| − | Although identical in appearance, there are two kinds of water vases: the ‘chief’ or ‘main vase’, or ''tso bum'', and the ‘activity’ or ‘working vase’, the ''lé bum''. The main vase is the support for the visualization of the [[mandala]] of deities. The activity vase is used for water purification during the different stages of the ritual. In the [[Khandro Nyingtik|new Nyingtik]] tradition, the main vase is placed at the centre of the mandala house or shrine for ceremonies such as empowerment. The activity vase, used by the [[chöpön]], is usually placed on the vajra master’s table.
