Description

Details

A traditional vessel for making light offerings to the Three Jewels. The offering of light to the enlightened beings increases wisdom, wealth and creates the causes for a strong and healthy body.

Traditionally, butterlamps in Tibet were filled with yak butter. As butter was quite hard to obtain, offering butterlamps on the altar was considered a very precious offering.

The lighting of a butterlamp symbolises the illumination of wisdom — Buddha Shakyamuni’s realisations when he attained Enlightenment and dispelled the darkness of ignorance that obscures the mind’s true nature. For Tibetan Buddhists, a butterlamp offering also carries their personal wish to attain Buddhahood and the aspiration to achieve the mind of clear light at the time of death, thereby experiencing liberation.

Make our brass butterlamps a part of your shrine and let the light of wisdom shine.

Directions for Use

  • Contemporary method: Place a suitably-sized candle or tealight in the butterlamp bowl.
