[Singapore] A Taoist priest is often seen performing rituals, prayers or even at funerals, but that’s not his only task. He should be in search for the Tao (the way). From there he will guide the devotees to understand what the religion is preaching, and how they can apply it in their daily life, how to accept every challenges and how they should conduct oneself. While some of these priests live in seclusion, there are also many who live among the populace and serve the temples. Like this priest shown in the picture is Master Huang Xin Cheng (黄信成道长) who came from the White Cloud Temple (白云观) in Beijing, he is an ordained priest of the Dragon Gate Sect of the Complete Perfection School (道教全真龙门派), he has been serving in the Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple since 2000. Many people misunderstood that the scriptures used in the rituals are meant for the deities or the ghosts to bless them for a windfall but that is pretty untrue, most of what was written in the scriptures are in fact meant for the devotees because the priest is just like a teacher in the school, the scriptures are the textbooks, and the devotees are the students. And what is the Tao? According to Tao Te Ching (《道德经》), the fundamental text for Taoism traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi (老子), the first sentence from of the first chapter said: ”The rule of universe (can be referred to as the Tao) can be told, but the rule alway change; the name of everything can be named, but the name is not forever.” (道可道，非常道；名可名，非常名.) 📍Singapore.🇸🇬 . . . #singapore #singaporeinsta #hellofrom #sgphotocommunity #welcometosingapore #taoism #priest #religious #humanstories #peopleinframe #visualambassadors #singaporeig #ilovesg #sgphoto #sglife #sonysingapore #sonyalpha7iii #sonyimages #citygrammers #fatalframes #clickcity #singaporecity #urbangathering #gramslayers #depthobsessed #visualgrams #365daychallenge #urbanisation #creartmood #exploresg
