Lamp Offering (供灯)

Lamp Offering

In the Buddha-Dharma, offering a lamp before the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is a sacred expression of humility, gratitude, and heartfelt reverence.
As we offer lamps outwardly, we also kindle the inner light of wisdom — dispelling ignorance, strengthening resilience, and illuminating our path of cultivation towards auspiciousness and awakening.

In the upcoming months, you are warmly encouraged to offer a lamp before the Blessed One, Buddha Śākyamuni, on these meaningful days:
