Background of Fire Rituals
Fire ritual is one of the few efficacious secret Tantric rituals performed by a Tantric master for accomplishment both personal and universal objectives and goals. Involving a series of preparatory rites, the actual fire offerings include meditative visualization, Tantric transformation, Mantra recitation, offering of ritual cakes, burning of medicinal herbs and substances through homa-rites besides other. Prayers, invocations, and offerings are mostly made to one’s spiritual guru Buddha Shakyamuni, meditational deities, the eonic Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Dakas and Dakinis, Dharma-protectors, guardian deities, and treasure gods.
In general, the four types of fire rituals which will be conducted are:
- Peace Ritual For Purification Of Negative Karma;
- Proliferation Ritual For Increase Of Positive Karma And Furthering Of Physical And Mental Well-Being;
- Subduing Ritual For Protection From And Subdual Of Harmful Forces; And
- Forceful Rituals For Eradication And Extermination Of Harmful Non-Humans Forces And Evil Spirits.
All rituals are conducted through strict observance of Tantric precepts and commitments, genuine admiration for the teachings of emptiness, and simultaneous cultivation of unconditional love and compassion towards all sentient beings including the harmful spirits.
