Ten Vows from Long Shan Men Master – Lord Long Yi (龍山門始祖 - 龍一真君十願)


According to the main Scripture that being passed down by Long Shan Men Ancestors, all disciples of Long Shan Men will have to try their best to fulfill the Ten Vows that made by Lord Long Yi (龍一真君).


These Ten Vows were being made before Lord Long Yi got the permission from Yuan Shi Tian Zun (元始天尊) for the reincarnation into this Mortal Realm.


In order for the disciples of Long Shan Men and the others to understand more on the Vows, here are the brief explanations of the Ten Vows:


首願下降助度世。


First Vow: Upon reincarnated in this Mortal Realm and being officially accepted as the disciples of Long Shan Men, all disciples will have to assist any Deities and Long Shan Men Ancestors in doing any form of salvations.


在願救拔諸苦離。


Second Vow: All disciples will have to put in effort in ceasing sufferings and provide possible assistance to the needy.


三願救改諸惡厄。


Third Vow: All disciples will have to put in effort in resolving all misfortune & mishaps (Spiritually or Physically) for any living beings.


四願救渡諸難關。


Forth Vow: All disciples will have to put in effort in assisting any living beings to overcome any difficulties at anytime, may it be a minor or major one.


五願救民有舍宅。


Fifth Vow: All disciples will have to put in effort in assisting the needy in having a place to stay (this vow was made in Late Tang Dynasty, during the Chaotic Period, where wars and riots happened. In the Modern World today, disciples of Long Shan Men can avoid this vow, unless someone who are financially-capable in assisting the needy in getting a home).


六願救國興國祚。


Sixth Vow: All disciples must be Loyalty to his/her own Country and shall try the best in providing as much assistance as possible to the Country in maintaining peacefulness and harmony for the citizens.


七願救疆無兵災。


Seventh Vow: All disciples will have to assist the Country in minimizing/stop battles, riots and conflicts at anytime and anywhere, in-order to create a positive environment for the citizens to stay in.


八願救田豐收成。


Eighth Vow: All disciples will have to put in effort in assisting any living beings in any sort of harvesting. By providing the possible assistance for the harvesting, the citizens will be able to live in better condition.


九願救魂離九幽。

Ninth Vow: All disciples will have to put in effort in performing salvation for any suffering souls in any Realms, in order for the souls to attain their enlightenment & proceed to another higher Realm.


十願救魔出迷境。


Tenth Vow: All disciples will have to put in effort in guiding any forms of Negative Entities in turning-over-a-new-leaf or getting enlightenment, etc.


代代傳人傳十願。十願達成昇真境。


Once a disciple of Long Shan Men is able to achieve the vows, their credits & merits will be recorded and once they leave this Mortal Realm, they will be able to attain their enlightenment.
