Editing Weixinism (section)

==Rituals==
Taiwanese scholars have interpreted Weixinism as an institutionalized form of traditional, non-institutional Chinese folk religion.<ref name="Chang"/> Ritual, including chanting, is central in the movement. It includes daily ritual services at the headquarters and in the branch temples, as well as larger and more elaborate ceremonies. The movement believes that the systematic chanting of mantras by its members has averted or alleviated a number of world catastrophes.<ref>Hun Yuan (2016a), pp. 149–154.</ref>

Starting in 2004, the Weixinist Church has organized each year on January 1 in Taipei's Linkou Stadium the "Unified Ancestor Worship Ceremony for Chinese in the 21st Century", to bring peace to the souls of all ancestors, particularly those who perished in the many wars fought during Chinese history. These ceremonies draw crowds in excess of 30,000 each year. Presidents of the [[Taiwan|Republic of China]], cabinet ministers, and other political leaders have also participated.<ref name="Chang"/> Weixinism believes that ancestor worship ceremonies have a crucial role in promoting world peace and ushering in a future millennial era without conflicts that would last for 5,000 years.<ref name="Huang"/>
