The Prayer to pray to the CREATOR was revealed to Xian Sheng on 4 October 1976 during one of his meditation sessions at his home at Kepong Baru at around 3:30 am. In his out-of-body experience, Xian Sheng came upon a huge reflective white blank wall. Forty-five “fire-reddish” large Chinese characters appeared on the wall, measuring 7.6 meters by 3.3 meters (25 feet by 11 feet). The 45 characters appear swiftly column-by-column, from right to left, to form nine columns. As Xian Sheng was educated in English, he asked, “GOD, what is all this? I don’t understand Chinese.” A male voice replied in Cantonese, “Gradually you will understand.” The 45 words were then narrated in Cantonese to Xian Sheng along with its meaning. When he woke up in the morning, the 45 Chinese words were still vivid in his memory. He sought the assistance of his Chinese-speaking friends to help him eventually reproduce the exact words in The Prayer.

The Prayer can only be recited in its original form in Cantonese, in the various Chinese dialects or in Hanyu pinyin. The Prayer cannot be translated into other languages for praying purposes as it loses its meaning in the translation. The English explanation cannot be used to pray to the CREATOR as it is only an explanation and not the prayer.
We pray by removing our shoes and kneeling down, eyes looking skywards with our hands clasped and pressed to our solar plexus. We recite the Prayer first and followed by our request as follows:
We pray for all the saints in Heaven.
We pray for forgiveness for our ancestors.
We pray for blessing for our family.
We can then pray for any other request.
