Getting Rid of the Back Stabbers (Xiao Ren)
This Ceremony/Ritual focuses on ridding of the "Da Xiao Ren" (action/ritual on beating on paper-drawing human figure to get rid of all back-stabbers). People often wonder if seeing this if it is needed when asking a Daoist Master: Usually the answer that the person get in-return is: "Of course it's a MUST and sure MUST and a DEFINITELY MUST..."And why is a must, nobody knows neither the one who perform such a ritual doesn't know much.But such a ritual is not necessary as long as a person stands upright, no evil-doings or so, such a ritual is an extra. Beating of Xiao Ren is just an action that helps a person to lessen the burden in their mentality (helping them to keep their mind in ease of people putting harm on them or so).So what are the necessary actions that involved while a person is engaged in such a ritual? Here are some simple steps:
1. prepare a set of joss papers with a paper human figure, a tiger, a scholar, a horse and a red paper with many printed figures.
2. make all necessary requests in front of the Lord of Tiger (Hu Ye)
3. engage ritual masters/leaders to perform the beating of Xiao Ren (paper human figure), if a person knows the name or DOB, can always write them down on the human figure before the ritual starts
4. allow the master/leader to start the ritual by asking you certain questions (some don't ask)
5. ritual start, you will see the master/leader using a clog or slipper to beat hard onto the human figure and do certain chanting or sentences reciting (some can be very misleading and harsh, some can even used crude remarks like dying, handicapped, etc)
6. after the ritual, the master/leader will advise you to burn off the human figure (if still in good shape) with the pile of joss papers (including the tiger figure)
7. the scholar, horse and red paper must be retain and needed to be paste on the wall beside the Lord of Tiger altar, allowing the Lord of Tiger to give you the necessary blessing
8. after pasting the papers onto the wall, the ritual considers complete
9. come back to the temple next year for thanks-givingAnd so, after such a ritual, a person will get fortune, rich or protected from rumors? This is up to individual. One thing for sure, what ever you have done to the other party, the other party will sure have do something in-return to you and so, this cycle will not end until one side "disappear" from this "cruel world".
