Offering butter lamps is the most powerful offering because their light symbolises wisdom. Just as a lamp dispels darkness, offering light from a butter lamp represents removing the darkness of ignorance in order to attain Buddha’s luminous clear wisdom.

We may offer lamps with the wish that suffering and its causes may be dispelled and dedicate the merits to the one who is suffering.

We can offer butter lamps on the occasion of someone’s birthday or anytime, with the wish that they have a long and happy life with good health to bring benefit to beings.

We make light offering to the deceased to ease their passage after death, with the wish that they make a positive future connection with a true spiritual path.
