About Butter Lamp:

This Tibetan Butter Lamp is a traditional offering vessel for light, crafted from copper and brass with care and precision. Measuring 10.5 cm in height, 8 cm in diameter, and weighing 0.18 kg, it is designed to hold clarified butter or oil for use in Buddhist rituals. Lighting a butter lamp symbolizes wisdom, clarity, and the dispelling of darkness, making it an essential element of Tibetan spiritual practice.

The lamp’s elegant contours and polished metal surface reflect the artistry of Himalayan craftsmanship. Its copper body is enriched with brass details, creating a luminous finish that enhances both its ritual and decorative presence. The 3.5 cm deep chamber provides space for the light offering, while the pedestal base adds grace and stability, allowing it to take its place on any altar or meditation setting.

As a Buddhist offering vessel, this butter lamp carries deep symbolic meaning. The flame it holds is more than light — it represents spiritual illumination, compassion, and the offering of clarity to the Buddhas and bodhisattvas. Whether placed on a shrine, used in daily practice, or displayed as part of a sacred space, this lamp embodies the union of devotion, symbolism, and cultural heritage.

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 hands, 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 were commonly used in old times. The whole process is a meditative spiritual practice that engages a person both physically and mentally, provided they know and practice it according to the norms.
