Taoist Trance ceremony, Kuching, Borneo 

Why are so many people upset about what this guys doing? He’s respectful, open minded and just wanted to test the waters abit. I’m a Malaysian living in England and I have not visited Malaysia since I was little. I’m 20 now so it’s been a good few years and watching videos like this has always interested me because it’s my culture! He probably asked the same questions I would have, and acted how I would have!

The person did not use the correct word, those are not really spirits but are deity that guard, governs, or messenger from Hell. The man in trans is suppose to be possesses by the deity by the name of The Heibai Wuchang, or Hak Bak Mo Seong, literally "Black and White Impermanence", are two Deities in Chinese folk religion in charge of escorting the spirits of the dead to the underworld.

My goodness, the wrong person with the worst language that resulted rights to be distorted and misunderstood. I hope this video can be removed so as not to mislead perception against Taoism or Buddhism. To begin with, you do not refer Taoism or Buddhism as spirit. Spirit is contrary to ghost towards caucasian understanding. You are bringing Chinese believe to a whole new level to praying to ghost or devil.

Making a video like this and not knowing the outcome must have been fun. Nice work my friend!

This kind of trance is a practice developed by the hokkien chinese. It is interesting to see how these practices have evolved differently as hokkien diasporas spread to Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore. These trance typically involve a medium getting possessed by spirits. Different temples/doctrines have different practices varying from piercings to walking on hot charcoal. These are well rehearsed. Accidents do happen sometimes: a malaysian taoist medium suffered from heart attack while performing such an act in 2017. Fortunately, such old practices which later became a commercialized business model are dying out.

Thanks for uploading this informative video and be open-minded about other cultures.

The Abrahamic definition of God and the Taoist definition of God is very different. God means the one and the almighty in Abrahamic religions while Gods in Taoism is more akin to the deities, their powers more equivalent to angels and they have various ranks and roles in Heaven. The Almighty in Taoism is referred to as The "Tao", the Way and the Path. The 3 equivalents of the Tao are the Sanqing Daozhu (三清道祖）or "The Three Pristine Ones". Just like how the number 3 is sacred to Christianity with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the 3 Pristine Ones in Taoism are 1) 元始天尊 1) The Primeval Lord of Heaven (Yuan Shi Tian Zun) 2) 灵宝天尊 2) The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure (Ling Bao Tian Zun) 3) 道德天尊 3) The Heavenly Lord of Tao and Virtue (Dao De Tian Zun) All 3 forms into and is part of Tao, which in this case is similar to God in the western sense. The Tua Li Ya Pek (大伯公) you see here is not a devil nor a demon, he is a deity whose role in the Underworld (not Hell) is akin to the Grim Reaper, he guides the souls to the underworld for judgement.

Alright , I have a real taoist master friend who know all this . Basically , if u ever wonder why he is doing all this stuff when being possess is because when the deity come , its energy are far to strong for a human physical body to handle , just like when u summon a demon and the whole room energies felt different , some might begin to vomit or feel ill due to the entity bioenergy .

This is not Buddhism of Taoism, elements of them being Mixed with folk culture

is not god spirit , is ghost spirit "

Interesting material. But brother, the audio goes to crap about 3 minutes in. Do you have a better audio track?

I think you were trying to disprove or insult these people here, but be warned. Just when you don't believe in these things doesn't mean they aren't real. Ive seen real trance. Skeptics should go to penang malaysia and find "penang ghost king". Real invincibility vs knives, chainsaw etc. or do this: try insulting random people in banyuwangi indonesia. Your western doctors will be perplexed when they removed barbedwires for example out of your body cavities (namely stomach).

How about the place of the temple, can you give the rute

What is the name of this temple?

1 question, if he is in possession, how did he know where is the table, how to tie the shawl on his waist, hhmmm....

Not a Devil it is a Chinese deity that controls the spirits in hell and it is not a Devil I say again pls check properly it catches ghost so it is not a devil

sifu sifu where is malaysia MH-370 missing?

Where is this temple located in Kuching?

WOW!!!!!

Actually,if I'm not mistaken,in Taoism believes,both hell and heaven worked together,and the Buddha you saw in the hell section is called 地藏王菩萨,he's one of the guardians of hell and the deity that possessed the medium is Tua di ya pek,Di ya pek and Tua di ya pek are good brothers and are the deities that will bring souls to hell so they can be judge 阎王爷,the judge of hell

MATH FTW!!!! How to balance the fking budget

There are many interpretations of Taoism.

the explanation is wrong, this deity is more like angel Gabriel who hold the role of bring decease which got sin to hell for judgement.there are deity who is assign by heaven god to hold this responsibility.

cool stuff. Too bad people can't see this in China or Japan anymore.

It’s not taoism or buddhism but it’s folk religion (this is hokkien tradition)that combined buddhist taoist and confucious you can see? It’s have a lot of deities icon in different religions .the folk religions “just pray didn’t mind the religion “

This guy gave the god a trick question. HAHAGA

this we call tua ya pek. but the way he was possessed totally different from the ones that I saw from s' pore. I think this one is fake.

大爷伯，its hell gods, also goodluck gods and health gods, they want we to take care our parents respect our parent and elderly take care and believe in karma

This god came from hell and the name is call tua ya pek

actualy some God` s messenger know how long peoplekeep still alive or death. but its not allowed to said. if we said like oh ur neighbor will die soon . because we had read their live diary at heaven. it will cut our won age. because its carmics works and not allowed. if we noti8ce this people had less age. jur said gave him or her more good nutrition, take to doctor. make moree good kindess as much as possible. pray to GOD. for tahnks full and forgiveness. etc.

This is chinese folk religion. Nothing to do with Buddhism and Taoism.

The Son of God or just a prophet?

This does not refer to the chirstian devil thank goodness! Nor was it some ignorant Christian saying a Chinese God in trance was the devil.

He is not posses by a devil

I think I have a question can someone go and tell him who is Jesus?

One question, how to make money shooting videos. Another question, tricking their god/gods. You will know you do not know. It is 2021, where is that whiteman now?

This is dissociative Identity disorder

He just take advantage of peoples faith in ghosts and makes a lot money that way, with other words, he exploits peoples reaction to its limit, he is the exploiter. People are the subject for exploitation.

Sad. The earth The surrounding Created many many creatures including what we called ourselves humans. Chinese gods looking for body to help other people. They are not helping other creatures from being abused, tortured, killed by humans.
