Product Introduction

[About Buddhist Altar Sets and Offerings] During memorial services, anniversaries of death, and Obon (Buddhist festival), food is offered at the Buddhist altar. While not commonly used for daily visits, it is an essential Buddhist altar item for significant occasions such as memorial services. A set typically includes five bowls, a tray, and chopsticks for offering white rice, soup, and three side dishes. However, simpler sets offering white rice, soup, and pickles are also available. Both types of Buddhist altar items embody the sentiment of offering hospitality to ancestors and loved ones through a meal. In Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, where the deceased are believed to become Buddhas, food cannot be offered. However, in other Buddhist sects, it is acceptable to use food as an offering.

【About this product】 This is an imitation (food sample) of five basic offering dishes. It's especially useful during the summer months when food spoils easily and hygiene is a concern, or when you can't prepare real offerings due to pets.

Simply place it on the Buddhist offering tray; the bowls won't get dirty, making cleaning easy. Even if dust accumulates, it can be easily cleaned with water, making it convenient for busy people or those new to handling Buddhist offerings.

Each offering can be used separately, allowing for flexible use, such as offering only cooked rice.

【Contents】 Rice x 1, Soup x 1, Side dish x 1, Salad x 1, Pickles x 1 Compatible with standard Buddhist offering trays including rice bowl, soup bowl, tall stand, flat bowl, and jar bowl.
