This picture depicts the main visualization for Offering to the Spiritual Guide, which is a special spiritual practice of Je Tsongkhapa’s tradition, done twice a month at all Kadampa Buddhist Centers.
The main practice is relying upon the Spiritual Guide, but it also includes the essence of all the stages of the path (Lamrim) and training the mind (Lojong), as well as all the Tantric practices.
The “Field of Merit” is so called because by developing faith and making prayers and offerings to this assembly of holy beings, we create a vast amount of merit, or good karma. See the book Mahamudra Tantra for a detailed description.
