Shrine Room Projects: Wishes and Offerings

When a person makes an offering they often have a specific thought or aspiration in mind, implying an intention as well as a wish. In Shrine Room Projects: Wishes and Offerings, contemporary works by Tsherin Sherpa and Charwei Tsai reflect sacred sites, objects, and practices, complementing the Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room located at the center of the gallery. 

Offerings play an important role in Buddhist practices and culture.
