    The truth of tao lies in everything, if you can see through the nature, you will find out that every actions you do in a normal daily life will reflect and influence everything in your life including wealth, health, family, luck, mood, anything.

     

    As LaoZi have said you can stay in a house and know the universe.

    Ching Ming Festival is coming on this weekend, april 4th!

     

    As a taoist, we shall all know that Ching Ming is a very important day for us to worship and honor the ancestors who passed away.

     

    Ching Ming is also called the "tomb sweeping day" in chinese culture.

     

    Ching Ming is one of the solar terms too, which is good for people to go walk outside and enjoy the spring's energy. That is also why people like to walk up the mountains and visit their ancestor's grave. During the festival, lots of people will go out to their ancestors tomb for visit and honor them with all kinds of offerings such as fruits, meats, flowers, etc,. For those who do have their own ancestor altar setup at home, they will also do it at home too.

     

    It is a showing of "love and respect" to the ancestor to remember this special day and honor them with offerings and incense every year. Ching Ming and "double yang" 重陽 festival are the 2 major festival that chinese worhsip and honor their ancestors. Which we never forget and will also do our best to honor them.

     

    In our temple, we are hosting a Jade Ceremony for the dead and the ancestors too. 玉籙大齋. If you are one of them that visit your ancestors on the day, remember to bring offerings and remember to burn incense!

     

    all the best!

    Maybe let me introduce our lineage's first few stages of learning taoism, just to share!

     

     

    1. building linkage to taoism - 結緣 (Git Yuen) this is to get a touch with taoism, like looking at taoism things, website, or even contact me etc,.

     

    2. Request for Enrollment to the lineage - 入門 (yap moon) this is to enroll as a "stage1" student of the lineage of Chi in Nature (NG YIN DO PAI 悟然道派) by requesting for enrollment.

     

    3. Successfully Enrolled as stage1 student (Moon Sung) 成為門生 - this means I have finished with the ceremony at the temple to enroll you as the student (stage1) of chi in nature's lineage. Which gave you the taoism energy (FAAT) and the attunement etc,. We also report to the heaven saying that you have been registered into the lineage, but you do not belong to "Taoism" the religion yet.

    *That is why this stage1 is religious free.

     

    4. Cultivating Stage1 - 修練 (Sau Lin) - This stage is to cultivate and learn the materials taught in stage1, which also include the lineage poem, and one internal alchemy foundation practise which build up the foundation energy of FAAT (taoism energy) and strengthen your linkage to the lineage. In this stage, you also gain 24/7 blessings and protection from the lineage and the deities of the lineage.

     

    5. Requesting for Tao - 求道 Kau Dao - This stage is to request for the stage2 which allow us to ordained you into the religion of taoism, giving you a taoist name under the lineage's poem, more energy transfer, passing on basic mudras, report to heaven that you are stage2 student (taoist) of the lineage of Chi in Nature and which gave you more energy access, and blessings of 24/7 from the 36000+ deities of taoism. you will also learn a new internal alchemy practise in this stage. But in this stage,you have to give up beef !

     

    Now you successfully became a taoist from a newbie!

     

    that is the very basic stages to learn taoism or become a taoist in the lineage of Chi in Nature.

    Taoism do have cultivations that talks and teaches about compassion which are the basic study of precepts and commandments. When you first got into the stage of being a "taoist that accepted precepts", your master would give you the precepts and commandments which allow you to be attuned to the deities' energy and also cultivate the precepts's method. Compassion is one of them.
