☛ 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.
