The practices of offering charity to spirits, nagas and pretas are often recommended by Lama Zopa Rinpoche — both for the benefit of the practitioner and for the benefit of the beings to which the practices are dedicated. These practices are being made available to the general public for the first time, and we have compiled them, along with advice and commentary from Lama Zopa Rinpoche, in one convenient booklet.
