QUOTE(mars2003 @ Dec 9 2015, 07:14 PM) Hi nacht, I can't say I ever have, although coins (symbols of prosperity/wealth) and dice (symbols of fate, luck and chance) certainly are objects associated with the Black and White Brothers.A quick question, have u ever seen that medium on trance by 大二ah pek vomitting ancient coins? Or dice ? Does it hold any special meaning ? Perhaps they were 'producing' these items as good luck charms to offer deserving devotees. |

not sure if you have heard of "BanYuenChai" or not
http://www.banyuenchai.com/v2/index.php http://www.banyuenchai.com/v2/?page_id=28 I visited him in last year to seek his fortune telling service, he was using a rather unique way, eg first, you will need to write down your chinese name on a piece of paper, then, he will take that piece of paper and started to draw something, after which he will hold your hands, while looking into your eyes, and start telling you things his office has a few buddha statues as well as 关帝 when he start to talk to you about your past and future, his face really looks like 关帝 he is benevolent and stern at the same time, funny thing is he let me record the entire session without issues.

QUOTE(estcin @ Dec 14 2015, 11:30 AM) Two of them, the Buddhas, are master and disciple, as previously noted.The third one, the goddess, is a matron goddess of Cantonese people from a particular region in the old country, like I have mentioned - I believe the temple's founder has ancestry that links back to there, and reverence for her probably runs in his clan for generations, hence her inclusion. She has no links to the other two per se, but it is not uncommon for several unrelated deities to be enshrined on the same altar. |

QUOTE(heLL_bOy @ Dec 15 2015, 06:52 PM) A list of every single Chinese god and goddess would be extremely long - too long to fit here.Ask me about a specific deity and I will provide you with as much information as I can about him or her. |
