There is no difference between a red ghee lamp and a yellow ghee lamp. The lamp is a symbol of light and wisdom, and is one of the ten offerings. We hope that through the instructions and meaning of the lamps, you will be able to ignite the "lamp of your own nature" in your heart. Lamps are a symbol of wisdom and light; burning a lamp to offer to the Buddha begins with the Buddha's statement that lamps are a symbol of light and wisdom, and are one of the most important offerings in the Buddha's disciplines.

A ghee lamp conveys the infinite devotion and prayers of the believers, allowing the souls of the living and the departed to communicate and exchange ideas. Many outsiders, come to Tibet's temples, in addition to a variety of shapes of the Buddha and the protector of the statue of God, the most attractive to them, shocked them is that a long bright and indestructible ghee lamp.

Why are ghee lamps lit like this around the clock and in such large numbers?　Ghee lamps occupy an important position in the life of Tibetan believers. In addition to the temples, where you can see the spectacular scene of a thousand ghee lamps flickering and flickering, you can also see long-lasting ghee lamps in the homes of Tibetans.

Where there is light, there is human civilization. Tens of thousands of years ago, human beings already knew how to use natural fire to protect themselves from cold, barbecue and lighting. More than three thousand years ago, mankind began to use simple lamps to carry fire candles and write the history of civilization.

From rough stone lamps to bronze lamps, ceramic lamps to modern electric lamps, the historical changes of lamps have been y marked by the times, and at the same time, it is also a microcosm of the socio-economy and culture.
