About Our Product
This Seven Offering Bowls Set is a sacred ritual object in Vajrayana Buddhism, known as Yönchap, designed for home altars and monastery use. Crafted from white metal, the set includes seven small bowls, each measuring 2.5cm in height and 8cm in diameter, with a base of 5cm and inner depth of 2cm. Lightweight and precisely balanced, this set serves as a visual and spiritual centerpiece for meditation, puja, and devotional practices, cultivating generosity, merit, and mindful awareness.
Each bowl in the set corresponds to an element of traditional offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas: Argham (drinking water) for purity and opening one’s life; Padyam (bath water) for humility and cleansing; Pushpe (flowers) for visual beauty and impermanence; Dhupe (incense) symbolizing ethical conduct; Aloke (light) for wisdom dispelling darkness; Ghande (perfume) for the joyous effort of awakening; and Naividya (food or torma) for nourishment and stabilization of the mind. Arranged on the altar, these bowls create a symbolic ritual space that enhances devotion and meditation.
This Seven Offering Bowls Set is ideal for Tibetan Buddhist practitioners, meditation rooms, and sacred altars. It is also a meaningful gift for spiritual friends or family, emphasizing the cultivation of generosity, mindfulness, and the transformation of offerings into spiritual merit. Designed to harmonize with other altar objects, it supports traditional visualization practices and devotional rituals, providing a tangible connection to the sacred traditions of Vajrayana Buddhism.
Introduction To The Buddhist Offering Bowl :
The primary purpose of any offer is to inspire generosity and reduce our selfishness, stinginess, and greed. Some offerings include the seven symbolic elements: water for drinking and bathing, flowers, incense, light, perfume, and food. Generally, we visualize the water bowls as sensory offerings from left to right. Offering bowls should always be kept face down or stored in a clean and dry place when not in use.
