A THOUSAND-FOLD OFFERING RITUAL by Gser mo mtsho གསེར་མོ་མཚོ། A Thousand-Fold Offering Ritual was held by monks at my home in Ban ser Community, Mgo mang (Guomaying) Township, Mang rdzong (Guinan) County, Mstho Lho (Hainan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Mstho sngon (Qinghai) Province, PR China on Thursday, May 25, 2023. This involved offering butter lamps, holy water, incense, prostrations, and circumambulation, with each activity being performed a thousand times. Stong mchod is an important spiritual practice helping practitioners overcome their fears and attachments, purify negative karma, and develop compassion and wisdom. The primary purpose of this ritual was to assist my sick grandmother, a devout Buddhist. Despite receiving medical treatment, her condition did not improve, so my family sought hope and healing from religious practice. My family invited 6 monks from Klu tshang Monastery to conduct the ritual. My family gave 300 RMB and offered kha btags 'a strip of silk'. The total cost of the ritual was approximately 4,000 RMB.
