The six burners were installed per the directive of Golden Mother of the Jade Pond. They were established so that sentient beings may conveniently burn joss paper to solve their problems, eradicate calamities and cure illnesses. Disciples come to LSCTT from all over the world to burn paper money for spiritual consultation. They also burn paper money as an offering to their ancestors and for blessings of family peace and safety. Many people have received incredible spiritual responses. This is an expedient means that Golden Mother has compassionately transmitted to sentient beings. This is also the only Six Joss Paper Burner legend in the world.
**(Editor’s note: Bodily ailments should be treated by doctors. Burning joss paper should serve only as added blessings.)
Following is the procedure for supplicants to burn joss paper for their prayers:
The supplicant first places joss paper in the shrine. Then, facing the shrine, the supplicant briefly tells Golden Mother the name, address, and prayer of the supplicant and then cordially asks Golden Mother to take the prayer into her hand. After completion of the offerings and prayers, the supplicant may then burn the paper in the corresponding burner.
