The Sakyong Lineage is the family line which holds, protects, and teaches the principle of basic goodness, which is the fundamental ground of enlightened society.

When people make offerings to the Sakyong Lineage, there are two aspects. One is their devotional gift to their teacher, which in the vajrayana Buddhist tradition has to do with the relationship between teacher and student. The second aspect is creating an energetic connection that generates blessings from the lineage to the students of the lineage. It does not matter how large or small an offering is, if it is done with a heart of devotion and the offering itself is an act of love. Then all offerings are of equal magnitude and equal significance.
