Incense offerings
(the first may be used for tea or flower offerings, with appropriate words inserted)
In gratitude we offer this incense
to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
throughout space and time
May it be as fragrant as earth herself
reflecting our careful efforts
our whole-hearted awareness
and the fruit of understanding
slowly ripening
May we and all beings be
companions of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
May we awaken from forgetfulness
and realise the Pure Land
*****
The fragrance of this incense
permeates our practice centre
and goes forth to worlds beyond
In the sincerity of our training
the Sanghakaya is revealed
hearts and minds bow in gratitude
Offerings multiply like the action
of the all good one
and the light that knows no obstacle
fills the Dharma realm.
