Stupa is also known as Chorten in Tibetan, which means "the foundation of giving." It represents the enlightened mind (awakened mind, universal divinity) and the road to realizing it. It reflects the Buddha's body, speech, and mind, especially his mind, and each part depicts the path to Enlightenment.
The mental part of a Buddha is shown in Lotus Flanked by Shariputra and Maudalyana, encircled by Chaitya and Chorten Stupa. It is the foundation of five aggregates as well as the way to liberation.
How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning. Regardless of your religious affiliation, a thangka can help you on your path to enlightenment, whether you practice Buddhism or have other religious convictions. Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict. Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment.
