A Serkyem, also known as a Dharmapala offering, consists of two pieces—a chalice and a basin—for making ritual offerings to Protector deities. Typically filled with tea, wine, and tsok substances, the serkyem symbolizes continuous protection and the spread of dharma teachings. In Tibetan, 'ser' means gold and 'kyem' means drink.

The eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism—endless knot, victory banner, wheel of dharma, parasol, golden fish, treasure vase, lotus, and conch— represent offerings made to Shakyamuni Buddha upon his enlightenment.
