Creating merits is an integral part of our Dharma practice for without merits, we will lack the conducive conditions to practise the Dharma. There are many methods of generating merits - one of the best ways of doing so is by making offerings to a high lama such as His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. Not only will you create the merit of making offerings to His Eminence, but will also create merit if these offerings are given away by His Eminence to benefit others. Making offerings also helps the practitioner to create a connection with the Dharma, to create the causes to receive the Dharma in the future.
