Deities and Faith
Can attending a wedding banquet share joyful energy during low fortune?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
You can attend a wedding banquet during low fortune and experience the couple’s and guests’ joy. From the folk and energy perspectives I discuss, this offers shared blessings and festive energy. “One joy dispels nine calamities” describes favorable atmosphere from celebration, not a guarantee one banquet removes nine disasters completely.
Blessing the couple, shaking hands, and taking wedding candy when leaving all express sharing joy. First consider whether you can participate happily rather than forcing yourself. If money is tight, a gift without attendance can express good wishes within your means. A large red envelope is not a qualification for receiving goodwill.
If attending, focus on meeting, blessing, and sharing. Constantly calculating expense and value until both sides are unhappy loses the original intention. This concerns participation’s attitude, not pricing good fortune by the gift amount.
I also mentioned borrowing fortune through shaking hands with famous people, but energetic exchange depends on their condition, not fame alone. If rumors leave you uneasy, do not force an action to prove anything. I prefer approaching deities and seeking help through faith. Understand conditions alongside these accounts, rather than making handshakes and photographs compulsory fortune-changing exercises.
