Introduction of Enlightenment Stupa

Prior to Buddhism, great teachers were interred in mounds. While some were cremated, others were occasionally buried in a seated, meditative posture, covered by an earth mound. Consequently, the domed shape of the stupa evolved to symbolize a person seated in meditation, mirroring the Buddha's posture when he attained Enlightenment and knowledge of the Four Noble Truths. The stupa's base represents his crossed legs in a meditative pose, the middle section signifies the Buddha’s body, and the top of the mound, from which a pole rises surrounded by a small fence, symbolizes his head. Before human images of the Buddha were created, reliefs frequently depicted practitioners showing devotion to a stupa.
