Butter lamps are of great importance in Tibetan Buddhist practice, symbolizing the light of enlightenment that dispels the darkness of ignorance. These lamps are typically filled with ghee or oil and placed on altars during puja rituals, meditation, or as an offering of devotion to enlightened beings. Their consistent, pleasant light is thought to bring good energies and blessings.
Introduction To The Butter Lamp:
The whole process of offering a butter lamp is also a very spiritual practice. The traditional practice of preparing a butter lamp starts by washing one’s hand, wearing a mask to protect from contaminating the butter lamp through one’s breath, making the wick out of pure cotton, and cleaning the chalices with a clean piece of cloth reserved for this or fresh mosses from the trees, which was commonly used in old times. The whole process is a meditative spiritual practice, which engages a person both physically and mentally, if the person knows and practices it according to the norms.
