   First fill the treasure bowl with treasure such as yuanbao, jewels, etc. Place the Tiger Head Vajra command flag and Tiger Head Vajra statue on top of the treasure bowl. With both hands, hold the treasure bowl enshrined with the Tiger Head Vajra command flag and Tiger Head Vajra statue. Take one step outside the front door of one’s house. Face toward the west and take eight steps while reciting, “Wealth God, please come into my home!” 3 times. In this way, one picks up the wealth god of the Renyin Year and brings the deity home. Take the treasure bowl back inside your house and place it in the wealth corner, thus concluding the practice.
