🌙 收坛 (Shou Tan)

Closing Altar - Respectfully Completing Ritual Work

⚠️ MANDATORY After Kai Tan

Shou Tan is required after every Kai Tan (Opening Altar) . Leaving spiritual "doors" open can cause energy drain and disturbances.

What is Shou Tan (收坛)?

Shou Tan means "Closing/Receiving the Altar." It respectfully dismisses invited deities, seals the ritual portals, and returns the space to its mundane state.

收坛 意為「關閉/收納祭壇」。它恭敬地遣散邀請的神祇，封印儀式門戶，並將空間恢復到日常狀態。

The Four Steps of Shou Tan

  1. Gratitude (Gan En): Sincere thanks to Liuren Immortal Master and Guardians.
  2. Formal Dismissal (Song Shen): Respectfully releasing entities to their realms.
  3. Sealing Altar (Feng Tan): Closing spiritual portals with a sealing Hand Seal.
  4. Offering Disposal: Extinguishing candles and cleaning the surface.

🙏 "Beginning and Ending"

"有始有终，功德圆满" - Having a beginning and an ending, merit is complete. Master this pairing to establish yourself as a responsible practitioner.
