Riassunto

Setting up an altar and making offerings are an integral part of the preliminary practices taught by Buddha to enable us to engage in successful meditation. By doing this practice daily, our minds become ripe for realizations. This short text provides a complete explanation of how to set up a personal altar, how to make water bowl offerings, and how to offer them in the most extensive and beneficial way.

This edition includes additional information on water bowls, meditations to use while doing the practice, and a mantra to recite when removing food offerings from the altar to avoid creating the karma of stealing from the Triple Gem.

- Altar Set-up and Water Bowl Offerings
- The Practice of Offering by Lama Zopa Rinpoche
- Guidelines for Completing 100,000 Water Bowl Offerings
