Butter Lamp

The tradition of lighting butter lamps in Tibetan Buddhism dates back to ancient times and is deeply intertwined with Tibetan spiritual practices. The practice is believed to have been introduced by the great Indian scholar Shantarakshita in the 8th century when he traveled to Tibet to help establish Buddhism. According to legend, he instructed the Tibetan people to light butter lamps as a means to symbolize the dispelling of ignorance and the illumination of wisdom. The lamps, traditionally filled with yak butter, became an essential part of Tibetan rituals, especially during prayers, pujas, and ceremonies. Over time, this practice spread across monasteries, temples, and homes, with the belief that offering light to the Buddhas and deities would bring spiritual merit and blessings. Lighting butter lamps continues to be an enduring and revered custom, representing enlightenment, compassion, and the aspiration to guide all beings toward liberation.
