About Our Oil Lamp
This handcrafted copper butter lamp, about 16.5cm tall, is an essential Buddhist ritual object for prayers, offerings, and meditation. In Tibetan Buddhism, lighting a butter lamp symbolizes removing darkness and ignorance, resulting in insight, clarity, and spiritual rewards. When placed on an altar or shrine, it improves the sacred atmosphere, welcoming tranquility and divine energy.
This 0.36kg butter lamp is made of high-quality copper and plated in gold and silver, giving it an air of elegance and spiritual importance. The 12cm diameter produces a steady, bright blaze, while the 8cm base provides stability. Its 5.5cm-deep inner chamber is great for storing butter, ghee, or oil, making it an excellent instrument for daily offerings, meditation, and ceremonies. This elegant butter lamp is a strong symbol of enlightenment and devotion, whether used in personal rituals or at temples.
