虔诚的善信


无时无刻,您都能在三巴旺天后宫感受到善信的热心。那种虔诚,尽在不言,无不触动您的内心最深处。。。。

那时,二月初,年关近了,眼见隔邻的庙宇都紧锣密鼓的筹备着,五彩缤纷的旗帜和布条都纷纷挂上,处处张灯结彩更不在话下。
为何天后宫仍不见有所行动?无他,低调的天后宫,沉默的理事们,仍在为庞大的建筑费一筹莫展,如何能安下心来迎接新年?在财神庙与蓬莱殿的对比下,天后宫更如寒风过处,单衣伫立。然后,有善信送来了一台油灯(图示)取代了那个用厚纸皮搭起、中间放了一个饼干桶充当的油灯。又有署名“神心女士”(方言:诚心的意思)送来的两棵四季桔。再有,燕之屋送来了一箱箱“旺”字饼干、詹花园送来了数十盆的鲜花。。。。。虽然,风有点冷,热心肠的善信却不忘送来了温馨。
所以说:三巴旺天后宫处处都是人情味。
谢谢您们!大家新年快乐!

槟城百年妈祖掉泪


在地铁站破例买了一份报纸,报纸上的大标题:“槟城百年妈祖掉泪”。在天后宫工作了2年,和妈祖已有一份不能分割的感情,心弦不禁被紧紧牵动。。。。妈祖,为何落泪?

(槟城讯)槟城百年妈祖掉泪
据了解被发现“流泪”的是马来西亚 - 高渊樟角“天后圣母宫”内供奉百年的妈祖雕像。日前被善信发现垂泪现象,神明到底有何隐示,急坏了该宫的理事们。

该宫理事连木存先生透露,善信第一次发现时,只见妈祖神像的右眼有一滴泪珠,但在星期日(4.2.2007)上午,该庙值年协理魏振文先生发现妈祖的眼泪已往下垂至脸颊。许多善信因此纷纷前往争睹这一罕见怪异现象,一时造成轰动。

类似的事件时有所闻,究竟是妈祖显灵,还是另有乾坤?不得而知。神像为什么总会落泪?如果科学给与解释,又为何水份会从眼睛部位渗出呢?听说隔邻财神庙内供奉的财神,神像的胡子也会长长,真匪夷所思。

一首歌(朱哲琴主唱)

Mazu and Mazu Culture

Over 1,000 years ago, a beautiful young girl by the name of Lin Mu was born at the Xianliang Port of Meizhou Bay in Putian, Fujian Province. Clever, brave and kind-hearted, Lin Mu could forecast the weather and was happy to help fishermen in distress at sea. She encouraged the people to conquer nature and defeat evil, so she was much loved and esteemed by the people in her hometown. Unfortunately she died an early death at only 28. As the legend goes, she ascended to heaven and became an immortal at Meizhou Bay located opposite to the Xianliang Port.

For more over 1,000 years, she has been living, with a composed and tender smile, in the hearts of the people. The people pay homage to her, respectfully calling her fairy, the daughter of dragon, goddness, the mother or Mazu ( a title of respect for an aged woman): rulers of past dynasties upheld her and granted her the titles of "Lady", "Heavenly Queen" and "Holy Mother"; the times have bestowed her a series of loveable and respected names such as "Goddess of the Sea", "Goddness of the the Straits" and "Goddess of Peace of the Straits".
She is none other than the world-renowned Mazu, goddess of the sea, of Fujian, China.
The respect for Mazu has turned into a wide-spread belief with the passage of time. Following the footprints of sea merchants and overseas Chinese, Mazu went out of Putian, out of Fujian and out of China, making her presence in many corners of Asia, America, Australia and Europe. Consequently, over 1,500 Mazu temples are found all over the world, where Muzu from Meizhou are consecrated. The belief in Mazu has become a sort of transnational folk belief with more than 100 million worshippers. However, different from a religion in the ordinary sense, is a special kind of ideology connected with theology, religion, folklore, sociology as well as the history of sea commnication overseas Chinese, culture and the development of Fujian and Taiwan. This is the culture of Mazu which has aroused an extensive interest and great attention of Chinese and foreign scholars and is now under integral part of the culture of the Chinese nation and a part of the brilliant civilization of China.


In recent years, there are a number of academic groups, experts and scholars working on research of Mazu and published special works on the subject in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao regions and in such countries as Japan, the United States, France, Singapore and Malaysia. The research on the Mazu culture has a great appeal and cohesive force to the Chinese both at home and abroad. Now the achievements in the research on the Mazu culture have become valuable material in the research on the history of navigation, science, overseas Chinese, development of off-shore islands and economic and cultural exchanges with foreign countries as well as the history of folklore and religion of ancient China.
