Narrative:
Dolma (Tibetan: གཏོར་མ།, Willy transliteration: gtor ma, THL: Tor-ma, Sanskrit: Balingta or nayviday), also known as food, Dolma, Dolma, and sacrificial food, is a kind of dough food made of tsampa or cooked wheat flour and butter in Tibetan Buddhism. It is used to worship Buddha, Bodhisattva, deity or gods, or to feed ghosts. They can be dyed different colors, but are generally white or red in color. It can be made into different shapes according to different uses, usually a cone. Although Tormas are usually small and can be placed directly on a shrine or tray, large Tormas are also made during grand festivals.
Its raw materials are mainly three white and three sweet (milk, cheese, ghee, rock sugar, honey). There will be slight changes in raw materials depending on different regions. For example, the ball-shaped food offered to gods in India should be the prototype of Dolma. Offerings to the main deities of the Care Department, Action Department, and Yoga Department basically use white food (Tibetan pronunciation: Gaduo), offerings to the Supreme Yoga Department and protectors mostly use red food (Tibetan pronunciation: Maduo) and add inner nectar to the raw materials.
The design of the Tower of the Sun was inspired by "Dorma".
Nowadays, most people use plastic products or any plastic alternative products to replace offerings.
