Deities and Faith
How can we choose among many ceremonies when priorities are necessary?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
First consider present personal and family needs and each ceremony’s purpose. Explain actual conditions to discuss suitable priorities. Every event need not include the whole family.
Health, peace, wealth, and relationships involve differing wishes, with ceremonies aligned to divine virtue. A practitioner suggested elders for health and primary earners for wealth. Priorities therefore invite different advice.
Do personal responsibilities seriously first, then seek additional divine help within resources. Learn why the event exists, what it includes, and how it proceeds so your prayer becomes clear.
I encourage blessings and merit while considering finances. Individual conditions and blessings differ, making one participation standard difficult. Arrange according to present need and affordability.
