Serkyem for the Buddhist Dharmapala ritual

Enhance your spiritual practice with this exquisite Serkyem offering vessel. Both copper cups are artistically decorated with pearl wire and filigree and are silver-plated. Each vessel is adorned with colored stones that lend them a lively elegance and complement their spiritual significance.

The term Serkyem means 'Golden Drink,' a name that reflects its role in Buddhist rituals. These vessels are used as offerings to the Dharmapala (Dharma protectors) on the household altar and symbolize a deep connection between the practitioner and the divine. Traditionally, the Serkyem is filled with tea or, in some practices, with alcohol, along with uncooked grains that represent the five types of grains, symbolically standing for wealth and livelihood.

This Serkyem not only plays an important role in your spiritual practice but also adds a touch of beauty and brilliance to your altar. Whether you are a dedicated practitioner or an admirer of Buddhist art, these vessels are a meaningful addition to any sacred space.
