If possible, it is best to worship Tai Sui Bodhisattva more often;
"Tai Sui" is the duty priest in heaven. Forty-eight Bodhisattvas take turns to be on duty. Disasters in the world are constant, and heaven specially sends gods to the world to protect them. One god rotates every year, that is to say, it changes every year, so what we have to worship is the Tai Sui who is on duty every year. Because we don’t know which Bodhisattva is on duty, we try not to use photos. You can use a piece of yellow paper, about the size of A4 or half of A4, write the four characters "Taisui Bodhisattva" vertically on it (or print it on a computer), put it in a frame, and place it vertically on the Buddhist altar, to the right of Guanyin Bodhisattva. This is the position of your left hand when facing the Bodhisattva.
