6. Transforming the Offering

7. Om Ah Hum Contemplation

8. Dedication of Merit (回向)

Example dedication:

“May the merit from this practice be dedicated to all parents of past lives, teachers, relatives, karmic creditors, and all beings harmed by me through intentional or unintentional killing. May they all be freed from suffering and obstacles, gain great benefit and happiness, and be reborn in the Pure Land.

With this merit, may the Buddha lands be adorned, may the Fourfold Kindness be repaid, and may those in the three realms of suffering be relieved. May all who see and hear this practice give rise to the Bodhi mind. May we, with this very body, be reborn together in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.”

Appendix: Writing the Seed Syllables

The five seed syllables are written symbolically in the air or above the offerings:

• 嗡 (Om)
• 阿 (Ah)
• 吽 (Hum)
• 凡 (Vam)
• 捨 (She / Svāhā)

*This is not the most complete ritual. The details of a smoke offering vary depending on the practitioner, the recipients, and the place. This is simply an advanced version of the introductory smoke-offering ritual.
