When we pray to the Creator, what do we pray for?

当我们拜天公时，我们需要向天公祈求什么？

When we pray, we seek the Creator’s blessings for our brothers and sisters to pray to the Creator with their mind, body and soul, for them to be more spiritually aware while practicing to be a whole man, pray for their daily safety, their good health, their success in life and their wishes to be granted.

当我们拜天公时，我们会向天公祈求赐福给兄弟姐妹们以灵感、肉体、灵魂拜天公，希望天公赐福，让他们做到具备神圣，成为全人，并祝福他们出入平安、身体健康、做事顺利、万事如意等等。

How do we “Chook Fook”?

我们如何进行祝福？

On 3rd of October, brothers and sisters in white attire will congregate at a selected venue. We start by singing the song of the Prayer. We then pray for the Creator’s blessings for everyone before departing. Brothers and sisters are grouped according to their residential areas. Upon arrival, we sing the song of the Prayer to let them know that we have arrived. After singing, we pray for the Creator’s blessings for the family. We will present our anniversary card to the family and spend some time sharing the latest information or to renew our relationship. Light refreshment is sometimes prepared by the host family but this is optional. The Prayer will be sung once more before leaving to visit the next family.

十月三日祝福日当天，兄弟姐妹会身穿白色衣服聚集在指定场所，齐唱经文歌后便集体拜天公祝福给全部兄弟姐妹。接着大家分区出发到每一个兄弟姐妹的住所去祝福。每抵达各家各户，我们都与该家庭成员齐唱经文歌一遍，接着拜天公祈求天公赐福予他们。我们会献上一张贺年卡及祝贺他们，大家借此机会交流一番联系感情，逗留的时间随意。各家庭可以选择性准备食物以及饮品招待到访者。离开前，大家再次齐唱经文歌一遍。

Why do we have to “Chook Fook” for every family?

为何我们要逐户祝福给兄弟姐妹呢？

Baitiangong is akin to a big family where everyone is a brother and sister, thus we have to seek the Creator’s blessings for all.

拜天公如同一个大家庭，大家都是兄弟姐妹，所以我们互相祝福以期天公的赐福。

Annual Fasting Month 每年十月份禁食禁饮

Annual Fasting Month

每年十月份禁食禁饮

           October is a spiritual month for us and all brothers and sisters are required to fast at least once for 24 hours continuously without food and water within this month. This spiritual month is a good time for us to discard our bad habits and to be a person who can change for the better.

                Some brothers and sisters may choose to fast for 72 hours continuously without food and water. This is however not compulsory.

                When man was first created, they did not know how to eat and drink for the first 72 hours. We fast for 72 hours to let the Creator know that we have not forgotten the existence of God.

    The main purpose for us to fast 72 hours continuously is to request for the Creator’s consciousness to remain amongst mankind. When this is so, mankind would not be evil. For an example, the Divine Law of Nature is part of the Creator’s Consciousness: if a person is thinking of committing some evil deeds, the Divine Law of Nature will grant good consciousness to this person to stop the evil thoughts from manifesting.

      十月份乃是我们的神圣月份，兄弟姐妹在这个月份内必须实行至少一次廿四小时禁食禁饮。这个月份是新的开始，让我们把不良的嗜好和行为改掉，做个知错必改的人。

       一些兄弟姐妹更是实行长达七十二小时的禁食禁饮，但非强制性。

       当天公开始创造人类时，首七十二小时并不懂得吃和喝。而我们禁食禁饮七十二小时是要让天公知道我们并没有忘记主的存在。

       禁食禁饮七十二小时主要目的是不要让天公的感觉离开我们太远。当天公的感觉在人群中，我们人类就不会这样坏，比如说，神圣自然安排是天公的感觉之一，如果有一个人想要做坏，神圣自然安排会给他一个好的感觉，以致他停止想坏。

Fasting every 1st and 15th day of the Lunar calendar

农历初一、十五禁食禁饮

                Apart from the once in a year compulsory fasting, we are also encouraged to perform an optional 24 hours continuous fasting on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar calendar. By fasting regularly, we can improve our health and control our emotions. We eat to provide nutrition for our body, we read to provide knowledge for our mind and we fast to provide spiritual enlightenment for our soul.

