Introduction Leng Ern Jee Temple (星洲灵隐寺) is one of a De Jiao Hui Temples in Singapore. The main deities of the temple are Ji Gong Huo Fo (济公活佛) and Fu You Di Jun named Lu Dong Bin (孚佑帝君吕洞宾). It also accommodates Guanyin (观音). With a 73-year history, the existed Leng Ern Jee Temple located at 15 Jalan Rajah in Singapore (329136) has been built for more than 20 years. It has other two sister temples. One is Chee Hwan Kog Singapore (星洲德 教济芳阁) located at 67 Anchorvale Link (545071) and another is Singapore Chee Hoon Kog Moral Uplifting Society (星洲德教济云阁) located at 1 Jalan Bilal off Bedok Road (468854). Leng Ern Jee Temple is the mother temple associated with the Teochew community. Additionally, since it is the headquarter, there is no mother temple back in China. 2. Objective of Report Aiming at facilitating better understanding of Chinese temples in Singapore, we did a visit to Leng Ern Jee Temple on 9th September 2017. After finishing the first draft, we went to the temple again at 27th September in order to capture some additional necessary information. In the ways of observing and conducting face-to-face interview with staffs and visitants in the temple, this report will provide an overview of Leng Ern Jee Temple on its facts and details of history, deities, spirit mediums, artifacts, events and so on. 3. History of the Temple The predecessor of Leng Ern Jee was founded during the Japanese occupation of Singapore between 1942 and 1945. With the number of members growing larger, a new home was built to accommodate members at Jalan Rajah in 1951, which located on the opposite side to the current address. From then on, the temple got its official name as Leng Ern Jee. In the early 1960s, the three temples, Leng Ern Jee, Chee Hwan Kog Singapore, and Singapore Chee Hoon Kog Moral Uplifting Society was united together under the Ji Group, characterized by the Chinese character Ji showed in their temple names or deities. For example, the Chinese name of Chee Hwan Kong is Ji Fang Ge (济芳阁) while Chee Hoon Kog is Ji Yun Ge (济云阁). The name of deity in Leng Ern Jee is Jing Gong Huo Fo (济公活佛) which includes the character Ji as well. The character, Ji, in Chinese meant relieving and helping, which was in pace with the Buddhist tradition of arguing individuals act with compassion for others 1 | Page in every facet of life. Volunteers among these temples had been helping out among temples in the beginning. Unfortunately, Chee Hoon Kog stopped operating shortly afterwards, from which some volunteers moved to Leng Ern Jee, while the rest joined Chee Hwan Kog. Around 1982, Chee Hoon Kog was reestablished at 1 Jalan Bilal. These three Ji Group continued sharing volunteers and in cooperation with each other when organizing events. In 1968, volunteers set up a Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic to provide free medical services for the public, which reflected the spirit of Ji Group. As the scale of service gradually expand, Leng Ern Jee tried to break space constraint, resulting in its removing to 15 Jalan Rajah in 1987. 4. Layout and Artifacts After entering main gate, there are two lions on the both side. A stone carving altar (see Appendix 2.1) and panel in the front gate lied between them. A censer (see Appendix 2.2) is put behind the altar in front of the main hall. The main entrance is made up of three doors. the middle one is made for gods to enter and leave. The couplet at the main entrance writes “純陽正氣可謂仙家呂祖，道濟德魏堪稱天界活佛”. The temple plaque “靈隐 寺” was hung over the middle door. (see Appendix 2.3) Believers should enter by right side with left leg stepping over the threshold first, while exit through the door on the left with right leg. The threshold on the right is named drag mouth(龙口) and the left Tiger exit. Stepping thresholds are banned. The main hall lies at the center, where most of the deities, Jing Gong Huo Fo, Fu You Di Jun, and Guan Yin, are placed and worshipped. In front of the main god altar, there is a censer and a donation box on the main table (see Appendix 2.4). The couplet beside the main god altar writes “靈傑蔚人文 柳筆沙箋醒濁世; 隱揚 遵聖訓 慈雲法雨護蒼生” (see Appendix 2.5). A picture of Fu You Di Jun (Lu Dong Bin) was posted on the wall in the behind of the main hall with couplet written as “寶劍斬長蛟 應共旌陽留; 僊衣遺彩蝶 好同勾漏 訪” and the writer “葉恭绰” (see Appendix 2.6). Two sculptures of Guanyin (see Appendix 1.2) and Jing Gong Huo Fo (see Appendix 1.3) are put in front of the picture. The administrative offices for the temple keepers is built on both side after entering main hall. The donation information is post opposite the office. (see Appendix 2.7) On the walls of aisles, there are notice boards where some information about spirit medium and history of the temple was shown. 