Guest guest Posted January 31, 2002 Report Share Posted January 31, 2002 Shanti Om - everyone! I see the use of vermillion noted frequently in the many notes in the club and looked into what it was. It apparently is not a spice but a pigment of a red kind. But where does a person purchase vermillion? Or look for vermillion powder to use as an offering? Is it really a pigment as opposited to a spice? I have turmeric available to me would this or could this be used in the place of vermillion for the offering process of rice flour and "vermillion"? The next quesiton is where do people find small offering bowls specifically for this offering use? Is there a specific kind? Should it be made out of a specific material? Is there a web site or individual who has access to these offering bowls on the web to contact? I was looking at the possibilities for the future for my shrine area. Just questions that popped up for me. I am sorry the club area left so quickly and I am thankful the club was able to come so quickly to this site for all of us and thankful for all the hard work that has gone into it. Like the moving of a Shrine and Sangha to a new mountain! -with palms together Yeshe O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2002 Report Share Posted January 31, 2002 Namaste Take your turmeric and some lime juice and you have wet KumKum - let it dry and you have your powder.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2002 Report Share Posted February 1, 2002 Greetings YeShe_O But where does a person purchase vermillion? Or look for vermillion powder to use as an offering? The next quesiton is where do people find small offering bowls specifically for this offering use? Is there a specific kind? Should it be made out of a specific material? I really wish I can help you on this YeShe. Where I am right now, I just go to the Indian Shop and get all my supplies for prayers [more of a one-stop groceries shop]. I hope other members might be able to help YeShe with this. Your question about bowl: personally in my opinion there is no specific type of bowl that you can use for offerings. As long as it is clean and not being use for other daily utensils. Usually I separate these utensils: for prayers and daily use. It dosent have to be a bowl. You can use a try for your offerings.
