Finding Wisdom In The Light

The light that comes from the flame on a Butter Lamp is a mark of wisdom of the awakened mind. It symbolically gets rid of the darkness brought about by delusion and mental complications. Butter Lamps are used and commonly seen in nearly every Tibetan temple, household, and altar. These Butter Lamps are burned with ghee butter and are normally made with metallic materials like silver, brass, copper and white metal.

The act of offering a Butter Lamp is deemed to be powerful as the light it brings symbolizes wisdom. Just as a normal lamp should work to bring light to darkness, offering light from this ritual item represents the removal of ignorance in order to attain Buddha's luminous clear wisdom, as Buddhism points to the path of enlightenment.

In the Buddhist Tradition, the use of Butter Lamps as an offering also creates harmony, and generates a form of blessing while promoting success, prosperity, longevity, and peace, including the providence of help to overcome life?s obstacles, and heal some diseases. With regards to death, when a Butter Lamp is offered on behalf of the deceased, prayers are recited so that the spirits would be free from peril and will be at peace as it comes to the time of rebirth.

People who uses Butter Lamps aspire that all beings will develop a greater sense of mental clarity in order to discover and experience true joy in upright dealings of the physical body as well as in the aspect of speech, and mind. Finally, these ritual items are offered so that the inner light of knowledge will come out in everyone?s minds and that the shadows of lack of knowledge and intellectual degradation will be removed.
