The light from a butterlamp symbolizes the wisdom of the Buddhas that dispels the darkness of ignorance. What could be a more perfect offering as we recite Shantideva's elucidating text?
For $30 you can sponsor the offering of 27 butterlamps on our shrine. Of these, 21 lamps will burn for a day and six will burn for a day and a night. Your sponsorship will apply to the program as a whole so that we offer butterlamps week after week. Or you may request to sponsor a certain recitation date and we will make every effort to honor it. You may also dedicate your offering to someone and we will read their name at the beginning of the next recitation or on a requested recitation date.
