knees, lower your head and face down, lay 2 hands into 2 parallel lines and
face down right infront of your knees. For each time you hold your head up,
place your left hand on your chest (Chakra 4) and your right hand on head
where your thumb is on chakra 6.
KOWTOW 9 TIMES
From start, kowtow but your back is straight; your right hand is straight forward
and is put on your forhead; your left hand is put across infront of your chest/heart.

Then lower your face and face down; 2 hands are then put face down on the
ground and parallel; 2 hands are about the face’s position; Do this 9 times.

9 directions. No.9 is the highest number in sequence of natural numbers, the
Position of 9 celestial heavens – God. It also represents the immortal of the soul,
the Universe or God. No.9 is also about 9 planes in Solar System, 9 Northern Stars
(7 Great Stars – Ancient Buddhas and 2 Stars- Boddhisattvas). The 9th
realm
according to Celestial Way is Heavens.

the four days of shifting seasons (which change the sap of the universe), including

At that time, the Buddha spoke to Manjusri Bodhisattva and what he expounded
was this scripture. It has awesome spirit and awesome power. It can save all beings
from grave offenses and it can eradicate all karmic obstructions.
If there are monks and nuns, officials and administrators, laymen (upasakas), good
men and good women, whether wealthy or poor, whether of long or short lifespan,
they are all under the sway of the seven stars of the Northern Dipper. If they hear
this scripture and receive it, make offerings, and read it repeatedly, and exhort
friends and relatives, kith and kin, then in this life they will obtain great fortune
and in the next life will attain rebirth in a heaven.
If there are good sons and daughters whose kinsmen have already died and and
fallen into hell where they have received all sorts of bitter misery – if they hear this
scripture, revere it, and make offerings, then forthwith those who have died will
attain release from hell and be reborn in Sukhavati (Amitabha’s Pure Land).
If there are good sons and daughters who are injured by attacks of imps or troubled
by evil demons, or if evil dreams, weird occurrences, or dead souls alarm them-
then if they hear this scripture, receive it and make offerings, forthwith the dead
souls will be pacified and they will always be free of fear.
If there are good sons and daughters, and if they serve as personal attendants to an
official and- if they encounter this scripture, revere it, and make offerings,
forthwith they will themselves attain promotion to official status. This is great
happiness.
If there are good sons and daughters, and if illness racks their bodies and they seek
relief, then they should, in a pure room, burn incense and make offerings to this
scripture. The illness will abate.
If there are good sons and daughters who desire advancement and through goods-
trading travel as brokers, seeking wealth, comfortable living, and prosperity- if
they encounter this scripture, revere it, and make offerings, forthwith they will
attain the sought-after wealth and comfort they seek, and their transactions will
bring them great fortune.
If they are good sons and daughters, and if in raising silkworms (the cocoons) are
empty, or if in husbanding the six beasts are discontented, then in a pure room,
they should burn incense and make offerings to this scripture. They will attain
fields of silkworms according to their wishes, and their six domestic beasts will
multiply and they will never suffer injury or loss, disaster or obstruction.
If there are women who are pregnant and in difficulty at the tie of parturition, then
if they encounter this scripture, revere it and make offerings to it, forthwith mother
and child will be separated and the danger will be eliminated. As a result, the
children born to them will attain uprightness and long life as a consequence of their
previous good deeds.
If there are good sons and daughters, they should know that the seven stars of the
Northern Dipper enlighten and dominate their life. If they face misfortune or
10

disaster in their life, and if they encounter this scripture, revere it and make
offerings to it, forthwith they will be safe and nothing can cause harm to them.
At that time, Manjushri Bodhisattva said that then, all the good men and women
bowed respectfully to come back

CONCLUSION ABOUT THE UNITY OF HUMAN THEOLOGY-GREAT
HOLINESS RELIGION- THIS IS GOD’S PLAN TO UNIFY THE WHOLE
HUMANITY AND TO OPPOSE THE DISCRIMINATION OF RELIGIONS
SO AS TO ESTABLISH GREAT UNITY IN THE WHOLE HUMANITY.
The seven stars of Northern Dipper according to Buhhism is the same as the
seven stars of Taoism and other disciplines and is also Great Angels (Archangel)
of Christian.
13

