The Chinese educated Jade emperor venerator at the Singaporean Kellock road Coffeshop

I am not really interested in following any spefic philosophy and against any quest for any knowledge of the truth and any meaningful purpose to life . This is largely due to the fact that I am a follower of the chinese legalist militant power autocratic school of thought such as sun bin and han fei in which a highly militant power society is all about power and the rule of law and who has the right to hold power . The same is for Emperor Qin shi huang and Li si who is a legalsit and it was his advice and opposition aginast confucionsm and other religions and philsophies that led to the burning of confucious ethics because Confucionism is basically about civil administration and the rule of the ideal benevolent ruler . I am both a devout Song dynasty Jade emperor worshipper as well as very pre-clusive free-thinker charasmatic worshipper of the new creation church pastor Joseph prince prosperity gospel . God to me is merely and only a methaphoric spiritual reference of a higher or greater power beyond the universe . I do not personally and theologically accept and believe in that some kind personal creator of the universe and lovingly heavenly father god of all that exist high in the sky and I only propritate by Divine sovereign grace and will for good luck and health and get to eat something special and exotic to eat so I am not at all seriously spirituially committed myself to following any spiritual values and pathways of discipleship . It all came about one day when I was rushing in town to attend a career expo in the WTC and hurried looked for a place to have my lunch and my father dropped me into the Kellock Road coffeshop where we ate a bowl of teochew minced meat mushroom abalone mee pok. It was totally by chance that I fell into conversation speaking in mandarin with a Chinese educated person who sat with us on the same table and he told me that he was a jade emperor venerator free-thinker . Since this incident , I consequently did my own research into the popularity of Song dynasty jade emperor worshipping cult of Empeor Hui Zhong , the water margin, Qigong astral projections and astral dreaming and whenever I want something special to eat in town , I only need to project all my creative self-visualisation powers to the Jade emperor and will be able to find something special and exotic to eat anywhere and whenever I am in town to satisfy my overally self-assertive power egocentricity . Felix Tsung-Hsien Lim anywhere and whenever I am in town. This is because the Jade Emperor is the official ruler of heaven and responsible for the orderly nature of the cosmos and auspicious energies in line with the vegas star of the east of the solar energies of the sun so I propritate it and only it for everything in life to fall into place for me and only for me alone to satisfy my overly power egocentricity .

The lore of city God worship

City God worship had been observed since Medieval Chinese history when towns and cities and dykes were built. This was more so in the later Song dynasty with development in astral naval shipping , water astronomal clocks and engineering and the agricultural reforms of Minister Wang An shi . Then there is the strange story of Dee gong Ann or strange cases of Famous Tang dynasty Dee gong or Judge dee who sought an oracle from the city God temple . As a Chinese legalist scholar , I know that the city God is one of the Chinese legalist gods besides Guan gong and Shang di the astral great bear for militant power because Chinese legalism is about determining the rule of law and the preveledges of the political elite in power and control . What I love about the city god lore is that the city god as a link to the astral world is has a police jurisdictive and legal authority to watch over the people and report to the Jade emperor by deceiding on rewards and punishment and human welfare and protection of the population. So this necessitates the making and offering of all sorts of scarifical food offerings and exotic festival auspicious pastries to appease the heavens for luck and grace . It is also a very good opportunity to eat some exotic tasty treats . China since its civilisation always had been confronted with problems in relation to power and population control and industrialisation and this problem has only become more exacabated in our post modern times with numerous human rights issues and consumerism on the rise . Singapore is only but a micro minizarise world dominated by a semi-behanine benevolent autocacry of a one party dominated mad rat race society . It was under such prevalent circumstances where our mainland forebears resorted to their own devices of city God worship to voice for some justice and peace and protection from upstairs ! http://chinesetemples.blogspot.com.au/2006/07/23-seng-wong-beo.html Chinese Temples: 23.

