向外
今晚子時接駕圓滿，宮主該呈上諸位的功過。回去東方所做的一切功過，皆由金闕祖師親自操撥、裁決。
你們只管勇敢向前，不必理會旁人的眼光與閒語。祖師選擇你們，是因為你們有膽識，願意承擔；若只因害怕背負天命之責，那又怎配稱為「金闕勇將」？
這一課，是每位金闕弟子都該深思的課題。
修行固然首重自保，但也要懂得拿捏時機，知何時該為天地出力、勇往直前。每一次的試煉，都是在考驗你們：面對大敵當前，是否還守護著金闕祖師的威光。
若你們隨祖師走了這麼多年，卻仍懼這畏那，又如何堪用？
對祖師的讚美，無需多言，真正重要的，是用行動展現你們的誠信。人的道力高低，終究會反映在他的運勢與命運之中。
祖師論功行賞，絕對分明，讓人有感——願意承擔者，必勝過只為私利而行的人；誠心為宮付出的人，自然能體會不同層次的賞賜與功勳。
農曆三月下旬，幾位祖師的聖壽將至：
• 千手祖師親自牽引，助你們步步前行；
• 太陽神君祖師光耀全身，護佑你們走上金光大道；
• 東嶽祖師解冤消債，助你們排解無形之災。
好好把握這些聖日，為自己補福消災，遠離暗劫。這才是真正拜神的智者——而非一味求財、逐利，那樣的信仰，未免太過庸俗。
⸻
向內
金闕祖師的法門千變萬化，但萬變不離其宗。金闕的核心修持，離不開燒金化銀、解冤償債。
無論祖師如何以「移花接木」的方式為你們化解災劫，你們依然要靠燒金來了結自身的業報。金闕宮每年度所燒金量數量之多，除了答謝天恩犒賞兵將 ，其中一部分也是祖師為免你們承擔不必要的業障，或代人受過。
若你們修煉之力足夠，自然能有能力「降神逐鬼」。此次返台所辦的數件要事，不正印證了你們的道力？恰如《玉皇真經》第三品所述——「降神逐鬼」之妙力！
你們是在為祖師奮戰，也是在行自己的天命。凡是勇於承擔天命者，金闕諸祖師必親自護持，不讓你們替他人背業。但累世自身的因果，仍需親自償還，這是宇宙法則，並無例外。
學道之人，當以正念正行為基，祖師才能牽引你們往更高處邁進。若一意偏行、明知故犯，神明亦難挽救。
當修持至更高境界，便會領悟「降神逐鬼」的真正威力——你們所說的每一句話，都能傳至無形界，讓神鬼感知。人的誠信與德行，是無形界最能感應的頻率，唯有言行一致，方能令其信服。
你們歸來，不僅是重啟一段旅程，更是重新踏出嶄新的一哩路，引領新進弟子走上正道。
願意隨行者，祖師必親手引領。你們的道路將無礙，所行之處更能「降神逐鬼」，威靈顯赫。
叩主隆恩

Evening Prayer Text — 14th Day of the 3rd Lunar Month, Year of Yisi (乙巳)
Outward ：
Tonight at the midnight hour, the welcoming of the Divine was completed. The master has to present everyone‘s deeds and merits. All will now be judged and governed directly by Zu Shi.
You need only press forward with courage—do not be swayed by others’ opinions or gossip. Zu Shi chose you because you have the courage to undertake responsibility. If one shies away from the weight of a divine mission, how can they be called a “Brave General of Chin Chueh Gung”?
This is a profound lesson for every disciple of Chin Chueh to reflect upon.
While cultivation begins with learning to protect oneself, one must also know when to rise for Heaven and Earth without retreat. Every trial is a test: when facing great adversities, will you still stand to uphold the might of the Zu Shi?
If you have followed Chin Chueh Zu Shi for so many years yet still remain timid and hesitant—how can you be entrusted with greater responsibilities?
Words of praise for Chin Chueh Zu Shi are unnecessary. What matters most is demonstrating your sincerity through action. A person’s spiritual strength will ultimately manifest in their fate and destiny.
Zu Shi‘s rewards are never without distinction—you will surely feel them. Those who dare to bear responsibility will always surpass those who act solely for selfish gain. Those who sincerely serve the Temple will come to understand the different levels of reward and merit.
In the latter part of this lunar month, several Patriarchal birthdays are approaching:
• The Thousand-Armed Guan Yin will take your hand and guide your steps.
• The Sun God will shine upon your entire being, safeguarding your path along the Golden Road.
• The Dong Yueh Zu Shi will help dissolve your karmic debts and unresolved grievances.
Seize these sacred days to replenish your blessings, dispel disasters, and dissolve unseen calamities. This is the path of the wise who revere the divine—not those who seek only wealth or gain. To worship solely for material prosperity is far too mundane a pursuit.
⸻
Inward
The Chin Chueh Zu Shi’s teachings are ever-changing, yet never depart from their true lineage. At the heart of Chin
Chueh practice lies the burning of spiritual gold and silver paper money, to resolve karmic debts and release grievances.
No matter how Zu Shi employs the mystical method of “transferring misfortune,” you must still burn offerings to personally clear your karmic burdens. The vast amount of spiritual gold burned annually in Chin Chueh Temple is not only an offering of gratitude and honor to the divine soldiers—it also serves to prevent you from taking on unnecessary burdens or others’ karmic weight.
If your cultivation is strong, you will possess the power to summon deities and expel spirits. The important spiritual missions recently carried out in Taiwan are clear proof of this—your spiritual strength echoes the words of the Third Chapter of the Jade Emperor Scripture: the power to “summon gods and banish demons.”
You are fighting for Zu Shi’s honor, but you are also fulfilling your own divine destiny. Those who bravely carry out their celestial mission will surely be protected by
Zu Shi. They will not allow you to bear the karma of others. But know this—your own karmic debts from countless past lives still must be repaid. This is universal law, and no one is exempt.
True disciples must walk the path of right thought and right action, so Zu Shi can guide them to higher spiritual realms. If one knowingly strays from the path and refuses to return, even the divine cannot save them.
When your cultivation reaches a deeper level, you will come to realize the true power of summoning and banishing. Every word you speak is heard by the unseen world—spirits and deities alike. They are attuned to sincerity and virtue. Only when words align with actions will they believe and respond to you.
Your return is not merely the continuation of an old journey—it is the beginning of a new spiritual chapter. You are meant to lead others onto the right path.
Those who are willing to follow will be guided by the Patriarch’s own hand. Your path will become clear, and wherever you go, the power to summon and banish will follow. Divine authority will manifest.
With deepest gratitude to Zu Shi
