Light represents wisdom. The Offering of Light symbolizes wisdom and an offering to dispel the ignorance of our minds, burning away our mental afflictions of desire, anger, greed, jealousy, pride and negative energy.

Flowers represent impermanence as the fragrance and beauty of these flowers eventually become scentless and withered. Offering flowers serves as a reminder to contemplate on the impermanence of all conditioned things.