They are the avatars of God, the Great Ancient Angels who were born by God
since the birth of the Universe.
The council of these Nothern Stars is the Council which manages all Great
Angels and is unified in the human body in the physical world; they are the Divine
Masters who hold the destiny of man and every living beings.
- In terms of physical appearance and female nature: 9 Northern Stars are unified
and also represented Female Buddha – Queen Mother or the Heavenly Mother-The
One who leads the Council of the Buddhas, presides reincarnation and karmic
retribution and creates physical bodies and shapes the visible form of the universe;
The Eastern culture call them as the Nine Celestial Feminine Monarchs, or in the
Vietnamese belief, they are called the Superior Goddess. Caodaism calls Dieu Tri
Kim Mau. We are unified to call as “Queen Mother”.
Parents are 2 parts of Yin-Yang Taiji. The one who cultivates to return home must
have great respect to Great Queen Mother who has given birth to all all sentient
beings in the universe.
All human beings must understand this deeply. That is how we call righteous
enlightentment.
- In the physical world, the Mother represents the birth and nourishment of
ourselves, so first of all, we must respect our Mother. Celestial Way is the
Way to learn how to become a true man.
* We worship King Father Almighty God – Celestial Ritual in this way is to
UNIFY ALL BELIEVES AND RELIGIONS OF MANKIND. All religions and
belives though with different names all come from one origin.
The Great Angels (Archangels) or Great Stars are also Ancient Buddhas!
Cultivation to return home is to return Heaven or Nirvana. On heaven, there is a
King; that is God so we call King Father God; there is Queen Mother, the mother
of all sentient beings. Divine Beings, superior souls or Buddhas are all the sons and
the daughters of Father and Mother. All the heads of all religions are all avatars of
God on earth to teach humanity about the truths.
Celestial Way Prime Method to build Great Holiness is Human’s Prime Method
that was given, delegated and taught by God; therefore, the way of Celestial Way
Prime Method is inevitable way and is also principles of humanity to build future
society; there will be no other way; even if there happens the end of the current
world, Great Holiness must be built according to this ideal no matter how long it
takes!

ABOUT MAKING CEREMONIAL OFFERINGS
Do not pray for evil things or ask for promotion/advancements or good luck when
taking examination. Do not pray for brisk trade though doing deceitfully; do not
ask for harming good people or some greedy actions for one’s own benefits.
(Self-strive for the goodness; no divine beings help such spiritual opportunities.
Because living beings have acquired evil actions/habits so this has affected badly
to temples, pagodas in the eschatology. Superior beings never approve for such
actions)
- Only pray for relieving oneself of his run of bad luck, for healing illness, for
repressing evil people, for protecting your life, for having more longevity and for
having a happy family.
- Forbid desecrating higher beings when your prayer is not approved. Diseases or
bad karmas are of karmic effect and of bad debts in previous lives or current life;
no one will take care of those things; if you want to be saved, you must believe and
have sincere reverence and try to correct your bad actions/habits in daily life
if any, such as: hatred, vulgarity, jealousy, greed, fraud trade, disdain towards the
poor, evil thoughts, cunning ignorance, contempt for the spiritual world, curse of
the heaven and the earth or the weather, destroying or causing pollution to the
environment, slaughter of the fishes/sea creatures, exploitation of the poor,
harming the good people, or blaming others, hating the righteous people; fighting
for one’s own power and fortune, corruption, ill-treat to husband or wife, killing
other living beings, bad habits in eating, addiction, being afraid to help others,
etc. Such people when pray but do not be helped cannot reproach God.
- Forbid spiritual opportunity: which means praying and offerings everywhere
but when being asked to correct bad habits, to do charity work, to eat vegetarian
foods in several days to purify the body or to practice disciplines, they will hesitate
to do. Such people usually do not know about what actually Buddhism is, how
good such spiritual spirit or may feel afraid of worshipping King Father God.
Such people even read scriptures or prayer but such things are just the forms.
Such people are always willing to pray any tree, stone or evil demons as long as
these satisfy their greedy needs. They do not know that such wishes are just from
borrowing and finally they will have to pay a high price. One’s fate can only be
changed when their virtue and righteousness pass their destiny.
At the end of the world, people usually go to pagodas and monasteries, but no one
prays for the happiness, peaceful world, great unity world, enlightenment of truth
27

