Deities and Faith
Should I worship the Earth God near home or near work?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Begin with an Earth God temple near home or work with which you have a geographic relationship. For family matters, consider the home area. For work and wealth, consider one near the company whose jurisdiction includes it. Closeness matters alongside your actual relationship with the place.
The Earth God is close to everyday life, perhaps around the corner or along your commute. I often compare him to a neighborhood or village chief to explain locality and jurisdiction within faith. Think about where you live and work rather than only pursuing famous temples.
The Earth God is also one deity approachable for wealth. Civil and Martial Wealth Gods may be considered according to the type of work, while Earth God worship includes geographic affinity. Clarifying your needs helps prayer, but finding the right temple does not guarantee increased income.
After worship, responsibilities remain yours. Adjust work methods where needed, make necessary effort, and contact relevant people. Asking of yourself alongside asking deities means doing possible work well while requesting help.
