Making Offerings to Me Now & Future will Produce Equal Merit This is blessing power of Buddha, ordinary beings cannot understand this. 6 Mantras 8 Auspicious Symbols box for crystals. Exquisite copper & Tibetan silver box lined with dark red velvet. Double vajra on bottom. Many Buddhas on the sides. A proper altar holds images or representations of Buddha’s enlightened body, speech & mind which serve as reminders of the goal of Buddhist practice-to develop these qualities in oneself so as to be able to fully benefit all sentient beings. The reason for setting up an altar is not for fame, showing off wealth, or to increase pride, but rather to reduce one’s mental afflictions & to seek the ability to help all sentient beings. The best place for an altar is in a separate shrine room, but if you live in a small place & cannot set aside a separate room for worship, any room can be used. The size of the altar is not mportant, but it should be in a clean & respectful place, higher than the level of your head as you sit facing it. If it is in your bedroom, the altar should be placed near the head of your bed, never at the foot, & it should be higher than the bed. The altar should be either on a separate shelf or on a table set aside for this purpose that does not double as a coffee table or night stand. Place offerings a little lower than the objects of refuge on your altar. When you awaken in the morning, it is customary to wash at least your face before approaching the altar to offer prostrations & then offerings-this is a sign of respect for the object represented there. One is making offerings as if one is accepting a dignitary or a great being into one’s home, & it is important to be gracious & respectful. The Silver is adorned with the 8 auspicious Tibetan symbols: Protection Parasol, Golden Fish, Great Treasure Vase, White Lotus, Right-Turning Conch, Endless Knot, Banner of Victory, Wheel of Dharma. On top is fierce guardian Chepphu. Exceptional piece.
