A sur offering is a Tibetan Buddhist pract … A sur offering is a Tibetan Buddhist practice in which a mixture of flour, sweets and dairy products, sometimes with additional valuable or aromatic substances, is consecrated and placed in a fire or burned as incense.

Sur offerings may also be done to dispel negative or harmful influences, such as ghosts.ive or harmful influences, such as ghosts.
