Becoming a Taoist Priest...

How to become a Taoist Priest?

Wondering if there are classes for Taoist Priest in Singapore? Of course there are! There are several areas in Taoism that a person can develop to become a Taoist Priest. At Hiang Tong Keng Scripture Chanting Group, our focus is on Taoist Scriptures and Rituals. Both are not mutually exclusive and learning one area will impact the other area as well.

Basic Scripture Chanting Classes

We hold weekly classes at Hiang Tong Keng Temple (93 Tampines Link, Singapore 528744) for Basic Scripture Chanting. Our classes is taught in Chinese and the language used for chanting is Cantonese.

You do not have to be a Cantonese to learn our Scripture Chanting. Many of our students are not Cantonese as well and have been able to learn it successfully. Resources will be provided to make learning more enjoyable.

Rituals

As part of the class, students can also expect to learn the various intricacies of a Taoist ritual. This can include setting up of altar for rituals, etiquettes of Taoism, movements around and within the altar, as well as incantations for Blessing and Salvation purposes.

Ordination

After completing the basic scripture chanting class and training, our students will be offered an opportunity to participate in the Ordination Ceremony (皈依入道仪式) to become a Taoist Priest. The process to ordination can take between 6months to 2 years on average.
