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.

The Benefit Of Rain Water
1 year ago
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 pas 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.

I think the stream my pa was about to pass through was known as the river of no
return (), 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

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.

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! Dont 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 ()?
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
Palmistry (1)
speaking are the same. What makes the difference is that the ghostly bodies are
Psychology (8)
formed by chi () and they are not solid as we human. That also explains why
Religion (23)
Ritual Implements (1)
Saefi (1)
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
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
th
go into underworld. Old folks believe that it is during the 7 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

The Indian Shadow Man or the Taoists Original Soul may not be anyones 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 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 dont do it alone for your
own good!

It would probably not an over statement that Taoist rituals are 50% Hindu rituals. For
February (27)
March (20)
example: Taoists worships Brahma (), Kali (), Yama () and Marichi ()
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:
About Me
Shih Perng Liew
In Taoist magic, Chaya Purusha is known as ones original soul () and there is a
set of quite extensive practice to activate our original soul by stages:
The first stage is training soul (). 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 (). One most
popular is offering oil lamps to the Northern Stars System () and walk the
previously mentioned star steps (). 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 (). 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 ().
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 (
) and a female Taoist will be Marichi (). 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!

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 lets walk the talk.
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
dont 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.

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 dont 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.

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 dont 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.

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
() 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 ().
These major and minor cycles of chi symbolise the 28 houses of heavenly bodies (
.
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 (); two stars of importance are the Ziwei ()
and the Tianfu ().
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 ().
Taoist believes, the North Star system () rules over death, while the South Star
system () 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.

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:
10 of 18
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.
10/06/2014 09:51 AM
http://liewsp1-magicsea.blogspot.com/search/labe...
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 cant 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!

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.

Unless a soul calling ceremony is carried out by the deceaseds 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 (
) inside. The function of a soul tablet is to let the soul to temporary attach onto it. It
is certainly that the deceaseds 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 (). 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
().
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.

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.

Secondly, one must cast a Taoist celestial protective circle and call upon the Goddess
Marichi () as below:
The magic circle should be cast while chanting the below mantra to call upon the
blessings of Goddess Marichi..

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:

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.

The Taoist 28 houses and 5 stars representing Taoist view of our galaxy.
The second reason is to trap demonic forces and hence to annihilate it using the 7
steps ritual ().
The second type of circle is called bagua () 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.

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.