or out of ignorance for the whole humanity; People only ask for fortune, money,
reputation, talent, etc.; This causes a messy society! This era of decadence has
started from the beginning of the 20th century; True people when seeing the
sentient beings usually go to temples cannot be happy because they just go to ask
for their personal wishes but not to practice and cultivate themselves or learn from
Masters. Now most of religions are all decadent so according to the new law of
Celestial Hierarchy, you’d better worship God at home and cultivate yourself to
save yourself before waiting for the help from God. The one who goes and prays to
cure his disease to be successfully cured is really rare. Do not be obscure!
-For major diseases or heavy karmic effects, you must eat vegetarian foods, follow
the “nine do not do provisions, self-cultivate to save yourself and do the chartiry
work, this may be solved! You must do the ceremony at home, then swear to go to
work merit for the poor, help others, worship God, meditate and practice qigong to
cure the disease.
For Muslims or Christians, you can pray to God (also the Heavenly King Father);
you may not read Thank King Father Prayer but the prayer of your own religions.
All angels should be honored - In fact, they are the same in heaven; this is just
different names.
- For the salvation of the ancestors, you should put their names, date of birth, the
year of dead people in the petition and then pray Father, Mother and Master to let
them save their souls. These people should be called to join ceremony to be saved.
Then, do the charity works to the poor, and do merit to pay for the karmas of
ancestors; in return, the ancestor will be saved and they may become sacred; thus,
they can assist and preserve. Deaths who have been attributed to the temple, if they
are not saved by the Buddhas, you should do the ceremony to save them and the
salvation of their souls can be initiated; do not let them wander in the temples;
temples are the places for cultivation, not the places for containing bone-ash or the
dead people’s picture.
You should only pray the Buddha to rescue suffering when you know Buddhist
ethics and believe in Buddhism; Greedy, hared and attached people cannot be
helped.
- For spiritual problems such as the ghosts or the invasion of the spell, pray to
higher Celestial Hierarchy, Celestial Hierarchy will consider. All the spells made
by the devils and greedy powwows will be gradually destroyed by Celestial
Hierarchy.
- For the problems related to good layers of earth, land or feng shui or bone in the
soul, you may also put it in the petition for asking for help.
- In the places full of cold darkness, places which usually happen accidents, rivers,
battlefields, graveyards, etc., this ceremony can also be applied. Then visualize
Celestial Ritual Sumbol on it and ask for help from higher seven stars of Northern
Dippers to dispel bad energy and solve this.
28

CEREMONIAL NO. 3 – PERFORM PENITENCE
If you have sins, you should read the Penitential Book/Prayer and do meditation
to feel the quietness and release heavy thoughts. The mind and body must be clean
in the ceremony.
The Penitential Book/Prayer is as follows: If you make a mistake or a guilty act,
you will feel comfortable and lightly after reading,
“I’m kowtowing to dear King Father!
I’m kowtowing to dear Queen Mother!
I am praying to penance my sinfulness and sadness
Due to my delusion or the infection of the greed
the uncleaned world by the ambition
Please now I confess the sin to Heaven
In the hope of asking for forgiveness by Father and Mother”
- If there are any guilty, you must say out, or whisper…
- Then Sit and meditate to release stress and bad mood, admit the mistake and
promise to repair it silently.
(Because The court of Celestial Palace witness any sins and acts, words, thoughts
so God and Celestial Hierarchy know everything; the Judges of Three Palaces
shall fully consider the guilty or benefaction; therefore, the purpose of this is to
realize the mistake for repentance, not to hide sins because if you try to hide, after
dying, you shall be severely exiled).
CEREMONIAL NO.4 - OFFERING FESTIVALS AND WORSHIP TO
GOD AND CELESTIAL HIERARCHY
1- Four festivals
There are four festivals to offer sacrifices to Heaven (God) each year, they are
the four days of shifting seasons (which change the sap of the universe), including
the spring equinox, the Summer Solstice, the autumn equinox and the Winter
Solstice.
In these days, life-sustaining element is gathered at Central Palace. Therefore,
there should be a simple offering to King Father God at one’s own free will
outside. Each family can do by their own or some families gather and do together.
Later, there will be temple of God, this should be held at the temple; however,
these festivals should not be bigger than the festival of worshiping to God and
Celestial Hierarchy. The festival can last in a day and there may be making merry
together but not entertainment or opera activities.
2- Three grateful festivals
* There are 3 grateful festivals in a year:
- Thank Father God’s Festival/Day on Jan. 9 according to lunar calendar
29

