A wooden board showing directions on exactly how to interact with God stood just outside the primary temple hall. My buddies gathered in front of the board while trying to believe of the perfect concerns to ask God as well as excitedly anticipating whether the response would be Yes, No, or Maybe. however before they might come up with any, one more buddy invited us to check out the rest of the Cebu Taoist temple complex.

Architecture as well as Design
The temple complex, they say, can be accessed via three separate winding paths. We went into the site with a little Chinese door that available to a winding stairway that leads to a gazebo as well as one more stairway, which then leads to the primary temple facade. If I’m not mistaken, the pathway that appears like the fantastic wall of China, next to a huge statue of a dragon, is one more entrance. I don’t understand where the other gain access to point is however that leaves me something to come back to this location for.

If my nape might talk, it would have complained so much during my go to to the temple however I’m quite sure my eyes were extremely satisfied. I just might not assist however look up as well as let my eyes linger at the many vibrant as well as fascinating details that paint a great scenery.
Chinese dragons stand on the temple’s roofs like protectors as well as sentinels of the site. Their eco-friendly scales as well as yellow accents matched the blue skies that seemed to shift when white clouds move when seen from the base of the temple. The dragons look like they, themselves, interact with God. The edges of the roofs produce blue waves in a sea of white — the ceiling — which is lifted by glossy crimson columns as well as beams, striping a white soffit as well as ceiling.
The cornered spandrels between columns are intricately painted red as well as eco-friendly pictures of suns, vines, thorns, animals, as well as frets. even the gables beneath the top roof are painted with — hmm, I’m not truly sure what to make of them however they look like — animal faces with bright eyes as well as twirly tops as well as clouds. Red as well as white lanterns hang from soffit, perhaps to illuminate the crimson colonnade as well as porches at night. A huge old bell hangs in one corner of the porch.

Wash your hands (which symbolizes cleanliness)
אוֹרמקל ג’וס, כורע ברך בזמן שהחזיק את מקל הג’וס בשתי הידיים, כמו גם הנחיות לבקש כמו גם הארה
החזיקו שני אבני עץ שטוחות כלפי מעלה
שאל את הדאגה שלך או ציין את רצונך אחד בכל פעם
זרוק את אבני העץ כמו גם ראה את תשובתו של אלוהים.
עיין בתמונה זו כדי לראות מה המשמעות של עמדות גושי העץ כמו גם לחשוף את תשובתו של אלוהים.
1 שטוח, 1 חצי סיבוב = כן !!! 2 חצי סיבובים = לא! 2 דירות = אולי
אבל לפני שאתה הולך לצלם דאגות אישיות כמו גם משאלות, עליך לשאול קודם את אלוהים אם אתה מקבל אינטראקציה עם אלוהים. בצע את אותו נוהל בדיוק לעיל. אם כן, כעת תוכל לשאול את הדאגה שלך או לציין את משאלתך. אם לא, חזור עוד יום אחד. אם אולי, אז הדאגה או הרצון שלך לא הסר במיוחד אז הקל גם על שאל שוב.

לרוע המזל עבור הקבוצה שלנו, אף אחד מאיתנו לא הצליח לעשות זאת מכיוון שלקחנו כל כך הרבה זמן לבדוק את המתחם כמו גם לצלם את השיטה שלא זיהינו שהגיע הזמן שנלך.
