Anyone can advise me what does this joss paper praying for?

Can someone advise where can I find the "tua ya pek" in klang valley? As my mum seems unable to recover from the constant fears and panic that been affecting her for weeks despite seeking specialist and consuming types of medicines. I heard tua ya pek can ward off spirits if this is the reason for my mum illness.

Please enlightened, thanks.

Hello klang.boy,

1. In the old days, 后面公 ('ao ber gong') in Hokkien parlance used to be a nickname for the Kitchen God, given that the kitchen was usually located at the rear of the home. These days, however, it has become an euphemism for random ghosts and wandering spirits that are offered appasement in exchange for them not bothering the appeaser. Try and find out which it was that your grandmother prayed to.

2. The correct way to dispose of unused statues and other religious paraphernalia is to ritually burn them (not something that a layperson can perform unaided). Alternatively, there are temples that 'adopt' said items. Contact your local temple to see if they provide disposal or adoption services.

3. If you are the godchild of a deity, it means that the deity has considered you as requiring his or her protection and TLC. It would be instructive to find out why. Perhaps you were sickly as a youngster, or bothered by evil spirits. The period of protection usually ends when the deity feels that their ward is capable of fending for themselves, although the bond is of course not wholly severed. A godchild is usually expected to observe their godparent's special days, taboos and other related customs. For your information, Guan Yin devotees are actually NOT expected to refrain from eating beef. This taboo is only promoted by a small subset of Guan Yin worshippers and totally pooh poohed by others.

So glad to see a fellow Klang resident here. I divide my time between Bandar Baru and Bukit Kuda. Do you attend a particular temple or sintua?

"King of Ghosts" is mentioned several times here in English.

What is the Hokkien equivalent?

And what is the Cantonese equivalent?