- Thank Teachers/Masters or Divine Beings or Guardian Angels’
Festival/Day: On Aug. 9 according to lunar calendar.
- Thank Supreme Queen Mother’s Festival/Day: On Dec.9 according to lunar
calendar.
This is applied the same to both the West and East.
Later in the Great Holiness time or when the conditions are allowed, these Grateful
Festivals are big festivals and may be diversified by the local customs. The
ceremony shall be done in the house and in the yard; people sing and dance,
together gather and eat, light up, release birds or the model of the earth, etc.
FESTIVALS TO OFFER SACRIFICES TO GOD - OFFERINGS TO GOD
These festivals are held in the days of shifting seasons
For a long time, religions and peoples in the world such as European people,
Australian, Japanese, etc. all treasure these sacred days.
Our Discipline defines these days should be the days to hold offering to God; the
altar can be held in the yard; the petition must be read; the fire is burnt and then
kowtow and read Thank King Father and Queen Mother Prayers. After that, you
can have simple parties and other activities such as light up the light, meditation,
camp-fire in the evening. If there is rain, there should be canvas. The similar
festivals of peoples and the old religions should be brought into play; there should
add an outside altar to offer to Father and Mother. The rituals should not be
complex and prolix.
- At the moment, the conditions are not allowed, there haven’t been any
associations of Celestialism, and you can make your own offering to King
Father God in the yard at your own will. Each family can do their own or
together with other families. Later, when there are temples of God, you can
hold at the temples of God. These festivals should be in a day and should not
be bigger than Grateful Festivals.
THANK KING FATHER GOD – QUEEN MOTHER AND OTHER
MASTERS IN THE HOLY TEMPLE OR THE TEMPLE OF GOD
ARRANGEMENT IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD
- The highest place is Sacred Hall –to worship God and the Three Palaces
- The central place is Assembly Hall– the place where dignitaries celebrate
the ceremony, which is a intermediate place; the clarinet and drum teams are
on the two sides; in the middle, there is a platform for expressing opinions
(stand forward);
30

- The lowest place is Kowtowing Hall: The place where the others sit or
genuflect, kowtow or arrange in lines
- Behind the temple, there are a guess house and a house for employees and
assistants; there is also a place for planting trees and flowers and storing
other equipments and facilities, which is called the the Back Building
In a year, there are three great Grateful Festivals lasting for 3 days of each;
the other festivals are smaller and there won’t be Big Parties for big
performances and each lasts for 1 day.
Arrangement on the Sacred Hall
- The highest place is the altar and on its left side is the Celestial Flag (behind is
the flagpole)
- There are two lines of small drums and bronze clarinets right below the altar
- Along the Assembly Hall and Kowtowing Hall:
+ Along left aisle, there is a Heavenly Army wearing golden armors, round
helmets with golden wood swords – symbolizing Heavenly Troops of
Celestial Holiness. Along the right aisle, there is A Heavenly Army wearing
red armors, round helmets with red wood swords – symbolizing Heavenly
Troops of Great Holiness. These soldiers stand majestically facing toward to
the entrance with a hand raising the sword and the other hand putting at his
hip
+ The dignitaries and priests stand in two lines below the altar, and the
followers/the faithfuls stand below them; men stand on the left side and
women stand on the right side when seeing from above. Their faces face
towards the altar.
If there are guests, let they sit on the top row
CERIMONIAL PROCEDURES
God allows unifying cerimonials procedures with Caodaism. This can
supplement later after establishing Great Holiness. Caodaism is unified in
Celestialism. King Father God’s Festival/Day and Queen Mother’s Festival/Day
are organized in this way; you should study more about this and match these
festivals and ceremonies. All of the rituals and procedures are carefully selected
and chosen for the long-term nature of Celestialism and Caodaism.
Because King Buddha descended on earth on the 9th of August according to lunar
calendar or on the 27th
of September according to Solar calendar at 9:00; all are
No.9; Celestial Hierarchy intentionally chose this day as the Masters’ Day (Thank
Teachers/Masters Festival) – The Third Aspect. In Caodaism, Thank Queen
Mother’s Festival/Day is on the 15th of August which is the same month as
Masters’ day so King Father God required to change Queen Mother’s Day/Festival
to 9th of December. Therefore, at the begining of the year, we have King Father’s
31

