Offering #3-Flowers

When offering flowers, this signifies the practice of generosity and it opens up the heart!
Remember this when you offer flowers.....it will make your heart sing!...and Buddha's too!

Offering #2- Water to wash the Feet~

Offering water to wash the feet: This is clear water mixed with incense or sandalwood which is made as an offering to all enlightened beings' feet. The symbolic meaning is purification. By cleansing the feet of the enlightened beings, we cleanse all our own negative karma and obscurations. By making offerings to clean the enlightened beings feet, we are really cleaning the "feet" of our own mind.

Buddhist Symbols~ Offerings

The next few days (eight to be exact) we will cover the eight offerings to Buddha. Each one has it's own relevance to honoring the Buddha. I love learning these wonderful things and sharing them on my blog.

Enjoy the next week of offerings and know that as I blog each one I will also physically honor the Buddha with each offering. Join me?


We will start with the first one............

Water...to cleanse the mouth and/or face.


Offering water to cleanse the mouth or face: It signifies auspiciousness or all the positive causes and conditions which bring positive effects. So, make an offering of water which is clean, fresh, cool, smooth, light, delicious, comfortable to the throat and stomach - these qualities are the qualities of auspiciousness.

Blessings of peace~

The Divine Feminine~

Mercy is always borne by the East Wind...
			A Poem to Kuan Yin (Excerpts from The Divine Feminine) Listen to the deeds of Kuan Yin Eternally Divine and wonderful With great vows, deep as the ocean, She saves all the suffering when their cries reach her. Serving the innumerable, She never fails to answer their prayers Even through inconceivable periods of time. Responding compassionately on every side. Giving great, clear and pure vows .... To hear her name, to see her body, to hold her in the heart, is not vaoin, For she can extinguish the suffering of existence

“A man should first direct himself in the way he should go. Only then should he instruct others.”
Buddha
