Eradicating Fire Disaster by Splashing Ice Water Practice
TBF-DA Prac-0018


Eradicating Fire Disaster by Splashing Ice Water Practice is a Taoist practice which Lineage Root Guru Living Buddha Lian-sheng taught in his earlier years.

On February 20, 2023, Living Buddha Lian-sheng instructed that the empowerment for Eradicating Fire Disaster by Splashing Ice Water Practice can be bestowed remotely.

The steps of the practice are as follows:
On the nights of the Lunar Calendar Dec. 29th or 30th, and Jan. 1st or 2nd before 11:00 PM, make an ice offering with a rice bowl and place it on the shrine. Splash the ice water out after noon the next day. This will cause the fire god to retreat, and one will avoid fire disasters in the coming year.

The practice is divided into three steps:
The first step: Before 11:00 PM on Dec. 29th or 30th of the lunar calendar, offer a bowl of ice in front of an altar. Place a small plate under the ice bowl to keep the altar from getting wet.
Note: (You can pre-fill more than half a bowl of water in a household rice bowl and put it in the freezer to freeze.)

After 12:00 noon on the first day of the lunar new year, remove the ice water from the front of the altar and splash it out the back door, outside the kitchen window, or outside the terrace, being careful not to wet passers-by.

The second step: Before 11:00 PM on the first day of the lunar new year, offer another bowl of ice (pre-freeze a bowl of water as before), and after 12:00 noon on the second day of the lunar new year, remove the ice water from in front of the altar and splash it outside as described in step one.

The third step: Before 11:00 PM on the second day of the lunar new year, offer another bowl of ice (pre-freeze a bowl of water as before), and after 12:00 noon on the third day of the lunar new year, remove the ice water from in front of the altar and splash it outside as described in the previous steps.
