Buddhism is so amazing in the fact that it is excepting of diverse cultures and enriches our lives with its amazing philosophy. It is really an inclusive religion and that is why it is always unique in every country that it has developed in.

Khatas are an amazing means to create affinity with the Buddhas when you enter a temple. It is also offered the Lama's throne to create causes to have deeper Guru devotion or finding a Lama of authentic lineage.

I think it is really neat that Kechara House educate the public when they meet with HE Tsem Tulku Rinpoche on how they can offer a khata to a high Lama. It may be Tibetan tradition but its meaning is steep in spiritual practice.

[bhusukumode]

I have seen how a high Lama in public doesn't have time to receive khata offerings from everyone is thrown khatas instead. It is beautiful sight because there is so much khatas descending...

[Dungkar80]

Offering a khata is a standard protocol when greeting a Lama especially when we have not seen him in a long time.

yap7128: Oh yeah, you can get nice large Dzambala or Lama Tsongkhapa or Vajrayogini from Kechara Paradise. It is very nice and Kechara Saraswati can do the jewellery or traditional clothes.

I treasure the khata that Rinpoche offered me on my altar because it reminds me of my refuge commitments, Bodhisattva and Guru devotion commitments.

White is the normal Tibetan color for their Khatas. Blue is for Mongolians. So for Chinese? Red maybe?

I want to buy Red colour khata for my Vajrayogini statue at home to make offering. Thank you Rinpoche for teaching me on this. Also to get bigger statue home that bring a lot of merit for us.

I am going to buy a lot, a lot of Khatas and keep it as a gift item for anyone i see in the future, I didn't realise it is such a beautiful gift for other, only after I heard this teaching on khatas. Thank you Tsem tulku Rinpoche. I won't leave home without Khatas in the future....
