The In Between Realm (浅谈阴阳界)

When a soul passes through the River of No Return, it is said to be in the Realm of

Underworld. Hence, it is said to be 'dead' . However, If it manages to return before

passing through the river, then the person will survive and continue to live for another

day.

One year before my late pa passed away, he was suffering from cancer. I used to pray

for his well beings then. One day he suddenly told me that he had a strange dream. In

that dream, he was forcefully being dragged out from our house by two men in black.

In the midst of pushing and pulling, they came to a stream. There is a very narrow

wooden bridge that can only let one person pass through at one time. So, the man in

black who led the way walked first, my pa was in between and the second man in

black was at pa’s back. While they were in the middle of the bridge, the bridge

suddenly collapsed and all of them fell into the river. My pa finally found his way back

home.

Treat me a cup of tea!

I think the stream my pa was about to pass through was known as the ‘river of no

return’ (冥河), and that wooden bridge is known as the ‘bridge of no return’.

According to Chinese belief, when a person dies, his soul will travel out of his body

and continue to walk straight until he reaches the bridge of no return. If the soul

passes through the bridge; then it will reach the realm of underworld. However, if the

soul managed to return, then the person will recover and live for a period of time. This

bridge is what is called the ‘realm of in between’.

Folks believe, dead souls will live freely in the realm of in between. Before passing the

bridge, the soul suffers considerably. However, once the soul gone into the

underworld, the suffering will be gone. This is because a dead soul is a fragile body; it

fears sunlight, rain, wind and also the thunder.

These dead souls will remain in the underworld until it is time for them to be reborn

again.

There is a saying that goes:

“Once reborn, no one wants to die; after death, no one wants to be reborn.”

The saying refers to the situation when a person dies, he will suffer tremendously. It is

conversely true that when a ghost in the underworld wanted to be reborn, it also

suffers tremendously too.

In the ritual that leads to underworld travels, the human relatives can only wait at the

edge of in between to wait for the deceased love ones to come and meet them. It is

said that anyone who pass through the bridge of no return will not be able to come be

to human realm.

The Underworld Life (阴间的生活)

If you say that it is too much to talk about life in underworld; as we are still ignorant of

our present life and that there are many things to explore. Ha! Don’t worry, it is not

usual that everyone will attain enlightenment this life; we probably will end up in the

underworld anyway. By the way, have you heard of ‘underworld journey’ (观落阴)?

Well, when the time comes, I will bring everyone to journey ‘down under’.

Basically Taoists believe the underworld life styles are similar to our present life style:

the township, houses even up to the extent of the facial features and the way of

speaking are the same. What makes the difference is that the ghostly bodies are

formed by ‘chi’ (气) and they are not solid as we human. That also explains why

ghosts can transform their shapes and features.

In the underworld, when ghosts sleep; their shape will disperse; and when they

awake, their shape will gradually formed. Ghosts consume by smelling and hence

gaseous substances are their best foods. If we offer them cold dish, then they will not

be able to consume the dish. The bodies of ghosts are very fragile unlike the human

counterparts; they will disintegrate in breeze and under the sunlight as well.

It is believed that ghosts’ food, house, utensils etc. are transformed by ‘chi’. Perhaps

by burning joss papers, paper car and houses, our ghostly relatives can indeed

benefit from our deeds? Maybe what has been depicted in Chinese ghost stories that

some fortunate or unfortunate folks unwarily ventured into ghostly realms and visited

beautiful mansions, but the place transformed into graveyards on daybreaks are

founded after all.

I was told that the ghosts that dwell in the underworld seldom return to our world;

those spirits that roam in our human world are earthbound and they have no way of

go into underworld. Old folks believe that it is during the 7th month of Lunar Calendar

that the underworld folks are permitted to come to surface as if our humanly holiday

season.

Whatever case that may be, we will need plenty of ‘money’ in the underworld as with

our humanly world. There is a saying that goes: ‘money is everything!’ That also

explains why a Taoist will need to burn a large quantity of hell money during the

journey to underworld ritual.

Are you still curious about underworld? Why not follow me to travel underworld once?

If we burn a mansion for us now, when we kick our buckets; there is no fear of house

price hike in the underworld. Do you believe it or not? Hahaha…

Inducing Taoist Yin Spirit (出阴神)

The Indian ‘Shadow Man’ or the Taoist’s ‘Original Soul’ may not be anyone’s cup of

tea. So as an alternative, Taoist has another method to offer which is pretty similar to

the former two methods.

