From

Butter lamps originated from the living customs and religious beliefs of Tibetan areas. Butter lamps are a type of butter extracted from milk or goat milk. Tibetans often use butter in their daily lives. In the early days, ghee started being used as fuel to light lamps to light up the house and keep away the cold. With the spread of Buddhism, butter lamps were gradually used in Buddhist rituals and ceremonies, becoming a part of offering to Buddha, Bodhisattvas and ancestors.

Religious significance

In Buddhism, butter lamps symbolize the light of wisdom, which can dispel ignorance and bathe the soul. Butter lamps are also regarded as a good deed that can bring merit. Especially in Tibetan Buddhism, thousands of butter lamps are often held in temples, forming a spectacular prayer for world peace and happiness for all beings.

The use of butter lamps is still very common today, especially during major religious festivals such as the Festival of Lights and in daily prayers. It not only carries people's wishes, but also connects ancient culture and modern beliefs.
