We do not offer the lamps because enlightened beings need to see them. Rather, the offering of light is a means of dispelling the darkness of our own ignorance, giving rise to clarity and wisdom. We offer them with the wish that their light will illuminate the lower realms and the bardo, relieving the torment of beings who suffer in darkness. We also aspire that all beings will develop greater mental clarity in order to discover the causes of long-lasting happiness in virtuous actions of body, speech, and mind. Finally, we offer them so that the inner light of great knowing will arise in all beings’ minds and remove the darkness of ignorance and intellectual obscurations.” ~Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche By offering a butterlamp, you are making a symbolic offering of wisdom. Just as light dispels darkness, the lamp represents the removal of ignorance so that you and all beings can attain the wisdom of enlightened mind. Some examples of butterlamp offerings: Illuminating the path of someone going through difficult times; In memory of loved ones who have recently passed away; For the long life of our precious lamas; So that more people can find the Dharma and be freed from suffering; To create positive conditions for the success of your intentions, for the benefit of all beings. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche in a teaching on butterlamps explains: “In the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, we accumulate merit in order to create positive short-term circumstances such as health, wealth, and longevity and, more deeply, to reveal our wisdom nature. What is the meaning of butterlamp offerings? We do not offer butterlamps because enlightened beings need to see them. Rather, the offering of light is a means of dispelling the darkness of our own ignorance, giving rise to clarity and wisdom. We offer them with the wish that their light will illuminate the lower realms and the bardo, assuaging the torment of beings who suffer in darkness. We also aspire that all beings will develop greater mental clarity in order to discover the causes of long-lasting happiness in virtuous actions of body, speech and mind. Finally, we offer them so that the inner light of great knowing will arise in the minds of all beings and remove the darkness of ignorance and intellectual obscurations. The pure and excellent ones to whom we offer are the Three Jewels — the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, who encompass all enlightened beings; the Three Roots — Guru, Yidam and Dakini; and the dharma protectors. We exercise great care in offering, for the merit created is dependent upon our pure motivation, visualisation, and proper gathering and preparation of the substances. If everything is done mindfully, our merit increases, as do our positive qualities. On completion of our offering, we dedicate the merit for the benefit of all beings so that this accumulation of virtue cannot be destroyed.” (Khadro Ling, Brazil, 1999) may all sentient beings benefit www.patreon.com/cw/OmVajrapaniHum
