recently there was a posting on the four offerings of water food light and incense. i was curious as to whether there was a particular time or day that these offerings were given. also i would be curious to know what the regularity of these offerings was. thanx! keb ------------------------------------------ "Those who want to be better than the rest have to suffer more." -----------------------------------------

Don't know about other sects, but our sect offers water every
morning, and offers incense and light each time we pray
(usually twice a day) and we change the food whenever it
starts to spoil.

In Nichiren Shoshu, the water is changed in the morning, candles (light) and incense are offered whenever one prays, and also greens are also offered signifying eternal life. I offer the food as soon as I get home from buying it. -- Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Respectfully, Keith Evans kde@heawk1.gsfc.nasa.gov
