In Tibetan Buddhism, the chorten (or stupa) represents the Buddha's awakened mind and the path to enlightenment. It is a potent symbol of regard as well as a spiritual focal point for meditation, merit accumulation, and ritual sacrifices. This handcrafted stupa, created by expert artisans, is great for individuals looking to strengthen their spiritual practice, enhance holy settings, or give as a sign of peace and transformation.
Introduction To Stupa :
Before Buddhism, great teachers were buried in mounds. Some were cremated, but sometimes they were buried in a seated, meditative position. The mound of earth covered them up. Thus, the domed shape of the stupa came to represent a person seated in meditation much as the Buddha was when he achieved Enlightenment and knowledge of the Four Noble Truths. The base of the stupa represents his crossed legs as he sat in a meditative pose. The middle portion is the Buddha’s body and the top of the mound, where a pole rises from the apex surrounded by a small fence, represents his head. Before images of the human Buddha were created, reliefs often depicted practitioners demonstrating devotion to a stupa.