2 | Page The Ancestor Hall, known as Yan De Tang (延德堂) is located behind the main hall with couplet written “徳 修遵孝道千秋佳境人牛眠，延績焚馨香一座明堂瞻鳯阙”. (see Appendix 2.8) There are side doors on the left and right in the ancestor hall. 5. Deities in the Temple The two main deity Lu Chun Yang Shi Zun and Ji Gong Huo Fo were invited from Bahau, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia for the new shrine established on 2nd floor of a shop house along Circular Road. 5.1 Ji Gong Huo Fo 济公活佛 Ji gong was born Li Xiu Yuan, son of a former military advisor. At the age of 18, he went to Hang Zhou and became a monk in LingYin temple. He was given the monastic name, Daoji. Unlike traditional monks, Daoji did not believe in abstinence from worldly temptations like alcohol and meat. On the contrary, he was often seen drunk and his favorite food was dog meat. Hence, he is often depicted in tattered robes with a bottle of wine in his hand. Even though he did not carry the usual image of monks, he was benevolent and was always willing to lend a helping hand to others. Many believed that he was the incarnation of the Taming Dragon as he seemed to possess godly powers. He often used his powers to help the poor and rid diseases. After his death in 1207, syncretic Taoism began to revere Daoji as a deity and eventually, he was recognized by Buddhism as well. Now, he remains a popular deity as his stories continue to be passed on. 5.2 Fu You Di Jun (Lu Dong Bing) 孚佑帝君（吕洞宾） Lu Dong Bin was born Lu Yan in Jingzhao prefecture around 796 CE. An excellent fragrance filled the room during his birth. He was born an intelligent man with many academic achievements but he failed the top-level civil service exam twice. He met his Taoist master. Zhong Li Quan in the marketplace. Impressed with his poem, Lu Yan invited his master into his home where they cooked a yellow millet. He dozed off and dreamt that he had passed the court exam, gaining success, wealth and fame. However, a change in the politics of the court caused him his prominent rank. He was betrayed by his beautiful wife, and his children were murdered by bandits. He lost everything and eventually died on the streets. Even though he lived a lifetime in his dream, in reality it was shorter than the time it took the yellow millet to cook. His dream is now known as the yellow millet dream. This dream casted an insight to Taoism for Lu Yan and pushed him to abandon everything to pursue Taoism. Zhong Li Quan set ten trials for Lu Yan to pass before he would accept him as his student. 3 | Page 6. Events & Spirit Mediums As a multipurpose temple serving as the altar of ancestors as well as for the worship of various Gods, there are, precisely, two major aspects of events in this temple in a parallel manner. The fact remains that the religious activities are held periodically according to the Gods’ Enlightenment Day or Birthday, while commonly the folks and visitants would use this temple as an altar for worshipping purpose. 6.1 Taoism

  • Inscriptional Records of the Western Zhou
    INSCRIPTIONAL RECORDS OF THE WESTERN ZHOU Robert Eno Fall 2012 Note to Readers The translations in these pages cannot be considered scholarly. They were originally prepared in early 1988, under stringent time pressures, specifically for teaching use that term. Although I modified them sporadically between that time and 2012, my final year of teaching, their purpose as course materials, used in a week-long classroom exercise for undergraduate students in an early China history survey, did not warrant the type of robust academic apparatus that a scholarly edition would have required. Since no broad anthology of translations of bronze inscriptions was generally available, I have, since the late 1990s, made updated versions of this resource available online for use by teachers and students generally. As freely available materials, they may still be of use. However, as specialists have been aware all along, there are many imperfections in these translations, and I want to make sure that readers are aware that there is now a scholarly alternative, published last month: A Source Book of Ancient Chinese Bronze Inscriptions, edited by Constance Cook and Paul Goldin (Berkeley: Society for the Study of Early China, 2016). The “Source Book” includes translations of over one hundred inscriptions, prepared by ten contributors. I have chosen not to revise the materials here in light of this new resource, even in the case of a few items in the “Source Book” that were contributed by me, because a piecemeal revision seemed unhelpful, and I am now too distant from research on Western Zhou bronzes to undertake a more extensive one.

