财神殿中主供关圣帝君,左右供奉范蠡、比干。关公是正直、公义的化身,被尊为“武财神”,以表公平守信为生财之本。范蠡以其乐善好施而闻名,有“文财神”之称,盖布施乃福禄之正因。比干因直谏剜心而成圣,被称作“无心财神”,以示富足之真义:财为人所用,心无困于财。本殿亦名伽蓝殿,因关圣帝君乃是伽蓝道场之主保,合寺威灵之统帅。
In the Hall of the God of Wealth, the statue of Yu Guan is worshiped along with the statues of Li Fan and Gan Bi on its left and right hand side. Yu Guan is deemed as the embodiment of integrity and justice and thus is worshiped as the embodied form of the strength of the God of Wealth in order to show that the virtues of integrity and justice should belong to the business code of ethics. Li Fan is famous for his generosity and is thus deemed as the embodied form of the wisdom of the God of Wealth. Perhaps generosity can indeed bring in the wealth and good fortune. Gan Bi is deemed as a Saint due to his act of cutting out his heart to expostulate and is thus worshiped as “the God of Wealth Without Heart”, which shows the ultimate truth about wealth: wealth should serve rather than enslave the human heart. This hall is also known as the Hall of Garan, since Yu Guan is also the main protector of the Bodhimanda of Garan. Hence, it is hoped that this hall can guard Yuantong Temple as well.
