The act of lighting candles or incense is deeply symbolic in Buddhism, and can serve various purposes. For example, lighting a candle or incense can:

* help symbolize enlightenment and the dispelling of ignorance,

* act as a reminder of impermanence, for just like the flame, life is fleeting and ever-changing.

* be a sign of reverence, respect, and devotion Buddha, bodhisattvas, or other deities in the Buddhist tradition,

* serve as a focal point during meditation, helping with concentration.
