About Butter Lamp
Our Sacred Silver Butter Lamp Set, measuring 11.5 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter, is an important ritual artifact in Tibetan Buddhism. Each lamp is made of 23 tolas of pure silver (0.134kg per lamp, 0.270kg total weight), which symbolizes divine light, wisdom, and spiritual enlightenment. These beautifully carved lamps are used in Buddhist offerings and meditation to represent the eradication of ignorance and the illumination of knowledge. These handcrafted butter lamps, which are used in temple ceremonies, personal shrines, and contemplative practices, give forth spiritual energy and devotion.
Each butter lamp is embellished with beautiful floral engravings, which are typical Tibetan Buddhist workmanship, and add to its spiritual and aesthetic appeal. The engraved base adds solidity, while the polished silver cup reflects light, providing an ethereal glow that complements prayer and meditation routines. The symbolism of light in Buddhism denotes wisdom, compassion, and the way to enlightenment, making these lamps an important and necessary offering on every Buddhist altar.
Butter lamps in Tibetan Buddhist tradition represent the constant flow of insight and the elimination of spiritual darkness. These lamps, which are traditionally powered by clarified butter or oil, provide practitioners with blessings and direction while also promoting inner serenity and mindfulness. The act of preparing and lighting a butter lamp is a meditative activity that purifies both mind and heart. Whether employed in daily routines, temple offerings, or holy rites, this Silver Butter Lamp Set is a timeless symbol of spiritual dedication and creative craftsmanship.
Introduction to 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 that engages a person physically and mentally if they know and practices it according to the norms.
