Conversations With My Guru Chapter 11: What Is This For?

That was the question Rinpoche asked me each time I made an offering. This was some 20 years ago. I would babble some reason in response, usually to say it was to repay his kindness, to thank him for teaching etc. I wondered why he kept asking me that question. A possible answer and a probable reason as to why he asked this question dawned on me many years later. Quite recently, I was with some other disciples – some of whom have been with Rinpoche for at least 15 years – and he asked the same question as we made an offering together. They had the same reply that I had in the past. This prompted me to share an experience and my thoughts.
