In Buddhism, symbolic offerings are made to the Triple Gem, giving rise to contemplative gratitude and inspiration.[1] Typical material offerings involve simple objects such as a lit candle or oil lamp,[2] burning incense,[3]flowers,[4] food, fruit, water or drinks.[5]
Within the traditional Buddhist framework ofkarma and rebirth, offerings lead to the accumulation of merit, which leads to:
a better rebirth in the cycle of birth and death (Pali: vattagamini-kusala)progress towards release from suffering(Pali: vivattagamini-kusala).[6]
These offerings often act as preparation formeditation.[7]
