With respect to the registration fee, the F and M together form one group, and the GMF and GMM form another group.

 

2) To liberate any Second or Third Generation who has passed away, whether blessed or unblessed, please prepare the liberation donation in accordance with the collateral liberation standard.

 

3) If your grandmother, grandfather, or parent those who are included in generation 1~7 passes away after the ancestor liberation for generations 1-7, it is a “Person who passes away after liberation.” You must register and offer a donation of gratitude if you a direct descendant or liberate as collateral with a full donation, otherwise.

(It is also possible to liberate just by sending the application form and the donation to Cheongpyeong Link)

 

4) The Donation of Gratitude for the collateral liberation varies with the nationality of the spirit to be liberated. Please refer to the attachment file for group standard.

 

5) There is no need to register the collaterals for an Ancestor Blessing Ceremony. They will receive the blessing automatically when you bless your ancestors at the Ancestor Blessing Ceremony.

3. Ancestor Blessing Ceremony (Generations 1 -196) Schedule Information

1) Ancestor Blessing Ceremonies for generations 1 - 196 have begun from December 2010 and will be held once a month for a 5-month period until April 2011. Generations 1 - 196 are eligible to receive the blessing after 100 days have passed from the day they were liberated and the full liberation donations were offered. They can be blessed when their descendants attend an Ancestor Blessing Ceremony, held on the third weekend of every month. (Schedule is subject to change)

 

2)  Starting from July 2002, ancestors who have become Absolute Good Spirits through the blessing come to separate spirits from their descendants during the holy song session of the Ancestor Liberation Ceremonies. (Angels work with members who have not blessed their ancestors.)

 

3) The donation amounts for Ancestors Blessings are set according to national group (as of August 2003). The blessing donation for generations 1~7 is offered once for the F and includes all four lineages (F, M, GMF, and GMM). However, if blessing the four lineages at separate times, a blessing donation of gratitude (same amount offered for generations 8 and above) is made each time you register. It is possible to offer the blessing donation in parts and to begin blessing generations 8 and above before it is completed.

 

4) The blessing donation of gratitude for generations 8 and above is offered per group of 7 generations. It includes all four lineages (F, M, GMF, and GMM) if blessing them all at once. However, if blessing the four lineages in a particular generation group at separate times, the donation is made again each time you register.
