Additional Video: Offering Even a Single Flower to the Buddha
Introduction
Without the right karma, happiness, liberation, and enlightenment are simply not possible. In these two videos, Lama Zopa Rinpoche describes the karmic importance of making offerings. Rinpoche clearly presents the power and benefit of making offerings to holy beings and holy objects, the power of doing actions with a bodhichitta motivation, and the importance of developing a mind of compassion as a pre-requisite to actualizing bodhichitta. Rinpoche encourages us to make even the smallest and simplest offerings, outlining the unbelievable results we can expect to experience as illustrated by stories of the past.
These teachings were given during the Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga Retreat held in Italy in September 2004.
