On this year's Zhao Gong Ming Xuan Tan 趙公明玄壇 Celebration (God of Wealth). One of my Taoist Disiple, Fa Hong have requested for God of Wealth Statue to his office for the whole year.
A few weeks after that, when I met him at the temple. He told me that his shop neighbour, told him God of Wealth from the Heaven are not as powerful. Those Earth bound God of Wealth are more giving and will give more compare to God of Wealth from Heaven.
What they are referring to Earth bound God of Wealth are actually Death Marshals.
They have many names but their work task is the same which is to bring those who have pass on to where ever they are suppose to be. Their primary task is actually not to distribute or help those who need wealth, but somehow people feel that these Marshals are more approachable compared to the Heavenly Deities.
Actual Earth Bound God of Wealth is known as Earth God. We have regional earth deities, area earth deities and also household earth deities. They are known as 土地神 Tu Di Shen or Di Zhu 地主.
Why are they known as Earth Wealth God. Because they are Earth Bound deities of the area, and usually can help grant some favours or give the person some hints or help in acquiring some extra money, not necessarily wealth.
Now the ultimate question is which one is more GIVING? Earth Bound Deities, help in specific individual matters. For example, if you are working for a company, and request for help from Earth Bound Deities, if your request is granted, then most likely your boss would increase your salary.
Heaven God of Wealth on the other hand bestow streams of energy. They do not grant outright wealth as the Earth Bound Deities. These streams of light energy are what we know as wisdom energy. Wisdom energy as the name imply increase a person's wisdom.
What's wisdom got to do with money or wealth? It is an idea that sparks of a whole new way of earning money and wealth. All it takes is 1 good idea and that will change the way you see your business or the skills you have. An idea can blossoms in hundreds and perhaps millions of dollars.
So would you rather have a new idea or increase in salary?There is no comparison, as I have inform Fa Hong, it is like comparing an airplane with a car.
In reality however, we all need as much as we can, both from Earth Wealth God and also Heaven Wealth God.
