Offering monks meant the quarterfinals birth homeowners shopping (food, clothing, medicine, clinical trial). Today, apart from the offerings of food rising son, the section quarterfinals of the vehicle by a gift symbolizing purity and little monks discretionary resources to purchase what is needed consistent, and thus would be more useful .

Boys increased offerings based on spontaneous mind of the owner voluntarily Buddhists. So, "Silver ceremony sincerity" is one of the important factors when implementing this Buddhist offerings.

Let me recount a story old lady worshiping the Buddha lights:

The Buddha's time, there was a poor old woman, begging the date. The old woman begging for poor circumstances, every day just to make ends meet know, should have never met the Buddha. However, the old woman quietly admire your glass Buddha.

One day Buddhist festival offerings and monks from the Buddhist lay household wealth, power, for those who are slaves of good will tingle pilgrimage. Close to the festival, nearly pulled off slave tingle Vihara Member States.

At this, the old woman thought: A starving his life, the old, old sun coming out, if Congress does not meet Buddha never met him. Thinking like that, just once in granny begging along the road, just near Jetavana monastery, where the Buddha and the monks were staying.

In the neighborhood of Jetavana, a splendid spectacle, unprecedented splendor, horses and chariots crowded, full of people all the hard wedge roads residence. Along the streets, the flowers, hanging lights to offering Buddha and Buddhist monks. The lights brightly gilded king class of his ministers, besides the smaller lamp offerings row population. Everything kind of bright lights, bright colors all over the eye.

She thinks her old self only capable of offering Dharma Increase a little light, do not need anything for myself, but wish that He is the Exalted, the higher compassionate, could bring France nectar help sentient beings escape rebirth. Noble vows with your Mind "because people do not because I" the old woman, the witness tri Buddha.

Then, she plunged a fortune off only 2 cents, to buy a small lamp and kerosene. Member States towards the old woman Vihara, bowed toward the Buddha, the Buddha evidence tri desire for a pure heart and a vow glass.

Three days and nights passed, wilting flower garlands, lights turn off withstand dry and oil. Only a small lamp of poor old woman begging still lighted. weird phenomenon that, everyone should go watch TV together, everyone thinks it is rare, this ancient unprecedented. A wealthy benefactor to ask the Buddha said: Why small lamp, the other less oil, still lighted?

Buddha said: Because that is the lamp of a benefactor, though poor, but respected Dharma Center Increases and noble virtues that offered unsurpassed light. 

The old woman's heart just pray that the light from illuminating wisdom and compassion to all creatures. Since the pure heart of Virtue paramount that, should the lamp Buddha Buddha nature manifests center of the old woman still am not off forever. The other lights but more luxurious, larger, but by the ordinary mind being selfish, self-interest for the offering, and seek their own greed for themselves. All lighted only in a short time, it all limp off.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=THE EIGHTFOLD PATH.NAM MO SAKYA MUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.9/8/2014.
