Extensive Offering Practices

This book contains the Extensive Offering Practice composed by Lama Zopa Rinpoche to create the most merit possible when making any kind of offering. This is one of Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s heart practices for accumulating merit. Also included here is the Yoga of Offering Food to be performed before eating, along with commentary from Rinpoche on the inconceivable benefits of offering and how to combine offering with meditation on emptiness, thereby creating the most extensive merit. 

“We are not aware of the limitless skies of benefit we achieve from the practice of offering, what we can achieve and enjoy from life to life.  Even when you are in samsara, you enjoy good rebirths, wealth, and every happiness. Even just the samsaric perfections are amazing, without adding all those incredible realisations that allow us to offer deep benefit to sentient beings, liberating them from oceans of samsaric suffering and its cause, delusion and karma.”
