祭拜与供品 - OFFERINGS

Rahu, 我们俗称的天狗,是泰国与印度所推崇的. 他掌管了我们的起起落落,他赏罚分明,如果我们做了不道德的事,他就会惩罚我们,让我们的日子不那么的顺利.相反的如果我们诚心地祈求他的原谅,改过,那么他必然对我们有求必应. 这也是为什么有很多人会有"怕"他的感觉.
其实只要我们用虔诚的心去拜他,不要做违背良心与道德的事,我想满天神佛都不会不保佑我们吧! 心里有佛最重要.当然如果环境允许,我们当然可以在每个星期三晚上带着装样黑色的物品去拜忌他,虔诚的祈求他原谅我们所犯的错,保佑我们一切都顺利.

何谓8样黑色的物品呢? 我看过庙里面所准备的包括了,
8 Black offerings for praying during wednesday night includes,
  1. 皮蛋 (BLACK EGG)
  2. 黑糯米 (BLACK RICE)
  3. 黑布丁 (BLACK CUSTARD)
  4. 黑仙草 (BLACK GRASS JELLY)
  5. 黑啤酒 (BLACK LIQUOR)
  6. 黑豆(BLACK BEAN)
  7. 黑咖啡 (BLACK COFFEE)
  8. 黑葡萄 (BLACK GRAPES to replace black chicken) 取代以往用的黑鸡.

当然拜拜用的香,花还有蜡烛也是黑的,我们最好也避免穿着红色的衣服因为RAHU不喜欢红,所以,能免则免.

Of course, the incense, candles and flowers used for offering will be in black and devotees are advised not to wear any RED outfit during prayers, this is because Rahu is known to dislike the colour RED.
