At the end of each year, families all value cleaning the altar and pruning the incense sticks.
According to feng shui expert Nguyen Song Ha, homeowners only perform bao sai after completing the Ong Cong Ong Tao worship ceremony or necessary rituals, in order to ask for permission from gods and ancestors.
Prayer before removing the incense stick
Nam Mo Amitābha Buddha!
Nam Mo Amitābha Buddha!
Nam Mo Amitābha Buddha!
My trustee's name is... residing at the address...
Today is the day... month... year... my trustee considers himself not yet perfect, so the incense table is a bit dusty, a bit not yet pure and solemn.
The believer respectfully informs the ancestors (depending on whether the altar worships gods, Dharma guardians, or ancestors...), choose a good day and month today, please allow the believer to purify so that the altar is solemn and pure, respectfully wishing the ancestors to prove and protect.
I hope you temporarily hide and take refuge, to make the house more spacious and beautiful, to make the incense table peaceful, to make the yin part peaceful, to make the family live in a lost land, to make the wealth palace not moving, and the fortune palace not consuming.
We mortals are flesh and blood, full of sins, we only know how to be respectful and sincere, if there is anything infatuated or mistaken, please forgive us and be granted great amnesty.
Nam Mo Amitābha Buddha!
Nam Mo Amitābha Buddha!
Nam Mo Amitābha Buddha!

Today is the day... month... year... considering that he himself is not yet complete enough, so he let the incense table be dusty, my believer sincerely repents.
Believer, I respectfully inform you all (depending on what kind of altar it is, gods, Dharma guardians, or ancestors...), today, if you choose a good day and month, please allow me to purify myself so that the altar is the most solemn and pure, I respectfully ask you all to prove and protect me.
May the gods allow us to clean up neatly, spaciously, and beautifully, for the incense table to be at peace, for the yin part to be at peace, for the family to live in a desolate land.
We mortals are flesh and blood, full of sins, we only know how to be respectful and sincere, if there is anything infatuated or mistaken, please forgive us and be granted great amnesty.
Nam Mo Amitābha Buddha!
Nam Mo Amitābha Buddha!
Nam Mo Amitābha Buddha!
