Its symbolic design makes it a meaningful addition for practitioners and collectors who value Himalayan Buddhist art and spiritual heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction of Stupa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView More from Our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/evamratna.com\/collections\/stupa-collection\" title=\"Stupa Collection\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eStupa Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESS","offers":[{"title":"21cm x 10cm","offer_id":48857550848254,"sku":"28081ESSKadampaStupa","price":864.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7214\/2590\/files\/download_03d992de-2cd0-422d-b6cb-092b282c0fd2.jpg?v=1788428014","url":"https:\/\/evamratna.com\/products\/handcrafted-altar-kadampa-chorten","provider":"Evamratna","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
