About Our Offering Bowl:

This Tibetan Seven Offering Water Bowls Set is a traditional ritual item used in Buddhist devotional practices to cultivate generosity, mindfulness, and merit. Each bowl is 10cm in diameter, 4.5cm tall, with a 7cm base and a 4cm inner depth—ideal proportions for a clean, graceful arrangement on your altar or meditation shrine. Weighing individually 0.13kg and totaling 0.97kg for the set, these bowls are handcrafted from copper, offering a grounded and elegant aesthetic.

These bowls, used to represent the seven symbolic offerings (water for drinking, water for washing, flowers, incense, light, perfume, and food), are arranged in a straight line and filled daily during puja rituals. The hand-hammered copper construction ensures beauty while supporting a connection to traditional Himalayan spiritual craftsmanship. This set is perfect for practitioners seeking to enhance their altar with authentic ritual tools that honor Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Introduction To The Buddhist Offering Bowl :

The primary purpose of any offer is to inspire generosity and reduce our selfishness, stinginess, and greed. Some offerings include the seven symbolic offerings of water for drinking, bathing, flowers, incense, light, perfume, and food. Generally, we visualize the water bowls as sensory offerings from left to right. Offering bowls should always be kept face down or stored in a clean and dry place when not in use.
