Notes Regarding This Practice Altar and Gompa Set-upWhen performing this puja extensively, it is best to set out 108 sets of o ff ering

bowls. If this is not possible, then 8 sets will su ffi ce. The o ff erings for this pujaare set out in a unique fashion: Star ng toward the back of the altar and workingforward, one places a row of 8 argham, followed by a row of 8 padhyam, then 8pushpe, and so on, rather than consecu ve rows of all 8 o ff erings.

One should also prepare and o ff er 8 tormas made from the 3 whites and the 3sweets (milk, bu er, yoghurt, sugar, molasses, and honey) in the shape of teardrops. Other o ff erings of food, owers, etc. are op onal.

It is recommended by Lama Zopa Rinpoche to also have on the altar, if possible,a representa on of the Medicine Buddha mandala (obtainable from FPMT Edu-ca on Department) in a mandala house and above that, a copy of the MedicineBuddha Sutra wrapped in ve-colored cloth.

NOTE: When sea ng monks and nuns in the front, it is customary to seat monkson the le side of the throne (when facing the throne) and nuns on the right. During “big pujas” (these are de ned as self-ini a ons or long pujas and pu-

jas with extensive o ff erings, etc.) one can o ff er a s ck of incense for the lama orgeshe to hold during the verses of invoca on.

Ritual ImplementsOne should have both dorje and bell, but no damaru or inner o ff ering.

NOTE: Throughout the preceding text, small symbols of bells or other instru-ments and hand mudras appear in the margins to help the prac oner know whenone should play these instruments or when to do certain mudras. It is hoped thatthese small indica ons will be helpful to those not yet familiar with these aspects

of tantric prac ce. Other symbols and their meanings are: lotus mudraprostra on mudra show the dorje

Practice TipsBecause this is a prac ce belonging to Ac on Tantra, it is best not to eat blackfoods the day one performs the puja. A er the puja, one can eat whatever onewishes, but before doing the puja, avoid black foods.

According to the instruc ons of Lama Zopa Rinpoche, before commencing the ac-tual prac ce, begin with preliminary prayers (found in the “Preliminary Prayers”sec on of Essen al Buddhist Prayers, Vol. 1 ), including prostra ons with Confes-sion of Downfalls to the Thirty-Five Buddhas and the General Confession prayer.




Endnotes:1. Addi ons to the original text from the instruc ons of Lama Zopa Rinpoche.2. Lama Zopa Rinpoche advises to meditate on extensive o ff ering in this and similar plac-

es in the puja. One can do the extensive o ff ering prac ce found on p.45, or once one

is familiar with the prac ce, one may just meditate on extensive off

ering oneself.3. Lama Zopa Rinpoche also advises that it is extremely bene cial to rejoice. During thepuja, rotate your rejoicing medita on in the following way: During the rst seven-limb verse, rejoice in your own merit – all the merit you have accumulated in the past(resul ng in this precious human rebirth), present (following your teacher’s advice,serving others, etc.), and that you will accumulate in the future, all the way un l en-lightenment. Think, “How wonderful, how precious.” In the next sevenlimb verse, re-

joice in the merit of others – all the wonderful things they have done, their quali es,etc., thinking, “”How wonderful, how precious.” In the next sevenlimb verse, rejoicein the deeds of the buddhas and bodhisa vas, including your own teachers and the

lineage lamas. Remember the hardships they endured to prac ce and preseve theDharma, and how many countless beings they have bene ed, thinking, “How won-derful, how precious.” In the next seven-limb verse, return to rejoicing in one’s ownmerit and quali es, then that of others, and so on.

Appendix 2

Extensive Offering Practice

Think that you have received these o ff erings through the kindnessof all sen ent beings. Make charity of the o ff erings to all the hellbeings, pretas, animals, humans, asuras, and suras. Think that youand all other beings are going to make o ff erings to the Buddhastogether. Generate great happiness that you are accumula ng in- nite merit by thinking in this way.

Make o ff erings to all holy objects, visualizing them as manifesta-ons of your own root guru, who is one with all other virtuous

friends. Since the virtuous friend is the most powerful object inthe merit eld, by o ff ering like this, you accumulate the most ex-tensive merit. In his text, THE FIVE STAGES, the savior Nagarjunasaid, “Abandon making other o ff erings; try purely to make o ff er-ings only to your guru. By pleasing your guru, you will achieve thesublime wisdom of the omniscient mind.”

Place your hands in prostra on mudra at your heart. Each meyou make o ff erings, think that you are prostra ng, making o ff er-ings, and that the guru’s holy mind experiences great bliss.