Day; in the year, we have Masters’ day and at the end of the year, we have Queen
Mother’s Day. Yang at the begining and Yin at the end are uninted and combined.
The middle is neutral – the child/the Third Aspect- the time King Buddha
descended on earth; His spirit is still in the Middle World or central world of Astral
Plane. Thus, choosing this day in the year is suitable.
In addition, God allows Caodaism to remain their ceremonials; they only need
to bring Celestial Eye into the biggest Circle of Celestial Ritual Sybol. That’s
the way to unify with Celestialism. You can keep your cultivation
methods/practical discipline. Celestial Discipline can be added into your Secret
Discipline, which means to widen your practical discipline. All the
scriptures/books of Celestial Way is directly taught by King Buddha. Father God
directly supplements this to Caodaism Reasoning so later Caodaism is a part of
Great Holiness. This is what Celestial Way teaches about Caodaism. Many
members of Caodaism will then reincarnate to build Great Holiness so you should
remember what I and Father have taught here.
However, you should understand that in the long term, all will be unified in
Celestial Way. This is God’s Plan
SOME GUIDANCE FOR MY CHILDREN IN CAODAISM AND
CELESTIAL WAY FOR YOUR FURTHER REFERENCE
- Read the Honouring Speech for declaring the ceremony. The content is at
your own’s disposal and may include members who join in.
After that is the offering part/ritual:
- Ceremonial Master says: Offering Ritual Starts! Burn candles and
incenses!
- Officiating Priest goes infront and burns the candles and incenses
- Ceremonial Master says:
+ Offer flowers! (9 kinds of flower – 9 people go along in the line and
offer respectfully)
+ Offer wine! (9 people go along in the line and carry wine on their head)
+ Offer tea! (9 people go along in the line and offer respectfully)
+ Offer fruits! (9 kinds of fruits – 9 people go in the line and offer
respectfully)
+ Offer cakes! (9 kinds of cakes – 9 people go along in the line and offer
respectfully)
After offering fruits, Officiating Priest pours wine and tea into 9 cups of each and
put on the altar.
+ Two lines of 27 virgins and unmarried young boys and girls (each line)
offer respectfully pure/vegetarian items and flowers which have been
selected. Offerings of delegations shall be offered by representatives: A
set of offerings includes 18 kinds of vegetarian candies, 18 kinds of
32

fruits, 18 bottles of water, 18 sticky rice cakes, 18 kinds of flower, 18
bottles of perfume, 18 divine mirrors, 72 white candles.
+ Officiating Priest arranges the offerings. Then virgin boys and girls
stand in 2 lines in order to sing Celestial Song.
Notice: On the altar, the order of offerings is set due to the order of delegations
(first come, first in), i.e, the first offering will be at higher position than the second
one. There are 7 tables of altar for 7 ranks. In these occasions, many Celestial
Souls/Beings, local divine beings and Heavenly Troops in higher worlds and
realms all come down so the offerings must be sufficient.
Play musical instruments and drums when offering the items
OFFERING PROCEDURE
Ceremonial Master says: Sacrificial Ceremony to Great King Father God
starts!
Officiating Priest steps back to the centre (to Assembly Hall)
Officiating Priest says: We entreat with all of our respect to King Father, Queen
Mother and the Higher Palaces descending on earth (no prostrating)
Ceremonial Master says: Hoist the Celestial Flag up!
After hoisting up the Celestial Flag, Officiating Priest says: Celestial Song of
Great Holiness respectfully dedicates to King Father God!
Then two lines of virgin boys and girls start to sing the Celestial Song.
Celestial Song
Great Holiness of Celestial Spirit enlightens us eternally
When we go to the Great Unity
The sun lights up with sparkle beams
Supreme Truth is given by Father with pure aspiration
We are grateful eternally to angels descending on the earth
Humanity ascends to the brilliant Great Way

