Golden Tiger General 金虎爷将军

Kam Dong San new temple is about to be completed. One of the final addition to the deities pantheon for the new temple is Golden Tiger General.

Around the second week of October, I have a sense that I need to make a trip to one of the Golden Tiger 🐯 Temple in Taiwan 🇹🇼 to invite the Deity officially from his old temple. 

I have asked for KDS Temple Deities permission and advise that I need to make the trip. My purpose was to just invite the incense ashes 香火 from the temple. Whether the need to invite the statue or not, deities informed me when you reach you shall know. 

The dilemma was because I have already ordered a custom made 24inch statue for the new temple about 2 months back. 



Therefore the trip to Kao Hsiung City, Taiwan was decided in a short span of time due to last minute sense. 

When we arrived this morning at 新港奉天宫 Xin Gang Feng Tian Gong at ChiaYi City about 150km from Kao Hsiung, immediately can sense the strong positive vibrant qi from the 妈祖 Ma Zu Deity (main deity of the temple). 


I have proceeded to officially report and request the incense ash from Ma Zu. 

My sister was also interested in inviting the Golden Tiger Deity for her new office. 

To invite the statue back home or office, the person have to get 3 consecutive positive oracle from the deity (3 Sheng Puay) 

Upon getting 3 consecutive positive oracle, then one have to further get 3 consecutive positive oracle for the size of the statue. Any negative puay then it is considered request not fulfilled. 

My sister requested for her office and also on behalf of her friends. 

While my eldest son suddenly told me he wanted to request the statue back to our home. We have already have a 12 inch statue at home. Anyhow since it is official temple and he request due to his own intention then we let him try. 


He got 3 consecutive positive oracle. As he proceeded to select the size, we thought of maybe a smaller one will do. However he did not get an approval for the small statue. Even the temple volunteers were puzzled. 



Then my sister told me 'The bigger one'. We told the volunteers why not let him try to asked for requesting the bigger size? 

He then got straight 3 positive and the temple helpers says why dont he continue and see how many he will get. He proceeded and got 5 consecutive positive oracle. 



With that, he has officially requested the Golden Tiger General Statue back with him. Unknowingly he was the one with most affinity with this Deity. As our KDS Deities had informed me earlier, you will know when you reach there on whether to invite the statue or not. Such is the way the top works. 


Kam Dong San Temple will also have a 2 feet tall statue of Golden Tiger General.

The Man with the Triangle Hat

I have helped many members of our temple to install their Earth Deity (地主) and also written few articles in this blog relating to the Earth Deity.
Earth Deities encounters almost 10 years back

More recent Earth Deity to help in work matters

Many years ago, my 'spiritual master' taught me how to connect with different earth deities during my meditative stabilization, which is useful when doing the installation as I can advise members on what are preference of offering of the Earth Deity in their household. 

One of my client and temple member in KL Richard (not his real name) when he moved into his factory office 2 years ago did asked me what Taoist Deities suits him best for his new factory. I just advised him to install Earth Deity at the time.



About 2 days ago I received a WhatsApp communication from him that his office staff saw the Earth Deity inside their current office.




His staff saw the Earth Deity in the office. Initially his staff described the outfit of the Earth Deity and the hat in triangle shape as in Vietnamese farmer hat. However later my client confirmed to me it is similar to Qing Dynasty officer’s outfit. http://en.chinaculture.org/2014-12/11/content_584869_2.htm

He went on to inform me that his staff cannot confirm whether it was a Qing Dynasty summer hat or a Vietnamese hat. 

I can confirm it is a Qing Dynasty type of hat. Then one may wonder what is a Qing Dynasty Officer doing in Malaysia? And end up being enshrine as Earth Deity? Well if you looked up Kuala Lumpur history and British Colonial rule era and their elected ‘Kapitan’ then the hat would make sense.

Anyhow I am glad that at least one of his staff saw and able to informed him. As I remember 1 of his staff actually did strike some 4d when asking the Earth Deity for help. Earth Deities can come in many different forms, as long as it was properly consecrated then they will definitely help the household or office.
