About Our Offering Bowl
With its finely crafted embodiment of regard and dedication, the Offering Bowls Buddhist Set symbolizes a significant part of Tibetan Buddhist practice. Each of the seven bowls in the set, which are all crafted on oxidized copper bodies and elegantly plated in silver, is used as a vessel for offerings to enlightened beings. These carefully crafted and set bowls have symbolic meaning in Tibetan Buddhism's ritualistic worship, providing practitioners with a material way to show their respect and devotion.
This set, which weighs a total of 5.60 kg, represents the accumulation of virtue and the search for enlightenment and has both physical and spiritual weight. Using these beautiful bowls for the sacred act of offering, practitioners participate in a centuries-old tradition that develops spiritual growth and virtues like compassion and generosity. These bowls help create a sense of spiritual communion and reverence in holy locations by facilitating a profound connection with the divine through ritualistic use.
Introduction to Offering Bowl
The traditional set of offerings, commonly represented by bowls of water, derives from the customary offerings presented to an honored guest in ancient India. The first bowl contains clear water for the newly arrived guests to drink. In the second bowl is water for the guest to wash his or her feet. In the third bowl are flowers, reminiscent of the crowns of flowers offered to women and the garlands offered to men. In the fourth bowl is incense, an offering to please the sense of smell. The fifth offering, pleasing to the sight, is bright light commonly in the form of a lamp, which like the sun, the moon illuminates the darkness. The sixth offering consists of a bowl of scented water. Seventh is an offering of food, commonly in the form of a torma or ritual cake. Eighth is an offering of sound. It is not represented on the altar, but can simply be imagined as beautiful music.