Blessing bestowned by Father is spread worldwide
A thousand words urge us to progress, to fight
To construct five Continents, to unite the world
They are accompanied with the drums and musical instruments. After finishing the
song, play nine drumrolls and clarinet. Then stop the drum and the music.
Ceremonial Master says: Everyone sits down
Ceremonial Master says: Read sacrificial oration
Officiating Priest genuflects to read sacrificial oration
Sacrificial oration is actually petition but longer.
THE LATER PART OF THE FESTIVAL
After the procedure of ritual offering, people can read poems, have parties, sing or
dance, etc.
This depends on each local place; later in Great Holiness time, you can hold big
festivals. Thank King Father God’s Festival/Day and Thank Queen Mother’s
Festival/Day can last in 3 days; the others last in 1 day.
• Thank Queen Mother’s Festival/Day is held similar to Thank King Father’s
Festival/Day. The only difference is that Thank Queen Mother Prayer is read
instead.
34

• Masters/Teachers’ Festival/Day (Guardian Angels or Divine Beings in
general) is similar to Thank King Father’s Festival/Day. The only difference
is reading Thank Masters Prayer
Thank Masters Prayer
Evolve in millions of years, the myriad sentient beings

1. Procedure: Announce the death, form the committee/department of funeral,
etc. (according to local custom)

there are not any chillis. On the surface of the coffin, put 72 betel leaves.
Feng shui around must be airy in order to dispel dank and cold air.
4. Announce the funeral

person to symbolize the soul of the dead. Prepare a plate of salt and a plate of
rice.
2- Use the petition to report to the Council which manages the souls of the
dead, the Supreme Spiritual Council of Celestial Society and the Council
of the ruler of the underworld about the dead person. The content is as
follows.
- The sample is as guided before
37

- The content of the petition is as follows.
Respectfully entreat to invite the Council which manages the souls of
the dead, the Supreme Spiritual Council of Celestial Society and the
Council of the ruler of the underworld
Call out the dead person’s name and reason for the death; Then
respectfully ask Divine Beings/Spirits to escort the soul of the dead to
higher realms of Astral Plane/Middle World so as the devils cannot
lead that soul astray to the evil way or suffering places. For the sinful
ones, ask the Council of the ruler of the underworld consider and carry
out.
3- Put on the altar a red and long fiber which is the fiber to dispel bad karmas
and a regenerate talisman made by paper. This is to dispel bad karm and dirty
astral of the dead so as to purify the soul. The Regenerate talisman is used to
suppress and destroy evils which try to lead the soul astray; this also helps to
liberate the dead person’s soul. At the same time, this can help not to cause a
period of mourning that comes unexpectedly while another is taking place.
- After reading the petition and praying, cut that red fiber and then tie
shorter parts in 2 wrists and ankles and waist (chakra 2 position) while the
protecting talisman is put in the dead person’s forehead.

realm.
38

MAKE SACRED WATER FOR PURPOSES OF GRANTING A
FAVOUR AND DISPELING BAD KARMAS.
Ceremonial Master or Priest use 8 cups of water which have been used to
offer to King Father on Father’s altar and then grind 3 iron nails at the same
time and put into such water. The effect of iron nails is to protect and is a
derivative. Our blood could not create erythrocyte without iron. Iron helps to dispel
and destroy dirty astral energy. Pray the following mantra to the water:
“Guadian Gignitaries Protect and Regenerate- divine army of stars which
manage the fate please protect and escort the soul of the dead to his/her right
realm- Please do not let that soul be led astray to the evil way – Please dispel the
bad karmas and evils parts in the soul and the dead body. May the light and
peace shine upon the soul and dispel bad karmas! May the soul evolve and stay
in higher realms of peace and happiness; Forbid going to dark and evil realms
or meeting other bad souls!”
Read this 8 times.
After reading the petition, dispense the Sacred Water to dispel the bad karmas.
Use sacred water to dot 18 points on the dead body as follows. Chakra 1-2-3-4-5-
6-7 in front, Shen Ting Point on the forehead, 2 eyes, 2 Feng Fu Points back of
the neck, Tian Zong point (below the shoulders), 2 Zhang Men points near 2
sides, 2 Jing Men Points near 2 hips and the last point is on San Yin Jiao Point
on 2 legs which were tied before.
- Ceremonial Master/Priest has to remember all the points. All the
family members of the dead have stand 2 sides.
- After doing all of these steps, Ceremonial Master/Priest takes a red
gourd and put up above the dead body’s head and then pray: Collect and take all
bad karmas to here- Dispel – Dispel – Dispel – Disappear!
RETRIEVE CELESTIAL DISCIPLINE
PRAY AND VISUALIZE CELESTIAL RITUAL SYSMBOL GO IN THE DEAD
BODY
Pray in silence: “Celestial Ritual Symbol of this soul goes in the dead body to
retrieve Celestial Discipline. The Guardian Angels which protect the souls
execute!”
(This also applies to those who do not practice Celestial Discipline so the guardian
angels shall come down to protect the soul).
- For those who are not a member of Celestial Way, Celestial Hierarchy also
allows them to implement these procedures in transitional stage so that the souls
of the dead can be quickly liberated and won’t be led astray to the evil way; thus,
Celestial Discipline Disciples can be temporarily Ceremonial Masters/Priests for
40

