Butter Lamp
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.
