gtor ma Offering ([[gtor ma]])
From [[Longchenpa]]'s [[sems nyid ngal gso]]:
*gTor ma offerings (Skt. [[naivedya]]/ [[bali]]) are cakes, usually made of dough and often decorated with colourful butter sculptures. Sometimes they are embodiments of the meditational deities asssociated with particular ritual practices, or they may be food offerings presented to various deities or protectors visualised in the context of meditation. Yet again, gtor ma may act as physical symbols into which diverse aspects of negativity are absorbed, transformed, and ejected through ritual practices. See also Nebesky-Wojkowitz, Oracles and Demons of Tibet, pp. 347-358. [[GD]] (from the Glossary to [[Tibetan Elemental Divination Paintings]])

Great Perfection: Resting in the Nature of Mind states:

By following spiritual teachers and virtuous companions,
The accumulation of virtue will grow and pleasant results will be attained.
There will be no fear in existence, but infinite benefit and happiness,
And the attainment of the boundless wealth of the two-fold benefit of beings.
These guides of ours are emanations of the Victorious One,
Appearing as they do in these degenerate times.
Therefore, we should follow such sacred beings
For as long as we have not attained the essence of enlightenment.CJD
