Butter Lamp - Banisher of Darkness
This is a traditional
butter lamp, a ritual implement used in Buddhist temples and monasteries
throughout the Himalayan region. Clarified yak butter,
or ghee is traditionally burned in
the lamp, but vegetable oil is often used today. Butter
lamps are believed to help focus the mind and aid meditation.
Offering lamps is also an
important act for the Buddhist practitioner. Offerings
are made to bring success and prosperity, to remove ignorance (lamps
represent light and knowledge), and to bestow blessings
on loved ones who have died. In temples and monasteries,
hundreds of lamps may often be seen shining together before the sacred images,
with each lamp representing someone's heartfelt wish and devotion.
