黄必财大师安息

The Departure of Master Ooi Keat Chye

 

2010年4月14日，亦农历3月初一日，黄必财先生与世长辞。无可否认，身为最资深的大师，他乃全槟城屈指可数的道教高人。大师这一离去让道教界从此少了一位英才，令人唏嘘不已。大师从师于他的先父黄妈金大师，直到他的兄长于2008年往生后才接下槟城最古老的道坛-金真坛坛主一职。

 

金真坛在槟城可说是无人不知，无人不晓，并且早已融入当地人们的日常生活以及历史的一部分。当年中国道士黄妈金大师从中国南下，并于1950年一手创办，金真坛不单为众多善男信女提供了一处膜拜场所和为往生者进行超度仪式，还是个老弱残伤的疗养中心。今天如果您走过Macullum街，一提起金真坛和黄妈金大师，试问有哪位不知晓他们的大名。

 

如今，金真坛依然是个人们身心灵的归宿。对所供奉的主神太上老君秉持着一份信念，有所求的信众都得到了心中的一片安宁。

 

因此，黄必财大师的离去，实乃真金坛与普罗大众的一大损失。他尽心尽责尽力地不断服务。为此，人们与其他众多大师们也都很尊敬他，仰慕他。当他离去的那一刻，所有道教界的大师们都前来送他最后一程。

 

虽然往生者已去，但他已将坛主一职责传给了他的侄子，黄神龙大师，以延续金真坛的使命，成为阴与阳的推动力。

 

黄必财大师安葬于2010年4月20日（农历3月初7日）。愿他在神明的领导与庇佑下入土为安。

 

 

Dated 14 April 2010, Mr Ooi Keat Chye has ascended his way to Heaven. Leaving a legacy filling with spiritual of Tao, he has been a remarkable Taoist priest in Penang, undeniable to be the most senior and most experienced Master. Starting to earn his knowledge from his then loving father, Mr Ng Mah Kim, he has make his way until he headed the Kim Chim Tuah, the oldest Taoism Priest Centre in Penang when the latter brother passed away in the year 2008.

 

The Kim Chim Tuah has indeed been part of the local history in Penang when it deals with spiritual and healing. Beginning from year 1950, founded by the priest from China, Mr Ng Mah Kim, it is not only dealing with rituals for the death and prayers to the deities, it has also been a centre for healing and recovery centre for the poor and sick ones. Today, if you are walking down the Macullum Street and mentioned about Kim Chim Tuah and Mr Ng Mah Kim, it is the most unlikely that anyone in their later 60s will not know this two figures.

 

Until today, Kim Chim Tuah is still serving as a centre of spiritual. Holding on the belief to its main master, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, it has provided peace and harmony to anyone and everyone that seek help.

 

Therefore, the departure of Mr Ooi Keat Chye, has caused a big loss either to Kim Chim Tuah and the people, generally. He has been the Chairperson and run his duty earnestly and honestly. He has gain respect and honour from not only the people but other Taoist Priest like him. It is all seen and said when all Taoist priest has took the privilege to pay their last respect and honour him as a great Priest of Tao.

 

Although he has lost, but his hand-over to his nephew, Mr Ooi Sin Leong, will continue to mark the continuation of legacy of Kim Chim Tuah and continue serving its purpose to the force of Yin and Yang.

 

Mr Ooi Keat Chye was buried on the 20^th of April 2010. May the soul rest in peace under the will and protection of deities.
