Just for information :

 

 

The 1st day offering is to respect 'them' and also for own & family safety whilst walking, driving, jogging in park, swimming, ... etc. as 'they' just released.

 

On the 15th offering is to our relatives who might pay a visit to us

 

And the last day of offering is for 'those' who did not have any relatives to offer 'them' and they can collect from your offering so that they have a peaceful journey back.......

 

 

Didn't know the reason then.

You have to pray one of those days outside to offer to those wandering spirits ....

 

We keep our ancestral praying mostly on 15th of 7 lunar month and that is if that day falls on Sat or Sun.

 

Peoples will pray early or later (on weekends) if 15th falls on weekdays.

 

On the last day (31/08/2016, Wed) just go Giant or NTUC and buy a packet of joss paper (come in complete set) and 5 oranges. Go down stair and pai pai por pi ....

My mum has never burnt these things also. She never liked the smoke and ashes. Its my aunties and uncles who burn these. I joined in cos I like to play with fire.

 

After marrying my wife, then she will pull me to burn these offerings. She say cannot alone burn lah and she scared lah. Me like to play with fire, so under the bo bian law, have to burn these offerings. But I dont see it as offerings, I see it as play. Like how to start the fire and how to make it sustain itself and let the flame go up higher.

funny lor . . haha!! sounds like you framed Billy Joel

I used to release small birds every 初一十五 .................even when I was stationed in china................until one day a few years back.......

 

that very afternoon I bought 9 birds................because i was in a hurry..............I released them in the car park instead of the usual park near by..........the moment i opened the gate..............all flew up except one.................it flew onto the ground..............out of nowhere a cat appeared...............and ate up that little bird right in front of me.............My heart dropped and I didnt speak a word the rest of the day..........

 

i spoke to my younger brother a few days later.............and he told me dont bother over it...........the bird owe the cat its life............and I was given the task to sent it off...............that's all............and then he asked me...........do you kill ants, cockroaches, lizards and mozzis????.....................thats one life also you know............you kill life every so often and buy a few birds to release twice a month..............you can easily spare hundreds of ants and dont buy any birds.............no demand and nobody will go catch those birds.............

 

I kept that with me from then..............

Let's stray from Ghost to Deity a bit.

 

Those vendors selling birds outside Irawan 4 Faced Buddha for liberation. Don't buy from them.

 

The birds are trained. Once you release; they will all fly to a designated place where they were fed/trained.

 

The vendors will net them and sell again outside the temple.

 

All in the name of liberation.
