Sembahyang Rebut

You can conclude by reading any other rituals above, that Chinese really believe in spirits, both good and bad. On the 15th in the 7th month in Lunar calendar, they believe that the gate between life and death is opened, letting all spirits go into our world.

To avoid being disturbed by the presence of evil spirits, they have to “send” something useful to them through papers-formed stuffs such as money, clothing, and any other stuffs that will eventually be burned. “Rebut ritual” will be held in every temples in Bangka island, so if you wanna come and join, feel free to do so.
