☛ BUTTER LAMP: BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Butter lamps, also known as butter lights, are found in Tibetan Buddhist temples and monasteries all across the Himalayas. Traditionally, the lamps burned clarified yak butter, but nowadays, vegetable oil or vanaspati ghee are commonly used.
The butter lamps enhance meditation by focusing the mind. “If you aspire for sublime realization, offer hundreds of lights,” says the Cakrasavara Tantra’s Root Tantra.
☛ FINISHING: CHOCOLATE OXIDIZED
This Serkyem Offering has been given a chocolate color antique patina. This oxidation is an imitation of a copper statue aged more than 100 years. This color has not been painted on the statue so the patina will not wear off easily, This patina comes to the statue by artificial oxidation process which will also protect the statue from natural oxidation.
