Bumba 

The Water Offering Bumba, a sacred vessel in Tibetan Buddhist rituals, originates from ancient Himalayan traditions where offerings of pure water symbolize clarity, generosity, and the purification of negativities. Placed on altars during daily pujas or elaborate ceremonies, this Bumba serves as a channel for devotion and spiritual merit. According to Himalayan monastic lore, revered lamas once used water offering vases filled with blessed water and sacred herbs to bring healing and protection to communities, highlighting their profound spiritual power. Today, this handmade Bumba continues to support practitioners in cultivating merit, enhancing meditation, and deepening their connection to Buddhist teachings.
