===========================================

Fire Puja or Jinseg as it is commonly known in tibetan is a ritual performed to clear obstacles and obscurations caused by defilements of the body, speech and mind accumulated since the beginning of time. It is also an effective way of accumulating merits.

There are 4 types of Fire Puja: Peaceful, Increasing, Subduing, Forceful.

A Peaceful Fire Puja is performed to pacify the results of unwholesome action, or to clear away obstacles and defilements. It may also be done to forestall impending difficulties and illnesses which have manifested themselves through dreams and inauspicious omens.

There are 13 different kinds of substances required for the fire puja. Every individual substance has its own unique benefiting powers.
