Origin and Meaning of the Tibetan Offering Plate

The Tibetan offering plate is an essential element in Buddhist and Tibetan rituals. It is used to arrange offerings for deities, spiritual masters, and protectors. Traditionally, it is filled with rice, flowers, gemstones, or other symbolic objects representing the Seven Royal Offerings :

1. The Mirror – Represents wisdom and clarity
2. Perfume – Symbolizes purification and elevation of the spirit
3. The Lamp – Evokes the light of wisdom
4. Washing Water – Purification of thoughts and intentions
5. Drinking Water – Offering of Hospitality
6. Food – Represents satisfaction and prosperity
7. The Conch Shell – Symbolizes the sound of Dharma spreading throughout the world

In Tibetan practice, making an offering with an offering plate helps to accumulate merit , purify karma and develop a generous mindset.

The Mandala: Symbol of Harmony and Meditation

The mandala depicted in the center of the dish is a powerful spiritual symbol in Tibetan Buddhism. It embodies the structure of the universe and serves as a support for meditation. Its circular shape with symmetrical patterns evokes:

The union of the elements : Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether
Inner and outer balance
The Path to Enlightenment and Spiritual Awakening

In Tantric Buddhism, a mandala is often created from colored sand and then destroyed to symbolize impermanence. In this case, the permanent mandala pattern on this dish invites contemplation and spiritual connection .
