ape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mak_Tin_Si Posted December 1, 2008 Yes, there are three ceremonies in the Taoism system called the Yellow Register, Jade Register and Gold Register ceremonies. These are the three major and huge ceremony in Taoism which can last for 1-3 days. The Yellow Register and Jade Register ceremonies are for the dead souls. Just like last time when there is an earthquake in China, our temple did 2 Jade ceremony for China and we have guide tons of souls to their next life. Many of the people who participated in the ceremony have told me that they have felt the huge energy that was send to China, also some have gain alot of good luck after participated the ceremony because they have did a good deed which generate good luck for them while doing something good for the dead souls. It is very powerful ceremony, and it takes alot of energy. So when we do this ceremony, we need to rest for 7days after full boost. This ceremony can help the whole country's dead soul or even more depending on the master's power. If you have a chance to go by Toronto and we have this ceremony on, you can join and experience this, it is unforgettable. This sounds great, I wish every soul could have such guidance when moving to the other realm. Is there anything one can do to help the soul of a deceased to find their way when such comprehensive ritualistic guidance is not available? Yes, that might the Yellow or Jade ceremony they are doing. It is really a high respect for the dead. I can say it is very powerful too.

benny Posted December 1, 2008 Don't pluralize "dead" .. In English the correct grammar is simply dead, not 'deads' Cheers, Benjamin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mak_Tin_Si Posted December 1, 2008 Oh, I am sorry, but when I think about how MANY souls were there on the ceremony we did, I cannot express myself with just dead but DEADs.. I am just feeling so bad because that earthquake was a tragedy for China.. I am sure most of you have forgotten about it now, but for those who are living in that place.. I am sure they are still recovering with painful feelings.. Mo Leung Tin Juen to them all. Don't pluralize "dead" .. In English the correct grammar is simply dead, not 'deads' Cheers, Benjamin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted December 2, 2008 Is there a possibility to learn of these things more in depth for oneself without having to (i presume) go to a temple? Just wondering... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mak_Tin_Si Posted December 5, 2008 Yes you can learn it yourself by finding the scriptures, but of course it will not work because you do not go through all these tough trainings before all these which gives you the power to get these scriptures, mantras, steppings and stuff to actually work. That is why finding a real master for doing the funeral is important because you want it to really work and benefit the dead. Is there a possibility to learn of these things more in depth for oneself without having to (i presume) go to a temple? Just wondering... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
