Explain two different types of offering that Buddhists might make. [4 marks]

• One offering Buddhists might make is cut flowers.

• These wilt and remind Buddhists of impermanence (anicca); that is, everything will eventually end, including themselves.

• Another offering they might make is bowls of water.

• The clear and still water reminds them of a clear and untroubled mind, which they try to develop by meditating.
