Introduction to the Neshi Rice Pot

The Buddhist Neshi Rice Pot is a traditional ritual vessel originating from the Himalayan regions, particularly Tibet and Nepal, where it has been used for centuries in monastic and household offerings. Crafted from brass, copper, or bronze—often hand-hammered and adorned with auspicious symbols—it holds grains of rice as a gesture of generosity and abundance during daily pujas and larger ceremonies. Rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist principle of “dana” (generosity), the pot symbolizes the wish to nourish all beings without attachment. One legend tells of a humble monk in Mustang who offered a single rice grain daily in his Neshi pot with unwavering devotion, and by the end of his life, it was said that the pot never emptied, even in times of famine—seen as a sign of karmic merit and divine blessing.
