Kur Sur (Bhutan)

This traditional Sur powder is an offering for beings in the bardo (intermediate state), karmic creditors, and local spirits. Used in Tibetan Buddhist rituals, Sur offerings are believed to nourish sentient beings who suffer from extreme hunger, thirst, and disorientation in the six realms. With fragrant smoke and sacred ingredients, this Sur practice generates merit, purifies obscurations, and supports the liberation of wandering beings.

Symbolism & Meaning

Sur offerings are particularly effective in benefiting beings with strong attachments—especially to food, wealth, or unresolved karma. The aromatic smoke is considered a form of subtle nourishment, received through the senses by those in the bardo and hungry ghost realms. By making this offering, practitioners enact generosity, one of the six perfections, and directly address karmic debts.
