The Secret Method of Praying to the Five Thunders of the High Heaven's Golden Palace
Volume 99 of Dao Fa Hui Yuan
The Master said: Thunder is the deity of creation in heaven and earth, and rain is the virtue of nurturing in heaven and earth. Wind, clouds, thunder, lightning, rain, hail, and thunderbolts are the means by which grace and virtue are bestowed. Those who raise thunder are each managed by powerful warriors. The Five Thunders belong to the Five Directions, forming the Five Qi. The true qi of Hunyuan is called Heavenly Thunder. Yin and Yang follow to bring life and death. Apart from the main departments of the Five Thunders, the Wind, Rain, and Thunder departments have their own Thunder Gods who drum and operate to push the chariot, raise water, and generate all things. From this, it can be deduced that the deities of wind, clouds, thunder, lightning, rain, hail, and thunderbolts have significant merits. Practitioners of the method should submit memorials to the Golden Palace of the High Heaven, and send documents to the various Thunder Departments, requesting the dispatch of military forces to assist in divine works. They can be prayed to, used to strike and punish, used to cure diseases, and used to subdue evil. Through this, the path to immortality is not far. Respect it and be cautious.
