Every month on Guru Rinpoche Day (10th day of the lunar month), monks and nuns at Asura Cave offer butter lamps for the benefit of beings. Asura Cave is a truly special sacred site where Guru Rinpoche manifested the realization of Mahamudra. Among many benefits for beings, lighting butter lamps enhances the clarity of one’s meditation.
