務邊新咖啡山黃老仙師古廟已經有128年歷史。此廟總共搬遷過三次,在經歷過龍捲風之後,重建一次。廟內有三尊神像供人們祭拜,主神為黃老仙師、左神為關帝(列聖宮)、右神為觀音、而下方則是土地公。 信徒多半是當地居民,但也會有外國人來拜。他們沒有固定的祭拜時間,和天主教不一樣,他們到廟裡以祈求健康為主。因此,發達的居民往後日子都會捐贈回饋給此廟。黃老仙師原先是醫療疾病的神,但經過時間的推移,務邊的錫礦業逐漸沒落,礦工們疾病醫療的需求也因此而變少,所以都不再局限於生病才會來拜神,任何的疑難雜症都會到此拜神以求心安。 |
黃老仙師廟有“保管委員會”,每年都會舉辦人數約四十至六十人的會員大會,而理事皆是由這裡選出來的。今年的招募有十來個十八歲左右的青年人加入組織,目的是為了要培養下一代帶領該廟的理事會。
每年的農曆10月15日,廟方會作大戲,廟前會有許多攤販,也會有卡拉ok的表演,作大戲的天數不定,依據當年捐的信眾人數而定。另外,每五年的農曆10月15日都會有作醮儀式。做醮期間所有居民在三天內不能吃肉,理事也會叫市場的攤販不要賣肉。該廟都會準備一百桌的齋飯供大家早午晚三餐免費享用。茹素原因主要是要不殺生,長養慈悲心,不隨意殺害動物生命。近年來,信徒人數越來越多,祝誕宴席也多達100席,信徒主要來自附近的三個新村,即務邊、拉灣古打、新咖啡山,可見黃老先師廟在當地仍深具影響力。
黃老仙師廟具有團結居民的社會功能。所有不論大小的節日,信徒們都會熱心地出錢又出力幫忙并參與其中。這不僅僅展現了人們的熱心與善心,更可為其他信徒塑立良好的榜樣。這樣的義舉讓一些窮困人家都得以受惠,減輕生活上的負擔。
新咖啡山黃老仙師古廟到今天已經有128年曆史,總共搬遷過三次,過去強風只吹毀戲台是因為有黃老仙師在保佑。
