Mandala Offering - Hand Mudra Version

Konchog Zhenphen demonstrates the traditional mandala offering, one of foundational ngondro practices in all branches of Himalayan Vajrayana.

As for the benefits of mandala offering, it is said that it will help to perfect entirely the six transcendent perfections, which are the foundation or support for all the qualities of the paths and bhumis.

In essence, mandala offering is described as offering the universe. As it says in a tantra:

Through offering to all the buddhas in their pure realms
The entire billionfold universe,
Adorned with all kinds of desirable gifts,
The wisdom of buddhahood is perfected.
