Guidelines for Participating in Dharma King Lian-sheng's Ceremonies in Taiwan

1. Since this winter will be a period of dual epidemics (new crown pneumonia and influenza), experts point out that the general public will face the phenomenon of "immunity debt". We hope everyone will get vaccinated as soon as possible, wear masks in public places, wash hands frequently, and maintain social distance. We urge everyone to stay safe and take good care of your health.
   
2. When Grandmaster enters and leaves a venue, disciples should not crowd or shout out. Guru Buddha knows everyone's thoughts. To protect Grandmaster and maintain order, disciples should adhere to social distancing guidelines and cooperate with the master of ceremonies.
   
3. Since we are still in epidemic conditions, Grandmaster will only bless the empowerment banners. There will be no crown-blessings by Grandmaster. Those who are offering flowers etc. should submit their offerings directly to the ceremony organizer for collective processing. Attendees please note that activities such as signing, taking photos, and spiritual consultation will not be held this time. In line with the government's epidemic prevention policy, social distancing will be implemented at all times.
   
4. Additionally, we are advising disciples to refrain from holding large dinner gatherings following ceremonies presided over by Grandmaster. Also, post-ceremony entertainment performances will not be held. The organizer may prepare lunch boxes for the public as needed. We are strictly following health and safety guidelines to control the epidemic and ensure that everyone gets home safely from the ceremony.
   
5. Grandmaster performs deliverance-by- thousands-of-Dharma-vessels every night. Therefore, activities following ceremonies will be concluded as soon as possible.
   
6. On the first day of the new year, everyone is welcome to visit Taiwan Lei Tsang Temple to pay New Year's greetings to Grandmaster. For epidemic prevention purposes, after the red envelopes have been blessed by Grandmaster, Dharma propagating personnel will distribute them on his behalf.
