Question asked by danny
dear pastors, nothing much to ask…just that i'm curious about something. what is the significant or what the usage of pouring water from a teapot into a bowl in theravada's transferring of merit? i ask most of the theravadians but they just say sadhu sadhu sadhu. do you know the meaning behind it?

Dear Danny,
I am unsure of the meaning of this. We do not practice this at Kechara since we are follow the Gelug lineage which is Vajrayana. May i kindly suggest finding a qualified Theravada teacher who can answer you. At Kechara we do not use the terminology of transferring merit but dedicating the merit for others. I belief however that the effect is the same, others can benefit from the merit you created.
