homa
homa (Skt.). The ancient Vedic (see
Veda) fire ritual in which offerings are burnt for the gods. The ritual was adapted in Buddhist tantra for the elimination of internal and external obstacles. Various categories of homa ritual are delineated in texts according to the chosen aim—pacifying, enriching, subduing, or destroying—and this determines the shape of the hearth to be used, the fire-wood, and the types of offerings to be burnt.
