i was once told that praying to Jade Emperor is somewhat like praying to the biggest God and applicable for very severe case, not sure if it is true though, must get Nacht to confirm

...hmmm.. partly true. Its just like the saying "praying to buddha equals to pray to all deities as all is one and one is all". However, even all deities are "same" as they goes back to one "root" or "begining/end/source" (whatever you wish to call it), and they are just different "manifestation" of "path of enlightenment/buddha" (depends on which angle you want to see), please be reminded that each person has affinity to "some" (or just one) deity.

hmm.. lets put it this way as a form of analogy and i am not really trying to degrade any deities ah. This example is only for illustration purposes. Say you have a company and you want to pass a message to the CEO of the company (assume he Jade Emperor). You can say "just pass him the memo" and its the same as passing it to everybody else in the management. Technically true right? The problem is, is it possible for anybody to just walk into the CEO office and says "nah.. this memo is for you.. read it when you are free".. Chances are the memo would be ignored BUT... some people can actually achieve that feat. Ie, that person have affinity to the CEO. Very very rare but there are such ppl. Most people cant reach that level but they might have affinity to different levels of management. Maybe Guy A have affinity to the Managing director whom he can seek to pass the memo to the CEO, Guy B might have affinity to the HR manager whom he can seek. Guy C might have affinity to the Department Manager and so on and so forth.

To cut the msg short as I talk too much de, these different "levels of management", ie, representing different deities at different "manifestations" to tackle certain values of our lives are important than we aim straight to the top. I am not saying that deities are below or above or less or more powerful and so on. They are equal and same as they are here to help us "remove/settle" our hindrances to enlightenment. To reach enlightenment we need to rid our human unpure qualities and base on your karma and previous actions, we will have certain defilement and different affinity towards certain deities. And since we are "closer" or have more affinity to certain deities, we can "communicate" with them "easier".. ie.. same wavelength if you wanna put it that way. That way we can remove the "hindrances" faster. This also applies to "communicating" with higher beings and getting our message/wishes (or whatever you wanna do) across to the higher realms easier through deities we can communicate with easier...

did i go into too much details? lol.. sorry =.=" but its important to understand than a bit here and there. Natch... i correct or not? tongue.gif

the reason for my question is a bit lengthly, but here it goes ...I have a relative whose son is a muslim convert and not a very religious muslim but i am not to judge, and mother being mother , naturally as a traditional chinese, she ask one of her trusted sifu how toi improve his luck and health, since he is sick since young and on medication and very easily get bullied, cheated, etc. She also openly ask the sifu, as a muslim which deity he can pray to that does not contradict his islamic teaching, jade emperor was suggested but not explained why HIM, the sifu even elaborated no need for any ritual, just pray toward the sky....hence my questions
1. is it true that it does not contradict in this case muslim?
2. can someone just pray to the jade emperor?

Thanks for all the answers.

Above all, I am seeking to know what is and what is not. Relating to these personal and close one's experiences, I hope I can validate what I know and clarify what I have doubt in. Thanks again.

I would advise your relative to get input from an electrician to prevent further electrical fires. The source of the explosion is clearly the right-hand electric candle.
