Butterlamp Offerings

We offer butterlamps every day at Iron Knot Ranch, and on special feast (tsog) days many sangha members sponsor the offering of butterlamps for friends or relatives who are suffering or facing difficulties. If you would like to sponsor such an activity please contact us.

50 cents per butterlamp
$50 for 108