This alternative is known as ‘Yin Spirit’; which is the opposite side of ‘Yang Spirit’.

Well, honestly it is pretty difficult to accomplish the Yang Spirit too as one must have

pretty solid foundation in Taoist meditation though not necessary at an advance level;

at least he/she must accomplish the automatic circulation of chi minor circle and

achieving the pure yang body.

Now, Taoist has a method to induce the release of our Yin Spirit by using a mirror.

First, we must find ourselves a large mirror which must be able to reflect our whole

body.

When everything is ready, we should stand before the mirror and dim the light around

us. After adjusting our breathing, we can now concentrate on the reflection in the

mirror. When our vision is starting to blur, we shall turn our attention onto the surface

of the wall in front of us. At this point, the residue impression will still linger in our sight

for a few seconds or so.

With some consistent practice, we will be able to see our other selves in front of us.

The basic principle behind Taoist Yin Spirit is actually similar to the Western out of

body (OOB) exercise.

The production of Yin Spirit is not encouraged in standard Taoist practice because

there are many problems with this method. For example, there are just too many

examples that the Yin Spirits fail to return to their own bodies. Problems will also occur

when our mental states are not stable or our health conditions are not good. Having

said so, reading about is still okay; whatever you do, please don’t do it alone for your

own good!

Taoist Chaya Purusha (元神)

It would probably not an over statement that Taoist rituals are 50% Hindu rituals. For

example: Taoists worships Brahma (梵天), Kali (玄女), Yama (阎罗) and Marichi (斗母)

just to name a few. Even to the extent that in Taoist magical practices, there is a

parallel form of tantric ‘Chaya Purusha’!

I am not going to explore the Hindu Chaya Purusha in detail, but to run across the

Taoist Chaya Purusha for the sake of comparisons:

In Taoist magic, Chaya Purusha is known as one’s ‘original soul’ (元神) and there is a

set of quite extensive practice to activate our original soul by stages:

The first stage is ‘training soul’ (炼神). This is the first step awakens the soul, the

practice is somehow similar to the posting “know your fate, know yourself”.

Logically we should be able to physically ‘see’ our original soul. So, the second step is

same as the Hindu Chaya Purusha; i.e. we must choose a sunny but cloudless

morning at around 10am or so. After that, we should stand against the sun and stare

at our shadows until our eyes are tired. When we feel a sensation in our heart, we

should immediately look into the sky in front of us. With some practise, one huge

shadow will appear in front of us and that will be our original souls.

When our original souls appear, we should inspect if there is anything wrong with our

soul; especially if there is any black spots or black parts. Black always means mishaps

as usual.

If there are problems, we will need to use the avoiding methods (消灾避死). One most

popular is offering oil lamps to the Northern Stars System (北斗) and walk the

previously mentioned star steps (步罡). The rituals must be carried out until the bad

signs are completely gone otherwise death or disasters entail.

After we can see and communicate our original souls, we have to ask them to ‘shrink’

and fit their sizes to our physical body or they will be too large to do anything. The

Taoist calls the shrinking of original soul as ‘soul shrinking’ (缩神). It is said that only

after our original souls are in proper sizes that we can handle them to do many tasks.

Now, since our original souls are practically us in every human form, they are bound

by all our past good and bad karmic forces and much restricted. These ‘contaminated’

souls will need to be blessed and purified in a ritual known as ‘soul transform’ (变神).

In this ritual we transform our original souls into the appearance of the gods or

goddesses that we desire. Normally a male Taoist will take the form of thunder god (雷神) and a female Taoist will be Marichi (斗母). I supposed this is somewhat similar to

the Tantric Yidam practice.

Well, if you have the complete Chaya Purusha practice, perhaps you can compare. It

would be good if anyone can send me a copy of that too!

Know Your Fate, Know Your Self (命主，身主)


6 of 18 10/06/2014 09:51 AM

One's fate and self are indicated by the Northern Stars and the Southern Stars

Systems.

It is confusing just ‘talk’ about Taoist rituals, so let’s ‘walk’ the talk.

First some theory:

In Taoism, we human are made up of two parts; our fate and ourselves.

Both of our fates and ourselves can be calculated through astrology. But astrology can

only tell what is coming to us and nothing else. Taoist rituals are meant to remedy

what is short of us; provided that we discover our shortcomings early.