       除了一年一次必须履行禁食禁饮以外，兄弟姐妹也受鼓励在农历月初一及十五禁食禁饮廿四小时。我们经常禁食禁饮，可强身健体及平和情绪。我们进食以提供养分给身体、阅读以提供知识给思维、禁食禁饮以提供神圣启发给灵魂。

Fasting Fund Donation

禁食禁饮慈善捐款

           Every year on 4th of October we will invite charitable organization to participate in our celebration and we will donate the money collected from the fasting fund to them. The fasting fund is raised from brothers and sisters who have fasted for 24 hours continuously without food or water. The amount donated from each brother and sister is the same regardless of their financial status. Although the donation amount is not significant, the fasting is of profound significance.

       每年的十月四日，我们都会邀请慈善机构前来参与这项盛会，并将收到的禁食禁饮善款捐给他们。我们的善款都是兄弟姐妹们实行廿四小时禁食禁饮后所捐出。无视各人的经济水平，每个人所捐的善款数额都是一律的。虽然我们的捐款不多，但禁食禁饮的意义深长。

Anniversary of the Revelation of the Prayer - 4 Oct

Anniversary of the Revelation of

the Prayer to pray to the Creator to Xian Sheng

on 4th October 1976

一九七六年十月四日，是先生得到

拜天公经文的纪念日

                Every year, we celebrate this occasion on a grand scale to commemorate the Revelation of the Prayer to pray to the Creator. We arrange the programme to feature Xian Sheng’s teachings, performance by brothers and sisters and donation to the charitable organizations. Brothers and sisters are encouraged to take leave from work and invite their families, relatives and friends to attend our celebration.

每年我们都会隆重的庆祝这项庆典，为了纪念先生得到拜天公经文的日子。我们安排了许多的节目以特显先生的教导，其中包括兄弟姐妹所呈献的表演节目以及禁食禁饮慈善捐款等。我们鼓励兄弟姐妹能够于当天休假及邀约亲朋戚友积极到来参与其盛。

     

How did Xian Sheng receive the Prayer to pray to the Creator? 

先生是如何得到拜天公的经文？

                The Prayer to pray to the Creator was first revealed to Xian Sheng during one of his meditation sessions at his home in Kepong Baru on 4th October, 1976. The prayer revealed to Xian Sheng was in Chinese characters and it was as though a voice (internal consciousness) was narrating the Prayer word by word in Cantonese. Being one educated in an English school all his life, he was naturally at a loss as far as the Prayer in Chinese characters was concerned and he uttered, “GOD!  I don’t understand Chinese”.  However, Xian Sheng remembered the narration in Cantonese and later with the help of his friends who were Chinese scholars he was able to have the whole Prayer written down correctly to form what is now our prayer.

       于一九七六年十月四日，先生于甲洞卫星市的住家打坐时得到拜天公的经文。这首经文是以中文方体字呈现给先生，并以粤语（内的感觉）一字一字的念出。基于先生自小受英文教育，面对这么突然的际遇，很自然的喃喃以英语问道  “GOD!  I don’t understand Chinese” （中文译  “主！我不懂得中文”）。然而，每一个字的发音都深刻的印在先生的脑海中。随后在先生的几位谙中文的朋友协助下，才把整首经文正确无误的写下来，就是现今我们使用的经文了。

Why is 4th October so important to us and why do we celebrate it?

为何十月四日如此重要以及为何我们要庆祝？

                4th October is to commemorate the day Xian Sheng received the Prayer. We use this Prayer to pray to the Creator.

       珍惜先生在此日得到拜天公的经文，让我们有一个机会以这首经文拜万物创造者。

Can we change the date?

这个庆典可否改期？

                To understand the importance of this day, we celebrate this occasion on the same day every year. At the same time, 4th October is our spiritual new year, thus if we change the date, the significance will be lost.

       为了要让我们重视及明白此日的意义，我们会在每年十月四日那一天庆祝，同时也视此日为神圣新年。如果改期庆祝，就失去其意义了。

Why do we encourage people to wear white attire for this celebration?

为何我们要身穿白色服装参加此庆典呢？

                White symbolizes purity, essence of unity and integrity. Wearing the same colour serves to promote and project a united front and forms an identity for our spiritual movement.

       白色象征纯洁、团结、光明正大。身穿相同的颜色也能促进和显现团结的精神和我们神圣运动的特性。

When we arrive at the celebration venue, why must we pray to the Creator?

当我们抵达庆典的场所，为何一定要拜天公？

                We pray at the celebration venue to show our gratitude to the Creator for revealing the Prayer to Xian Sheng.

       在现场拜天公，是为了感激天公于一九七六年十月四日让先生得到拜天公的经文。
