Hahaha! Its worthwhile to study each of the Paramita in the above Chart & really know what you lack in your Cultivation Path.

A thorough understanding of Buddha's teachings is the Crucial Key to remain in the Bodhi Path that ultimately ends in Fruit stage or Nirvana.

Now, have you ever spare a thought for the needies?

When you do event registration, have you ever heed GM Lu's advice to also give charitably to the needies?

GM Lu said that if you can afford it, offer supplies to earth deities & spirits, remember this?

A fellow student asked me what to offer for the upcoming Avalokitesvara Boddhisattva's Attainment Anniversary, and I sent her the above chart and advised her to register Dana package for the Homeless spirits or solitary souls and wild ghosts.

 One of the above tub of offering is dedicated to Homeless spirits & another to earth deities and spirits by fellow students.

 The above is Pure Karma's standard Dana tub of offering with addition of a share of Homa offering in a nicely design flower box. 

 The lotus flower & the boat are made by a fellow student in offering.

Yes! 

Pure Karma welcomes sincere sponsors that want to do their part for the benefit of all beings. :)

Please note that Pure Karma has final decision as to how and when to offer items sponsored, or whether or not to accept items sponsored.

Lets not create any unhappiness for self as well as others by forcing any issues.

Items that emit poisonous fumes or wet items will not be offer into the Homa fire.

Dana is also in the Resource Path of Dharma Cultivation.
