Terjemahan Bahasa: Persembahan Dalam & Luar 内供养/ 外供养
We were at the HSR in Taichung.
We bought a few lunch boxes of meat and rice.
After deliverance and cleansing, we did the Great mandala offering and began to eat.
E shared his with his wife, V.
I told V to chant [Om Ah Hom] to cleanse before offering / eating.
[The Buddha/Divinities within also need to eat 'purified' food.]
J and S immediately asked me why V needs to do offering again with the same box of food which is already offered by E.
Dear readers, have you been reading my blog articles?
What did GM said about offerings? I posted this recently.
In offering, then partaking of the food, one is actually offering to the Buddha and Divinities WITHIN.
When we do Fire Puja, we are offering EXTERNALLY to all Divinities and those listed in the script as offerers receive blessings or merits. Of course participants/attendees are also on the receiving end of these Offering sessions.
V is the only one that came out with [内供养/ 外供养 Internal and External Offering].
She also obediently do the cleansing then offering.
Haha!
GM said everything we do is CULTIVATION!
Read more of GM's articles for they contain great wisdom of an Enlighten One.

Yes, I remember about GM's sermon about two weeks ago where He mentioned that in addition to external fire puja, we could also conduct internal homa as well - in which our hands transform into scoops and our Three Roots in the sky transform into light dots and enter into our heart chakra.
ReplyDeleteSince it resembles the external fire puja. Does it need empowerment to do this practice? Or we can do as you wrote in your post above? Thanks, Lama.
