山神恩光 密法弟子林钰堂
福德山神吉地主，烟供经年示炉形，
座落供需蒙指点，金豹守关虎猴巡。
跋
住家附近之山神，蒙 陈师授余烟供法以供之，已十余年。尝蒙示现供炉之形，如太师椅。又示现其牌位之座落、布局，以及彼所好之供品、金纸之类形。余皆一一遵循。彼尝示现金豹，坐守关房外侧之阳台，也曾示现虎及猴群来赐助力。住此区已二十余年，蒙彼福荫，平安吉祥。谨此铭记其恩德。愿此区大众同蒙彼佑。

The Grace of Mountain God Yutang Lin
Meritorious and virtuous mountain god, master of auspicious land,
After years of smoke pujas revealed the desirous shape of stove.
Proper location and desirable offerings were kindly pointed out;
Golden leopard guards retreat while tigers and monkeys patrol.
Comment:
Following the Superior Smoke Sacrifice ritual transmitted to me by Guru Chen, I have made regular offerings to the local mountain god for almost two decades now. Once in a dream the desirous shape of the stove was revealed to be as a grandeur armchair. At other times, the proper location of the lotus seat for him and how it should be arranged were also revealed. The kind of offerings and gold leaves preferred were also revealed through dreams. I have followed all these revelations. Once during my retreat in a dream he appeared as a golden leopard sitting on the sundeck outside the retreat room. He and his attendants also appeared in dreams as tigers and monkeys to come help me. I have lived in this area for over two decades. Through his grace it has been peaceful and auspicious. This brief record is carefully and truthfully written to recount his graceful blessings. May all who live in this area share his blessings.
