thanks...didn't know many what happened backend to the show...i don't read much Chinese so not many channels to read about Chinese gossip world..

currently is there any other similar show being broadcast?

In the past I actually watch on youtube....that depends if there are kind people to upload it....any other way to watch?

Is it on youtube? How can we watch it?

Alright already. Let's not turn this into a Guai Tan discussion thread.

It was happened last year so since i saw this thread, try to ask maybe can give clearer picture/knowledge?
The master did explain same to your point no.1, hence the sword thing. Then never dare to go the temple again.
We did ask our friend nearby in Setapak about the temple, is a long established temple and the people there are very helpful, patiently explain and make things right .

I was thinking that time maybe my friend pray the wrong way? Because 1st time. Pray too many deities? or maybe people curse black magic?

Sorry to infiltrate your thread ask this thing.

Another possibility worth considering is that this 'master' is not as reputable as your friend thinks he is.

Those who associate with disreputable people can often suffer ill effects if they encounter a righteous deity.

But all this is speculation, really.

The Four Heavenly Kings, They are the protector of four Dvipa.

Collectively, they are the members of 二十诸天 The Twenty Protector God of Dharma.

多闻天王 Vaisravana, aka "he who hears everything"
He is the chief of Four Kings, the protector of North and Ruler of Rain. Holds either umbrella or pagoda in his right hand, and sometimes, he is depicted with a mouse in his left hands. He is mostly found in greenish skin with thick armour. He is also the God of Wealth in Ancient Indian Culture.

广目天王 Virudhaka, aka "he who causes to grow"
He is the protector of the south. He is the ruler of the wind. His symbolic weapon is the sword which he carries in his right hand to protect Dharma. Often depicts in Blueish skin tone with thick armour.

持国天王 Dhrtarastra, aka "he who upholds the realm"
He is the protector the east and God of music. His symbolic weapon is the Pipa琵琶 (a Chinese stringed instrument). He is often associates with Harmonious and often depicts as a protector. Pale/white skin tone.

增长天王 Virupaksa, aka "he who sees all"
He is the protector the west. He often depicts with a snake/red cord/dragon over his right hand, and a large pearl in the left hand. He has a Red Skin tone. He is often associates with obedience.


Colloquially, there is a Chinese idioms 风调雨顺 (Literally Good smooth weather), which often being related to the Four Kings:
风 : Virudhaka
调 : Dhrtarastra
雨 : Vaisravana
顺 : Virupaksa

Well, it looks like Junjun's beaten me to the punch, lol.

I'll just add that they are not Door Gods, and that their items have magic powers.

Vaisravana's umbrella is a trapping device akin to the ghost trap from Ghostbusters, sucking evil beings into its depths when opened - it can also instigate storms and earthquakes.

Virudhaka's sword is capable of multiplying into a virtual typhoon of flying blades that he can fully control.

The music from Dhrtarastra's pipa has a mind control effect.

Virupaksa's pearl permits him control of the many magical beasts he rears as pets, which include his serpent (which can transform into a magic whip, much like Lord Zhang's cobra) plus a creature often referred to as a flying elephant that he uses as a mount, but seems more gryphon-like in some accounts.

so actually they are CHinese Gods or Indian?

They have Hindu-Buddhist roots.

This applies to quite a number of Chinese gods, actually.

if i'm not wrong...Four Face Buddha is one of them right?

The 'Four-Faced Buddha' is in fact not a Buddha at all, but the Hindu god Brahma given a Thai interpretation.

Nacht, more post!

Who is Ji Gong?

Li Xiu Yuan/李修元 was born with a silver spoon in his mouth during the Southern Song Dynasty, the only son of a prominent statesman. Seemingly destined for a life of luxury, all that changed when his parents were killed in a terrible fire that also destroyed the family homestead and fortune. The kindly abbot of a nearby monastery took the tragically orphaned boy under his wing and cared for him. Xiu Yuan eventually took his monk's vows under the abbot's tutelage.

Maybe it was the traumatic experience of seeing his parents die that left him mentally unbalanced. Maybe it was something else. But the fact is that Xiu Yuan was prone to wildly eccentric behaviour, which included eating meat and drinking wine, telling raucous jokes, meditating while doing headstands, loudly singing nonsensical songs, neglecting his personal hygiene, playing pranks on the other monks and so on. The monastery's occupants could not stand him; it was only thanks to the abbot's influence that he was allowed to stay at the monastery. Perhaps the abbot saw potential hidden beneath the madness, as we shall see, for despite his behaviour, even Xiu Yuan's disgruntled fellow monks were begrudgingly unable to deny that he had an immensely kind heart and was always willing to help those in need, especially the wronged and downtrodden.

Things came to a head when the abbot died; his replacement was not as tolerant and expelled Xiu Yuan from the monastery. Out into the world he ventured, owning nothing but the tattered monk's outfit on his back. Wandering from village to village and town to town, Xiu Yuan more than managed to survive - it was during his travels that he discovered his ability to work miracles, particularly healing the sick, and he received ample support from the numerous people who owed him their lives. Xiu Yuan became known as Ji Gong/济公, 'Our Lord Who Aids and Relieves', as well as Huo Fo/活佛, 'Living Buddha'. His outwardly fatuous exterior belying his considerable street-smarts and cunning, Ji Gong often comes up with simple yet insightful solutions to problems of all kinds, and has overcome many an evil threat through his use of trickery.

Folk religion subscribes to them, too. But not as commonly as Buddhism does.


I already spoke about the Door Gods here:

U MAD BRO?


Sorry, joking. I'm just free.

Who are Shan Cai and Yu Nu?

Guan Yin is often shown accompanied by two children, a boy and a girl. These are her faithful attendants/disciples, Shan Cai/善才 (Sudhana in Sanskrit) and Yu Nu/玉女, the Jade Maiden (sometimes also known as Long Nu/龙女 or Dragon Maiden). They are as congenial and loving as brother and sister, despite hailing from very different backgrounds, and regard Guan Yin not merely as their teacher, but almost as a mother, too.



Shan Cai was a crippled young lad from India who became one of the very first Buddhists. Despite being lame in one leg, he travelled single-handedly, over land and sea, from India to the east, where Guan Yin resided, in order to learn the Dharma from her. Guan Yin, touched by his dedication, healed his disability and appointed him as her pageboy.

Shan Cai is often depicted in a 'standing-on-one-leg' pose. This is a reference to his penchant for performing sacred dances, and his former disability.





Yu Nu/Long Nu is not human, contrary to outward appearances. She is in fact a dragon, as her name suggests - the daughter of the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea, who, after witnessing Guan Yin rescue a shoal of sea creatures (her and her father's subjects) that were beached after a storm, was so touched and impressed by by Guan Yin's compassion, that she pleaded with her father for permission to take Buddhist vows and become Guan Yin's disciple. The Dragon King gave her his blessing, and Yu Nu now serves as Guan Yin's handmaiden.
