Description
Traditionally, butter lamps (lights) are also offered as a dedication to the dead in order to guide them after death with the dedication they make a strong spiritual connection with the Dharma. Doing something actively to benefit others can help relieve the sense of helplessness often associated with grief.
You can offer for a loved one on a special occasion, for their long life, or for a new venture. Your offering can be dedicated for those who are suffering, facing difficulties, for situations in the world that touch your heart such as war, disasters, bushfires etc or you can offer lights as an expression of love, joy or gratitude.
