Do more expensive religious services have stronger powers or blessings?

Price alone cannot decide. A high fee does not mean strong power, and a low fee does not mean less work. Look at why the practitioner arranged it that way and whether the task is carried out earnestly.

During the pandemic we reduced a blessing service’s fee to share hardship and allow people in need to participate. Asked whether such a low price meant little power, we explained that prayer cannot be converted directly from money. Paying less does not mean only a little protection. That was the arrangement that year, expressing a wish to accompany people through difficulty.

Prayer documents, spirit money, lamps and incense still required preparation, and the work still took serious time. I care whether goodwill becomes actual help. Assuming expensive is good and cheap useless overlooks that care.

I also compared payments of six hundred, six thousand or sixty thousand: our procedure remained identical. We would not give more for more money, nor ask the Jade Emperor to do only sixty percent for sixty-percent payment. A ritual seeking blessings and relief deserves full execution. Suitable dates and shared prayer offer another faith-based support, distinct from allocating effort by amount.

An early client’s business struggled. I offered reminders for six hundred and told him to stop spending recklessly. He later paid another teacher six thousand, heard similar advice and returned calling me capable. It felt poignant: I had tried saving him money, but another expense increased his trust. This was my case, not proof another teacher was wrong simply for charging more. Judgment cannot rest on prices.
