Visiting Chai Shen Ye Temple (财神爷庙) – How To Receive A Blessed Chai Shen Ye Amulet For Wealth Luck & Prosperity Through Traditional Rituals - Hat Yai - Thailand (Part 2/2).

A visit to Chai Shen Ye Temple (财神爷庙) is more than just a cultural stop—it is a deeply spiritual experience. Known for its devotion to Chai Shen Ye, the temple attracts visitors seeking prosperity and good fortune. During my visit, I had the rare opportunity to witness a deity medium performing a traditional blessing ritual for my amulet in traditional way. The atmosphere was intense yet fascinating, offering a glimpse into the living practices of Chinese folk religion in Hat Yai.

Beside the altar of the Three-Eyed Deity, Erlang Shen, there is also an altar dedicated to Nezha 哪吒三太子.

Altar no:7 for Nezha 哪吒三太子. He had a supernatural birth—he stayed in his mother’s womb for 3 years and 6 months, then emerged from a lotus-like ball of flesh. His unusual birth already marked him as extraordinary. One of his most famous stories involves his battle with the Ao Guang (conflict with Dragon King). After killing Ao Guang’s son during a conflict, Nezha faced the wrath of the Dragon King. To save his family from punishment, Nezha performed a dramatic act of self-sacrifice, returning his body to his parents. Nezha was later resurrected by his master, the immortal sage Taiyi Zhenren, using lotus roots and leaves—giving him a new, divine body. Nezha is known for several iconic magical items: Wind Fire Wheels (风火轮): Let him fly at incredible speeds, Universe Ring (乾坤圈): A powerful throwing weapon, Red Armillary Sash (混天绫): A magical ribbon that binds enemies, Fire-tipped Spear: His main weapon in combat.

Deity Medium 乩童 start to blessing the amulets.

During my visit, I witnessed a Deity Medium 乩童 conducting a ritual blessing, carefully anointing my amulet with incense ashes and cinnabar ink. This traditional practice reflects the rich cultural and religious heritage preserved within the temple.

This photo was taken during the ritual, the Deity Medium moved with focused intensity, blessing the amulets with incense, ritual paper, and cinnabar ink. Behind them, the altar of Nezha stood proudly, a silent yet powerful presence watching over the ceremony. Capturing this moment felt like stepping into a living tradition, where faith, energy, and devotion filled the temple air.

A Deity Medium conducted a blessing ritual for my Chai Shen Ye amulets, holding incense and ritual paper while dabbing Cinnabar ink 朱砂 and incense ashes onto them.

So when a Deity Medium blesses amulets for Chai Shen Ye, they often use this Red Cinnabar ink to “activate” or consecrate the amulet. Cinnabar (朱砂) is a traditional red pigment used in Chinese religious practices. It’s believed to: Ward off evil, Carry spiritual power and Seal blessings or talismans.
