Lotus lamp for offering to Buddha: In the past, candles and oil lamps were used for offering lamps. Lamps represent wisdom, which dispels darkness. Wisdom illuminates life. In a deeper meaning, it means burning oneself and illuminating others. When we offer lamps in front of the Buddha, we must understand this meaning.

In society, we must sacrifice ourselves for others, which means offering lamps. The candle burns oneself and illuminates others. This is what the Buddha meant here. We must sacrifice ourselves in society to benefit the society and all sentient beings. It is not about enjoying happiness, but sacrificing ourselves for others. This is what it means. Various offerings in front of the Buddha have profound teaching meanings, and they are all meant to represent the Dharma and remind oneself.
