A Talk on Taoist Rituals at Thian Hock Keng Temple, Singapore

When I was young, I liked and used to sing a favourite English song entitled “Beautiful Sunday” because that remind me to relax after a week of study. When I started to work, I tried to spare more times with my family during Sunday if available. Last Sunday, I was accompanied a group of Unitarian Universalists local members to a Chinese temple Thian Hock Keng. The main deity of the temple is Goddess of Mazu. During an hour tour to the temple, I shared with them about our taoist rituals for Goddess of Mazu in Singapore as well as China and Taiwan. It was a fruitful gathering especially the group members were able to explain the meanings of various offerings. Unitarian Universalists Singapore is a growing community of individuals who recognize the value of traditions and seek to learn from each other’s traditions as they work to promote spiritual growth for the community at large.
