Me, Damon and Rinpoche
Today we are very blessed to be able to participate in a Naga Puja. The Puja was conducted at East Coast. First Rinpoche started off with some chanting and then we were taught on how to make offering to all Buddhas and Sentient Beings using the Tsa Tsa offering cup, rice and water. The Puja ended with an dedication of merits and a Dharma talk by Rinpoche.
One of the question asked is why are we doing water offering ? My answer, water is the basic of life ? Not sure if I am right :) Rinpoche just gave us a smile. Well according to Rinpoche, water is in abundance and anyone, rich or poor, can make offering using water. And since water is in abundance and usually free, when we make the offering ,we can do it whole heartedly without thoughts of constraint. The important point while making offering is to feel happy and free our mind of all thoughts of constraint.
May the Divine bless all with abundance of the all highest good. Thank you Divine.
