Bring sacred presence, devotion, and daily spiritual practice into your home with this exquisite set of 7 brass offering bowls, meticulously handmade in Nepal by traditional artisans.
This set comes with a beautiful shrine placemat (6 x 18 inch approx) as shown in the image.
These bowls are designed to grace your altar or shrine, where they can be filled each day with clean water as a heartfelt offering to the Buddha, bodhisattvas, and enlightened beings. This age-old practice is much more than ritual — it’s a profound way to cultivate virtue, open the heart, and accumulate merit through mindful giving.
🌟 Meaningful Daily Practice
In Buddhist tradition, offering bowls filled with water are arranged in a line on a shrine as an expression of generosity, reverence, and pure motivation. The act of offering — even something as simple as water — is considered a foundational spiritual practice that helps:
-
Cultivate generosity and ease attachment to possessions and self-centered tendencies, since water is free and effortless to give yet symbolically rich.
-
Develop mindfulness and devotion, transforming ordinary daily routine into sacred awareness.
-
Accumulate merit (good karma) through the devotional act of giving to the Triple Gem — the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha — and by paying homage to enlightened beings. Purify the mind and create conditions for spiritual awakening, as practitioners offer with respectful intention.
Across Vajrayana and Himalayan Buddhist cultures, the practice of placing seven water bowls (yonchap) on the shrine is deeply symbolic — honoring the seven limbs of practice and fostering compassion, wisdom, and aspiration in the practitioner’s heart.