sentient beings; Celestial Hierarchy will approve their work/effort of soul
salvation and their karma will be better. Such souls will be thankful for their help
too.
REQUIEM
After dispensing the Sacred Water to dispel the bad karmas, Ceremonial
Master/Priest start to do requiem.
All family members and descendants, first-born or a representative do the
ceremony to pick up 3 candles and put them on a table next to the dead person.
These 3 candles must be lightened up right after he or she is dead so that his or her
soul can be leaned on.
Put these soul candles on a white plate and then take it to Falther’s altar at a
position lower than the other 7 candles.
If the dead person is a woman, this plate is put to the left side (looking from
outside) and vice versa, if the dead person is a man, it is put to the right side.
All members return in front of Father’s altar, stand up and read THANK KING
FATHER GOD PRAYER and THANK QUEEN MOTHER PRAYER. After that,
all members kowtow 9 times.
After finishing reading these 2 prayers, Ceremonial Master/Priest writes down the
following prayer on a paper and reads:
“Thank you, Father and Mother for creating the soul of this person. We
respectfully entreat the Council which manages the souls of the dead, the
Supreme Spiritual Council of Celestial Society and the Council of the ruler of the
underworld to take this soul back to go on learning, practicing and cultivating for
better evolution. We wish this soul to be liberated and be grateful to King Father
God and Queen Mother and be eager to show gratitude towards Father and
Mother so as to try to cultivate and achieve a feat for Great Holiness”.
Later, put this paper next to the Soul Candles of the dead. (Later, the picture of
the dead may be put under the Celestial Ritual Symbol and Soul Candles can be
replaced by electric candles or the soul can be leaned on such paper. This
ceremony is used temporarily for you at the moment. Later in Great Holiness
time, we do not worship the dead and at home, there is not any other altar but the
altar of Father and Mother).
THEN READ THE SALVATION PRAYER FOR THE SOUL.
Salvation Prayer
“Dear soul …(name) “
When you were still alive as a human being
Blessings, misfortune even the predestination, misery here-below
Soul in different reincarnations

REQUIEM FOR ONE OR MANY SOULS
The procedure is similar to the above steps; you can offer offerings and set up a
table for worshipping God outside of the house.
Lighten up Souls Candles; each candle is for each soul; if you don’t know exactly
the numbers of souls which you would like to do requiem, lighten up 72 white
candles and then do the steps and read the prayer as above.

Later, these nine ceremonials are immutable and must be strictly implemented
without any breaking.
Worship Father at home, cultivate at home, unify both the Way and the life and

mysterious; spiritual science is taken seriously by us; there is no superstition here.

THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN GREAT HOLINESS TIME
The temple of King Father God must be built in a peaceful and quiet place. This
place is not the place for gathering, studying or teaching, which is called the
HOLY TEMPLE. Three directions around except for the front direction need
peace; there must be green trees and flowers around all the four seasons. There
needs also artificial oasis, artificial stream and big aquarium. The way to make a
temple of God is illustrated in Celestial Laws (The Laws of Celestial Ways); what
you need to pay attention is that you shall make the Temple in Round/Conical
Pyramid Form-Egyptian Style with many storeys and 8 stairs; the top of the temple
is usually gradual pointed but be careful of lightning. In the temple, there is a Back
Building for purposes of placing worshipping objects and managing the temple.
There is a wide Sacred Hall for Shrine/Sanctuary in which the highest place is to
hang Celestial Ritual Symbol made from engraved wood, stone, gold or white
quartz with the length of 1m72 and the width of 72 cm. The biggest Circile is with
the diameter of 42 cm and the smaller circles are with the diameter of 36 cm. The
diameter of the cirle lying in the biggest circle is 18 cm while the diameter of the
circles sitting in the smaller circle is 12 cm. The thickness of Celestial Ritual
Symbol is 7 cm. The stars are floatedly engraved and set properly. The thickness of
stars is less than the one of the middle cirle.
To the left and below Celestial Ritual Symbol, there has a Celestial Flag and to the
right and below Celestial Ritual Symbol, there hangs National Flag.
Celestial Ritual Symbol is hung higher than the altar 81 cm.
Below is an incense-table with thrones (Similar to Vietnamese or Chinese customs)
in which the middle throne is of King Father; the right throne is of Queen Mother
(or Mother-Buddha according to Caodaism or Tantrism; the left throne is of
Dragon Flower Master- King Buddha.
At the lower place, put 9 candles and imperial equipages of divine spirits. Below
this place is 9 candles and imperial equipages of the 9 following divine beings:
Divine Being No.1 –THE DEITY OF WISDOM – The world of wisdom and
success – goddess – Red imperial equipage
Divine Being No.2 –CREATION – Life-sustaining element creates and nourish
all sentient beings. Both Yin and Yang depends on the state - The world of extreme
happiness and bliss –The Guardian Angel of humanity – The highest divine being
right below God.
Divine Being No.3 – HAPPINESS (BLISS) – Fulfil happiness – The world of
perfection and achievement – goddess – pink and indigo-blue imperial equipage
Divine Being No.4 – PEACEFULLNESS AND QUIETNESS – The world of
successful peacefulness– goddess – yellow imperial equipage
44

Divine Being No.5 – LIBERATION – No greed, no craving – Bliss and Peace –
Total Liberation – No fighting, no jealousy, no suffering – The world of no
affliction – goddess – sky-blue imperial equipage
Divine Being No. 6 – GOOD FORTUNE – The world of Ante-Creation –
goddness – violet imperial equipage
Divine Being No. 7 – MULTIPLYING – assembly, united and multiple spirits –
goddess – The world of united high spirits – white imperial equipage
Divine Being No.8 – HAPPINESS AND VIRTUE – The world of Primordial
Mother – goddess – black imperial equipage
Divine Being No. 9 – POSITION AND FAME - and also divine being of
enforcement – Special Envoy of the above 9 divine beings – The world of
heavenly kings – Without 8 above features, position and fame and obligation
cannot become good luck and happiness; everything becomes meaningless; the life
has no value. Position and fame and good fortune must go along with duties.
These 9 divine beings are the avatars of God extracted to the lower worlds to save
sentiment beings and life and to ensure the existence of humanity in Great Holiness
time.
(This is 9 states of Great Unity-Great Holiness World from above and here below).
The next lower position is to place 9 sets of imperial equipage to honour 72 Divine
Saints who establish Celestial Way. Each imperial equipage is to worship each
Saint.
What is imperial equipage? It’s a 8-storey pyramid with the height of 40 cm and
the diameter of 40 cm made from wood, copper, gold, silver or quartz and similar
to Wenchang Tower. It has a round and big top and a stand which help to make it
strong.
On the tray, there is a wooden or quartz sphere.
Below the sphere, there lays a set of incense plug; do not need an incense bowl;
only use frankincense, not the black type.
Assembly Hall is the place for speaking and singing. In the middle, there is a
flagpole to hoist Celestial Flag when implementing the ceremony. The height of
the flagpole is about 5 meters and the height of the Flag is about 2 meters. Of
course, this should be measured in accordance with the height of the Sacred
Temple and should not be compulsory.
Kowtowing Hall is the place where people can come and join the ceremony. They
must sit in 2 lines as in Caodaism.
Outside and infront of the temple: There is a gate which can be designed at your
own disposal. This gate is a separate one outside and not a part of the pyramid
form.
45

Along the two main paths of the temple, there is a small garden for planting
flowers and trees and for putting bench or small landscape. The front yard must be
spacious with the capacity of several thousands of people.
Can you worship statue and photo? No, you cannot worship statues or photos of
anyone including the Celestial Head Master. The photos of Celestial Head Master
of Celestial Way and other Saints can be placed at the Museum of Celestial Way;
these should be small and put in the garden.
At the formal place outside, there can place the statue of King Buddha Maitreya.
However, this is not compulsory. No incense bowl around and the outside place is
for planting flowers and trees. No other statue there. Try to find ways to call birds
come and build their nests in the garden so as to create vital force for the temple.
