Living in the Path

Taking the Essence

MAKING OFFERINGS

We are not aware of the limitless skies of benefits we achieve from the practice of offering, what we can achieve and enjoy from life to life. Even while we are in samsara, we will enjoy good rebirths, wealth, and every happiness. Even just the samsaric perfections are amazing, without adding all those incredible realizations that allow us to offer deep benefit to sentient beings, liberating them from the oceans of samsaric suffering and the cause: delusion and karma.     (Lama Zopa Rinpoche)

This module of Living in the Path consists of a collection of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's inspiring explanations on how to take the essence of our precious human life by making offerings to the Guru and the Three Rare Sublime Ones - Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. 

Originally included in Living in the Path, Module 2: Taking the Essence, Session 3: "Offerings Cause Enlightenment."
