Chinese Tradition 拜天公


I woke up early this morning, feeling the energy around my upper chakra so strong that I was inspired to write this. People of all races & religions, you can look into the beautiful sky today. Just smile and make a small wish for peace and harmony to every corner in this world and also to everyone around you.
I just did it and tears just welled up at my eyes. Hmm...my eyes were still puffy till now...it was tears of Joy and Gratitude. The presence of super pure energy today. Breathe in deeply and blow out all worries. Repeat this a few times. Brighten the lamp in your heart first (imagine). Breathe in deeply and blow love towards the sky. Trust me, you may tears. Please give it a try.... with love Bryan. To enhance, you can hold any crystal, mala and gui ren bag for this simple exercise.

No matter what religion we believed in, being a Chinese, we should understand the Chinese tradition of 拜天公. Understand to widen your knowledge :)
拜天公 (Pray to Tian Gong)
This is a Hokkien tradition. It is a day even bigger than Chinese new year :)
A day where many good things will manifest. We should eat good food today. Give thanks to people around you and to God. Gratitude is the spirit behind today. Very often, we take things for granted and overlook to thank or show our appreciation to people around us. Today. let us reflect back. Whatever issues we faced in life is a challenge for us and a preparation for us to reach to higher level. Smile, relax, surrender, open your heart and release all negative emotions. It is a day to pray for happiness to all.

Summarize ☆正月初九“天公生” in Bryan Lao Shi's broken English
Today is 9th lunar day. In chinese 以一(one) 为阳数之始,以九(nine)为原始之。Jade Emperor represents the beginning and Ending... 是天界的大罗天界的主宰,尊贵非凡,因此,以象征“始”和“终”的日子作为其神诞。 
Number one and nine represent water and fire element respectively. It all happened in the Tang Dynasty. A group of bad soldiers planned to have a Big Killing on the Chinese Hokkien town. All Hokkien was hidden and protected in the sugar cane Farm, and thus the Bad Soldiers could not find them. This day happened to be the 9th day of Chinese new year. Therefore, people celebrated to give thanks to Jade Emperor as it was also his birthday that day.
