Creating a Beautiful World: The Buddhist Practice of Making Offerings

The practice of making offerings has many profound benefits. It uplifts our mind, filling it with positive energy, and it creates abundant good fortune that supports our long-term spiritual practice, helping us to improve our meditations and fulfill our wish for permanent inner peace. In this course we will learn two types of offering practice: how to offer the outer offerings and how to offer a mandala.
