Significance of the Eight Outer Offerings:
In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the eight symbolic offerings include:
-
Water for drinking – Representing hospitality and refreshment
-
Water for washing – Signifying purification
-
Flowers – A gesture of beauty and impermanence
-
Incense – Purifying the space with fragrant offerings
-
Light – Dispelling darkness with wisdom
-
Perfume – Symbolizing purification and delighting the senses
-
Food – Representing nourishment and abundance
-
Music – Offering joyful sound for the benefit of all beings
While each bowl can be filled with its symbolic offering, it is common to fill all bowls with clean water as a simple yet meaningful act of offering. The eighth offering, light, is traditionally represented by a butter lamp or tealight placed alongside the bowls.

Fill them with fresh water or traditional offerings.
-
Place a lamp or candle to represent the light offering.
