About Riwo Sangcho: The smoke offering, called the “sang offering” is a Tibetan Buddhist practice consisting of offering prayers and fragrant incense smoke outside. It is a practice that Tibetan Buddhists have engaged in for over a thousand years.
Riwo Sangcho is a powerful way of removing obstacles before any special activity and performed daily at Tibetan monasteries. This offering enriches one’s environment, pacifies negativities, and increases our awareness of the suffering of all beings, which helps us cultivate a compassionate heart.
