7-5-2011 Fire Puja 火供

Hi all
The following are photos from Fire Puja held.


This time I added Yellow Jambala & Earth God to the altar. Haha! They help to drink the liqour offered & I did not have the 'drunkard' symptoms.


These are prepare for Special Dedication to Earth Gods as requested. GM said praying to Earth Gods is the fastest way to seek help with finances & career.
Some request are done as token of appreciation to the help Earth Gods gave.


This one we did for all homeless spirits, offering them a chance to accept GM's help to leave suffering of sentient realm & go to Pureland.
We decide to offer a tray to all homeless spirits everytime we do Fire Puja, giving them a chance to accept GM's help to go to Pureland & leave all sufferings behind.


Our offerings increase in variety with addition of Dharma King Crown, cultured pearls (placed in the cnetre of the crowns or flowers) , Ginseng, Herbs, Dragon robe & etc.






We prepare 36 lotuses for all registered attendees. We have more kids joining us this few rounds too. Of course not forgetting the seniors who were reluctant to come but now insisted on coming once we have Fire Puja events.



The kids are good at chanting High King Avalokitesvara Sutra!


Each one take their turn at offering as usual. Study the fire? They have interesting shapes.




Notice a Light Orb at the top right hand corner of this picture? [above]



We completed the Fire Puja & then offered the wine & tea to the earth gods & etc & then we burn the incense prepare specially for them together with scripts & Lingpai(Order Edict).

Our dinner consisted of Chicken curry with Naan & cakes of fried beehoon, roast duck & pork, durains, spagetti, fried rice, special spare ribs, chiffon cakes, durain puffs, varitey of drinks & fruits & etc.

We all had a great time!

Come join us next time.
