According to Buddha
The first offering is that of pure drinking water. It is offered with the thought that whatever benefit one accumulates may, for the present, bring about the annihilation of suffering through thirst among beings. Especially beings in realms such as the pretas, or hungry ghosts, may receive relief from the suffering of thirst. The offering is also made so that ultimately all beings may be permeated by loving kindness and compassion.
the past, the future and the present
everything flows and all is connected
this eye is not merely seen reality
it is touching the truth
there’s nothing to fear
