About Butter Lamp

This Butter Lamp Set for Ritual Light Offerings, crafted from copper and brass, is ideal for both ancient Tibetan rites and daily spiritual activities. Each lamp is 11cm tall and 9cm in diameter, featuring an ornate, timeless design that symbolizes the light of knowledge. The lamps are lightweight, with each weighing 0.20 kg, and are often used to illuminate offerings during Tibetan rituals and prayers.

The butter lamp holds profound cultural and spiritual significance in Tibetan Buddhism. The light represents knowledge, and presenting butter lamps helps remove the darkness of ignorance, just as a lamp removes the actual darkness around us. These lamps, often used for various events such as health blessings, birthday celebrations, and commemorating those who have passed away, are potent instruments for spiritual development and insight.

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.
