Question about torma offerings on my shrine
Posted by Zach W January 16, 2015 1 104
Dear Rinpoche,
Thank you for the fantastic commentary to be Karma Shugden manifestation and thank you for revealing this special practice. Could I humbly request that you share with us other special practices of the rest of Dorje shugdens 5 lineages as well ?
With Torma offerings I put on my shrine in general am I okay to do as you say for this practice take them down and replace them with clean ones and eat the old or respectfully dispose of them?
Once again thank you very much for opening the door to further understanding of this practice.
Please remain in this world for a very long time.
Kindest regards

January 16, 2016 #1 AuthorDear Zach, You can eat the old ones when you are done offering the tormas. You can replace them with new ones too. You can change as often as you like. You can also respectfully dispose of them. TR
