Suggest to use this type of <Windproof lighter> for strong fire and to avoid burning fingers.
建議可用這一類《防風打火機》，火力強而且可以免燙傷手指。

Sharing of Home smoke offering. Recently found out the Vegetarian <Five Cereals Powder> in the Chinese Medical Hall. And it is really suitable to burn with with the Smoke Food Incense. Five Cereals Powder contain great stuff like Unpolished rice, Oats and so on. Please remember to light up the Five Cereals Powder with Smoke Food Incense on top in order to burn up smoothly.
* Please remember to choose the Five Cereals Powder that suits vegetarian.
居家煙供分享。最近在中藥材店發現的素食《五穀粉》，非常適合加添加在《煙供粉》一起點燃。五穀含有糙米、小麥等豐富材料。請記得要加煙供粉在五穀粉上才能夠順利點燃和燒起來。＊＊請記得要選擇標榜素食的五穀粉。

If using the Smoke Offering Incense Burner as seen above white burner with mantra print in it, you have to use a mold (as seen in picture) to shape up the incense powder in order to burn smoothly after covering it up. Note that in this way, the smoke is less as compared with using incense burner without cover.
如果用煙供爐（以上白色爐含咒語）的話，需把煙供粉用模型具（看圖片）印上模型体才能夠在放上蓋以後順利點燃。請注意用這方式的話，煙會比較小過與用無蓋爐。

Just a picture for reference of what we can visualize when performing <Nectar Food Offering Ritual> and <Smoke offering> .....ofcourse there could be more than this !

參考畫面：在《甘露施食》和《煙供》時的觀想。。。當然還可以比這些還豐富。

*Karmic creditors (own karmic creditors, loved ones' karmic creditors), ancestors (and their karmic creditors etc), aborted children or unborn children...etc

It is simple and will not take too much of your time. Simple ritual yet full of compassion, meaningful, rewarding in countless ways !

It will helps a lot and benefit to the living beings if we can burn this food incense along while practicing the [Food Offering Ritual].

Use undamage incense burner (please take note of safety) and burn the food incense at doorway of your premises, balcony or outdoor , practice the sequence of <Smoke Food Offering Dharma> with devoted heart daily, as time goes by will receive the blessing from Buddha and protect from The eight groups of transmundane beings, especially for the massive worldly bad karma, it will be lessen or vanish, various wishes will come true, mainly due to the routine meritorious offering and cultivation of Smoke Offering.

If you do not practice Smoke Offering with the Dharma Book, may use undamage incense burner (please take note of safety), place appropriate amount of the incense into it, after lighting it up, chant [Ong Ah Hong] at least 3 times, then think about the smoke turning into limitless offering items that fill in the air. First think about offering to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for blessing: next think about about offering to all protecting dharma holy beings, hope for everlasting stay of true dharma, barrier-free practice, continue to think offering (giving) to living beings in the six realms. ( Deva (God) Realm, Human Realm, Asura Realm, Animal Realm, Ghost Realm, Hell Realm), aborted or unborn children, slaughtered animals, animals slaughtered for food and being eaten, karmic creditors (own karmic creditors, loved ones' karmic creditors..etc), ancestors (and their karmic creditors etc) ... etc. , eliminate the physical and mental sufferings of one another, return to pure land after they satisfy with what they need individually, try to chant Six Syllables Mantra [Ong Mani Ped Me Hong] as much as you can, then dedicate the merits to all living beings in ten realms, to bless all with auspiciousness.

Note: As generally the living beings in the ghost realm eat the food by smelling, so by burning food incense (smoke offering) can also benefit them with the food and other items. In addition with raising of compassion heart, mind concentration in visualizing the smoke turning into nice food and other offering items (e.g clothes, medicine, necessities..and so on) to them, they can receive it all in reality.

You can also start to chant sutra/ mantra (e.g Heart Sutra) or any sutra or mantra which you are confident of to add blessing to the ritual too ! Most importantly it is also our sincere heart and motive that counts!

(Suggest to use a "long lighter" to avoid burning your fingers.)

*冤親債主（個人冤親債主和親人冤親債主等）、祖先（和祖先的冤親債主等）、墮胎胎兒或應生未生胎兒...等等

簡單而且不會佔用您很多時間。簡單但充滿慈悲，意義非凡，功德無量無邊！

我們在行［施食儀軌］的時候也可點施食煙供香，可大力有助衆生。

每天以完整無破損之容器/香爐（請注意安全）在處所門口、陽台或室外以虔誠心點施食煙供香依 [煙供施食法]次第修法，久之必獲諸佛菩薩之加持得到天龍八部擁護，尤其是人世間之諸多惡緣，可得到轉輕或熄滅，種種願望可以心想事成，主要是由於平時有供養和佈施之福德之故。

若不用法本而行供養，可取一無破損之容器/香爐（請注意安全）, 内置適量煙供粉/香（點燃後）持 [唵、阿、吽] 至少三次然後觀想雲煙化成無量無邊供品遍滿虛空，先觀想供養諸佛菩薩，以承受加持：次而觀想供養護法聖眾，以求正法久住，修持無障：繼而觀想供施六道衆生（天道、人間道、阿修羅道、畜生道、餓鬼道、地獄道）、墮胎胎兒或應生未生胎兒、宰殺動物、所殺所吃衆生肉、冤親債主（個人冤親債主、親人冤親債主等）、祖先 (和祖先的冤親債主等）。。等等解除彼等身心痛苦，滿足一切各取所需而去淨土，並盡力多念誦六字大明咒（唵嘛呢叭咪吽），再行回向十方，一切吉祥如意。

注：由於一般鬼道衆生是以吸味道才吃得到東西的，所以點施食香（煙供）也可以有利他們吃到東西。再加上生起慈悲心，專心觀想煙變成好吃的食物和一切福物（如衣服、藥物、日常用品等）佈施給祂們，他們能夠真實獲得佈施的食物與物品。

也可以念誦經文／持咒（如心經等)，或您有信心的經文或咒語加持儀軌。其實發心最重要, 動機決定一切!

(建議用長形的打火機避免燒到手指哦）

*請注意：用食物配合成的香不是一般的香。可按連接網觀看提供的照片做參考。或新加坡哪裏可以買？
