Harvey (1990), p. 173, and Kariyawasam (1995), chapter 1, both maintain that flowers are the most common form of offering.^ Kapleau (1989), p. 193; Khantipalo (1982); and, Harvey (1990), p. 175, particularly in regards to Northern Buddhism.^ Lee & Thanissaro (1998). See also Harvey (1990), p. 173, who in discussing "offerings" states: "Such acts consequently generate 'merit'."^ See, for instance, Indaratana (2002), p. v; Kapleau (1989), pp. 191ff.; and Khantipalo (1982).^ See, for instance, Lee & Thanissaro (1998).^ Indaratana (2002), p. 11. See also Harvey (1990), p. 175, who translates the light-offering verse in part as describing the Buddha as "the lamp of the three worlds, dispeller of darkness."^ a b Indaratana (2002), p. 12.^ a b Harvey (1990), p. 175.^ Indaratana (2002), p. 11. Similarly, see Harvey (1990), p. 173; and, Kariyawasam (1995), ch. 1, sect. 2, "Personal Worship."^ Harvey (1990), p. 173.^ a b c Lee & Thanissaro (1998).^ Khantipalo (1982).^ See also Alms#Buddhism regarding the traditional Theravada offering of providing daily alms to bhikkhus.^ Khantipalo (1982); Lee & Thanissaro (1998).^ Khantipalo (1982); and, Nyanaponika (2000), pp. 298-299. On the other hand, Lee & Thanissaro (1998) identify only meditation as patipatti-puja.^ Kantipalo (1982), n. 1.
