How to arrange a petition from anywhere in the world

What a petition is

In Taiwanese practice a 疏文 is the written form of a prayer: a formal document addressed to a deity that states who is asking, gives their birth details, and sets out the single matter being asked for. It is read aloud as part of a rite. The Ministry of the Interior’s page on ceremonies describes the setting these documents belong to; we cite it for vocabulary, not as a claim that a petition makes anything happen. You tell us the matter in your own words; we write it formally, present it, and tell you when it has been done.

One rule shapes everything else: one matter is one rite. The catalog says it in nearly those words on the Peace & Health page, and the Single Wish page adds that a second matter is a second rite. This is not a sales device. A petition that asks for a recovery, a promotion and a reconciliation at once is not one anyone can read aloud with a straight face. Decide what you are asking for first. The six offerings exist so that the matter, once named, has an obvious home.

The six petition offerings

Five of the six are grouped by the kind of matter, and each contains several distinct rites presented as separate tiers; you choose the rite, not just the category. The sixth, Single Wish (一願代燒), is the plain entry: one focused wish, offered once and completed in good faith, for the matter that does not need a category. The table lists what sits inside each, using the names you will see on the offering pages.

Reading the table usually settles the choice. Before Treatment is for the time before surgery or a course of treatment; Safe Travel is for a departure; Moving In is for taking a new home; First Year Blessing is for a child’s first year. The Ancestral Petition is the one offering where the person named may be departed, and the catalog notes that the departed person’s birth details are optional there. When nothing fits and the wish is still plain and single, Single Wish is the honest choice.

What the intake asks, and whose names may be included

Two questions come before payment: “Which rite is right for you?” and “Who is this for?”, meaning yourself or someone else. After payment the intake asks for your full name and your structured birth details: the date, whether it is solar or lunar, the hour or a mark that it is unknown, and the birthplace if you choose. If the petition is for another person, “Who is this for?” takes their name, and their birth details are required too, since the petition is read in their name. One optional field, “What would you like read aloud?”, gives you up to six hundred characters for the matter in your own words.

Whose names may be included is a question of permission, not technique. The Terms ask you to submit another person’s details only where the service permits it and you have the required consent; every petition offering permits a beneficiary, so the consent is the part that rests with you. Delivery closes the form: email or WhatsApp for the record, a WhatsApp number with country code if you choose that, and the date of birth that will open the encrypted PDF. Your private order details stay within the secure order and intake flow.

How the rite is carried out in Taiwan

Every petition page carries the same line at the top: prepared in Taiwan, carried out on your behalf. The sequence is short. The beneficiary is named, the birth details are set down, the one matter is stated, and the petition is prepared with that name record and the rite you chose. It is then formally presented. The published preparation time is seven days, and it starts when the required intake is complete, not at payment; an order whose form is still empty is an order whose clock has not started.

What the house does not do is also fixed. It does not promise a result; the offering pages say the rite is a formal expression of prayer and respect that does not promise a specific life result, and that it is not medical, legal or financial advice. It does not take a second matter inside the first. And it does not begin before the form is complete, which is why the intake asks for the matter in your own words rather than guessing from a tier name.

The completion record

When the rite has been carried out you receive a private completion record for the rite you selected, within the preparation time shown on the offering page. By email it arrives as an encrypted PDF reached through a secure link, and the password is the date of birth you gave, as eight digits in YYYYMMDD form; the PDF itself is not sent through WhatsApp. If you chose WhatsApp, the record comes to the number you gave. Keep it with your order number, which we will ask for if you write to us.

The refund rules are worth knowing before you pay. If no intake is submitted, we send one reminder after thirty days and cancel the order with a full refund after ninety. If we ask for additional material, you normally have fourteen days, with a reminder forty-eight hours before the deadline; if it passes, the order is canceled and refunded in full. Once work has begun or the rite has been performed, a change of mind does not by itself create a refund. Refunds that are due go back to the original payment method. To ask for help or cancel, email us with the order number and the email you used, in your own words.
