Tibetan Buddhist offerings

Tibetan Buddhist offerings are symbolic rituals expressing respect, gratitude, and dedication to enlightened beings and spiritual principles. They include items like water bowls, incense, flowers, and light (lamps or candles), representing qualities like purity, compassion, and wisdom. Offerings serve to purify negative karma, generate merit, and create a sacred connection between practitioners and enlightened entities. While physically simple, these acts hold profound spiritual significance, embodying the intention to cultivate virtuous qualities and align oneself with the path to enlightenment.
