The butter lamp is one of the offerings we Buddhists make to god before
we pray. It is a very old
tradition we buddhists do daily. We imagine all the darknes, evil and ignorace
lit up by the butter lamp.
My dad recently told me
the story of a poor old lady who had very little money but used it all up to offer
one butter lamp to buddha. But she did so with so much devotion that when the
people thought it was enough and they tried to extinguish it, it wouldn’t be
extinguished. Then buddha said to them all that the butter lamp wouldn’t be
extinguished for it had been lit with such devotion.
No that explains the
power of the butter lamp and it also does say that if you do any thing with
devotion it will sussed.