Now, below is just a very simple exercise that every Taoist should know:

The first is everyone must know his/her own fate. In order to do that, we must call

upon the Northern Stars System as above.

One can light 7 candles, and line them up as above diagram and after that just walk

starting from point 1 to point 7 and return. One must remember the number of candles

that he/she has walked passed. If at any point one forgets the number of candles

he/she is at; remember this position as it has a big significant on his/her fate. If one is

not too tired, then he/she may sit on that position and meditate; lights may appear but

don’t be afraid. One should remember what kind of light one sees as that will have

some meaning to that person.

I would like to add a side note here that the Northern Stars System is also being used

in Flying Star Feng Shui to find out the best house direction for a place. If one's fate

matches with the house direction, then it will be good or else the house cannot be

dwelled.

Labels: Astrology, feng shui, Taoist Magic

On the following week, do the exercise for the Southern Stars System as above but

line up 6 candles or incenses as shown for the Southern Stars. Walk the star walk

repeatedly until at one point one feels a sensation. After that, he/she may sit on that

position and meditate for this position will have some relation with that person.

There are more extensive rituals and prayers to the gods and goddesses of the stars

to increase merit; but the above is just a simple exercise to try out for fun. It is safe

provided that one should not meditate for too long or problems may occur.

Anyway, reading about it is pretty safe. At best don’t try them without detail guidance

and supervision for we are tempering with our own fate and self; and no one want to

mess these two elements up if you know what I mean.

Star Worship, Astrology & TaoistInternal Training

The 28 heavenly houses represent both the major and minor chi cycles in Taoist

internal breathing exercise.

Taoist ceremonial magic has profound hidden meanings. Outsiders only amazed by its

fanfares, while it is no harm if outsiders don’t understand the hidden meanings of

Taoist ceremony; well if a Taoist himself/herself is the one who is ignorant, then this is

would be a little problem.


8 of 18 10/06/2014 09:51 AM

In Taoist ideology, immortality is achieved through the symbolic worship of heavenly

bodies and mother earth. In reality, the primitive Taoism has nothing to do with cycles

of rebirth (轮回). The heaven and earth are the products of yin-yang evolutions and

hence these evolutions give forth everything in this universe. The term ‘Tao’ truthfully

refers to the never ending cycles of existence between human and Mother Nature.

Taoist internal training borrows symbolism from ceremonial rituals to achieve the

union of heaven and earth. Perhaps you have heard of the ‘major and minor cycles’

(大小周天) in Taoist meditation? The minor cycle refers the movement of chi from

dantian to the bottom of our vertebrate, and then the route moves upwards to the

centre point of our skull. After that this chi moves downwards through our forehead

and then the route continues through the tip of the tongue and finally ended back into

dantian. A major cycle is when the chi is continued to be led downwards from the

sides of our thigh and then down to both soles; with a short pause on the soles and

finally this chi is led back to dantian through inside of our thighs (丹田).

These major and minor cycles of chi symbolise the 28 houses of heavenly bodies (廿八星宿）.

It is certainly aimless to have endless of chi cycles without doing anything. It needs to

stay put at one point similar to the idea of Buddhist Nirvana. In the worship of star

rituals and in Ziwei Astrology (紫薇斗数); two stars of importance are the Ziwei (紫薇)

and the Tianfu (天府).

Both of the above stars used to be guarded secrets of previous masters. I would

disclose this secret here that the Ziwei refers to the centre point of our skull, while the

Tianfu refers to the area between our reproductive organs and the ass hole (会阴).

Taoist believes, the North Star system (北斗) rules over death, while the South Star

system (南斗) rules over the living. Hence in Ziwei Astrology, our ‘fate’ is ruled by the

North system, while our current ‘self’ is ruled by the South system. The ruler of North

is the Zewei and the ruler of South is Tianfu.

If at one point, we want to stay in heaven, we would concentrate our chi in the centre

of our skull. If we want to be reborn into human form, then our chi should be

concentrated onto the bottom.

In order to have a perfect and good life; we should circulate our chi amongst the 5

stars: Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. These five stars again correspond to

our 5 internal organs: heart, lungs, kidney, spleen and lever. The weaker elements can

be replenished through rituals, breathing exercises and star walks.

Hidden Knowledge Of Joss PaperAshes

If I say that there is hidden knowledge inside the joss paper we burnt then you may

not believe me.

There is a set of knowledge taught by Feng Shui masters of old that can let people

know the deceased's death.

