Taoism
Temple of Purity and Silence

 

Inside the Catalonia Taoist Association, one finds the Temple of Purity and Silence, the only Taoist temple of Europe. The altar is dedicated and has a representation to Lao Tse (Tai Shang Lao Jun), the main deity of Taoist cult.

Periodically, Master Tien Cheng Yang, as a Taoist Master (title similar to that of priest) celebrates ceremonies, by the Taoist rite, to explain the meaning of aspects of this belief to members of the Association.

The impression of the temple reflected by an altar imprints a ceremonial atmosphere to all the enclosure of the Association. Throughout the eastern style premises, are full of Taoists symbols, such as the yellow color of its walls, associated to Yin, the Earth and the moon. The ceiling of reddish color associated to Yang, the sun and heaven. Thus generating a microcosmic environment between heaven and Earth, where we are.

Its curtains are perfectly integrated to its surroundings, according to the laws of the Feng Shiu, to take advantage of all the powerful energy of the premises and to eliminate bad energy.

Talismans are distributed all around the enclosure, to attract the good Yang energy, causing a stream of positive energy through out the temple.

The sober decoration provides an ambiance ideal for meditation practice. Low lighting, and the warm atmosphere, calls for inner reflection and for practicing breathing and Chi Kung, in a cozy atmosphere for the apprentice.

Visitors notice several calligraphies of delicate execution by Master Tien, and totally in balance with the enclosure, that beautifully decorate the Association with quotations, that reflect the characteristics of the Tao and Taoism.
