Metaphysics Q&A 042 – What fruits and flowers that we shall or shall not offer to Buddhas and Bodhisattva?
The Caller of Master Lu's Radio Program: Master Lu, which types of fruits or flowers should not be offered to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? Can we offer chrysanthemum, rose and lily?
Master Lu: Offerings of fruits and fresh flowers depend on the circumstances of the individual’s family. It is best to offer fruits with fragrance, including apple, orange, mango, pineapple, and watermelon, etc. Fruits such as banana and peach are not suitable for fruit offerings for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is good to offer lucky bamboos to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Chrysanthemum, rose, lily, orchid, and daffodil, etc are good for flower offerings for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Flowers such as peach blossom or morning glory are not suitable for flower offerings for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. In addition, pot plants with soil should not be offered and placed on the main altar.
