Lunar calendar 15th August is the birthday of Vieillard sous la lune in the legend and he will arrange the love-case of prayers priority on that day. People are able to find that in Kwong Fok Shrine located in Sheung Wan. Rumors posted by she.com message board (
http://community.she.com/messageboard2/index.cfm?bdid=25&topic_id=1598531) said “Don't let those grasping temple attendants (temple attendant in charge of incense and religious service; acolyte) overcharge you.”As a matter of fact, nobody asks for Lei See (red pocket), not same as the message mentioned it cost HK$399 (excluded Lei See) for worship, even the Pray for blessings ceremony was being presented by the taoist priests that only cost HK$100 by heartship & the money will be used for maintain the Shrine. Because my friend who accompanying was did it.
There also have another folk legend about two marriage numens, “Twin genii He-He” who manage the marriages on the earth, for believers pray respect to. Their names suggested husband and wife should be faithful each other, so the marriage would be harmonious and stable.
A Taoist priest said welcome to public & free of charge, deities be nice to all people with respectful. Their pilgrims included Ms. Rosamond Kwan, Ms. Lau Ka Ling & Mr. Leslie Cheung (passed-away).
八月十五拜月老 ( 2009年10月3日~廣褔義祠 )
傳說每年農曆八月十五月是月老爺爺的生日,所以相傳該日去向祂求姻緣,特別靈驗。在去之前當然先搜尋相關資料,但看過she.com內其中一個 message board (

竟然有留言話,廟內的廟祝/道長只是向錢看,每幫你做一件事情都要收利是,拜一次收費HK$399 (未計利是)。所以去之前都有點戰戰兢兢,而且還在中環買好香燭衣紙供品等HK$45一大份,以免被劏到一頸血。還有,我的同行朋友E提醒,為免被詛咒,所以袋著幾封HK$20利是,有需要便派,即使這樣也不需HK$399。
當踏入廟時,可能剛過午飯時間,信眾不多,不過間廟‘好疊馬’有多位駐場解簽,道長哥哥,一位廟祝叔叔走過來引路及幫忙,我以小人之心對待,所以給了他一封利是。後來才發現之後其他信眾都沒有給他利是,他亦沒有問人拿,但他依然很Nice。廟祝叔叔還教我排新款聚寶盆,快、靚、正,金銀不需續張摺已很好看。後來,朋友E請道長哥哥替她〝喃無〞品告濟公活佛,因為她快要入醫院做手術,隨緣收費只是HK$100,還是作為廟內營運用途,香燭只亦是HK$20。道長哥哥做完〝喃無〞後與我閒聊,說明星哥哥張國榮生前時常來點塔香,關芝琳、劉嘉玲也時有前來祈福。他也補充,人們閒時路過也可入廟祈拜,有免費香可供沒有準備的人參拜,絕不會胡亂向喜信要錢,廟內神明是保佑有心人的。還有和合二仙求祂保佑你們感情和平諧,然後可以求簽,翌年立春前去還神,如果想保佑二人感情穩定順利的話也可以拜和合二仙的。
