Fire Puja (Tibetan: jinsek; Sanskrit: homa) is a ritual where, by burning different substances (oil, cloth, wood, spices, etc.), the element of fire is used to accomplish awakening activities swiftly and powerfully.
By invoking the powerful energy of Heruka Chakrasamvara, offering to the fire pacifies obstacles, supports health, fulfills wishes, and enhances merit for spiritual realization and accomplishment. The Heruka fire offering is also considered one of the most effective practices today to transform the mind and purify the results of negative past actions.
Engaging in such an offering (jinsek), or even simply connecting with it, is very beneficial both on the relative and ultimate level.
Benefits:
Pacifies obstacles and helps wishes come true
Balances the elements, supporting healing from illnesses
Protects and pacifies the environment – especially during epidemics
Removes negative energies around us and in the world generally
Pacifies karmic impurities accumulated over countless lifetimes and frees us from unwanted consequences
Increases merit for spiritual accomplishments and transformation of mind
Creates a connection with one of the highest tantric Buddhas
Participation fee: 50 €, of which:
20 € goes to the purchase of substances for the fire offering (as every participant needs to contribute to the ingredients for the ritual to be effective),
15 € goes to support the Buddhist Center, which preserves the unique Drikung lineage practices and is the hub of Lama Sangyas’ activities in Estonia,
15 € goes to the lama conducting the ritual – Drupon Sangyas.
An offering made with pure motivation brings the growth of merit, purification of karma, and removal of obstacles. If possible, one may also give a larger donation than the participation fee.
If someone sincerely wishes to participate but has financial difficulties, a discount can exceptionally be offered.
