Tibetan candle
I have no idea why I've been fond of picture of Tibetan candle very much. I can find on e in the internet as shown, but in too small resolution. Do you guys have another option for me, in much bigger resolution that you can provide. Thank you for your hands.  |

Re: Tibetan candle
I think they are also called Yak butter candles? I agree they are pretty. Try google search, This forum will only allow you to upload files of upto 100kb in size so I've provided a couple of links.. https://intothemiddlekingdom.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/candles.jpg or similar to yours http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e4WELipUFo4/S8knOXxjmEI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/LYm7tlcYr4o/s1600/IMG_2340_1+(Large).jpg _________________ “Art Is Never Finished, Only Abandoned.” |

If you are feeling adventurous you could photoshop your own flames onto this photo! http://intothemiddlekingdom.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/candles.jpg _________________ “Art Is Never Finished, Only Abandoned.” |

Re: Tibetan candle
I've been to Tibet and yes, they use Yak butter, quite sacred for sacrifice (these my English words, but the gist you know). (Yak butter in those climes is what can mean life or death for family, so to offer .....) When I went inside temples, very busy at a sacred time. So dark, the soot of the butter burning. I would not take photos, respect, so just memories, big gold Buda(s), very dark walls and the yak butter burning as offering. They were much lager than you depict and self rustic made. Aroma subtly permeates, but fits the mood. |
