Worship Tai Sui and Xie Tai Sui

Xie taisui

Xie Tai-sui, as the name implies, is to thank Tai-sui God for his protection during this year. Of course, the premise is that you participated in worshipping Tai Sui and changing Tai Sui last year.

In the belief of Taoism, every year there is a rotating Tai Sui Xing Jun, who is in charge of all aspects of the world all year round. According to the human zodiac, there will be conflicts such as value, punishment, breaking, rushing and hurting, which is what we often call conflict.

When people commit suicide, they usually encounter some inexplicable things about right and wrong, and even have problems in health and career. After worshipping Tai Zi, we practice good deeds with good intentions. We can spend this year safely and smoothly, which is inseparable from the blessing of the gods. Xie Tai-sui is just to thank Xing Jun, who serves Tai-sui, and Xing Jun, the core monument of life, for their good deeds this year. Therefore, Xie Tai-sui is not only a practice, but also a belief and a courtesy.

Xie Tai-sui and our worship of Tai-sui in the Spring Festival are an inheritance relationship, some of which are similar to our vows and vows before the gods. But it is different from wishing, it is more of a gratitude ceremony with gratitude.

Heaven has no relatives, and always cooperates with good people. The good people mentioned here refer not only to good people, but also to people who do not violate the Tao and behave harmoniously. Although one's fate and good fortune are borne by oneself and the afterlife, gods are often sympathetic and judge people by law. When we make a wish to pray for the protection of the gods, the gods will conduct textual research according to the accumulation of personal blessings, and finally judge the rewards and punishments. If we are kind and upright, firmly believe in the road and accumulate more good deeds, this is exactly what the Taoist scriptures call "good people." With the passage of time, we can naturally realize our wishes with the judgment and blessing of the gods.

When our wish came true, we came to the gods again and thanked them for strengthening our hearts and enabling us to achieve our goal. This process is an oath. We should also understand that wishing is not necessarily limited to material aspects. For example, to help the public as much as possible in the future is to be a good person and be kind to others.

Let's go back to Xie Tai-sui, and worship Tai-sui is like hoping to protect Tai-sui Xing Jun and Tai-sui Xing-jun, the core monument of life. Xie Tai-sui also thanked the gods when he made a wish. This is not only a way of communication between man and god, but also a solemn commitment.

How to thank Tai Sui?

1. For believers who helped deal with Tai Sui in previous years, you can fold up the ingots mailed at that time and find a clean place to burn them together with the Tai Sui symbol. Qualified believers had better find a Taoist temple in the local area to worship General Mi Lu in the year of Gengzi. If there is no Chen Yuan Temple in the Taoist temple you go to, that is to say, there is no sacrifice to the 60-year-old god, you can thank Yuan Jun to express your gratitude, and burn the gold ingot and the symbol of Tai Sui at the same time. The time is in the year of boxer, or at the end of the year.

In the past, believers in our place could send us Tai Sui symbols by mail.

Pray for old age

Tai sui god was first worshipped by Taoism, and later gradually became a folk belief. In the Taoist tradition, there are sixty Tai Zi gods, namely sixty Jia Zi gods, also known as old gods. Old gods rotates every year and changes every year.

According to legend, they check the good and evil in the world and take charge of the good and bad luck in the world for a year. In order to seek peace, people all over the world have gradually formed the custom of worshipping, thanking and breaking the old year at the turn of the new year.

In short, I hope that through this form, the New Year will be happy and everything will be auspicious.
