Hi bro nacht, I went to this temple 师爷宫 in Kajang. why is he called 财神爷 under this altar? I thought he is 大二爷伯

Ok thanks. Wonder if they mis-label or what

Hey everyone! Been a while since I am here. A few weeks ago I went to this one very famous temple in Jakarta. It was completed in 1650 (source), making it the oldest temple in Jakarta at 268 years old (by 2018). It is located in the famous Chinatown of Jakarta, in Glodok. This temple is undergoing renovations right now.

Went there when my parents came and visit me in Jakarta, and their deities are so "complete". When I go there again I'll take photos of all the deities and list them down here. Some that I remember are Guanyin, Sakyamuni Buddha, 财神爷, Bodhidharma, 大二爷伯, 二郎神, 关公 (that they got from China), 弥勒佛, 十八罗汉, 三尊佛祖, 玄天上帝, 妈祖, 花公花婆, 天狗, 土地公, 城隍爷, 慚愧祖師, and also a local deity, Mbah Djugo, who is a pertapa (ascetic) from Gunung Kawi

One of the famous places in this temple is their Guanyin Hall (观音堂), which I know is "很灵" from my friend's parents in Jakarta. Inside the hall is a big Guanyin statue wearing a huge coat, and when you step inside, you can feel yourself shivering. This temple survived the wars and the anti-Chinese riot, and lived to tell the story (there was a fire as recent as 2015).

One thing I want to ask, who is Tua Jee Ah Pek (大二爷伯)? When I ask my parents, my dad was about to answer, then my mom was like, don't say ._.

Anyway, here are some photos from the temple!

Any place to pray to 虎爷公 in KL? I am going back tomorrow, and I feel that my work is not as smooth recently, I wish to pray to 虎爷公.

The Guan Di temple?

Hi Nacht,
In the picture, the medium with green painted face (and holding axes), which deity is he trancing?

Anything that I should prepare? I heard from my mom that I need to prepare some raw pork belly, tofu, and raw egg. Is it true?

Bro Nacht, any idea where can pray 贵人? thanks

Hi,

Just wanna ask why some of the medium is closing they eyes and some is open??