The approach is very simple: If the deceased is of unknown sex or origin, then before

Qingming; Or it can also be done in front of the grave, or in front of the coffin if

someone have burnt some joss paper. We can take a look at the paper ashes of what

it was like:

• If the ashes yellowish white, that the deceased might be male.

• If the ashes is black, and that the dead was a female.

• If ashes show red colour, that the cause of death was bleeding or bleeding to

death due to injury.

• If there are white spots within gray ashes, that the cause of death was due to

drowning.

• If yellow is seen in ashes, the cause of death is due to edema or long illness.

• If erythema then the person is believed to have died in childbirth.

Labels: feng shui, Folk Cult, Taoist Magic

• If the colours are red and green then the cause of death is crushed by woods.

• If the colours are yellow and red, then the cause of death is crushed by

stones or soil such as in mud slide.

• If the ashes are with yellow stripes then the person is died of strangulation.

• If the ashes show black lines then the person was killed in a foreign place.

• If red stripes are seen crisscrossing, then the person died during a fight.

• If there is no paper dust found than the dead was a loner, it is now described

as unbelievers Taoism.

• If the paper ashes are wet and black in colour, then the bones already turn

black and rotten.

I can’t stand by if the above tell tale signs will be accurate enough, but it is suffice to

deem them as part of our cultural heritage!

Soul Calling & Breaking Castle (招魂与破城)

In Chinese customs, when a person dies in a foreign land; it is believed that his soul

will have no way to return to his homeland even though his body is transported back

home. Hence, his soul will linger on in this foreign land and no way of enjoying any of

the food offerings given to him by his/her love ones. Of course, he/she also has no

way to be delivered through any of the religious ceremonies.

If such condition persists, then his soul will always in a foreign land and no chance of

being reborn. We perhaps can imagine that this poor soul will be in a pretty sorrow

and pitiful stage.


11 of 18 10/06/2014 09:51 AM

Unless a ‘soul calling’ ceremony is carried out by the deceased’s next of kin; then

could the dead soul return home with the ‘soul banner’ together with its love ones.

It is a norm that the ‘soul calling’ ritual is led by a monk or Taoist with banishing the

‘soul banner’; some folks even bring along a colourful booth with a ‘soul tablet’ (神主牌) inside. The function of a ‘soul tablet’ is to let the soul to temporary attach onto it. It

is certainly that the deceased’s love ones must also present or else the dead soul will

not follow a stranger.

First of all, the group must go to the place where the deceased passed away to carry

out this ‘soul calling’ activity. Before the ritual, candles and incense are burnt together

with some joss papers. After that, the Taoist master will hold a ring in his left hand and

the soul banner in his right while reciting lengthy pitiful soul calling mantras.

It is believed that only after the soul calling ritual that the dead soul can attach

properly onto the soul tablet and hence be brought home for worship.

What was being said above refer to where the body and location of the death can be

identified; but what happen if both of the information is unavailable? Then, the soul

calling ritual will be fruitless.

What to do?

Have no fear. Taoist has a ritual known as ‘breaking castle’ (破城). As the name

implies, ‘breaking castle’ refers to a situation where the dead soul is trapped or

imprisoned for some reasons. In order to release this trapped soul, we will have to rely

to the powers of gods.

First of all, the Taoist must carve a head out of wood or replace the head with a bun

(馒头).

When everything is ready, then the ceremony can be carried out to release the dead

soul.

Soul calling ceremony is frequently seen in Malaysia, but ‘castle breaking’ scene is

pretty rare now days.

Exorcism With Meteorites (流星赶月)

Exorcism with meteorites is a classical Taoist ceremonial exorcism ritual commonly

used when a Taoist is disturbed by stronger demonic force. This is a more powerful

exorcism method as the demon will be showered by meteorite rains and there is

nowhere to hide or escape. The effect is the same as if a human is being caught in a

hail storm in the middle of an open field.

In most cases, the demons are not harmed but they are spared after they repent for

what they have done. The fact is that no Taoists wanted to kill likely even with

demonic forces.

The Taoist exorcism with meteorites method is quite tedious as there are many steps

to follow:

First one will need to get a sword made of meteorite; though other swords are

possible with lesser power.

A meteorite sword hammered from a piece of raw meteorite.


13 of 18 10/06/2014 09:51 AM

Secondly, one must cast a Taoist celestial protective circle and call upon the Goddess

Marichi (斗母，摩利支天母) as below:

The magic circle should be cast while chanting the below mantra to call upon the

blessings of Goddess Marichi..

