大薈供 Ganachakra

逐字之意,薈供意謂'供養盛宴',通常在一個盛大靈修聚會後舉行,以對身為一切證悟者之總集體的上師、諸佛菩薩、勇父空行、男女護法以及當地神靈表示感恩,感謝他們護持聚會,使之順利進行,因而一切皆吉祥無礙。

Ganachakra literally means 'feast offering'. It is normally conducted at the end of a great spiritual gathering as a token of appreciation to the Guru who is the embodiment of all the enlightened ones, the Buddhas, the Bodhisattvas, dakas and dakinis, protectors and protectresses, as well as the local deities for supporting the spiritual gathering, which allows it to be completed auspiciously and to take place without obstacles.

我們必需以恭敬心對待薈供所供養的一切物,因為它們皆是為一切眾生供養的罕有物,主要表達對上師、三寶、三根本與三身的虔誠與感恩 。

All offering items in the practice of Ganachakra are treated with utmost respect as they are considered to be uncommon offerings made on behalf of all sentient beings without exception, for uncommon purposes of displaying devotional appreciation towards one's Guru, the Triple Gems, the Three Roots and the Trikaya.
