Butter lamp

Offering a butter lamp is believed to generate immense merit, helping to purify negative karma and illuminate the path to enlightenment for both oneself and others. Monks, nuns, and lay practitioners light butter lamps to honor the Buddha, Bodhisattvas, and other deities, often accompanied by prayers for peace, clarity, and spiritual liberation.

In many temples and homes, rows of glowing butter lamps create a serene, meditative atmosphere, serving as offerings for healing, protection, and the accumulation of good karma. The act of lighting a butter lamp is not only devotional but also a reminder to cultivate inner light—compassion, wisdom, and awareness—in everyday life.
