About Lamps

In a Dharma context, lamps symbolize the dispelling of ignorance and the illumination of wisdom. Lighting lamps is a common ritual in Buddhist practice, representing the light of enlightenment that dispels the darkness of ignorance. Just as a lamp illuminates its surroundings, wisdom illuminates the mind, guiding individuals on the path towards awakening. Lamps also symbolize the inner light of awareness and mindfulness, guiding practitioners through the journey of self-discovery and spiritual transformation. In ceremonies and festivals, lamps are often lit as offerings to the Triple Gem – the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha – as an expression of reverence and devotion. Additionally, lamps serve as reminders of the interconnectedness of all beings, shining their light of compassion and understanding in the world.
