I love the idea of the "Burn the Buddha" Candles. Not only do they represent a challenge and teach us to let go, they are ridiculously cute!
The ultimate step to enlightenment is to let go of all earthly attachments. So of course everyone buys this Buddha candle with the intention of placing it on an altar or shelf somewhere, and to never burn it.
Get this: The point is to burn it!
When I explain the simplicity of the practice, peoples minds are blown!
We buy the Buddha, we love the Buddha, but you must burn the Buddha.
The end result of burning the Buddha is that we learn that the spiritual and emotional things we value are what are important on our journey to Nirvana.
So, Burn the Buddha!
