Are you able to use a single Shrine to the Heavens to prevent the destruction of multiple celestials (from the appearance of another celestial in your provinces)
e.g. Jurojin's blessing and Ryoshun's Guidance in play, I flip Benten's Blessing while I control 1 Shrine to the Heavens
The previous ruling seems to indicate that I can use the single trigger to activate the Shrine multiple times, but my playgroup is quite opposed to this interpretation, indicating that if multiple celestials flipped in a turn you could protect a celestial each time, ending up with 2 celestials in play.

In your example, no.
A single Shrine to the Heavens will trigger only once when Benten's Blessing is revealed. While traits can trigger multiple times per turn, any one instance of a trait will only resolve once per trigger.
You will have to pick one of your Celestials in play, and the other will be discarded when Benten's Blessing enters play.
