Buddha Quote

Tuesday September 29, 2026

Offerings
Sometimes we forget the significance of offerings. How often do
we offer light to Buddha images perfunctorily (just because the
light is out?), not remembering its significance to be "the
importance of fuelling our inner light of Wisdom that dispels the
darkness of ignorance?" And when we offer flowers that are
supposed to be reminders of impermanence, do we not sometimes
make a fuss out of how pretty they look (that's attachment to
beauty!) as we arrange them? Sometimes we even remove withered
flowers from the altar quickly with certain disgust, without
second thought or reflection of the truth of impermanence. When
rituals become routine, the unmindful tend to forget their
significance, rendering them hollow and meaningless. Offerings
ultimately benefit those who offer. And when those who offer do
not do so wholeheartedly, there is hardly any benefit at all.

We offer Daily Buddha Quotes & Meditations for a more peaceful life. The quotes of Buddha you see
here are interpretations of Buddist concepts. As we know, there are many Buddhas, as well as many incarnations
of Buddha. The quotes of Buddha we publish here may not be exact words, but perhaps they are -- there may be
an incarnation of the Buddha right next to you, but you haven't recognized the Enlightened One yet!
