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
