English version: Empower the food with the mantra of Akashagarbha Vidyadhari (the consort of Akashagarbha Bodhisattva) and the extensive mantras. This is called Dharma offering. After the offering, according to the recitation method, dismiss (108 times) the fire 𤙖 ritual. First, protect and recite according to the previous method. Regarding the fire ritual, there are roughly four types. The first is the Shantikara ritual (pacifying ritual), which should face north. The shape of the furnace should be round, and all the offerings should be white (mainly based on Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, but each section has its own corresponding methods). This is for pacifying disasters and eliminating sins. Clothes and images should all be white. The second is the Paushtika ritual (increasing ritual), which should face east. The shape of the furnace should be square, and all the offerings should be yellow (mainly based on Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva). This is for fulfilling wishes and achieving all kinds of auspicious things. The third is the Abhicharuka ritual (subjugation ritual), which should face south. The shape of the furnace should be triangular, and all the offerings should be red (mainly based on Vajrapani Bodhisattva). The fourth is the Vashikarana ritual (attraction ritual), which should face west. The shape of the furnace should be octagonal, like a lotus leaf, and all the offerings should be sandalwood-colored. This is for wanting to see great people and seeking the method of love and respect. The above four furnaces are all one cubit long (small cubit is one foot and eight inches), and the depth is half of the length. At the bottom of the furnace, use mud to make a single-pronged vajra (a ritual implement), the vajra is eight fingers long. For the round furnace and the octagonal furnace, make a Karma Vajra (a crossed vajra). The lips of the furnace should be made in three layers, gradually decreasing from the inside to the outside, each layer being four fingers wide (totaling twelve fingers wide). Flowers can be painted on the edge of the lips, and if you can't paint, visualize them. The firewood, incense, flowers, and other items should all be placed on the right side. Three times a day (sunrise, sunset, midnight), recite 108 times each time. The firewood can be made of elm wood, Albizia wood, mulberry wood, cypress wood, pine wood, etc. Each piece of wood should be split and cut to the size of a middle finger, twelve fingers long, without knots, and straight branches should be taken. Choose young trees of medium color, do not use old, dry trees or trees with insects. When picking, you must look for good omens before picking. If you see unfilial people, incomplete people, women, evil birds and beasts, etc., do not pick, and... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Prepare yellow rock sugar and rock candy, providing as much as one's ability allows. First, perform the offering, summoning, boundary-setting, and self-protection rituals. The boundary-setting method is as previously described. When setting the boundary, add the earth-peg, vajra wall, vajra net, vajra flame, and Acala (immovable) knife-mudra mantra, etc. When summoning, summon the Dharma-protecting Heavenly Kings of the eight directions individually, reciting each seven times, all using the vajra summoning mudra. First, make offerings to Agni (fire deity), reciting the Agni mantra and offering three ladles of five-grain balls and benzoin, etc. Then, visualize and universally offer to the Five Buddha Families, reciting the extensive mantra and the Ākāśadhātvīśvarī (space-matrix queen) mantra, etc. Next, recite the mantra of the principal deity, burn firewood, dipping both ends in the three flavors, reciting once and then throwing it into the brazier. One must be calm and composed, not hasty. After all the firewood has been thrown in, begin burning the five grains. Each time reaching ‘svāhā,’ add the desired practice (e.g., ‘so-and-so śāntika svāhā’), and sprinkle fragrant water over all the offerings and the fire, etc. When sprinkling water, recite the Kuṇḍali heart-center mantra. The initial mantra for igniting the fire is: om̐ bhū jvala 唵 部 𠷈惹嚩(triple) 逻 (repeat thirty-seven times) Use a fan to fan the fire, do not blow on it with your mouth. If the fire is obtained from a clean place within the temple, do not use the unclean fire from a common household used for cooking meat. Otherwise, you must obtain fire by drilling wood, and still do not blow on it with your mouth. Use two incense burners, burning medicinal incense and agarwood on the right side of Kuṇḍali, and burning benzoin, frankincense, or white resin on the left side of Kuṇḍali. The quantity of offerings depends on the circumstances, being abundant or frugal as appropriate. If abundant, do not burn too much; if frugal, do not let it be lacking. If unable to prepare offerings, then in the latter part of the night or in the morning, visualize and make extensive offerings, reciting the extensive mantra and the Ākāśadhātvīśvarī mantra more often. You can also throw wood to burn and should observe the appearance of the fire. The color of a good fire should be white, yellow, or red. If it is black or blue, it is an inauspicious sign. Also, listen to the sound of the fire. If you hear a pleasant, musical sound, it is a good sign. If you hear the sounds of pigs, dogs, donkeys, mules, or owls, it is an inauspicious sign. If the flame emits light, flickers, and flows smoothly, it is a good sign. If the flame is weak, the smoke is dense, and it is irritating, it is an inauspicious sign. If the flame bursts and scatters, it is also not a good sign. A good fire does not make people feel hot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
