Offering of Lamps to Dispel Darkness













May the vessel of this butter lamp
become equal to a thousand times
a thousand universes!

May its heart become equal

to Mount Meru,

the king of mountains!


May its light illuminate

the worlds from the top of their summits

down to the very bottom of the Avici hell realms!


May these butter lamps

appear and spread in front of the eyes of

all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

of the ten directions and of the three times!


The darkness of the ignorance

of beings' minds having been dispelled,

may the clarity of the great purity,

primordial wisdom, radiate!
