He is one of the Five Directional Gods of Wealth.

None of the Five Lords of Pestilence has the surname Zhao.

Hi, may I know the difference between Tudi Gong vs Dizhu Gong? (Sorry if wrongly spelt)

Tq

Di Zhu Gong is a very minor earth deity, usually assigned to an individual homestead on an individual plot of land.

Tu Di Gong ranks higher; he can be in charge of several estates or tracts of soil.

Thanks, nachtsider.

Hi , Do you know where we can buy the 10 Courts of Hell Canvas pr Cloth Banner ? Thanks.

Hi,

I recently went to a SINTUA in Tampines and was amazed. The medium was an Indian and he got tranced to Toh Ya Pek and also Li Ah Pek.

He gave me a 4D and I strike 1st prize.

I was also walking past the prayers place and decided to see the medium and got a lottery number. I heard they trance here on every 15 of the chinese month.

Anyone heard about this place before?

The best is if you get them professionally printed. That's what I did with mine.

You can go here to find the designs:

Lotto numbers should not be used as a sign of a deity's efficacy, nor should they be the reason why you go and attend sintuas.

Happy New Year, everybody!

Scenes from the advent of the 9th day of the first lunar month - Tua Li Ya Pek, Hell creatures thought they may be, pay respects to the Heavenly Emperor, as all good Hokkiens do.

Hi,

First time posting here. I have spent last few days to read up all the posts here from page 1 till the end. It is really a good read and full of information.

Thanks to @nachtsider and other contributors.

I would like to ask a few questions. I believe these questions has not been asked yet but in any case if I missed it please refer me to correct post.

1. My family practise, what now I know as Sintua, but I want to know when my late relatives passed away, there was a "ceremony" lead by a priest. The priest usually has 3 sets of robes, namely red, yellow and black and the chanting is done 4 times every night (One time with red, one time with yellow and twice with black) until the day of burial or cremation. The priest usually chant and carrying handheld bell. During chanting/praying every night, the praying was accompanied by 2 musician with traditional musical instruments. Is this Sintua practise? From what I read here, Sintua does not has priest? Or is it Taoist?

2. Can you share more information like background/history/legend of and how to pray and why people pray to General Horse 马将军?

3. Does all Sintua medium must go in trance to connect to the deity? Is the medium that "communicate" but not go in trance legit?

4. I am in Singapore. Can recommend Hell Theme Sintua?

More questions will come when I think of it. Actually when I start reading I have lots of questions but most of them has been answered in the previous post. Huahaha....

My family has a long believe in Sintua but for me I am just a recent believer and now I pray to mainly Tua Pek Kong, Tua Ji Ya Pek and Cundhi Guanyin / 準提观音

Hello Ric, and thank you for your readership. Here are my answers to your questions:

1. That fellow was a Taoist priest. Sintua does not have priests; it only has mediums.

2. '马将军' is a vague term. Are you referring to the Five Celestial Steeds used as mounts by the Five Camp Commanders?

3. Someone who communicates with a deity without going into trance can be legit, certainly, but those are very rare.

4. The Ci Shui Gong at No 2, Yishun Industrial Street 1, Singapore 768159 is a trustworthy organisation and a good place to start.

Scenes from the Johor Baru Old Temple Chingay:

Hi Nacht,

Thanks for the reply.

It means my family practice all Buddhist, Taoist and Sintua. Huahaha..... My mom herself go to Mahayana Buddhist Temple regularly for the chanting session. But pray to various god and goddess in Sintua and we always has the priest during family or relative funeral.

Regarding the '马将军' I am not sure myself. Back in Indonesia, it comes as a pair (See attached photos). One general holding a horse and his partner is a general who hold the war flag. In Singapore, Seng Wong Beo (http://www.beokeng.com/disptemple.php?temple=seng-wong-beo) has this deity too but it was a horse itself without any general and located in the same altar as Tiger God and the Heavenly Dog.

Thanks for the recommendation for the Temple. Will go and have a look when I have time.

This is too cute!

Hi guys, do any of you guys know Er Lang Shen’s temple (二郎神) around Klang Valley?

There is one near Eng Ann in Klang, but I'm not overly familiar with them.

It's Ji Gong's birthday today.

Here, Li Ya Pek bids him many happy returns.

Hi Nachtsider,

Yesterday i went to tua li ya pek temple,
I was told that i was a tua li ya pek god son 'khai chai'. I have faith with tua li ya pek.
He ask me to look for the tua li yak pek in klang.
Do you have any idea about this?? I was confused. How to look for tua li ya pek in klang??

There are a number of Tua Li Ya Pek temples and sintuas in Klang.

One such place is the Qi Yu Dian, which I have touted earlier in the thread.