Veneration of Leizu in Suzhou folklore in relation to silk and shipping

The thunder god was one of the principle gods worshipped in association with magic where the taosit monks came with gongs and drums to perform its rites and this practise is still going on in Taiwan today. The chinese Lei gong is actually the Indain transplanted Rain god Varapni just as the greeks had Zeus. Nordic myths had Thor all with same features of a demi-god with wings and a hammer . The Chinese minister of Thunder Wen Chung is the agent of Lei zu, wife of the yellow emperor . She was the goddess of horticulture and silk-weaving as she taught the people agriculture, rearing animals and making clothes . Thus in Suzhou, local folklore and religion is the worship of Lei zu relates to shipping and silk textile industries and farming. The thunder queen's thunder commands the changes in weather patterns determines food and supply for shipping and bales of silk transported across the grand canal into Jiang su where the silk textile is regionally produced . This was a custom observed during late Min g and Qing times when by prominent families of Shipping pursers were court purveyors of silk clothings for the imperial royal family. This was illustrated in the dream of the red chamber where Xue Pan was the son of a wealthy imperial court purvoyer of the Illustrious Ning mansion. Lei zu the thunder queen had many children with the Yellow emperor who was the original acclaimed mythical ancester emperor of the chinese race associated with the royal astral equatorial realm . Chang yi was the eldest of many who settled in henan which denotes the settlement of the Chinese civilisation at the Yang zi. This is the evidence that original chinese native religion is thunder worship in association with river dragon empeor worship due to its locomotive settlement at the river deltas. It is not the result of a helio-centric society which contributed to monotheism unlike the Jews and the middle east races which crated the Shang dim lore that came much later post warring states literature .

Of vietnamese Taosit dieties

During the time of our family early migration into Melbourne, Chinese and asian food was scarce and costly . The only available places to eat were the various Vietnamese resturants and Vietnamese chinese supermarkets run by the local communities. One incident was when my fatyher and I ate Vietnamese satay beef kuay tiow and I saw the Vietnamese chinese local owner offer a sacrificial food offering of a bowl of yellow egg noodles or mee pok soup at to his earth god shrine . The Vietnamese and khmers also had their own earth god or god of fertility and fortune known as the om khar . It is an indian figurine wearing a turban and fanning himself laughing . He is prayed to by bakers , confectioners and butchers alike . Another incident occurred humorously when the Nanyang Asian supermarket ran out of the Chinese wife biscuits which I loved due to my sweet tooth and I asked the shop assistance when it will be available . He told me there and then I had to wait for 2 weeks for them to replenish the stock as they were imported by ship so I suggested to them to pray and ask some diety to hasten the shipping delivery! Upon inquring which god would they resort to in supplication, his answer was none other than the river goddess Mahzu or Empress of heaven known amongst the seafaring communities and my interest in Vietnamese taoist dieties and customs developed from then onwards . However, being male, I had no interest in the empress of heaven being a mere river goddess so I did my own research and found out that Shang di or Di Gong which is the male Hokkien seafarers god alongside Dou Mu the astral queen and the nine princes . It was transplanted into Phuket in Thailand and the Vietnamese Mekong delta since the later Ming dynasty by migrants refugees. In Ming dynasty China , Emperor Yong le raised the north pole star-god or beiji gong as the absolute divine ruler during the building of the forbidden city in line with feng shui astrology taosit architecture . On the Vietnamese side , it was the fourth Nugyen Emperor Thu Duc who built the famous memorial garden palace . Emperor Thuc Duc was the last independent emperor to rule Vietnam before French colonial rule was established . http://home.earthlink.net/~vieticons/taoistdeities.html

