Taoism believes that everyone is born with the energy of the stars in the sky, so there is a saying among the people that ‘one star in the sky and one person on the earth’. So each of us’ luck is actually closely related to our own destiny star palace in the sky.
The worship of stars is a part of Taoist beliefs. Taoism believes that “the Southern Dipper brings birth, while the Northern Dipper brings death”. If a GongDeng is lit before the arrival of the gods, it can make the stars of one’s destiny brighter and receive blessings from the gods, and one’s luck will gradually improve.
GongDeng is a symbol of wisdom and light. GongDeng are one of the important ways of offering in Taoism. In Taoism, GongDeng not only illuminate thousands of miles and perform Taoist rituals, but also illuminate the Nine Profound Heavenly Blessings Hall and descend to the Nine Profound Infinite Hell. Cooperating with the rituals and ceremonies of the Dharma, illuminating the heavenly court, descending into hell, warding off the dead, relieving suffering and saving misfortunes, and so on, is a superior merit. GongDeng has the meaning of brightness. Regularly GongDeng for the gods, smooth the journey in this world, avoiding disasters and difficulties, and being able to help ancestors and escape from the underworld.
Write the name, date of birth, and detailed home address of the GongDeng donor (merit master) on the Changsheng Lu tablet, and GongDeng up your own life GongDeng every day for more than 360 days a year to illuminate good luck.
Throughout the year, on the first and fifteenth day of each month, the “Beidou Zhenjing” is recited to bless the meritorious master of the Longevity and Wealth Position card with peace, auspiciousness, and smooth sailing. GongDeng embodies our wishes; GongDeng represents our reverence and devotion to the gods; GongDeng is our best wish for the cause and family of the lamp supplier, and it is also a prayer for the good luck and brightness of every meritorious master. Every day of the year, the light shines brightly, illuminating all darkness!
