Övrig information

Burning of butter lamps is seen regularly in temples during prayers. The practice is said to help focus the mind and aid meditation, to dispel the darkness of our own ignorance. It is also used during funerals dedicated to the deceased to ease their passage after death. Traditionally, a twist of cotton wicking was lit in the bowl filled with clarified yak butter. Today vegetable oil is also used.
