About Butter Lamp
This set of two handcrafted Tibetan butter lamps, made of pure silver, is elaborately designed for traditional Tibetan Buddhist rites and serves as a perfect way to honor your spiritual practice. These ritual lamps are ideal for everyday presents or ceremonial use due to their balanced form and elaborate ornamentation. They are 14.5 cm tall with a bowl that is 10.5 cm in diameter.
Each lamp is crafted from pure silver, symbolizing purity, clarity, and divine light. Together, they weigh 0.252 kg, or 0.504 kg. While the 7cm base ensures strength on your altar, the interior depth of 5cm provides plenty of room for oil or ghee. These butter lamps are both a spiritual offering and a beautiful work of art, whether used to light prayers, pay respect to the Buddhas, or illuminate your sacred space.
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.
