Do you have to have a lot of items to offer to Buddha at home?

Buddhism basics

Making offerings to Buddha at home should be based on the conditions of each individual and the family. You can offer flowers, fruits, banners, incense, lights, food, etc. in front of the Buddha statue. When making offerings, you must know the meaning of offerings to the Buddha. For example, offering flowers and fruits is not for the Buddha to eat. ; Flowers are causes, and if there is a cause, there must be a result. These items offered as offerings are representations. Seeing the flowers and fruits offered, it reminds us of the relationship between cause and effect and the principle of cause and effect. If the conditions at home are relatively poor, it can be simplified and everything depends on circumstances. Therefore, when offering Buddha, you don’t need to burn incense or light lamps. The most important thing is to offer a cup of water. Water represents purity, faith and understanding. It mainly reminds us that when we see this cup of water, our hearts should be as pure and equal as water. The six roots are in contact with the realm of six dusts and are determined not to be polluted.
