今天是农历七月初六，也是玉皇三太子的诞辰。
在许多信众心中，玉皇三太子一直以灵验、神通和护佑著称。年轻的时候，我曾经在许多事情上寻求玉皇三太子的指引，也深深感受到祂对我和家人的庇佑。
其中一个让我至今难忘的经历，发生在我当兵的时候。
当时，我在军营里遇到一个很难相处的大块头。他经常拒绝执行站岗任务，也很容易动怒。有一次，他甚至大发脾气，让我非常困扰。
于是，我向玉皇三太子求助。后来得到指引，让我去寻求虎爷的帮助。
在信众之间，虎爷一直被认为能够帮助我们遇到贵人，也能化解由难相处的人所带来的争执、冲突和是非。
很奇妙的是，就在我向虎爷祈求后的第二天，这位平时脾气很大的“大块头”主动来找我，并为前一天的发脾气向我道歉。
那一刻，我真的觉得非常不可思议。
另一个经历，也一直深深刻在我的心里。
当时，一位亲人突然陷入昏迷。经过治疗后，他依然没有任何反应。那是一个非常紧急，也让全家人十分担心的情况。
我的外婆非常焦急，于是赶到寺庙求助。
那一天并没有扶乩或降乩的活动。然而，当时的乩身似乎知道我们家里正在发生事情，并一直在寺庙入口等候。
当她看到我们时，并没有多说什么，而是立即向玉皇三太子求助。
通过乩身，玉皇三太子吩咐我的外婆，让我那位亲人的儿子跪下来，诚心向玉皇大帝祈求帮助。同时，也吩咐他在玉皇大帝面前千万不要流泪。
他照着做了。
之后，玉皇三太子赐下一道符，让我们把符化在水中。然后用“xia liu”，也就是一种叶子，蘸上圣水，向我那位亲人的脸上喷三次。
当时得到的指示是，如果他有任何动作，就代表还有希望。如果完全没有反应，则可能意味着他的生命已经走到了尽头。
我陪着外婆赶到医院，我们也完全按照指示去做。
就在我们做完之后，他的眼皮出现了一点点的动作。
两个小时后，他醒了。
那一刻真的让人百感交集，也令人心痛不已。因为他已经昏迷了整整三天。
这些只是我亲身经历过的其中两个故事。
还有许多经历，我一直默默地放在心里。
我相信，当年那些老信众，一定也有更多属于他们自己的故事可以分享。
今天是玉皇三太子的诞辰。
我一个人静静地坐在客厅里，回想起许多过去的日子。想起年轻的时候，曾经和外婆一起到寺庙的那些时光。
时代变了，人也渐渐走散了。有些人已经离开，有些事情也已经成为回忆。
但是在我的心里，我依然能够感受到玉皇三太子的存在与庇佑。
一路走来，感谢祂曾经给予我的保护、指引与祝福。
这份感恩，我会一直放在心里。
玉皇三太子，诞辰快乐。
愿祂的慈悲与祝福，继续护佑每一位怀着真诚之心前来祈求的人。
Today is the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, the birthday of Yu Huang San Tai Zi.
Yu Huang San Tai Zi has long been known among devotees for his strong spiritual insight, predictive abilities and healing blessings. When I was younger, I often sought his guidance, and I truly felt that he protected me and my family through many difficult moments. One of those moments happened during my army days.
I had difficulty managing a big bully in my camp. He often refused to perform his guard duties and would easily fly into a rage. I sought help from Yu Huang San Tai Zi and was advised to seek the help of the Tiger Deity. The Tiger Deity was known among devotees for bringing good people into our lives and helping to prevent conflicts, arguments and troubles caused by difficult people.
Something quite remarkable happened the very next day.
The same person came to speak with me and apologised for his outburst the day before.
Wasn't that amazing?
Another story that has stayed deeply in my heart involved a relative who fell into a coma. Despite receiving treatment, he remained unresponsive. It was an extremely urgent and worrying situation. My grandmother was so concerned that she rushed to the temple to seek help.
There was no trance session that day. Yet, the medium seemed to know that something was happening in my family. She waited at the entrance. When she saw us, she did not say anything. Instead, she sought guidance from Yu Huang San Tai Zi.
Through the medium, Yu Huang San Tai Zi told my grandmother to ask my relative's son to kneel down and sincerely seek help from the Jade Emperor. He was also told not to shed tears in front of the Jade Emperor.
He followed the instructions.
Yu Huang San Tai Zi then gave us a talisman to be burnt in water. We were told to use a xia liu, or promenade leaf, dip it into the holy water and spray the water onto my relative's face three times.
We were told that if he showed any movement, there was still hope. If there was no response, it would mean that his time might be near.
I followed my grandmother to the hospital, and we followed the instructions exactly.
After we did that, there was a small movement in his eyelid.
Two hours later, he woke up.
It was a deeply emotional and heart-wrenching moment. He had been in a coma for three days.
These are just two of the many experiences I have personally encountered. There are many more that I keep quietly in my heart. I am sure that many of the old devotees from those days would have even more stories to share.
Today, on his birthday, I sat quietly in my living room and reminisced about the old days. I thought about the times I spent with my grandmother at the temple. I thought about the people, the prayers and the many moments that shaped my younger years.
Things may have changed. People may have moved on. The temple may feel different from what I remember.
But deep in my heart, I can still feel the presence and blessings of Yu Huang San Tai Zi.
For all the protection, guidance and blessings I received throughout the years, I remain forever grateful.
Happy Birthday, Yu Huang San Tai Zi.
May your blessings continue to reach all those who seek them with a sincere heart.
