The butter lamp is traditionally burnt with refining oil from yak milk. It is commonly seen in Tibetan Buddhist temples and monasteries in the Himalayas. In Tibetan Buddhism, lamp offerings have the same merits as a charity. Lighting a butter lamp means that one lights the inner wisdom of oneself. Moreover, Tibetans and Buddhists consider the butter lamp as an essential part of meditation in tantras. Many lamps together can be beneficial for achieving focus of the mind. When burned, butter lamps provide a very soft light. This smoky light is superbly mesmerizing.
