Types of Fire Puja
There are three types of fire puja that can be requested as follows :-
1.Jinsik, jin (giving/offering) sik (burning). Within this there are 5 different types: peaceful,expansive ,magnetising, wrathful and multi (combination of the four). Jinsik fire puja is usually done on a Lama's recommendation or at the end of a long retreat.
2.Sang (purify) This is the purification of the environment, your own physical body and mind which is done through using offerings and fire. Sang fire puja is helpful if there are problems with your business, personally your energy is low, or you feel you are unpopular. It is also a practice done for the environment in times of drought, floods, crops being damaged by insects, cyclones or any kind of inauspiscious circumstances.
3. Sur. This is the dedication to hungry ghosts or the deceased. Hungry spirits can only eat through smell, so by placing offerings of smell in the fire, they can be satisfied. Sur puja is done when a relative or friend dies, especially during the 49 days after the passing away. It is also the practice that is done when there is uncomfortable energy in a house or if it feels as if it is possessed by spirits.
Offerings of flowers, incense, fruit and candles are made on the shrine. Numerous different substances are offered into the fire, which differ between each type of fire puja.
