About Butter Lamp:
Enhance your rituals with sacred light using this Tibetan Meditation Butter Lamp, a key aspect of traditional Himalayan Buddhist spiritual practice. Butter lamps are placed on altars and used in ceremonies to symbolize the light of wisdom dispelling the darkness of ignorance. The lamp's flame is utilized in temples and personal shrines for puja, prayers, and meditation to remind people of inner clarity, awakening, and focused devotion. This artwork pays homage to the centuries-old tradition of Tibetan ritual art, combining symbolic intent with graceful form.
This butter lamp is meticulously created from brass and tung, a historic metal alloy known for its unique shine. The lamp is 20.5cm tall and has a 13.5cm broad bowl with an interior depth of 6.5cm, making it ideal for holding ghee or oil offerings. The base is 8cm wide, allowing for secure placement on any flat surface, such as a shrine or altar. The lamp weighs approximately 0.58 kg and has a steady, balanced feel that makes it perfect for regular ritual use. The use of brass and tung not only enhances the lamp's beauty but also links it to a centuries-old tradition of ritual craftsmanship passed down through generations of Tibetan artists.
In spiritual practice, lighting a butter lamp is more than a ceremony; it is a meditative act that invokes merit, purifies karma, and develops mental clarity. This lamp's soothing radiance offers a peaceful atmosphere ideal for profound meditation or prayer. Whether you're a devoted practitioner, a student of Eastern philosophy, or someone who values the beauty and profundity of sacred items, this lamp brings a significant presence to your spiritual path. It also makes a lovely gift for monks, meditators, and anybody who values inner calm and mindfulness.
Introduction To The Butter Lamp :
Offering a butter lamp is also a deeply 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 entire process is a meditative spiritual practice that engages a person both physically and mentally, provided the person knows and practices it according to the established norms.
