2020 City God Temple of Taipei City - Zhongyuan Pudu Peace Praying Ceremony

  • Home
  • Pudu Peace
Time:
September 12, 2020

Venue:
No. 14, Sec. 1, Wuchang St., Zhongzheng Dist., Taipei City (City God Temple of Taipei City)

Introduction:
The annual Zhongyuan Pudu Peace Praying Ceremony has been organized by Department of Civil Affairs of Taipei City Government and City God Temple of Taipei City since 2009. 
This ceremony is solemn and eco-friendly, and it has revolutionized the worship culture. The ceremony carries out new eco-friendly methods, such as reducing the usage of incense sticks and joss papers, and centralizing the burning of joss papers. It also promotes to donate rice for those in need instead of buying joss papers.
In 2018, in response to the policy “rice of joss paper” from Department of Civil Affairs of Taipei City, City God Temple launched a creative product - Black & White Peace Rice . It symbolizes City God’s governance of the living and the dead. To set an example, in recent years, City God Temple of Taipei City uses the cone-shaped pile of black & white peace rice as a replacement of  joss papers.
Moreover, City God Temple of Taipei City makes a lot of effort on the annual Zhongyuan Pudu Peace Praying Ceremony. The meals for the deceased are presented as a visual feast with Buddhism meanings, such as praying for peace and blessings, or averting disasters and bad lucks. The Temple also stacks the black & white rice into Buddhism symbols, like Bagua (eight trigrams), the Dharma Wheel, and the swastika (卍). It encourages the believers to worship the deities with their hearts and respects rather than burning joss papers.
