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.
