Work and Money
What did I experience with Master Ji Gong while worrying about New Year income?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Early on, I often worried about income at New Year. Most people had already asked about their fortunes before the holiday, and the later lamp-lighting arrangements did not yet exist. Fewer holiday consultations meant less income, while living expenses remained.
One New Year’s Eve, while sensing and talking before Master Ji Gong’s statue, he pointed at spirit paper and joked that I clearly had plenty of money. I thought it was money for deities, not spendable in the human world. He later taught me to set a small ritual arrangement, prepare it, and pray, which I followed.
On New Year’s Day, two booking calls arrived. As I recall, consultations began on the third day and continued over the following days. Miao Nian and Dao Xuan came during that holiday too. Remembering it, I remain grateful for the care I felt.
The support was not only new consultations. Financial pressure and bills remained, yet I felt calmer and trusted that Master Ji Gong would help. For me, it brought inner stability while life still needed facing.
This is my experience. The story does not fully describe the ritual arrangement, so readers cannot invent a procedure from fragments or infer guaranteed money for anyone repeating it. Service arrangements from that year are not current announcements.