  • Poeticize the Good−Eccentricity of Enlightened Zen Characters
    ISSN: 2186-8492, ISSN: 2186-8484 Print アアシエンシエンアシエン ヅロナルヅロナルヅロナル オホオホオホ ソセアルソセアルソセアル サイネセズサイネセズサイネセズ アナドアナドアナド ヒウメニテズ Vol. 1. No. 4. November 2012 POETICIZE THE GOOD−−−ECCENTRICITY OF ENLIGHTENED ZEN CHARACTERS Yong Zhi, PhD Department of Religion Temple University, Philadelphia, USA. [email protected] ABSTRACT An enlightened Zen master, after a period of reclusive life in monastery or wildness, often chooses to return to the society and mingle with people. The tenth ox-herding picture attempts to depict this scenario, in which an enlightened one, with an eccentric appearance, seems to be making a deal in a market place. The eccentric trait seems to reflect a Zen’s style of character and spiritual transmission with people. Eccentricity is a manifestation of enlightenment with a transformed personality and extraordinary capability in interaction with people. We will examine three aspects of the eccentric nature of Zen characters: the non-positional stand, the intriguing laugh, and the appearance of foolishness. The eccentricity of Zen is vividly exemplified by Ji-gong, one of the most colorful Zen characters in the history of both Chinese Buddhism and the popular culture. The paper suggests that the spirituality of Zen allows its ethics to take an aesthetic form. Keywords: East Asian studies, religions, philosophy, Buddhism, Zen, literary criticism, language, Poetry, Chinese Poetics. INTRODUCTION A common critique about Zen Buddhism points its lack of significant social ethics, as Zen’s journey for enlightenment seems to be an individualistic venture of self-enrichment in terms of the exploration of the world of experience, transformation of the mind, and attainment of a higher level of consciousness, which appears to be void of any social implication.

  • Wujiquan and Luohan Ru Yi Quan Wujiquan
    Wujiquan and Luohan Ru Yi Quan Note: The following descriptions of the rare and ancient arts given below were created by Dr Alan Tinnion, in his capacity as a much respected and trusted Inner Chamber Disciple of his Master, Shizu [Grandmaster] Chee Kim Thong, to provide proper accurate scholarly descriptions of Wujiquan and Luohan Ru Yi Quan on the Wikipedia website resource. The creation of both articles was due to a general lack of accurate description of these systems for reasons explained below. Parts of these systems have been taught to a limited number of individuals of the Chee Kim Thong Lineage, but they were taught in their entirety to Dr Alan Tinnion on a personal direct basis by Grandmaster Chee Kim Thong who felt him worthy of preserving and teaching them in their unaltered, accurate forms. The transmission of the two systems took place over a number of years. Wujiquan and Luohan Ru Yi Quan were taught to Grandmaster Chee Kim Thong by his final and greatest teacher, the Chan Buddhist patriarch of the legendary Southern Shaolin Temple [Fujian province], the Very Reverend Abbot Yik Cha’an Cha’an Sze . Please also see the ‘Spirit of Gong Fu’ article in the Articles section of this website: this provides further information about the Luohan Ru Yi Quan system.

Hinging on the concept of Crea� ve Mul� lingualism — the idea that language diversity and crea� vity are mutually enriching — this � mely and thought-provoking volume shows how the concept provides a matrix for experimenta� on with ideas, approaches and methods. C The book presents four years of joint research on mul� lingualism across REATIVE disciplines, from the humani� es through to the social and natural sciences. It is structured as a manifesto, comprising ten major statements which are unpacked through various case studies across ten chapters. They encompass M areas including the rich rela� onship between language diversity and diversity ULTILINGUALISM of iden� ty, thought and expression; the interac� on between language diversity and biodiversity; the ‘prisma� c’ unfolding of meaning in transla� on; the benefi ts of linguis� c crea� vity in a classroom-se� ng; and the ingenuity underpinning ‘conlangs’ (‘constructed languages’) designed to give imagined peoples a dis� nc� ve medium capable of expressing their cultural iden� ty. This book is a welcome contribu� on to the fi eld of modern languages, highligh� ng the intricate rela� onship between mul� lingualism and crea� vity, and, crucially, reaching beyond an Anglo-centric view of the world.
