Considered the king of all pujas, fire pujas are the most powerful within Tibetan Buddhism. They are extremely potent for removing obstacles along the way to enlightenment, and there are peaceful, increase, subjugation and wrathful variations, each with specific benefits.

Fire pujas are complex both in terms of preparation and execution. Intricate sand mandalas are first constructed at the puja site and a wide variety of special substances are prepared. Then a senior lama or practitioner who has the necessary initiations and retreats generates the Yidam or Dharma Protector, invites the deity to enter the fire then ritually offers the purified substances one by one into the fire.

Each substance is offered for a different purpose such as removing non-virtue, negative karma, illness, broken samaya and negative thoughts, as well as increasing lifespan, merit, wealth, material resources, happiness, and strength of body, speech and mind.

Once the fire puja has been completed, the ashes that remain are highly blessed. They can be used as relics, inserted into statues and stupas, worn in a locket, scattered in the garden, backyard or used to bless the land.

Our Blessed Fire Puja Ashes contain a mixture of ashes from Shize, Gyenze and Wangze fire pujas, with the additional benefits of:

• Shize Fire Puja - removes inauspiciousness and problems related to lifespan, wisdom, wealth and growth of Dharma
• Gyenze Fire Puja - increases merit, health, lifespan, wisdom and spiritual wealth
• Wangze Fire Puja - turns negative circumstances around in your favour as long as you have a good motivation.