“天上修罗交战日, 人间劫难动灾时, 常游日月二天前, 独立刀兵三界内, 威光赫奕, 妙相圆融 , 接引众生, 超离诸苦, 大悲大愿, 大圣大慈, 朝礼法主九天雷祖大帝 (S)，日宫太阳星君 (E)，月宫太阴星君 (W)，北斗九皇道君 (N)，圣惠先天巨光斗姥，紫光金尊，乾元圣

德天后斗姥，摩利支天大圣，圆明道姥天尊 (N)。”

(When demons are at war with gods in the heaven, troubles descend onto human

realm, the one that plying in front of sun and moon, she who independent military

power in the three realms; arrogant and solemn but full with compassion and willing to

save sentient beings. I bow to the thunder god, the sun god, the moon goddess, the

northern star and Marichi.)

Now, the Taoist will take up his meteorite sword and walk the 7 star steps:


14 of 18 10/06/2014 09:51 AM



While holding the meteorite sword in both hands and walk the 7 star steps, meteorites

fall from the sky and hence destroying any demons inside the magic circle.

For every step the Taoist advances, he/she will imagine that meteorites fall from the

sky. When he/she advances, the meteorites become bigger and finally area contain

inside the magic circle is filled with red hot meteorites.

According to my master, the spirits will be stoned to death and if it is not absolutely

necessary; this method should not be used.

Casting A Taoist Magic Circle (保护圈)

Unlike the other magic traditions in this world that a magic circle is cast to provide

protection, a Taoist magic circle is meant to ‘contain’ and to ‘capture’. Basically there

are two types of magic circle in Taoist magic:


15 of 18 10/06/2014 09:51 AM

The Taoist 28 houses and 5 stars representing Taoist view of our galaxy.

The first is the circle of constellation which is a representation of the 28 houses (廿八宿). This circle is cast for two reasons, first in seeking the blessings of the ‘mother of

stars’ (斗母) or better known as goddess Marichi and the constellation (参星拜斗) for

the purpose of prolong one’s life and to avert disasters.

The second reason is to trap demonic forces and hence to annihilate it using the 7

steps ritual (七星斗罡).

The primordial bagua (先天八卦).

The second type of circle is called ‘bagua’ (八卦) which is used to trap an army of

demons as well as for the Taoist to escape from the chase of a more powerful spirit

when the Taoist failed to contain the entity he/she wish to destroy.


16 of 18 10/06/2014 09:51 AM



Before a bagua can be used, a Taoist must be able to visualize the bagua clearly

otherwise the power of his protective circle will be less. When a bagua assembles, the

spirits will be trapped in and when the bagua disassembles; the spirits too will also be

disintegrated.

A bagua also has many levels, the one that emits golden red colors is of the highest

level; it is said that this type of bagua can even trap gods and goddesses too.


Some Senseless Conversations (无言的结局)

You know, I entertain many senseless conversations daily. Perhaps you can treat

them as jokes, but to me those are just a waste of their time as well as mine. Let me

show you three examples:

Case 1: “Why didn’t my god of fortune ‘po-pi’ (helped/保佑) me?”

AA: “Why didn’t the Zho Gongming (赵公明) ‘po-pi’ me?”

Me: "Where did you put the Zhao Gongming?”

AA: “On my office desk, beside my computer.”

Me: “Can you put it on an altar please?”

AA: “No can do. I am a Christian…”

Me: “…”

P/S: A Taoist statue should not be put on a desk of a Christian. Any spirits in the

vicinity will possess the statue and bring bad luck.

Case 2: “My life sucks. I want a special Phra Ngan amulet.”

AA: “My life sucks. I want a special Phra Ngan amulet…”

Me: “Go to any amulet shop and you will find one.”

AA: “Oh, I want a special one, not those on the shelf…”

Me: “Okay. The price range for a good Phra Ngan amulet is about USD200++…”

AA: “…”

P/S: Cheap things no good; good things no cheap!

Case 3: “I am too boring. My Phra Ngan didn’t help me!”

BB: “Can you tell me why my Phra Ngan didn’t help me?”

Me: “Please elaborate.”

BB: “I am still single at 45 and I have almost everything I need but no partner…”

Me: “Did people horn you?”

BB: “Yes. Many people wanted to have me for supper!”

Me: “…”

P/S: Seems like Phra Ngan has worked for this lady but she just wasn’t grateful to

Phra Ngan…
