❤This set of tibetan water offering bowls are handmade by Tibetan craftsmen from Tibet in 2000's.From Hepo Town, Baiyu County, the birthplace of the famous Tibetan handicrafts. ❤Details 100% Handmade Pendant material:copper Quantity: 1 set of 7 offering bowls Height: 22mm / 0.87 inches Top diameter:56mm / 2.2 inches ❤ABOUT Offering Bowls (Quoted from: yowangdu.com) The most common type of offering on Tibetan Buddhist shrines are made with seven water offering bowls — called “yonchap” in Tibetan. Placing a set of offering bowls on your altar each day is a way of accumulating virtue and merit and is also an effective means of cultivating generosity. The bowls symbolise the traditional offerings of drinking and washing water, flowers, incense, light, perfume, food, and music. ❤Why Offer Water? As we discussed in a post on setting up a Losar shrine the main point of any offering is a pure motivation to cultivate generosity, and to reduce our selfishness, stinginess and greed. We seek to give with an open, pure heart, with no attachment to what we are giving, and with no motivation of receiving something in return. Paradoxically, as His Holiness the Dalai Lama often teaches, cultivating generosity and devoting ourselves to the welfare of others increases our own happiness in many ways, as we release the painful, stiff worry that accompanies greed and self-centeredness. He encourages us to become selfishly altruistic, to become happy people by concerning ourselves primarily with the well being of others. One reason that we offer water is that water in Tibet has traditionally been considered plentiful and free, and therefore painless to give. The idea is that all of our offerings should be given as freely as we would give water. ❤Another way to view the water offerings is as representing the seven aspects of prayer: prostrating offerings to the Buddhas confessing our wrongs rejoicing in the good qualities of oneself and others requesting the Buddhas to remain in this world beseeching the Buddhas to teach others dedicating the merit of ourselves and others which has been accumulated throughout time, in order that all sentient beings may enjoy happiness and virtue ❤How Should I Set Up the Water Offering Bowls? Traditionally in Tibetan homes, we make our yonchap every morning. If that is not possible, we do it as often as we can. Start with seven clean bowls — called ting in Tibetan — and a pitcher of fresh water. Tibetans usually use silver, brass or copper bowls, which range from very plain to carved and intricately decorated treasures. One by one, pour a little water in each bowl before you place it on the shrine, lining the bowls up from left to right as you face the shrine. The reason to start with a little water in each bowl is that it is inauspicious to have a bowl sitting empty on the shrine. Tibetan Buddhist masters explain that each bowl should be the distance of one barley seed from the next one. Starting from left to right, fill each bowl with water, almost to the top. Again, the common thought is that you leave the space of one barley seed from the rim of the bowl. While setting up your offering bowls, it is common for Tibetans to recite one of the more common mantras, like: — Om mani padme hung (Avalokiteshvara’s mantra) — Om muni muni maha munaye soha (Buddha Shakyamuni’s mantra) — Om tare tuttare ture soha (Tara’s mantra) Others may recite what is called the gyamdro prayer. The prayer can be whatever you choose. What is most important is that you pray with a sincere wish to cultivate generosity and an open heart. In the same spirit, you might visualize that you are offering endless quantities of everything beautiful and precious, plus all the good qualities in our hearts and minds, to a vast assembly of Buddhas. You can put a butter lamp between the third and fourth bowls, or between the fourth and fifth bowls, symbolizing the light of wisdom, dispelling the darkness of ignorance. Once the bowls are filled, it is common to bless the offerings with kusha grass (also called elephant grass) or any kind o
