Templing at Tian Ling Dien, Puchong Selangor of Malaysia
Puchong is a main town in Petaling Selangor, Malaysia. It used to be a rubber estate and tin-mining town about 40 years ago. In the past, it consists of only one two-lane road running through estates and villages. Since then, urbanization has occurred rapidly in recent years with many industrial parks, commercial buildings and residential areas mushrooming along Jalan Puchong, the main road. Tian Ling Dian Chinese Temple is located within the vicinity of Bandar Puchong Jaya. In conjunction with its 6th Anniversary Celebration, taoist priests from Hian Eng Daoist Group are invited to conduct a ritual of thanksgiving during the celebration month. Last year its local devotees have witnessed a special ritual called “Spiritual Area Cleansing” by our taoist priests. It is a combination of mock attack by priest with sword and Chinese healing arts display that lasted for at least an hour. The purpose of this event is to eliminate all kind of evils, negative forces as well as outer black magic that appear to be closet within the visible scene such as houses or objects. This year, our taoist priests have staged another taoist skill called “Cooking Oil Cleansing”. Its purpose is to expel evil essence or non-compliance factor into the frying oil tripod. If those kind of energies do exist, four numinous animals of heaven, namely blue dragon, white tiger, red phoenix as well as black warrior together with the thirty-six heavenly generals would be called and ready to make offensive attack at once just to make the place safer to live.
