第一是心境光明。當你點燈時，使佛顏明亮，露出莊嚴、美麗、慈悲的容顏，人人皆可拜見，因此當你未來選擇人生之路，遇到障礙煩惱時，冥冥中自有答案指點你。
第二是智慧增長。別人做不好的事情，你可以做得很好，找工作就會無往不利。
第三是可以消除魔障。你在佛前供燈，佛自會護佑你，讓邪氣不上身，祛除病苦，除罪消業。
.
尤其清明節是我們中國人祭祖掃墓的大日子，若能把握這個特殊的日子，為已故親人以及歷代祖先點燈，送去溫暖、光明與功德，使先人獲得殊勝的功德和利益，讓佛光照亮他們的生命，滅除重罪、障礙，使他們得到佛菩薩的接引，到達淨土，獲得解脫，便能永世不再承受輪迴之苦，就是對先人最好的供養。
.
同時祈願所有慈悲的供燈人，借助火、借助偉大的佛光加持，能得到幸福、健康、快樂、平安、完美、智慧，也讓我們尊敬的人、愛護的人，在神聖的節日，在佛前得到佛光普照，得到佛力的加持與庇護。

Light Offerings and Filial Piety
What do we actually get from light offerings to the Buddha?
Firstly, our minds are brightened up because when we make a prayer we will be facing a brightly lit Buddha with a solemn, beautiful and compassionate appearance. In addition, we will be guided when faced with obstacles or have worries in our life journey. Secondly, we will have increased wisdom and be able to do the things that others cannot. There should also be success if we are seeking employment. Thirdly, the Buddha will protect us from demonic attack and illnesses and also clear away our bad karma.
In fact, we should seize the opportunity to offer a lamp on behalf of our ancestors during this Qing Ming Festival. Because by doing so, we are sending warmth, illumination and merits to them as the Buddha’s light will illuminate their afterlives, eradicate their bad karma and clear away obstacles in order that they can be guided by the Buddha and Bodhisattvas to Pureland and be liberated from samsaric transmigration.
Simultaneously, the fire and radiating light from the Buddha will bless us - the compassionate ones who made the light offerings, with joy, health, happiness, peace, perfection and wisdom. For the ones that we love and respect, during this festival, they will also receive blessings and be sheltered by the radiating light and energy from the Buddha.
