Many people are familiar with the term “Pi Chong” (Year of Conflict with Tai Sui) and have probably heard it many times. Many believe that if their zodiac sign conflicts with the year’s Tai Sui, they may experience bad luck. Therefore, they choose to make merit or pray to resolve Pi Chong for peace of mind. One of the first temples that people think of for this purpose is Leng Noei Yi Temple, also known as Wat Mangkon Kamalawat. Leng Noei Yi 1 is located in Yaowarat, while Leng Noei Yi 2, officially named Wat Borom Racha Kanchana Phisek Anusorn, is located in Nonthaburi. Both temples are popular places where people come throughout the year, whether to resolve Pi Chong or to pray for good fortune and blessings in life. Today, we would like to introduce the steps for resolving Pi Chong, especially for anyone who is planning to try it for the first time and is not sure where to begin.
Five Steps to Resolve Pi Chong at Leng Noei Yi 2
If you are planning to come and resolve Pi Chong, you should begin by placing your fortune record with Tai Sui so that the deity may protect you. After entering the temple, the first place you will see at the front is where you can buy a Pi Chong fortune record set. Please take off your shoes and place them in the bag provided by the temple before purchasing the set. Then, follow these steps: 1.Fill in the fortune record form with your full name, age, date of birth, and time of birth. If you do not know your time of birth, write “Dee”. 2.Take the Pi Chong fortune record set to the altar of Tai Sui on the second floor of the Hall of the Four Heavenly Kings. 3.Recite the prayer provided in the fortune record set to ask for the deity’s protection. 4.Brush the fortune record set over your body from your head to your feet 12 times. 5.Place the fortune record set into the fortune record cabinet.
Recommended Order of Worship
For those whose zodiac sign is in Pi Chong, after paying respect to Tai Sui, it is recommended to continue by paying respect to Ji Mui Chae Kung, Guan Yu, and Sun Wukong, whose shrines are located on the right-hand side next to the Tai Sui worship area, to pray for better fortune. Then, walk straight ahead to pay respect to the temple’s principal Buddha images, the Three Buddhas representing the Past, Present, and Future. After that, continue to the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Hall, then go up to the fourth floor to pay respect to the Ten Thousand Buddhas at the Hall of the Ten Thousand Buddhas of Sukhavati. Finally, go down to the ground floor to pay respect to the Emerald Buddha, another image of Guanyin, and the statue of the former abbot of Leng Noei Yi 2.
For general visitors who wish to pay their respects, you may begin at any worship point. However, most people choose to first pay respect to the Heaven and Earth Deities, also known as Ti Ti Pae Bo, to inform the deities and sacred beings who protect the temple of their visit and ask them to open the way for their prayers to be fulfilled. After that, continue to the Hall of the Four Heavenly Kings to pay respect to Tai Sui, Ji Mui Chae Kung, Guan Yu, and Sun Wukong. Then pay respect to the Three Buddhas, continue to the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Hall, and go up to the fourth floor to worship the Ten Thousand Buddhas at the Hall of the Ten Thousand Buddhas of Sukhavati. Finally, go down to the ground floor to pay respect to the Emerald Buddha, another image of Guanyin, and the statue of the former abbot of Leng Noei Yi 2.
In addition, Leng Noei Yi Temple also offers an online Pi Chong service. If you would like to resolve Pi Chong but are unable to visit the temple in person, you can do so through your mobile phone. Simply add the temple’s LINE account @lengnoeiyionline or visit https://cutt.ly/SwAUzH3b, then select the “Make Merit (Pi Chong)” menu. Fill in the required information, including the name and date of birth of the person making the merit, and attach the payment slip. The fee is 100 Baht per set. After the system confirms your submission, you will receive a Tai Sui mobile wallpaper personalized with your name and your lucky color based on your day of birth to help enhance good fortune.
Although Pi Chong is believed in Chinese culture to be a year that may not be very favorable, if we continue to make merit and do good deeds, it is believed that the sacred beings will always protect those who think good thoughts and do good deeds. In the end, good things will come back to those who continue to do good. Our ARM’S ARMOR website also has many more interesting articles for you to read.
