Worshipping Gods

Worshipping Gods at San-Sen Temple

        San-Sen Temple is located within Nan-Xing Village, and is an important location for the residents. The reason why Guan Sheng Di Jun is the main God worshipped can be traced back to 1935. Ju-Mon Chang carved Guan Sheng Di Jun, Fu You Di Jun, Si Ming Chen Jun, Guan Yin Da Shi and Tai Shang Lao Jun, and enshrined them to four different households in Nan-Ping Village. They began preaching, and named the hall Xi Shan Tang.

        In 1943, the first hall manager Ju Chang passed away, and had De He Chang took over the position. He moved the Gods to his own household, and continued preaching to save all living creatures. When the position was passed on to the third hall manager Shu Yang, people felt that the Gods were efficacious, and wanted to build a temple as a location of celebration and praying for the residents. The forth hall manager Ping Wu chose the current location to build the temple with the donation from all the believers.

        The construction began in 1962. All the Gods were brought into the temple in 1964. All the believers were thrilled with the completion. In 1966, Wan Shou Gong and Qian Qiu Ge were built in from of the main hall to worship Yao Chi Jin Mu and He Xiang Gu. In 1968, Xie Tian Bao Dian on the second floor was built to expand the temple.

        San Sen Temple has neat and tidy stone pillars, with writing “We treasure the opportunity to learn together, and we must grow from the heart. We need to continue the good deeds accomplished by the sages and the virtuous.” “The three Gods had sent us messages with regards to the purpose of our lives, we need to make ourselves better to complete the mission.” The main hall is a very serious place, and only the Bai Ting is opened to the public normally. Guan Sheng Di Jun, Fu You Di Jun, Si Ming Chen Jun, Xuan Tian Shan Di and Wen Chang Di Jun are worshipped in the main shrine to express sympathy and solicitude for the public with their eyes slightly closed. The left shrine is for Chao Da Yuan Shuai who rides a white horse. The right shrine is for Fu De Cheng Shen who seeks peace and comfort for the people. Further in on the left is the office, and on the right is another shine that worship Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa and Di Zang Wong Pu Sa, who save those who are weak and suffering.
