供養儀式 1.63

1.63

Whenever one wishes to change the offering items and sweep and wipe [the altar], one must first dismiss the holy ones and announce it to the honoured images, and only then sweep, wipe, apply ointment incense, and make offerings. The practitioner says with his mouth: "May the honoured images temporarily depart from the bodhimanda." When sweeping and wiping are finished and ointment incense is applied, he reopens the seats, and having repeated the invitation, the method of offering is as before.
