English version: Then, recite the Yanming Zhenyan (mantra for prolonging life) to bless the firewood. Each time you recite it, throw a piece of firewood into the fire. When the fire is blazing, visualize an eight-petaled lotus flower in the flames. Within the womb of the lotus, visualize the syllable 'A' (seed syllable). The light shines brightly, illuminating everything, accomplishing the Great Vajra Longevity Bodhisattva (a Vajra Bodhisattva symbolizing longevity). Next, use the Four Syllable Mantra to invite the Bodhisattva to descend into the mandala and receive the offerings. The secret Four Syllable Mantra is: jaḥ (弱) hūṃ (吽) vaṃ (鑁) hoḥ (斛) Then, make the Half Vajra Mudra with your right hand. Sprinkle water on the fire to purify it. Next, take a vessel filled with melted ghee. Take one thousand and eight stems of Ligusticum sinense, or even one hundred and eight stems, dip them in the ghee, and recite the Longevity Mantra. With each stem, recite the mantra once and throw it into the fire. After throwing all of them, burn offerings such as incense and dairy products. Recite as before, completing the prescribed number, then pour a full ladle of ghee into the fire. Do this at the beginning and the end. If you can make such offerings during the three months of fasting, or in your birth month, or even on your birthday, you can eliminate disasters, increase lifespan, possess great merit and wisdom, and fulfill your supreme wishes. Your travels will be smooth, your official position will be promoted, your wealth will be abundant, and everything will be as you wish. If you seek to have sons or daughters, as well as intelligence, you should bless cow's ghee during a solar eclipse and consume it, and your wish will be fulfilled. Or bless nine-sectioned calamus, and after the three auspicious signs of smoke, warmth, and light appear, consume it, and your wish will be fulfilled. Reciting ten thousand mantras daily will give you unobstructed eloquence. If you seek the freedom to fly in the sky, to become invisible and visible at will, you should use ox gallstone, continuously blessing it according to the previous method. After the three auspicious signs appear, apply it to your feet and forehead, and you will be free to fly in the sky. If you seek any other wishes, just follow your heart in other scriptures, and all will be accomplished, without anything unfulfilled. It will also bring peace to the country, without any disasters or epidemics, with timely wind and rain, and the people will be happy. All the sages will protect your body. The widely proclaimed victories are inexhaustible, as described in detail in the Yoga Sutra. If you are performing a pacifying and life-extending ritual, sit facing north and set up a circular mandala. Visualize all the holy beings as white, wearing white clothes, and offering white food. All the offering implements should be white, and burn aloeswood. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
