Here is a little story that might inspire you.
During the time of the Buddha in Shravasti, there was a beggar woman who had nothing to offer to the Buddha. Great patrons of the Buddha like Antha Pindika and King Prasangika, gave so many offerings to the Buddha and his sangha which she appreciated so much, but she was unable to make such vast offerings herself. One day she decided to make a single light offering in the temple where the Buddha and his disciples gathered to meditate. She went door-to-door begging for enough oil to make a single butterlamp offering. Finally, after gathering enough oil, she offered a single lamp in the temple among hundreds of others lamp offerings.
Simultaneously, she made the heartfelt aspiration, “By this light offering may I achieve the same wisdom as Buddha Shakyamuni, the arhats and all enlightened beings, completely dispelling the darkness of ignorance of all sentient beings.” Then she left the temple.
Throughout that day, the hundreds of light offerings gradually burned out. Among all of them, hers was the only lamp still glowing towards the end of the night. That evening Ananda came to the temple. Seeing that a single light was still illuminated, he thought to extinguish the lamp by waving his hand but he was unable to put it out. So he tried to blow it out with his breath and then by fanning his robes. Still he was unable to put out the flame. At this time the Buddha entered the temple. He said, “Ananda, don’t try to put out this lamp offering. You will not be able to do this. An old beggar woman dedicated this lamp for the enlightenment of all living beings, so her aspiration cannot be interrupted. Please let it burn. Leave it alone.”
Upon hearing this Ananda was very surprised and he left.
The candle remained burning for days.
“Just as the beggar woman Nyenga
Offered a butterlamp to the Buddha,
Similarly, I offer this light to the Buddhas.
May I fulfill the same wishes.”
As told by Khenpo Tsewang Rinpoche.
