Career Advancement Ceremony

Core Tenet: Upholding the Taoist concept of diligence that “renew day by day and take advantage of the situation”, with “breaking through bottlenecks and expanding the territory” as the core, the ceremony adjusts the aura in the career promotion stage and gathers the power of expansion and opportunity. It helps to abandon the idea of being conservative and afraid of difficulties, establish the career concept of “following the trend and striving for perfection”, clarify the development ideas, break through the growth bottlenecks, improve the ability of resource integration and risk response, and realize the steady expansion of the career territory. It also protects the clear development opportunities and strong help from noble people.

Ritual Preparation: Choose an auspicious day conducive to promotion and expansion, such as “Jin Ri” (Progress Day), “Man Ri” (Fullness Day), and “Cheng Ri” (Completion Day), and hold the ceremony at Wei Shi (1-3 pm) in the afternoon, a time of clear thinking and prosperous aura. It is necessary to fast and bathe for 7 days in advance, eat vegetarian food every day to purify the mind, sort out the existing bottlenecks and expansion goals of the career, summarize past experience and lessons, and inform the name, date of birth and career expansion direction in advance for customizing the blessing content. Altar arrangement: Place the tablets of the God of Wealth and Emperor Wenchang in the center (symbolizing wealth expansion and wise strategy); on the left, display the career performance report and compass (symbolizing accurate judgment and clear direction); on the right, place a clean water bowl and green bamboo (implying steady progress and strong resilience); burn three sticks of agarwood in front of the altar to gather a focused aura. The presiding Taoist priest purifies his body and observes precepts five days in advance, sorts out the key points of Taoist wisdom related to career expansion, and prepares the expansion prayer and diligence method maxims.

Solemn Ritual: Presided over by a Taoist priest, the ritual focuses on “promotion and expansion” with a solemn and high-spirited rhythm, conforming to the core needs of career advancement—

Altar Setup and Clarifying Direction: The Taoist priest wipes the tablets and reports, holds agarwood and bows three times to the God of Wealth and Emperor Wenchang, recites the “God of Wealth Expansion Mantra” and “Emperor Wenchang Wisdom Judgment Mantra”, and prays for the dual blessing of wealth and wisdom aura;

Burning Incense to Gather Qi: The Taoist priest stands quietly in front of the altar holding agarwood, and after the fragrance fills the air, walks around the altar three times, reciting the qi-gathering maxim “gathering qi leads to the formation of momentum, and wisdom leads to expansion”;

Wisdom Explanation: The Taoist priest selects the excerpt “As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement; as earth’s condition is receptive devotion, a gentleman should hold the outer world with virtue” from “Zhouyi”, explaining the expansion principle of “forging ahead with fortitude and undertaking a career with virtue”;

Report Blessing: The Taoist priest holds the career performance report, gently covers it on the compass, sprinkles a little clean water on the report cover, and recites the blessing “report learns from the past, compass clarifies the direction, breaks through bottlenecks, and expands in all directions”;

Green Bamboo Empowerment: The Taoist priest takes green bamboo and places it in front of the altar, holds the bamboo body and waves it three times gently, reciting the empowerment words “green bamboo rises steadily with strong resilience; career expands with unstoppable momentum” while waving;
