Twice a month, many Tibetan Buddhists — and all practitioners with Higher Tantric commitments — make Tsog offerings. Usually this is a gathering of the sangha (although remote practitioners might practice alone, and visualize the gathering). In turn, the Tsog offerings are offering to the root and lineage gurus, the yidams, the Three Jewels, the ocean of Dakinis and oath-bound protectors, and all beings of the six realms.

Unique to Vajrayana are advanced and highly detailed visualizations of the "Field of Merit." The meditator tries to create and hold a vision of the lineage of buddhas, bodhisattvas, lamas, sages and mahasiddhis that transmitted the Dharma. Then, mentally, we prostrate and make offering to the visualized deities. Such strenuous visualization trains and disciplines the mind, while also creating the conditions for positive merit.
