The Chinese typically present offerings as a way of paying homage to their ancestors and departed loved ones. The offerings vary, and usually include flowers, cakes, fruits, vegetables, rice and tea.

Do you know that various offerings have their respective significances?

Most commonly used as an offering, fruits symbolise the truth of karmic cause and effect. The fruits of spiritual attainment lead towards the ultimate fruit of Enlightenment, which is the goal of all Buddhists. Such offerings thus urge us to strive towards Enlightenment for everyone.

Fresh and beautiful flowers, which later wither and lose their scent and colour, remind us of the impermanence of all things, including our lives. Offering flowers reminds us to treasure every moment of our lives and not be attached to material things.

Burning incense fills the air with fragrance, which symbolises the virtue and purifying effect of wholesome conduct. Burning incense also urges us to cease all evil and to cultivate good conduct.

With this knowledge, do take the opportunity to hold the Buddha’s teaching in your mind while making offerings to your ancestors and departed loved ones this Qing Ming Festival.
