Significance of The Seven Water Bowl Offering

There are plenty of ways to show gratitude and devotion both in shrine rooms and during the sacred practice. Placing different gifts is one of nature to accomplish this. In Tibetan tradition, the offering of the seven or eight bowls (Tib: Ting) of water is a common practice by most practitioners.

The making of offering is a practice that helps eliminate clinging and miserliness while also building up good potential. The orthodoxy in Buddhist culture is making the seven-water bowl offering on an altar each day. It is kept in front of and a little below the representations of the Three Jewels. Brass, bronze, or silver is used in the making of the bowls. They have a diameter of about three or four inches. Auspicious designs in repoussé gold or silver inlay often ornament these bowls.
