Posted on December 14, 2016 #1 AuthorThank you for a very clear explanation and guidance for making the serkym offerings. The explanation for using the different offering like milk and tea is explained helping us to decide which drink for different purpose.
The verse by verse explanation is also very helpful as then we will know when and how to pour the serkym. The serkym will enable us to collect merits so as to be able to receive Protector’s assistance.
A very clear and well explained video.
