Buddhists offer light as a way to dispel the darkness of ignorance and as a wish that their light gives rise to clarity and wisdom. They are also an aspiration towards the development of greater mental clarity and a path to happiness and knowing.

Thank you. It was a small temple inside of Nammobuddha, Nepal.

When I saw this title and your name, I wondered if you were wishing you were back in Nepal?! I’m sure you miss some things and not others.

Yes, very true on both counts. I miss the beauty and amazing traditions of Nepal, and the people so much. I don’t miss the pollution and the horrific noise of the traffic. Its been a while since I went through the Nepali photos to find these…so many memories.

This is lovely indeed. I admit I clicked on it because the word “butter” was in the title. Are these fueled by ghee? Butter colored? Or does the name sound like the word “butter”.
I love butter..and so I clicked. 🙂

Too funny…I like butter too. But the lamps are traditionally made from clarified yak butter…which I admit I haven’t tried. I did try yak cheese and was surprised to learn it had a very mild flavour. There’s a post on that somewhere on the blog!
