3. Burn your head with your heart and concentrate your thoughts. We need three heads first. After asking for incense, I meditated: "XXX, please offer morning incense to Guanyin Bodhisattva and all Bodhisattvas today, and ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless XXX." After you stand up, make a wish, say what you want to pray, and then ask for three heads.