My true and personal Tua pek gong stories - continued

My true and personal Tua pek gong stories part 2 - In relation to Singapore's shipping history Singapore's shipping history predates to the fouding of the srivijaya empire and the subsequent opening of Malaaca for trading in the fourtheen century which the Asain-paciifc trade route was linked to the Middle east , Burma, Thailand, China, India, Cambodia of the Funan kingdom and Europe. Today, the Singaporean busy ports of Tuas, Jurong , Clifford pier and the boat quay areas of Singapore's early trade and migration history of the many migrats from Tamil india, Celyon, the Malabar eas coast , Fukien china , Malay, Indonesain Boyanese and Arab settlers still abound from the Kallng river basin all to way to the upper east coast of Cahngni, Luuo yang, Siglap , Ktong and Marine parade . It was in Jalan Kayu an the Merchant road , shoert street and the Coller quay and Clarke Quay areas to the south bride road to Tanjong pagar that early shipping activity and assocations at one time were prolific. These were the places of sailors, flag makers , Indainand Muslim rope and rattan flander makers . Jalan Kayu once had a local boat builders association which consist of the local Hokkien , Teochew, Hainamese and Hakkas boat builders . Besides constructing boats made out of wood and fiber glass, the Hokkien seafarers by local custom propritated several Chinese astral gods of the Helio-centric Kuiper belt which is the a perceived gigantic cosmic celestial abode and galaxtic house in connection to the sea and shipping for sea passage safety , journey mercies , good fortune and good business ventures and retrun of exports and imports. Tua Pek gong as a local business god and shipping and sea passage is venerated every 7th month and fervently prayed to in line with the legend described above . This custom later spreaded to other business Chinese professions of craftsmen, shirne -makers, furniture and artisians by Hakkas , Hokkiens and Teochew confectioners alike . other gods venerated are : 1.Shang di or the ursa major star-dipper of the sailors who is also the husband father-star of tou mu , the astral mother and the nine princes . The nine emperor princes festival is still celebrated amongst the Peranakn old Nonyas and teochews in hou gang from the time of the Simgaporean Teochew Gambier kings 2. Mah zu or tian hou or the Chinese river goddess . It is more popularly venerated by the Hainamese for sea safety with paper boats and fire crackers following a local story of how she saved the locals from a storm at sea in Meizhou 3. The Goddess of mercy of the southern seas and the monkey god . oth have the powers to quell the ocean Today, the Singaporean boat building community has been re-located to Jurong and Tuas . ============================================================================================ Felix Tsung-Hsien Lim23 September 2013 08:16 Part 3 - In relation to Food and wealth Being Chinese Singaporean by birth, I observed from my childhood that the local Hokkiens and teochew communities would raise a local shrine to venerate Tua pek gong whenever they opened a business shop to sell food and groceries. The Teochews confectioners are especially good at it and that was something I picked up whenever mother did her usual shopping in toing ahru market stalls where the hawkers made and sold her white gluey watering Song kuei filled with khoo chye or chives or shredded turnips. With my several recollections and encounters at the Singaporean local eateries , Consequently, Tua Poek Gong became very inspirational to my personal interest for Teochew food and money whenever I missed the local exotic snacks and treats from back home having been a sojourner in Australia for exceedingly 20 years. ========================================================================================================= Felix Tsung-Hsien Lim23 September 2013 08:32 Part 4 - Why my Parental Grandmother hates Christianity and despised my third Uncle Eng bitterly This is a true story that my parental grandmother or my father's mother told me . Third Unlce Eng is the husband of my third aunt Lina and sister of my father . Both of them are devoutly Christian and send us to Sunday school without fail every Sunfay morning . I was never going to know that a strange interlude would come about one day that I wuld tke a very strong interest in Chinese folk religions though I am not suppose to while growing up as a Christain. This is how it happened : My grandmother told me this true story one day that during the time when my uncle Eng went to New Zealand to study abroad, he brought with him a tablet to Tua Pek gong and fervently prayed to it daily I the hope that the would succeed in his exams but failed . Later, he was introduced by friends to a local church and was led by the pastor of the church to Christ and disposed of his Tua Pek gong tablet . Then he started to attend church but he still failed his exams . That was how she came to hate christainity and Christian missionaries since then and why she hated and depised my Uncle Eng bitterly. It was my grandmother's hatred of christain missionaries and my reading of the menace of christain missionaries that fulled ny hatred against any form of religious evangelism, faith conversions and the great commission that led me to the anti-evangelical doctrines of the extreme froms of Calvinism much later in Australia . ========================================================================================================= Felix Tsung-Hsien Lim23 September 2013 08:43 part 5 - the lost passport and the Tua Pek gong dream Being an Australian migrant, I still hold on to my Singaporean citizenship kept away in a cupboard . A week before the time I was to return home to Singapore , I discovered that my passpoert was misplaced and become very frantic , pacing up and down in anxiety and perplexity as to how and why it was not there and informed my mother . Then I went up to my bedroom to try to relax and calm myself down and sat in qigong meditation and praying to the lord Jesus above for any from of divine intervention . There and then , I saw I a vision of my passport at the foot of Tau Pek gong being a local household god and the lord Jesus spke to me that I would find the missing passport. I became very calm instantly and just as I finished my astral qigong dream experience, my mother announced she found it misplaced in another cupboard that she kept it way for safe keeping and forgot about it . Still this day, I am puzzled as to why it worked that my way but it worked any way and took a strong local interest in the Tau Pek gong dream phenomena ====================================================================== part 6 - From Rebecca Chung's Phoniex Part - From Rebecca Chung's Phoniex Phoniex and other stories is one of the local writing by Rebecca Chung . It was about a brothel girl Phoniex who was a Tue Pek gong devotee . She joined the many faithful who would make their prilgrimage to Kusu island where the local devotees would obtain an amulet from the temple to the diety with their supplications. The prayer amulets are then hung on a tree and when they get answered, the devotee returns with offerings and sacrificial food offerings of thanksgiving and takes back the amulet. All asaparing caberet girls do hope to meet with a regular patron who would redeem them from their abject doldrums and Phoniex was like-wise but to the shock and amazement of all, it was Ah send the Fried Kway tiow Hawker who supplied their regular daily lunch who made his move ! So Phoniex married Ah Seng and had a daughter by him .She moved on with her life renting out a flat in Lavender street frying Kuay Tiow and devoted all her energies to educate her daughter to give her a better life.
