開光安座 Consecration
供奉神明一定要請有德有證量的師父開光。開了光的佛菩薩、諸神明金身，就是活靈活現的佛菩薩、諸神明，不但可保家也可衛國。每日虔心點香上供，唸佛持咒，頂禮禱告，出入平安、上班或做生意皆如意、身心安泰、子女乖巧、學業進步、家和興旺是一定的。
供奉神明更是讓我們以祂們為榜樣，學習祂們的德、學習祂們的捨、學習祂們的定、學習祂們的智慧，等等等。這樣的供奉神明，最終所得一定福德圓滿。

The consecration of the deity statues must definitely be conducted by a virtuous master, one who has achieved a certain level of attainment. The statues of the deities become energised with the presence of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and deities after the consecration ritual, and not only do the deities protect our homes, they protect our country as well. With utmost faith and sincerity each day as we make incense offerings, chanting of mantras as well as daily prayers, our lives will be blessed in various ways like personal safety, prosperity of careers and businesses, good health, obedient children, academic progress and harmony in the family.
The worship and enshrinement of gods and deities is to enable us to learn from their exemplary attributes, to model ourselves after their highest virtues, their willingness to give, their meditative calmness, their wisdom etc. By doing so, we will surely achieve virtuous merits and bliss at the end.