Actual PracticeFirst, we make o ff erings to all the holy objects here in this place,every single thangka, statue, stupa, scripture, picture, tsa tsa, rel-ic, and prayer wheel, by seeing them as inseparable from our ownvirtuous friend, who is one with all other virtuous friends. (Pros-trate, o ff er, and generate great bliss.)




Then, we make all these o ff erings both real and visualized to ev-ery single holy object in this country – all the statues, stupas,scriptures, pictures, all the centers’ altars, every single altar inpeoples’ homes, the prayer wheels, tsa tsas, and any virtuousfriend in this country, by seeing them as inseparable from onesown virtuous friend. We present these o ff erings many mes andin this way generate great bliss in all the holy minds. (Prostrate,o ff er, and generate great bliss.)

Then, we make all these o ff erings, both real and visualized, toevery single holy object in India , including the Bodhgaya stupawhere 1,000 buddhas descended, also we make o ff erings to allthe holy beings in India, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama andother virtuous friends that you have there. By seeing them as in-separable from one’s own virtuous friend, we make the o ff eringsmany mes and in this way generate great bliss in all the holyminds. (Prostrate, o ff er, and generate great bliss.)

We make all these o ff erings, both real and visualized, to everysingle holy object in Tibet , including the Jowo Rinpoche in Lhasathat was blessed by Guru Shakyamuni Buddha Himself, by seeingthem as inseparable from ones own virtuous friend. We presentthese o ff erings many mes and in this way generate great bliss inall the holy minds. (Prostrate, o ff er, and generate great bliss.)

We make all these o ff erings, both real and visualized, to everysingle holy object in Nepal , including Bouddhanath Stupa andSwayambhunath Stupa and any virtuous friends in Nepal. By see-ing them as inseparable from ones own virtuous friend, we makethe o ff erings many mes and in this way generate great bliss in allthe holy minds. (Prostrate, o ff er, and generate great bliss.)

We make all these o ff erings, both real and visualized, to everysingle holy object in the other Buddhist countries such as main-land China, Thailand, Taiwan, Burma, etc., by seeing all the holy




objects as inseparable from one’s own virtuous friend. We makethe o ff erings many mes and in this way generate great bliss in allthe holy minds. (Prostrate, o ff er, and generate great bliss.)

We now make all these o ff erings, both real and visualized, to ev-ery single holy object in the rest of the world , by seeing all the holyobjects as inseparable from ones own virtuous friend. We makethe o ff erings many mes and in this way generate great bliss in allthe holy minds. (Prostrate, o ff er, and generate great bliss.)

We make all these o ff erings both real and visualized to all theten direc on Buddha, Dharma, Sangha by seeing all of them asinseparable from ones own virtuous friend. We make the o ff er-ings many mes and in this way generate great bliss in all the holyminds. (Prostrate, o ff er, and generate great bliss.)

We make all these o ff erings, both real and visualized, to all theten direc on statues, stupas, and scriptures by seeing them asinseparable from ones own virtuous friend. We make the o ff er-ings many mes and in this way generate great bliss in all the holyminds. (Prostrate, o ff er, and generate great bliss.)

We make all these o ff erings, both real and visualized, to BuddhaChenrezig , by seeing Chenrezig as inseparable from His Holinessthe Dalai Lama and ones own virtuous friend. We make the o ff er-ings many mes and in this way generate great bliss in all the holyminds. (Prostrate, o ff er, and generate great bliss.)

We make all these o ff erings, both real and visualized, to the sevenMedicine Buddhas (which is the same as making o ff erings to allthe buddhas) by seeing them as inseparable from ones own vir-tuous friend.

Think about the life stories of the various saints of all the di ff erentreligious tradi ons and how they bene ted others through de-

vo ng their lives to spiritual prac ce and service. Rejoice in theirquali es and deeds thinking, “How wonderful it is, how wonder-ful it is.” (Pause)

Buddhas and bodhisa vas: Con nue by thinking speci cally ofall the incredible things that have been done in the past, are be-ing done now, and will be done in the future by all the buddhas

and bodhisa vas, including your own teachers and the lineagelamas. Remember their quali es, their life stories, the hardshipsthey bore to generate realiza ons in their minds and preserve thedharma, and how they have helped countless living beings think-ing, “How wonderful it is, how wonderful it is.” (Pause)

All: Now, allow your mind to be completely aware of, and rejoice

in, all the wonderful things that yourself, others, and all buddhasand bodhisa vas have done, are doing, and will do from now un-l all beings reach enlightenment. Feel expansive and happy for
