Heavenly Wealth or Earthly Wealth ?

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.

Grandma, we are glad that you like your new blouse

During the lunar 7^th month, I was in Bangkok with temple members doing coffin donation charity for ourselves and also on behalf of temple members and their family. Penny (one of our close friend and temple member) have casually mentioned to us that she dreamt of her late grandma. I have casually told her that maybe her grandma needed some provision on the other side.

When we got back to Penang, it was close to end of the lunar 7^th Month, at that time suddenly I've also got some hints and decided to ask Penny whether she had bought provision to burn for her grandma.

Within the day, she went to the joss sticks shop and bought all the necessary provisions including new paper clothes, gold papers, powders, rebirth mantra papers etc in preparation to offer for her grandma.

Penny asked me whether anything she should recite or say when burning those offerings for her grandma because the ancestral tablet was not with her in Penang. I have just told her that to think about her grandma when she burn those offerings, and added that why don't you ask Peter to help you out. Her husband, Peter is a disciple of our Kam Dong San Temple.

Therefore the next morning after our conversation, Peter helped her burn those offerings by requesting our Temple Deities to help in the confirmed delivery to her grandma.

Peter posted on my Taoist Disciple page the same day after burning the offering.

After the offering, Penny did wonder whether her grandma did receive it. She told me that she didnt dreamt of her grandma anymore.

Anyhow, about 2 months after, Penny's dad dreamt of her grandma wearing a beautiful floral blouse. Penny's dad is also a Taoist cultivator. Her parent asked around the family on whether anyone burn any offering to their grandma. But nobody have burn anything matching the description of what his dad saw in the dream.

Then Penny realized that the blouse description matches exactly one of the blouse which she offered to her grandma, of course her dad have no idea what she burned for her grandma as the offering was done in her own home.

Peter relayed to me last week, that when he burn the offering and request the help of our deities, he did it with 100% trust and faith that they will help him. Faith and trust in Kam Dong San deities have again show the efficacy of all the deities in helping members and disciple.

Is there another world after we move on? I will leave that for you to decide.....
