Hi, thanks for being awesome. You should really write a book for all us banana interested in this. Go find Asiapac publisher.


I have a few questions:
QUOTE(nachtsider @ Nov 20 2015, 12:43 PM)
Who do you approach when your house has been burgled - the local constables, or the Inspector General of Police?
*
If this is the case, wouldn't it be more awesome if we able to approach IGP? They have more power and resource, and they can settle your things faster.

IE: Might as well I just worship Jade Emperor. All he can settle for me. No need so hard to find who is specific for which problem.



2nd Question:
Does anyone worship Sun Wukong? What does he preside over? Is he really so powerful that Jade Emperor also cannot subdue him?

3rd Question:
Does anyone worship Piggy? If so, for what purpose?

Please don't angry... I just really really curious.....

2. The Monkey King is very widely worshiped. He is a warrior and Dharma protector who can be called on to dispel evil spirits. Also, he is a master of guan xi - the art of interpersonal relationships and diplomacy, as evidenced by his always knowing whom to approach whenever he required help with solving a problem that was beyond his scope or ability. It would not be unreasonable to approach him if you are having trouble with workplace politics.

Regarding him being powerful, most of the difficulties that the Heavenly armies encountered when they battled him back in the day stemmed from the fact that they had absolutely no idea what they were dealing with - at the time, they had yet to battle an foe of his type. He is tough, but not unbeatable. For instance, Lord Er Lang adapted very quickly to the Monkey King's tactics and was able to fight him to a draw. A rematch between the two of them might very well result in a tipped scale.

I thought Sun Wukong very very powerful. I thought nobody can fuck wit him. He da boss. 大鬧天宮 is not an easy feat!



I have a question about suicide in Sintuaism.

If someone commit suicide, what is the sin calculation? Debit or credit?
If it is a bad sin to suicide, why Xie Bi'an and Zhong Kui can suicide and be an official in hell?

Can I be an official in heaven or hell too? Can I be deified?

What are some modern deities? I heard John Rabe is one such example for his actions in WW2.

Another question. If a ghost harmed me and I die, can I take revenge?

For example, the ghost in Ju-On movie is a very unreasonable one. If I were to encounter a ghost like that, and she killed me. When I die and become a ghost, can I exert revenge against her ?
For example rape and kill her and hang her ghost head for all other evil ghost to see so that they will know what comes to them if they fuck wit mortal beings?

Then I become like Punisher, lawful neutral. Ghost bounty hunter vigilante and kill all evil ghost but at the same time, avoiding hell official from catching me.

Is this possible?
I am not joking, I entertain these kind of thought when I read about Chinese religion. I cannot find someone else to answer my question seriously.

The Monkey King was being prayed to LONG before Wu Cheng En wrote Journey to the West. wink.gif

You meant Hanuman? Can you do a write up on Sun Wukong and Piggy? Can help clear up our misunderstanding of them all this time due to TVB Drama.

Where does Sakyamuni(Buddha) comes into play in Sintua? What is Buddha's position? Are there any Sakyamuni mediums?

Since 天篷元帥 is one of the 9 emperor, where does piggy come from if he is not 天篷元帥?

When you had a chat with Tua Li Ya Pek, did you ask him what Sun Wukong did in hell? Did he mess up hell during his wild days?

Nachtsider,

I just saw another thread talk about third eye. They saw ghost roaming around. Those are the one that hell police are trying to catch?

Also, do you have a starter pack for ghost hunter vigilantism/bounty hunter?

For example, third eye(to see ghost), the cobra whip, the wooden sword, bagua, talisman and amulet?

I know I sound really sohai asking all this question but I am serious, these are the questions I have been asking myself since I was child.

how is the sintua, buddhism, taoism, and even the japanese shinto mingling with each other? i mean not the believers themselves, but rather at the belief's level

as they have tremendous area of overlapping in these few faiths, albeit with slightly different interpretations regarding certain areas

Yaya Nachtsider, can you answer this?

How does Islam faith come into this equation?

In Islam they have this evil being called "jin". What are they classified as in Sintua?

If ghost(inluding hell deity) come kacau me, and I use Surah, will it work?

Nachtsider, can help ask Tua Li Ya Pek, does the phrase Amitabha really work?

In Buddhism, uttering this phrase can help end suffering for poor souls and bring them to the "Pure Land" and study Buddhism with Amitabha Buddha.

If the people with third eye are correct, a lot of souls in agony are around us.

So theoretically, if I utter Amitabha 24/7 with sincerity for these suffering souls, will I be salvaging a lot of souls? Does it really work?

If not, in Sintuaism what can I help to alleviate the suffering of those wandering soul?

Basically ease pain can la. To born in pure land? Wont happen. Pure land need clean heart even got good karma is not enough. Being able to let go then you can start a new.

You ask ghost police? They will just catch either sentence or send to a better place or high place.

But but from wikipedia...:
QUOTE
In the versions of the sutra widely known in China, Vietnam, Korea and Japan, Dharmakāra's eighteenth vow was that any being in any universe desiring to be born into Amitābha's Pure Land and calling upon his name even as few as ten times will be guaranteed rebirth there.
Does it really help?

Join Christian and your sin will be forgiven and once you die you will go to heaven.

If you die for allah you get to have 36 virgin waiting on top for you.

You believe this?

Haiya, in this thread, we assume Sintuaism is real, and we ask Nachtsider how does other things in the world fit in Sintuaism.

So now I curious how does Buddhism integrates with Sintuaism in terms of the phrase, Amitabha.

Is Sintuaism still prevalent in China? I asked some Chinese mainlanders and it seems to me that they are blur about this practice. Is it because of Cultural Revolution?

What was Sintuaism like in Imperial China? Does it receive patronage just like Buddhism did? Or was it confined to Fujian province only?
