Butter Lamps: A Divine Offering

Butter lamps hold a prominent place in Tibetan Buddhism, representing the offering of light to the enlightened beings. It is believed that offering light accumulates merit, purifying negative karma and promoting wisdom. The practice is rooted in the story of a young woman, also called Jetsun Milarepa, who sold her hair to buy a butter lamp for a Buddha. Even though she had no money, she gave all that she could for the lamp. The lamps are traditionally filled with clarified butter, representing purity and nourishment, and their flames symbolize the burning away of ignorance. Each flicker is a prayer, a dedication to the pursuit of enlightenment.
