What are Eight Offerings? Why do we make Eight Offerings?

Eight Offerings refer to: 2 kinds of water offerings, flowers, incense, light, perfumed oil, fruits, and music. These 8 items of offering. It was said that this way of offering originated from Indian custom. When a guest arrived at a host’s house, the host would serve him with drinks, washed his feet, followed by hanging a flower garland round his neck, letting the flower fragrance pervades and purifies the guest’s body. Thereafter, the host would lit the lamp, apply some perfumed oil onto the guest to relieve stress, serve food and play music for enjoyment.

The main purpose for making Eight Offerings is to accumulate merits, eliminate our attachments and cravings, and to extend our aspiration to serve all sentient beings. Besides making the offerings to all the buddhas, it is also to practice generosity towards all beings of the six realms, to benefit them, extinguish their hardships, and to perfect our generosity paramita, which is in accordance with what the Buddha said – having great compassion towards all sentient beings! 

依藏密传统，在坛城前必备八供─水、水、花、香、灯、涂香、食子、乐器，乐器代表音乐，以海螺或“丁夏”代表。八供是最简易的一种供养，在寺里有用一千个八供作供养，供养愈多，积聚功德愈多，但发心须正确，心应不执功德。

佛堂八供之功德和意义：
（一）水－－供养诸佛菩萨饮用。
（二）水－－供养诸佛菩萨盥洗。
（三）花－－供养诸佛菩萨一切美好的色。
（四）香－－供养诸佛菩萨世间美好的香。
（五）灯－－供养诸佛菩萨眼识光明。
（六）涂香－－供养诸佛菩萨涂身之油代表世间美好之触。
（七）食子－－供养诸佛菩萨之食物代表味。
（八）音乐－－供养诸佛菩萨世间妙音代表声。
一般面对坛城的八供是由左到右（水、水、花、香、灯、涂香、食子、音乐），这种摆置是供养父续本尊。若坛城所供养的是母续本尊，八供就必须由右至左--水、水、花、香、灯、涂香、食子、音乐。假如坛城有父续母续本尊则可摆两套，或依较多佛像决定，只摆一套。

此水碗为佛堂用品，不适合作为餐具或茶具使用。
