General Info:

Mandala Offering is a preliminary practice for accumulating merit, in which one symbolically offers the entire universe to the field of merit. Mandala is used as an offering made to a spiritual teacher in request for a teaching, the conferring of a set of vows, and for the conferring of a tantric empowerment. It is also necessary in Ngondro Practice to make Mandala Offering.

“Of all the methods of accumulating merit using one’s hands,
none have greater merit than the mandala.”
